The console was not keeping its current scoll position if entries from the backlog are removed due to being recycled when new entries are added. For this purpose, a callback function is added to the ringbuffer to handle popped items, so the scrolling position of the console can be updated based on the number of lines of the removed backlog entries.
Fix backlog corruption in `CConsole::PumpBacklogPending` when many backlog entries are allocated at the same time. When allocating many entries from the `m_Backlog` ringbuffer at the same time, the first entries being allocated may already have been recycled again, so the pointers to them being stored in the temporary vector of new backlog entries were pointing arbitrarily into the ringbuffer data, which could cause corruption of the structural and user data of the ringbuffer. Now, we iterate over the entire backlog and only update uninitialized entries instead of storing the new entries separately.
This was sometimes caught as a misaligned access with UBSan:
```

Fix out-of-bounds accesses when rendering ghost players, which use the client ID `-2`. This was causing the hook collision line of ghost players to be affected by real players, which is not correct, as ghosts do not interact with other characters.
Closes#8239.
Add optional filename argument to `start_video` command, to start recording to a video file with a specific filename, instead of always using the current timestamp.
Add log messages to `start_video` and `stop_video` commands to indicate success and errors.
Make the `CClient::StartVideo` function non-`static` and reduce duplicate code in the `Con_StartVideo` function.
Determine the video filename outside of the `CVideo` constructor, same as for demos.
Fix game times and prediction not being updated when only exactly two snapshots have been received, due to the conditions `m_aReceivedSnapshots[...] >= 3`. These specific condition are not necessary and replaced with simpler checks whether the current snapshot is set. Some duplicate nested conditions are also removed.
Pump the network first in `CClient::Update` before updating anything else, to ensure that snapshots are received from the network client before the game times and prediction are being updated based on the current snapshots.
Fix current and previous game tick always being `0` on the first call of `IGameClient::OnNewSnapshot` when two snapshot have been received. Now, the game ticks are properly initialized from the two initial snapshots.
Fix old inputs sometimes being used in prediction after changing map because inputs with tick `-1` were not being ignored.
Ensure all snapshots and game times are properly cleared when entering the game.
`GetConsoleMode` can fail with `ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE` when redirecting output to `nul`, which is considered a character file but cannot be used as a console.
The purpose of this condition is to only update the freeze time every 50 ticks so the freeze bar keeps being refilled after one second when standing in freeze, but it incorrectly prevented freeze from being applied during the first 50 ticks after the map has been loaded. Now, freeze is also applied if not currently frozen, so the behavior directly after changing the map is identical to subsequent respawns.
Clear current server info when playing demos to ensure that the score kind (points, time) is detected correctly. Previously, when playing a demo with points score kind and `cl_demo_assume_race 0`, the score was not shown as points when the last server that the client connected to had a race gametype.
Move the implementation for `cl_demo_assume_race` together with the rest of the demo server info initialization in the `CClient::DemoPlayer_Play` function.
The demo player needs to be rendered also when the menu is inactive, to handle the hotkeys for controlling the demo player and to render the play/pause and speed indicators.
Closes#8208.
These conditions are contained in an `if(State() == IClient::STATE_ONLINE)` branch and the state does not change while inside this branch, so these checks are unnecessary.
Previously, when connecting to servers repeatedly, the local tee would appear at the position it had on the previous server for a short time when joining.
This (and potentially other bugs) are fixed by clearing all game related `CGameClient` member variables in the `OnReset` function. Additionally, the `OnReset` function is now used in the `OnInit` function to ensure everything is initialized correctly when starting the client and to avoid duplicating the code.
In particular, this bug was limited to use of `cl_predict 1`, because the predicted gameworlds were not being reset when disconnecting, causing the predicted world and character from the previous server to be used. This bug was introduced in version 15.6, which added the predicted gameworlds in #1620. Closes#4339.
For the internet/favorite tabs, instead of combining the country/type filters of all communities in one view, track the country/type filters separately for these tabs using the new, reserved community name `all`. This should make the filters less confusing to use, as changing the country/type filters in one tab will not influence the other tabs anymore. Though the country/type filters of the internet and favorite tabs are still combined, as this is also the case for the community filter.
However, this made it possible to select country/type filters that exclude all servers, by first excluding some countries/types and then changing the selected communities so all selectable countries/types are excluded. To prevent this, the filters will now include all countries/types, if they would otherwise exclude all selectable countries/types.
To do this more efficiently, the community cache is moved from the menus to the engine serverbrowser. To avoid using the UI page in the engine serverbrowser, the serverbrowser type is instead used to detect if the community cache should be updated. This required additional changes in the menus to ensure that the UI page and the serverbrowser type stay in sync with each other, which would otherwise cause incorrect server entries to be shown for one frame when switching tabs. The serverbrowser type is now refreshed immediately when the menu page is changed with the `CMenus::SetMenuPage` function, which allowed removing duplicate code for the server browser tab buttons. The `CMenus::RefreshBrowserTab` function does not take the page to be refreshed as argument anymore, as it always was only used to refresh the current page. Instead, a `bool` argument is used to specify whether the refresh should be forced even if the server browser type has not changed.
Closes#8158.
Adding the snap to the demo is the last usage of `pTmpBuffer3`
all prior usages of it copy the data if needed.
So we can edit it in place. No need to copy it into a new buffer.
Remove unnecessary, inconsistent margin at the top of all settings menus.
Reserve space for restart message and button only when necessary, so more height is available for settings menus per default.
Improve vertical alignment of restart message and button with settings menus.
Ensure consistent margin on all sides of settings menus.
Use consistent margins for all settings pages and titles.
Fix chat preview overlapping with the restart warning.
Simplify layout code. Remove array of `CButtonContainer`s with arbitrary size and use individual variables instead.
Simply hide the favorite community tabs in the offline server browser with screen resolutions where not enough width is available.
The ingame server browser can always show at least 5 favorite community tabs with all screen resolutions.
Skip rendering various client components (players, ghosts, nameplates, HUD etc.) while not ingame to improve performance. This increases FPS when rendering the start menu by around 300-400 both in debug and release builds.
This also fixes potential crashes when components using the map data where rendered while the client is loading a new map.
The rcon username requirement was not reset correctly when disconnecting from a server while connecting/loading, at which point the `NETMSG_RCONTYPE` message has already been received.
Closes#4170.
Pass `CImageInfo` arguments to various graphics and text render functions instead of passing the components (data pointer, width, height, format/pixel size) of the image info separately.
Pass texture/file name to loading functions when available to improve error/warning messages.
Split menu rendering explicitly by client state. This makes the code more readable by not mixing code for rendering different states together as much and fixes issues where the menu was being rendered inconsistently for one frame when the state is changed, at the cost of some additional duplicated code.
The fullscreen popups shown when in the connecting and loading client states are now hard-coded for these states, instead of being mixed together with the other fullscreen popups, which can be shown when offline, ingame or during demo playback.
As a side effect of rendering the demo controls like the regular menu, the UI color will now also affect the demo controls menu background.
Move `CBackground::ChangePosition` calls inside functions to reduce duplicate code and improve readability.
Remove unnecessary `CMenus::m_ActivePage` variable.
Closes#7834.
The function `fs_makedir_rec_for` for recursively creating folders did not handle paths containing backslashes correctly and only created folders after every occurrence of a regular slash. This could cause the recursive folder creation to fail when a parent folder is not created before the child folder. For example when recursively creating folders for the path `D:\Games/DDNet\downloadedskins`, the `DDNet` folder was not being created because this path segment does not end in a forward slash. Now, backslashes are handled the same as regular slashes, which is consistent with the other filesystem functions.
Additionally, the function tried to create folders for drive letters on Windows (e.g. `C:` and `D:`). Trying to create a system drive as a folder will fail due to access being denied, whereas it seems to work for already existing non-system drives. For example when recursively creating folders for the path `C:/Games/DDNet/downloadedskins`, the `C:` "folder" could not be created which caused the entire operation to fail. Now, the function will not try to create folders for drive letters anymore, i.e. if the name of the to be created folder ends with `:`.
Closes#8148.
m_FreezeStart is now corrected by the ticks the character was paused
Possible physical changes: Until now it was possible if you sit inside freeze to re-freeze instant
after unpause. Now you re-freeze after the second that was dawned before
the pause. I do not excpect that this is used on any map, and it did not
bring any benifit.
Invalid UTF-8 will not be read from config files with `CLineReader` anymore and the local console never allowed entering invalid UTF-8, so this additional mangling of invalid UTF-8 string config variable values is unnecessary.
The engine graphics do not need to be involved with freeing image data.
The `Free` function now also ensures that all other member variables are cleared when freeing the image data.
The `unknown address` log message got printed very often because many servers have 0.6 and 0.7 addresses but only 0.6 addresses are considered valid by the client.
Support scrolling all scroll regions with the mouse wheel also while popup menus are open. Support overlapping scroll regions by always scrolling the top-most hovered scroll region on mouse wheel events.
The hot scroll region is now tracked separated by `CUi`, as tracking the IDs of all UI elements which are contained in scroll regions is not feasible. The separate active state for scroll regions is therefore unnecessary.
It's still necessary to disable `CListBox`es when popup menus are open, to ensure that only one list box consumes the key events.
Closes#8087. Supersedes #8090.
Add strict validation for `StrToInts` function. Because this function should only be used with trusted internal strings, assertions are added to ensure that the string is not truncated. Some buffer sizes are adjusted accordingly, so truncation cannot happen.
Add less strict validation for `IntsToStr` function. An additional argument specifying the size of the output buffer is added to assert that the size of the output buffer is sufficient. However, because this function is used to decode data sent by the server and read from maps and ghosts, invalid input data should never result in crashes or invalid UTF-8 strings. The function will now unpack an empty string and return `false`, if the string contains invalid UTF-8.
The inline definition of the functions is not wanted, because it requires adding a `system.h` include in `gamecore.h`. Therefore the tools now have to depend on game-shared, which previously only worked because the functions were inline.
Tests are added to ensure the function still behaves the same as before for valid inputs and correctly handles invalid inputs.
`CNetConsole` will now ignore received lines containing invalid UTF-8 codepoints. Previously, it was possible to crash the server on Windows with Econ commands like `exec <invalid UTF-8>`.
Previously, usage of `void *`, `unsigned char *` and `uint8_t *` was mixed in various places for pointers to raw image data and the pointers ended up being cast to `uint8_t *` at some point anyway. Now only `uint8_t *` is used consistently, which improves type safety and readability. Casts to `uint8_t *` are now only necessary when using `malloc` or when reading data from a map.
Show completion options for key names for all bind commands (`bind`, `binds`, `bind_reset`) in the local console.
At the moment this only works for completing the first key name but not for composite binds that use `+`, which would work differently than other console argument completion.
Unnamed keys (starting with `&`) are not shown as completion options.
Refactor console argument completion to reduce duplicate code.
We want to change the state of the job from `STATE_QUEUED` to
`STATE_RUNNING`, but not from `STATE_ABORTED`. Previously, the code
usedd `exchange` to change the state and compared non-atomically
afterwards. This led to `STATE_ABORTED` being replaced by
`STATE_RUNNING` in a race. With `compare_exchange_strong`, this can no
longer happen.
Fixes#8044.
Fix HTTP client effectively shutting down by entering the `ERROR` state when a request cannot be added. Now only the invalid request is aborted immediately. The `ERROR` state is now only entered when a curl function fails in a way where recovery is not possible.
Fix occasional deadlock when HTTP client is shutting down after entering the `ERROR` state, by also immediately aborting new requests when the HTTP client is already in the `ERROR` state.
Remove unused `CHttp::EState::STOPPING`.
Prevent the `tune_zone` command from being shown and used in the local console, which could cause issues with prediction, by only registering it as a game setting but not as a client command. The command callback is still correctly called when map settings are loaded in the `CGameClient::LoadMapSettings` function.
Previously:

The color selection should only be shown for normal envelope points but not for bezier control points, because it always changes the previously selected normal envelope point. This caused the client to crash when right-clicking a bezier control point when no normal envelope point was previously selected.
Closes#8020.
When image blitting is supported by the Vulkan backend, the color picker was reading incorrect pixel values, because the offset positions for the blitting region are the positions of the top-left and bottom-right corners, but instead the top-left offset and size (width, height) were passed as arguments.
Closes#8040.
Only building the switch entities layer when the current map has a switch layer (#8011) also does not work, because the entities textures are cached for each type and not reloaded unless the entities are changed manually. First joining a server with a map that does not have a switch layer will cause the textures for the type of that server to be built without the switch entities layer, so the switch entities texture will be missing when joining a server of that type with a map that does have a switch layer.
Instead, the switch entities layer textures are always built now, so the cached entities textures are can be used on all maps of the respective server type. This is expected to slightly increase the total memory usage after joining multiple servers of different types. As before, tiles which are unused are masked unless `m_DontMaskEntities` is set.
Instead of defining the macro `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` and sometimes also the macro `_WIN32_WINNT` in each file that directly or indirectly includes `<windows.h>`, only define these macros once consistently in `CMakeLists.txt`.
Also define `NTDDI_VERSION`, which is the new macro to specify the minimum Windows version starting with Windows Vista. This macro needs to be defined in addition to old `_WIN32_WINNT` macro, according to the documentation.
See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winprog/using-the-windows-headers
Assert on failures in all `thread_*` and `sphore_*` functions on all operating systems instead of only printing log messages on Unix, as these functions are only expected to fail when used with incorrect arguments or in some cases when a dead-lock is detected.
On macOS, `sphore_wait` was not correctly calling `sem_wait` in a loop to repeat the wait operation if it is interrupted by a signal.
On Windows, the AIO tests were failing with the additional assertions. The maximum count that semaphores on Windows could be incremented to was previously, arbitrarily limited to 10000, which was causing the `ReleaseSemaphore` call to fail as the AIO semaphore is signaled 65536 times (for each write operation) in multiple of the AIO tests.
- Remove `ValidateFCurve` function because it's small and only used once.
- Remove unnecessary checks in `SolveBezier`, as all of these conditions are already checked before the function is called.
- Remove unnecessary double negation of `InTang` to improve readability.
- Use `double` literals for `double` comparisons instead of `float` literals.
- Fix comments.
There is no need to divide the times by 1000 when evaluating bezier curves, as all times are relative and the division adds significant inaccuracy, to the point where evaluation of bezier curves goes completely wrong in some cases.
Closes#8005.
Add `IJob::Abortable(bool)` function which jobs can call to specify whether they can be aborted. Jobs are not abortable per default. Abortable jobs may have their state set to `IJob::STATE_ABORTED` at any point if the job was aborted. The job state should be checked periodically in the `IJob::Run` function and the job should terminate at the earliest, safe opportunity when aborted. Scheduled jobs which are not abortable are guaranteed to fully complete before the job pool is shut down. However, if the job pool is already shutting down, no additional jobs will be enqueue anymore and abortable jobs will immediately be aborted.
In particular, the sound loading, community icon loading, master chooser and host lookup jobs are specified as being abortable. Conversely, the jobs saving replay demos, editor maps and screenshots are expected to finish before the client is shut down.
When the client is quitting/restarting, it will now disconnect from the current server first, before saving the config, to ensure that any actions that happen on disconnect (demo recorders being stopped etc.) happen first. The shutdown message is rendered before disconnecting and waiting for background jobs to finish.
The HTTP client is now initialized later during server launch, after the network initialization. Error handling is added and the server stops if the HTTP client could not be initialized, same as the client.
The `RunBlocking` functions are removed, as they are not used anymore after curl-multi was added.
The function `IJob::Status` is renamed to `State` and `IJob::STATE_PENDING` is renamed to `STATE_QUEUED` for consistency with naming of the HTTP client.
The member variables of the engine interface are encapsulated and the `jobs.h` include is removed from `engine.h`, which removes transitive includes of `system.h`.
Documentation for all job and job pool API is added.
Instead of only building the switch entities when the server uses the DDNet/DDrace type. Fix switch entities not being shown anymore on servers which do not mask entities. Regression from #7979.
Call `EnvelopeEval` functions directly instead of passing them and their arguments to `CRenderTools::RenderTilemap` and `CRenderTools::RenderTileRectangle`.
Only evaluate color envelopes for tiles layers once instead of separately for the opaque and transparent passes.
Only evaluate relevant number of envelope channels instead of always evaluating all channels.
Avoid unnecessary calculations by only evaluating position envelopes for quads which are not fully transparent.
Fully ignore layer color and envelope color for entities layers, as these cannot be specified in the editor and should not be changeable.
Remove duplicate and insufficient checks for invalid envelope index before calling `EnvelopeEval`. Instead, set the correct default for all channels before calling `EnvelopeEval` and only change the result on success. Now, white color will consistently be assumed for invalid color envelopes, zero positions and rotations for invalid position envelopes, and full volume for invalid sound envelopes.
Validate number of envelope channels to prevent crashes. When loading maps containing envelopes with invalid number of channels (not equal to 1, 3 or 4), the number of channels of these envelopes is reset to 4 and an error message is displayed, so the mapper can examine all channels' data and transfer it to another envelope if necessary. Closes#7985.
Use consistent margins for all settings pages and titles (except the Appearance settings, which will be covered in the future).
Fix checkbox UI element ID variable `s_LowerRefreshRate` not being `static`.
Improve readability of layout code.
Matching the requester allows "reliable" and "unreliable" pings.
"Reliable" pings suffer from re-sends, thus might not accurately reflect
the latency, "unreliable" pings might not arrive at all.
If the own ghost is the last element in the vector and deleted due to using the `cl_race_ghost_save_best 1` setting then the following accesses with index `Own` were out-of-bounds. Closes#8003.
Add mandatory Boolean attribute `has_finishes` to every community info, which specifies whether finishes can be shown for the community, regardless of whether any finishes are currently available for the player.
The community info must be adjusted when/before merging this, by adding the attribute `has_finishes` to every community object, with the value `true` for DDNet and `false` for all other communities.
Closes#7957.
The check before calling `normalize` incorrectly excludes skins containing zero in any color component instead of excluding only skins with zero in all components. The check can be removed entirely, because it is already checked inside the `normalize` function whether the length of the `vec3` is zero, in which case a zero `vec3` will be returned.
For very large skins which use large color values in at least one component, the `int` used for calculating the blood color could overflow.
Prevent skins with invalid names from being loaded/downloaded.
Improve log messages when skins cannot be loaded.
Remove obsolete check for duplicate skins, as the storage handles duplicate files already.
Instead of adding the placeholder skin to the list of skins only when no skins have been loaded, always create the placeholder skin and use it only when no other skin is available.
Use reasonable values for skin metrics of placeholder skin to improve its rendering.
This adds highlighting color when hovering the main menu buttons (File, Tools, Settings), which was previously missing for these buttons. This also reduced duplicate code.
Extract font size for menu buttons into constant `MENU` in new namespace `EditorFontSizes`.
Use `DoButton_FontIcon` with `FONT_ICON_MINUS`/`FONT_ICON_PLUS` consistently instead of using `DoButton_ButtonDec/Inc` with text labels `+`/`-`.
For yes/no buttons, use `DoButton_Ex` and specify the button corners explicitly instead of using `DoButton_ButtonDec/Inc`.
Reset dragging operation when the dragged button has been unset and reset dragged button when operation has been reset, to prevent the editor from being stuck in either of two inconsistent states. This could be reproduced easily by clicking very quickly while moving the mouse up and down over the groups/layers list.
Do not call `CheckActiveItem` on a UI element (the dragged button) which might not be in view, as this prevents the UI from detecting the invalid active item, when groups/layers are dragged very far and quickly outside the scrollregion.
Closes#6855.
