Allows the SavegameManager to destroy all saves related to the current UUID session so hardcore mods can enforce this safely instead of needing to go nuclear.
By default allow only settings controllers to save the game. Use actual file names to help prevent possible save file overriding as savexx is unreliable online. Prevent quicksave behavior from working with the rotator. Force a unique netgame subfolder for multiplayer saves to remove the ability to override singleplayer saves. Send over the host's -loadgame argument to make loading easier (will not override the guest's -loadgame in case they need a special file name).
Readds the feature to allow players to ready up during stat screens and intermissions instead of autoskipping based on whoever closed it. Comes with a variety of ways to tweak this behavior such as percentage-based auto starting (with a timer), the ability to unready as needed, and who can control it. Players will still be able to skip through individual screen jobs within the runner while waiting to ready up.
Adds support for client-side Thinkers, Actors, and ACS scripts (ACS uses the existing CLIENTSIDE keyword). These will tick regardless of the network state allowing for localized client handling and are put in their own separate lists so they can't be accidentally accessed by server code. They currently aren't serialized since this would have no meaning for other clients in the game that would get saved. Other logic like the menu, console, HUD, and particles have also been moved to client-side ticking to prevent them from becoming locked up by poor network conditions. Additionally, screenshotting and the automap are now handled immediately instead of having to wait for any game tick to run first, making them free of net lag.
Rewrote lobby to unify common and Doom-specific packet structure, allowing for saner handling of in-game joining. Added a new per-client stage system that allows individual clients to be handled at a time when gathering and sharing info. Reworked lobby UI to display user info and added kick/ban functionalities. Bans are only a temporary per-game IP ban (use passwords to keep unwanted users out). Increased max player count to 64 and unified engine constant.
Rewrote netcode to be more stable and functional. Packet-server mode has been restrategized and will now be the default netmode when playing with 3+ non-LAN players. TryRunTics has been cleaned up with older tick control behavior removed to account for the rewritten renderer. The main thread is now more consistent when playing online to prevent potential slow downs and lock ups. Load barriers are better accounted for to prevent spikes on level transition. Improvements to chat and lobby systems including a force start game button. Added a suite of new host options such as kicking and controlling who can pause the game. Max players increased from 8 to 16 since the new code can now handle it.
Note: Demo functionality is untested. This will be rewritten at a later time alongside improvements to GZDoom's playback features (e.g. freecam mode).
Now uses a "last safe position" system instead. This:
-Prevents players from slipping into places they shouldn't via their dead body and then respawning there
-No longer sends players back to spawn if they fall into kill pits
-Adds a safety feature where the kill command always resets back to spawn should a player ever get stuck somewhere
Unique RNG namespace for client-side effects and HUDs. Identifiers for these cannot clash with identifiers that affect the playsim making them completely safe to use in HUD elements. They also won't be saved.
cleaned up function interface to avoid referencing the file system in the worker functions.
replaced StringTable's operators with functions.. The main reason is that these are far easier to look up when browsing the source.
This also fixes a premature translation in SBARINFO that was done in the parsing stage, not the printing stage.
This is a combination of 2 commits.
Revert "New API for assigning unique network ids to objects"
This reverts commit e37c19b5b4.
This is the commit message #2:
Revert "Fix for Morph virtual"
This reverts commit 0ef042562e.
No longer picks a random spot on the first spawn but will account for players spawning in sequentially. No longer fails to return a spawn spot if every player is dead while respawning (instead it picks a random one).
* making all members protected (but adding friend overrides for the classes which still need it)
* allowing to read data without retrieving the FResourceLump object.
