Server/client VoIP protocol is handled by adding new cvars
cl_voipProtocol and sv_voipProtocol, sv_voip and cl_voip
are used to auto set/clear them. All users need to touch
are cl/sv_voip as 0 or 1 just like before.
Old Speex VoIP packets in demos are skipped.
New VoIP packets are skipped in demos if sv_voipProtocol
doesn't match cl_voipProtocol.
Notable difference between usage of speex and opus codecs,
when using Speex client would be sent 80ms at a time.
Using Opus, 60ms is sent at a time. This was changed because
the Opus codec supports encoding up to 60ms at a time.
(Simpler to send only one codec frame in a packet.)
- Get rid of ugly cvars sv_heartbeat and cl_gamename and replace with single com_gamename
- Remove sv_flatline. Flatlines are ignored by dpmaster and are considered to be insecure because flatlines can be udp-spoofed.
- Fix Ryan's FIXME and have voip packet buffer on the server dynamically allocated via Z_Malloc and store pointers in a circular buffer
- Improve voip target parsing on top of Ben Millwood's patch
- Add new "spatial" target where speaker is spatialized in 3d space and can be heard by all clients in hearing range (s_alMaxDistance)
(#4467)
- Decrease voip sound lengths from 240ms to 80ms per voip packet to mitigate udp packet loss and decrease latency
- Protocol version incremented to 71
- Make server send packet fragments and queued packets when server is idle
- Voip protocol detection is tied to com_protocol making past-end-of-message reading unncessary
- Use Hunk_AllocateTempMemory() for buffering VOIP packets and fix buffering scheme that ryan hates so much
- Disable packet scrambling for new protocol as it is useless now
- Get rid of the old packet scrambling functions predating latest point release
- Use Hunk_AllocateTempMemory() for netchan packet queue to fix memory leak when client gets disconnected with packets in the queue
- Use Hunk_AllocateTempMemory() for download blocks to fix memory leak when client gets disconnected with download blocks in the queue
- Fix SV_RateMsec to account for udp/udp6 packet lengths
- Retains full compatibility to the old but unsecure protocol between clients and servers
- Harden the connection process against DoS attacks, possibly connected to UDP spoofing
* com_standalone now read-only
* add new cvars com_basegame, com_homepath
* standalone now automatically detected when com_basegame is set to something different than baseq3 and no id pak pk3s are found
* This fixes https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4699
- Replace a few hardcoded string literals with macros
- Add checks for Team Arena PK3s to FS_CheckPak0()
- Overhaul of the new banning functions:
* basic check for redundant bans/exceptions
* introduction of sv_banFile to make it possible to configure the file where to read bans and exceptions from
* bans can now be deleted by giving address ranges, too.
Previously, a legacy client wouldn't get a VoIP packet, but if they did,
they'd panic and disconnect. Now they ignore them and continue on. This also
gives us the framework to add other features legacy clients can ignore.
Oh, this also has the benefit of allowing us to store incoming VoIP for
playback in recorded demos. They'll play the chatter on VoIP clients, and
be ignored on legacy ones. Huge win.
