execpc's ProzacTF server, info strings for other players are checked to
ensure that they contain the "name" key. If the key is not present, it is
set to "user-%i [exploit]", where %i is the userid of the player. Players
using this exploit should now show up on the scoreboard and users list
and be visible during gameplay. Although this renders the exploit useless
against players using QF, the exact way in which it bypasses the extensive
checks of a player's name by the server needs to be discovered so that it
can be fixed. The server in question uses a bastarized version of QF
0.5.2, so it's possible that the problem still exists in QF today.
cl_chat.[ch] to qw to hold advanced chat features, the first of which is
the ability to ignore chat messages from annoying players. Some polishing
in this area still remains, but the current implementation seems to work.
All the details of game directories will be fully configurable (search
paths and gamecode file name currently supported). Downloading of skins to
qw/skins only currently broken (will download to $gamedir/skins for now).
The player global branch variable is now updated with useful information
and the location.get builtin is available to return the current location
of the player based on loc files. Fixed a bug with zooming out in zoom.gib.
server bug anyway), broke qizmo (not that I really care: that's still qizmo's
bug) and (most importantly) broke recording demos across map changes.
(Closes: #14)
it's not needed. This should speed things up fractionally for well behaved
mods/servers that send atomic svc_stufftext packets (ie, always ending in
\n).
found at the end of the string. This works around a stupidity in some
servers where stufftext commands are sent in pieces and might not reach
the client before execution occurs, resulting in parse errors.
Cvar fs_fraglog is a new cvar for the filename of the fraglog (default: qw-score.log)
Any devel should take a look at qw/source/cl_parse.c and qw/source/sbar.c to verify
the place where the function is placed and called, i am not shure if its correct there.
Changed Cmd_TokenizeString to accept a flag that controls the application
of filters (tags, variables, escape characters) to the tokens and modified
a few places in the source that called it. Added a secondary command
buffer that is parsed without filters for legacy command support.
Currently, it is only used for commands stuffed into the console from the
server. It is hacky, and I hope to eventually generalize the console
interface to support any number of buffers and audit the rest of the code
to recognize it. For now, the legacy buffer at least keeps escape
character parsing from destroying info strings.
generally cleaned the parser up. If a line begins with |, it will be
stripped off by the tokenizer and no tags or escape characters will be
processed. Commands stuffed into the console from the server are prepended
with | to ensure backward compatibility. This can also be used anywhere
backward compatibility is needed, such as where info strings are stuffed
into the console, or as an alternative to using escape characters in the
entire string.
a blank info string as the only way this should ever happen is when the
server is dropping the relevant client so our client might as well drop it
too.
code cleanups and general performance work to be developed in relative peace.
While cleaning up the networking code /is/ important, fixing QF's perfomance
issues is of much higher priority.
specific plugins only)
- convert updateping, updatepl, updateentertime, updatestat,
updatestatlong, cdtrack intermission, finale, muzzleflashchokecount,
maxspeed, entgravity, and setpause on the client. Can you say all
that in one breath? :)
net_svc.c, and add add a NET_SVC_GetString function to access it.
As an added bonus, it actually boundschecks it!
- preexpand that annoying SHOWNET macro, which was only used twice,
and was quite small and pointless
- whitespace cleanup and a comment typo fix
like normal, f_skins reports the average percent fullbright for all loaded
skins, and f_skins skinname reports the fullbright percent for a signle
skin. cl_freply controls the time in seconds before another query can be
made. Set it to 0 to disable them. More queries will be added later.
The table for accessing special characters from the console has been
tweaked a bit. Expect it to get tweaked more in the future.
This required changes to the api (info_t instead of char *) but should be
a net gain in speed (not a lot, admittedly: it was pretty fast to begin
with, but this paves the way for some other changes I have in mind).
- fix various spots in the above that called Host_EndGame but didn't
return
- switched the order of modellist and soundlist in net_svc*, to
conform with the rest of the files
- create a new CL_ParsePacketEntities, that only handles
svc_packetentities (so it's much simpler). it uses net_svc*
- rename the message argument of NET_SVC_*_Parse to msg
- rename the other argument to block, for brevity
- convert svc_spawnstaticsound
- convert svc_serverinfo
- convert svc_playerinfo
- fix a exploitable buffer overflow with svc_lightstyle
give mst_t a buffer to hold unterminated message strings
kill MSG_ReadStaticString and MSG_ReadStringLine
msg.c:
kill MSG_ReadStaticString and MSG_ReadStringLine
MSG_ReadString: implement the buffer for unterminated message strings
and update readcount on badread
cl_main.c:
go back to MSG_ReadString and fix up the resulting const char * issues
cl_parse.c:
rewrite the cl_mofake code all because of an uninitialized variable :)
sv_main.c:
use MSG_ReadString instead of MSG_ReadStringLine because
Cmd_TokenizeString really doesn't care about a terminating \n
directly into the packet data.
- change a bunch of char *'s to const char *'s for the above. Only
thing that had trouble was the cl_nofake handler, which I changed to
use a local buffer.
- add MSG_ReadStaticString which acts like the old MSG_ReadString,
specifically that it uses a static buffer and tollerates
unterminated strings.
- add a Q_strnlen function, and make strnlen use it if strnlen is
undefined.
- Add a net_svc.h and net_svc.c which will preparse svc messages into
structs, for easier handling. Currently only soundlist and
modellist are done.
