I've used _wfopen_s() because it's newer and the older variants are said
to throw warning when build with MSVC. But apparently Windows XP hasn't
got that symbol... So just use the normal _wfopen(), MSVC is unsupported
anyways. The may or may not enough to restore Win XP compatibility.
The 'game' command was more or less functional after the last commit.
We just need to reset the initialGame (renamed to userGivenGame) so we
don't revert back to the old game at server disconnect.
When connecting to a multiplayer game that runs a different mod
("game" cvar) than you are, it didn't load the corresponging configs
from the mod, but saved your changes to the config to the mod's config.
Which is doubly useless.
Now when the "game" cvar is changed, the configs are reloaded (from
the right directories for the mod), and when disconnecting the configs
are written, so the changes you did for a mod while playing MP are saved
before game is reset to the game you started with.
Until now we did an easy calculation to determine the frame timing:
1000000 microseconds (== 1 second) / targetframerate == delay between
frames. This works if the CPU and GPU are fast enough since the time
process to process the frame is negligible. But if one of them is too
slow or the GPU driver takes too long (see issue #277 for an example)
we render too few frames.
Work around this by calculating the average time used to process the
last 60 render oder packet frames and take that into account when
determining the delay between the frames. With this change even my
rotten AMD Radeon and it's broken Windows GL driver is able to hold
the displays famerate (enforced by vsync) just fine.
While here add a 5% security margin to our target packet frame rate if
the vsync is enabled. Just to be sure that we never process more render
than packet frames.
There were two ways to implement this. One was to go with the stuff
already included in minizip and one to implement our own wrapper around
fopen(). This is the second options since @DanielGibson convinced me
that it would be safer.
We can't rely on the game.dll being unicode conformant. Work around
that by changing the current working directory before calling into
the game.dll, pass a non unicode string to it and chang back after
we return.
To be able to pass UTF-8 encoded pathes through cvars both the cvar
subsystem and the command parser would need a fair amount of UTF-8
understanding. And I'm not the poor soul that's going to implement
that. Therefor pass the datadir trough a global variable.
This is done in shared.c so that's available for both the client /
server / renderer and the game. A work around for older game DLL will
be added at a later time.
On Unix platforms unicode is implemented through UTF-8 which is
transparent for applications. But on Windows a UTF-16 dialect is
used which needs alteration at application side. This wrapper is
another step to unicode support on Windows, now we can replace
fopen() by a function that converts our internal UTF-8 pathes to
Windows UTF-16 dialect.
This is a noop for Unix platforms. The Windows build is broken,
the compiler errors out in shared.h. This will be fixed in a
later commit.
Caveats:
* fopen() calls in 3rd party code (std_* and unzip) are not replaced.
This may become a problem. We need to check that.
* In the Unix specific code fopen() isn't replaced since it's not
necessayry.
There's no need to exclude directories from search by flags. In fact
the Unix backend has worked nicely for years without it... Sadly we
can't remove the now superfluous 'canhave' and 'musthave' attributes
from Sys_FindFirst() and Sys_FindNext() since they're defined in
shared.h and may be used from custom game DLLs.
* Remove a bunch of unnecessary functions.
* Reorder functions into logical groups. The orderig is now the same
on Unix and Windows.
While at it add several TODOs to the code. There's not need for special
library loading functions for the game, the Windows backend still uses
a lot of old and fishy DOS functions, etc. All this will be done at a
later time.
There's no need to duplicate machine independent parts of the client
initialization and the main loop for every platform.
While at it remove the nearly empty unix.h header and move Windows
main() into an own file. Not both platform have the same basic layout.
