This is the crowning feature: the whole point of this exercise. You can
now update redists from the client launcher itself. To activate this
functionality, you will need to flag the file 0x10 in the manifest. I
recommend listing your redists in the patcher manifests.
This adds a license-stopgap "feature" ... You can now update only the game
data by using the -Repair argument on the launcher. You'll need to specify
a stripped down MOULa server.ini with the GateKeeperSrv keys/host.
ONE PATCH! This commit brings us to half of the patching goal: on launch
of the client, we only show ONE "Updating..." message before we enter the
game proper. Go us!
This has a couple of benefits:
- We should theoretically no longer run into UnicodeDecodeErrors from the
plString-based implementation
- By doing things engine side, we can use the logging API to colorize log
messages.
This fixes the stutter when adding a buddy to the KI. The return value was
never used, according to grep. There is a delay between hitting enter and the player being added, but that's acceptable.
- Age User Name and Age Instance Name are equal in the case of some child
and public ages. If they are, only return one of them. Don't return
"Ae'gura Ae'gura"
- Changed to return plString instead of a pointer to a temporary buffer
that immediately goes out of scope
Turns out, it was an artifact of us suspending the simulation during links
and partly because of Cyan's late adding of the avatar controller to the
sim. Now, we add the avatar as soon as the age data is loaded. This causes
the camera stack to be populated with whatever garbage PhysX decides on,
then xJourneyClothsGen2 is free to set the real stack after we get all the
SDL from the server.
Verified to fix Teledahn oddness and not display a regression in Kemo.
