Also, the text of the faded-out player list is re-rendered with alpha == 0 every time the mouse enters its area, do a little less needless work in that case.
Previous revision didn't work, many controls retained their shadows because they never got the new flags from the color scheme and put them into the dynamic text map. I haven't checked if any more of the many control classes are affected, but those that we need in the KI right now are covered.
The fix (adding adjustment of fRenderInfo.fDestPtr) made kRenderJustXForceLeft behave as intended (left-aligning the edge of the bitmap rather than the side bearing of the first character) but cuts off shadows in some places (e.g. at the left edges of "BUDDIES" and "NEIGHBORS" in the mini KI). To ensure enough space for the shadow, and considering that all content was developed and visually optimized with the bug in place, it seems better to preserve the buggy behavior and make kRenderJustXForceLeft work exactly like kRenderJustXLeft.
Intended to make KI text (player list and chat) better readable on light and patterned backgrounds. In this WIP, all text on GUI controls is rendered shadowed.
This fixes the irregular dark fringes around light text when not exactly pixel-aligned that are caused by independent interpolation of color and alpha. It also makes calculations simpler for things to come.
In addition to being a prerequisite for shadowed text, this also fixes an issue sometimes seen at the bottom of the mini KI player list where characters with a descender were missing.
Should work for Cyan too because plClient uses the same libraries.
I wonder what the purpose of the Release_Patcher configuration is and whether we should be using that one, which already has all this stuff (with slight differences).
- Remove plCyDebug and NetDiag which we don't have (from ef365800375c)
- Remove pfCCR which we no longer have (since 791583dea277)
- Add plUruLauncher and plClientPatcher (from ef365800375c)
- Add plFileEncrypt, plFileSecure, plPythonPack (from f3497c6d7f6d)
I also took the liberty of restoring the post-build copy step for plFileEncrypt and plFileSecure. If Cyan doesn't want that, we can probably put it in a separate project that is only part of AllClient-ou.sln but not AllClient.sln.
- plCCRMgr.h which is still needed by plAvatarMgr.cpp (plCCRError only - if there is more in this file at Cyan, that definition should be split out into a separate header)
- Stubs for pyCCRMgr{|Glue|Glue2}.cpp which are still part of the pfPython project as well as pfCCRConsoleCommands.cpp which is still part of the pfConsole project. This is under the assumption that these files still exist with nontrivial contents at Cyan - if not, they could just be removed from the projects. Requires adjustment by Cyan to build with PLASMA_CCR_RELEASE.
- Put more missing includes and calls under #ifdef PLASMA_CCR_RELEASE
Those who have the EAX SDK should indicate this on the command line by adding /DEAX_SDK_AVAILABLE to environment variable CL.
Trying to keep common project files and configurations between OU and Cyan for now, we'll see how that goes.
Too many changes to describe in detail, see commits on parent branch build918chunks.
Some of them break buildability outside of Cyan, to be fixed in subsequent commits.
Merge conflicts in some .sln and .vcproj files all resolved by taking the Cyan version.
Free the cursor, update
Updates to pull request #21 by Hoikas that fix the issue that quick mouse moves while walking/looking by mouse could get the cursor out of the window and break the continuous turning.
From H-uru PR #221 "Window fixes".
Fix remote code execution through Python.Cheat and Python.RunFile
An exploit fixed by boq. Original pull request: https://github.com/H-uru/Plasma/pull/218
This somewhat modifies the syntax used for running Python.Cheat; it's still easier to use it directly in Python, though.
Avatar physics update
A significant and much needed cleanup of the avatar physics code. It resolves numerous issue with and greatly simplifies the physx character controller implementation.
While there is still room for improvement, this is a good starting point.
Avatars now jump consistently, regardless of cpu speed. Fixes unexpected camera transitions with entering/exiting some subworlds. (Teledahn elevator) Fixes a jitter in animated subworlds. (Er'cana harvester) Dynamic controllers are correctly positioned on the ground. (Jalak) Much improved interaction with dynamic physicals.
Other physics related issues may or may not be addressed.
In particular, the intro movie now exits immediately again rather than staying indefinitely.
The important difference is to send the completion callback in plBinkPlayer::NextFrame(), i.e. act as if we had reached the end of the movie.
Storing the filename is to keep plClient::IHandleMovieMsg() from deleting and recreating the plBinkPlayer on every message.
The changed return values are just to better match the previous behavior and probably don?t matter.
To better handle erroneous trigger events under the new timing method, use the number
of times the simulation has actually advanced instead of the number of evals received.
Cleaned up a bit.
Provides more accurate interaction with detectors when the avatar is moving up or down.
Also decreases the severity of the PhysX trigger hull bug in some detectors.
This change doesn't affect world collisions.
This hack prevents the cursor from leaving the window when panning the
camera or changing directions quickly. This is important for those with
high mouse sensitivities.
Fix improperly calculated window size in initial Windowed mode.
User visible effect: This changeset removes an (in)visible grid of seams or blurriness in the client window. They are most noticeable when moving the cursor over them.
Window shouldn't have a resizing border.
Improved Cursors
This is the second attempt at getting the following improvements to the Uru mouse cursors into CWE-ou:
* fix the blurriness
* add a subtle shadow to fix cursors being invisible on light backgrounds
* cleaner, more regular appearance
A (slightly outdated) picture for comparison is at http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?t=558&p=4265#p4265 , and anyone who has played on Gehn, TOC, or any other shard using the H'uru client has already seen the new cursors.
In order to do this properly, in a way that will continue to work in a cross-platform future, a lot of work done by Deledrius in the H'uru fork is included: He added PNG support to Plasma and introduced a client resource manager that loads resources such as the cursors, but also voice chat indicators and the loading linking book animation, which were also replaced by higher-quality recreations, fromfile instead of from Windows resources. resource.data
This also opens the way for other applications of PNG, such as saving the local copies of KI pictures in a lossless format instead of the heavily compressed JPEG we currently have.
Note: the new code requires a newer version of libpng than included with the CWE sources. Like other library dependencies, this must be installed separately. Instructions for that are at http://wiki.openuru.org/index.php?title=Build_the_client_with_MSVC_2003#Build_steps .
