After hacking the old to just barely use plString, I received some UTF-8
asserts. So, that seemed like a good excuse to convert the whole mess to
plString. Note that the output is now saved in VaultClient.log. This
should help with getting some of the chaos out of OLD_ASYNC_LOG.log
This reduces the amount of redundant #includes in the plMessage headers.
Still need to check over the actual source files and do some work to
remove pnUtils (ugh) from one message.
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!
Now we render titles above the progress bar and the status below (in the
same color as the progress bar!). Also, introduce a new info field that is
guaranteed to be right justified.
This should help people realize that things are happening... Even if
whatever server they're connected to takes a very long time to process a
join request. At some point in the future, the linking process should be
de-serialized.
This happens on DirtSand shards when two avatars are loading the same age
at once. LoadCloneMsgs are dispatched to the clients before they have
loaded the original keys. The server has no way of knowing that however,
so this is the correct place to fix the problem.
This commit is really quite awesome in that you can now propagate any
plLinkToAgeMsg that will mute the link out, link in sounds, or both. Some
garbage fields were repurposed for this functionality. The messages were
passed correctly on Cyan's MOULa server.
