Source Speedrun Tools: practice tools and handy features for Source Engine games https://qdb.woz.blue/mike/sst/atom?h=v0.18-BETA 2025-04-06T15:41:13+00:00 2025-04-06T15:41:13+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2025-03-10T02:37:19+00:00 urn:sha1:244fea664121acf12871ab5858a5fe95a2606b52 Also switch to somewhat proper C23 flags while we're at it. This is a huge change. It took me forever, in between being really busy. Sorry about that. But the good news is I'm now free to start integrating the various patches that have accumulated since last release. Well, at least in between still being really busy. Gotta manage expectations. The main benefit of introducing GAMESPECIFIC() is that features that don't apply to a particular game no longer show up *at all*, and less time is wasted on init. It also enables a cool optimisation wherein unnecessary REQUIRE_GAMEDATA() checks can elided at compile time whenever the gamedata is known up-front to always exist in supported games. The DEF_FEAT_CVAR macro family meanwhile makes it easier to manage the lifecycle of cvars/ccmds, with less manual registering, unhiding and such. Originally I was going to try and just hack these features into the existing codegen abomination, but it just got too terrible. This rewrite should make it easier to continue tweaking codegen behaviour in future. It also has slightly better error messages. 2024-08-23T19:37:37+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2024-08-03T22:40:31+00:00 urn:sha1:83da606072ce272eb053d4e1497d77e647cfecae My new programming style is branch hints. All non-confusing branches must be hinted when I can be bothered. It's faster, sometimes, maybe. Also, start trying to use more signed sizes in at least some of the places where it makes sense. Unsigned sizes are surprisingly error-prone! 2023-08-26T23:46:09+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-08-20T15:20:03+00:00 urn:sha1:a1998f2f7ce4153d670e2e5cb5018366517cc1ca Nothing really works yet, but at least test.h and fastspin are fixed and some of the issues with RTTI and libdl and stuff are maybe kind of sorted, subject to more testing later. The main issue now seems to be the cvar interface not quite lining up and crashing pretty much immediately. That'll probably take a lot more debugging to figure out, which likely still won't be a priority for quite a while. 2023-08-02T20:02:31+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-07-29T13:32:06+00:00 urn:sha1:9a0d8730fa977f666b5c12e4c5901e7d0391e245 A lot of this is random WIP from a while back, at least a month ago, and is being committed now to get it out of the way so that other patches can be brought in and integrated against it without causing headaches. Also rolled into this commit is a way to distinguish plugin_unload from exiting the game. This is required for another soon-to-be-integrated feature to avoid crashing on exit, and could in theory also be used to speed up unloading on exit in future. While we're at it, this also avoids the need to linearly scan through the plugin list to do the old branch unloading fix, because we can. Rough summary of the other smaller stuff I can remember doing: - Rework bitbuf a bit - Add some cryptographic nonsense in ac.c (not final at all) - Introduce the first couple of "chunklets" libraries as a sort-of subproject of this one - Tidy up random small bits and bobs - Add source for a small keypair generation tool - Rework democustom to be very marginally more useful 2023-06-20T20:00:00+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-06-20T20:00:00+00:00 urn:sha1:a86be4b76d96464e4bb9aa108d2c01198125084e That sorting function was a bit wonky, so make it just a little bit wonky instead. chibicc would produce confusing lex errors if given a stray single quote somewhere, so make it give non-confusing errors. Also get rid of canonicalize_newline() because it's unnecessary for SST so long as Windows Git isn't left in its default misconfigured state. 2023-05-04T22:49:27+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-05-02T18:16:22+00:00 urn:sha1:5194eeb0e7bb5d2a2086c96ed04c2a47f9594d87 In both the engine and SST it's used in more places than just console printing, so it makes more sense to give it a more appropriate nanme and location. 2022-09-20T22:47:11+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-09-20T22:47:11+00:00 urn:sha1:f6fb10a7d3bfb59a729ee4b7a9368632ab52077a 2022-09-13T21:50:30+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-09-13T20:46:21+00:00 urn:sha1:792463cb133f65645feb48743bbc03ef8eb96bdd Another big one. Here's a list of things: - Since the upcoming C23 standardises typeof(), use it as an extension for the time being in order to allow passing arbitrary types as macro/codegen parameters. It wouldn't have been a big leap to do this even without standardisation since it's apparently an easy extension to implement - and also, to be honest, this project is essentially glued to Clang anyway so who cares. - Likewise, bool, true and false are becoming pre-defined, so pre-pre-define them now in order to get the benefit of not having to remember one header everywhere. - Really ungodly/amazing vcall macro stuff now allows us to call C++ virtual functions like regular C functions. It's pretty cool! - Events can now take arbitrary parameters and come in two types: regular events and predicates. All this makes the base code even uglier but makes the feature implementation nicer. In other words, it places more of the cognitive burden on myself and less on other people who might want to contribute. This is a good tradeoff, because I'm a genius. 2022-08-10T21:40:52+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-07-31T15:02:10+00:00 urn:sha1:5e921bf59373d79d27c322ff86e8b5a37b151e45 2022-07-23T22:47:26+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-07-23T22:47:26+00:00 urn:sha1:c8d7588251fd4fe63ac6afe2a90ca7066c786609
