Source Speedrun Tools: practice tools and handy features for Source Engine games https://git.woz.blue/mike/sst/atom?h=v0.11-BETA 2025-05-01T20:40:32+00:00 2025-05-01T20:40:32+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2025-05-01T20:40:32+00:00 urn:sha1:387b43f065703dcf6bbd518ccc52ad67165cd56e Mandatory reading for new contributors just kidding. But maybe someone will find this interesting. I tried to make it at least kind of funny if nothing else. For people who don't want to read the whole thing, the examples should be possible to skim through quickly to get a rough idea. The licence is a contrived ISC variant because it seemed weird to call the documentation "software" even though I guess technically it is. Since it's contrived already, I went ahead and shortened the disclaimer. The disclaimers on these things are always way too long, and I'm not as worried about having a familiar, standard licence in an ancillary non-code file like this, especially one that isn't really subject to contributions from anyone else. I reckon this will be the copyright licence for any other substantial documentation files going forward. 2025-04-07T20:31:32+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2025-04-07T20:31:32+00:00 urn:sha1:58b495650f7613cdebfe78fff9de2b99556f1998 They're legally unnecessary as far as I know, and kind of annoying to maintain on a long-term basis. This was done with the consent of all 3 other contributors, in case anyone was wondering. 2025-04-06T19:59:36+00:00 Hayden K imaciidz@gmail.com 2025-04-04T00:02:07+00:00 urn:sha1:b36e90b5500e3d3baa3d02d1859d39c09a728689 This should greatly improve the experience of running newest/TLS as well as custom campaigns. The bugginess in question is quite a lot to explain so there's some rather substantial exposition via code comments. The actual fixes are comparatively simple, although still a little subtle to get exactly right and took a few iterations to nail down the edge cases. Thanks to bill for helping me with the RE & assistance on writing the hooks/code and so on. I tracked down a lot of this myself, but the end result wouldn't have been possible without his help. Committers' note: I ended up wrangling this change a fair bit, as I am apparently just always wont to do, and also fixed a bug in the process, hence adding my copyright notice as well. Nonetheless, big thanks to aciidz (and bill) for doing the bulk of the *actual* hard work of figuring out how to do any of this! The actual code changes I made to the original submitted patch were relatively minor; a lot of my effort honestly went into attempting to shorten the massive wall of comment text. At the end of the day, there's still a really long comment, but it's just a lot to explain really so it is what it is. I hope it's at least somewhat understandable to a reader, anyway. 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. 2024-05-22T22:42:11+00:00 Hayden K imaciidz@gmail.com 2024-05-21T22:59:59+00:00 urn:sha1:33a9c3eca5bfc972622935cd455972d64eb513a3 2024-05-21T20:09:44+00:00 Willian Henrique wsimanbrazil@yahoo.com.br 2024-05-19T20:14:55+00:00 urn:sha1:2d0ac38fa0e023d29b32a867240df7fc38c5afaa 2024-02-25T18:55:39+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2024-02-06T20:44:17+00:00 urn:sha1:b32415ad03703e7471ba78de6a93ff251fca3e87 I will probably forget to do this every year. 2023-11-26T21:35:57+00:00 Matthew Wozniak sirtomato999@gmail.com 2023-09-02T15:27:45+00:00 urn:sha1:6ed562049ec6df12d436a7d44cd3d705c523a01c This will be mostly useful for skipping cutscenes in Left 4 Dead games. It may work in other games, but probably won't really be as useful. Committer's note: this was adapted a fair bit from woz's original code, hence the joint copyright, but he did most the hard work of figuring out how to get this deep into the engine's call stack. Thanks! bill also provided a fair bit of help figuring out missing gamedata and fixing compatibility with L4D2 2147 and later. Also thanks! 2023-05-04T22:49:27+00:00 Willian Henrique wsimanbrazil@yahoo.com.br 2022-11-16T00:19:47+00:00 urn:sha1:245f63c4a58b36dc46731758063c03aba2d3ec06 Adds tags for L4D2 2147 and Portal 3420. Committer's note: really the gamedata system might benefit from improvement in the future to support things like numerical ranges, but this will do for now. 2023-05-04T22:49:27+00:00 Hayden K imaciidz@gmail.com 2023-04-01T04:03:27+00:00 urn:sha1:ab485b730f6407c668fc26e5e9c665d03650960a
