Source Speedrun Tools: practice tools and handy features for Source Engine games https://git.woz.blue/mike/sst/atom?h=v0.5-BETA 2023-06-03T12:25:12+00:00 2023-06-03T12:25:12+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-06-02T16:03:47+00:00 urn:sha1:602a18977d500ad068fd63fbedcafb630c29ee72 This is kind of a breaking change but the other code was obviously never released or relied on by anyone - it will be pushed at the same time as this in fact. It still seems worth having the original committed separately to show the progression of development of the feature, however. Technically the standalone vote cooldown resetting could also be added back if ever desired however there doesn't seem to be that much of a use case for that at the moment. This feature ought to be a lot more convenient now as it allows for resetting back to a set starting point no matter where the player is in a run. It isn't universally useful as All Campaigns Legacy solo runs require switching to a different type of server and Main Campaigns co-op runs require restarting the game after Swamp Fever to work around the god mode bug, however it is still useful in a good few situations. Unfortunately this turned out to be pretty complex to implement, first requiring a bunch of interop with valve's rather wacky KeyValues stuff, and then requiring a bunch of especially difficult reverse engineering of L4D1 v1.0.0.5 because it doesn't use said KeyValues stuff and does something else completely different instead. A side effect of all this work is that the nag removal hack is now part of the KeyValues stuff in kvsys.c, which is kind of a comfier place for it than just kind of dumped in the middle of sst.c. 2023-05-21T21:11:16+00:00 Willian Henrique wsimanbrazil@yahoo.com.br 2023-05-08T21:38:48+00:00 urn:sha1:c2bb37238d02e1634242607a9079c5033138ced7 In most versions of L4D2, players cannot call a vote (e.g. switch campaign, change difficulty, restart campaign) more than once every 3 minutes. This makes resetting on a first map a pain, usually requiring reloading the map to reset the vote state. This new sst_l4d_vote_cooldown_reset command empties the list of structures tracking vote callers, allowing all players to vote again immediately. This should make resetting runs a lot easier on versions without unlimited votes. 2023-05-04T23:06:17+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2023-05-04T23:04:43+00:00 urn:sha1:3ff6d47277fc0e39053584d8889240cab446a72a This is a surprise tool that will help us later! 2023-01-15T15:17:51+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-12-26T14:29:53+00:00 urn:sha1:a4afb6714f67c029310c0853ff47fdef354e2e72 Thanks Bill for figuring out what the problem was. 2022-12-25T11:03:50+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-12-25T11:03:50+00:00 urn:sha1:9a09c605402e6ff74f93f7fe7afc50ccc785acc3 2022-07-23T18:07:03+00:00 Willian Henrique wsimanbrazil@yahoo.com.br 2022-07-16T17:08:23+00:00 urn:sha1:b53b780e1b14e174204457765b4a0a72b6d2924f Committer's note: this is somewhat adapted from Bill's original code, written a while back, but he gets full credit for actually doing the hard part. 2022-05-19T11:57:55+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-05-19T11:51:06+00:00 urn:sha1:c83de76ad2f59927cf01bcfbae18a5d598159bb7 2022-05-19T11:54:33+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-05-16T21:15:53+00:00 urn:sha1:fb9720610488c2d8da1bd77739b01d8275735b49 People want to be able to write a scheduled-release passphrase to demos to prove that said demos were recorded during a timeboxed event. Ideally this is something that'd be part of the custom demo data and general RTA run management stuff that's planned, but of course that doesn't exist yet. When it does exist, we'd probably want rid of this nonsense, so it's marked hidden and I don't plan to document it anywhere "official." It's just here for people who really need it in the short term. 2022-05-15T22:05:41+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-05-15T22:05:41+00:00 urn:sha1:9009f75bf5fd33e13abae5762d31968b39f233c3 I still haven't bothered to flesh out all the possible indices for GetEngineBuildNumber but we're back to being able to use it to detect The Last Stand (as a result of some old version testing Aciidz did - thanks again!). This means we can do away with the terrible map file- based hotfix. Also, turns out sst_l4d_testwarp doesn't work if the plugin gets loaded early via VDF because certain SendTable offsets start out negated, so we work around that too now. 2022-05-13T15:01:38+00:00 Michael Smith mikesmiffy128@gmail.com 2022-05-13T15:01:38+00:00 urn:sha1:831862bec84dde31a0568ec8a2f2b0170e18a973
