Normally, SI is polled at a rate defined by the game, and we have to send the pad state to other clients on every poll or else we'll desync. This can result in fairly high bandwidth usage, especially with multiple controllers, mostly due to UDP/IP overhead.
This change introduces an option to reduce the SI poll rate to once per frame, which may introduce up to one frame of additional latency, but will reduce bandwidth usage substantially, which is useful for users on very slow internet connections.
Polling SI less frequently than the game asked for did not seem to cause any problems in my testing, so this should be perfectly safe to do.
Makes the enum values strongly-typed and prevents the identifiers from
polluting the PowerPC namespace. This also cleans up the parameters of
some functions where we were accepting an ambiguous int type and
expecting the correct values to be passed in.
Now those parameters accept a PowerPC::CPUCore type only, making it
immediately obvious which values should be passed in. It also turns out
we were storing these core types into other structures as plain ints,
which have also been corrected.
As this type is used directly with the configuration code, we need to
provide our own overloaded insertion (<<) and extraction (>>) operators
in order to make it compatible with it. These are fairly trivial to
implement, so there's no issue here.
A minor adjustment to TryParse() was required, as our generic function
was doing the following:
N tmp = 0;
which is problematic, as custom types may not be able to have that
assignment performed (e.g. strongly-typed enums), so we change this to:
N tmp;
which is sufficient, as the value is attempted to be initialized
immediately under that statement.
Ideally Common.h wouldn't be a header in the Common library, and instead be renamed to something else, like PlatformCompatibility.h or something, but even then, there's still some things in the header that don't really fall under that label
This moves the version strings out to their own version header that doesn't dump a bunch of other unrelated things into scope, like what Common.h was doing.
This also places them into the Common namespace, as opposed to letting them sit in the global namespace.
* Focus "Hash Code" / "IP address" text box by default in "Connect"
* Focus game list in "Host" tab
* RETURN keypress now host/join depending on selected tab
* Remember last hosted game
* Remove PanicAlertT:
* Simply log message to netplay window
* Remove them when they are useless
* Show some netplay message in OSD
* Chat messages
* Pad buffer changes
* Desync alerts
* Stop the game consistently when another player disconnects / crashes
* Prettify chat textbox
* Log netplay ping to OSD
Join scenario:
* Copy netplay code
* Open netplay
* Paste code
* Press enter
Host scenario:
* Open netplay
* Go to host tab
* Press enter
UPNP_AddPortMapping needs our IP address, however enet_address_get_host
will return 0.0.0.0 or a host name in most cases.
This gets our IP address from the socket to the IGD.
miniupnp commit c4991916e5c12a7754e935e71a5313e75af6aeb9 introduced a
4th statusCode parameter to miniwget function. This parameter is set
to a value returned by the UPnP device. We have to check if it's set
to 200 to make sure the result is a success. Also, we now have to check
if descXML is set in the error case and free it.
if a pad or wiimote number was outside bounds (e.g. 42353543232),
it would still have been read from the array, which could lead to
inappropriate consequences, like a segfault.
So that it contains the current commit and not an arbitrary date that
may or may not be up-to-date. This will cause tears as people will not
be able to use netplay with one diverging commit that does not touch
anything related. On the other hand, users can’t be trusted.
miniupnpc.h provides MINIUPNPC_API_VERSION since 1.7 and we require 1.7
or later, so there is no reason to have version detection code for older
versions.
