- Each packet has a version field.
- Clients connecting to the netpuncher always send a request packet.
This allows the netpuncher to react differently depending on the
client's version.
- Encode packets as binary instead of ASCII. This allows adding fields
while maintaining compatibility.
A follow-up on a previous PR GH-41. The discussion in the forum can be
viewed at http://forum.openclonk.org/topic_show.pl?pid=33086.
Run clang-tidy (without auto, pass-by-value and using checks) to fix the
header files not modified in the previous PR.
Summary of the changes:
- C++11 member initialization.
- nullptr instead of 0 for pointers.
- override for functions declared virtual in base class.
- default trivial special member functions
Consolidate the include statements scattered across the code in accordance
with the comment in C4Include.h. The advantages are listed in the same
comment.
Furthermore, it follows llvm-include-order which is the logical
extrapolation of the project's style guideline wherever possible
(C4Include.h being the most-frequent exception).
Previously, the SReq packet would only be sent after receiving an
ID from the netpuncher. Instead, we can send the request as soon as the
C4NetIOUDP connection setup finishes.
With the IPv6 support, hosts now often list around 20 addresses.
However, most of these are local only and thus rarely result in a
successful connection. With the introduction of address sorting in
7d5596220 ("Sort addresses used for initial host connection",
2017-02-26), the connection succeeds with the first few addresses most
of the time.
This commit changes the initial connection process to start with only
the first four addresses. After 100 ms, it proceeds with the next four
addresses and so on. This should reduce the packet volume significantly
as the connection should be established after only one or two steps.
We may want to tweak the parameters if this turns out to make joining
slower in practise. In a "normal" setup, the first four addresses should
be the IPv6 privacy and stable addresses, and the next four addresses
should include the IPv4 addresses from masterserver and netpuncher.
100 ms are long enough to get an answer from the host and short enough
to not bother the player too much.
Computers with multiple (possibly virtual) network adapters can have
tons of link-local fe80::/64 IPv6 addresses. Connections to those hosts
would run into a timeout before getting to public addresses behind the
link-local ones.
By sorting the address list, we can prioritize public IPv6 addresses if
supported by the client, then try IPv4 before working through the swamp
of link-local addresses.
Forcing a static address does not work for IPv6 where everyone has
multiple addresses that change over time. For example, adding a new
connection would fail if the preferred privacy address changes during
a game.
As carrier-grade NATs are becoming common, many players cannot host
Clonk games at all. The simple STUN-like netpuncher from Clonk Rage
which was removed three years ago is already effective against some
DS-Lite NATs.
With some extensions, we should be able to make it work with more
restrictive NATs as well.
This reverts commit 72002cc366.
Another piece of code that hasn't been tested in ages, gone. The default
puncher address was still pointing to clonk.de, which I'm very certain
isn't providing UDP hole punching services anymore.
Instead of a bespoke hole punching implementation we should use a STUN
lib.
As discussed in http://forum.openclonk.org/topic_show.pl?tid=2917, I
have merged all copyright notices into a single file and referenced that
merged file from each source file.
For the updated source files, the timeline has been split into three
parts:
1. Pre-RWD code (before 2001)
2. RWD code (2001 through 2009)
3. OpenClonk code (2009 and later)
All pre-RWD copyright notices have been left intact, as have RWD-era
copyright notices where the file did not have a RedWolf design copyright
notice but only individual author ones. All copyright notices of the
OpenClonk era have been replaced by a single notice ranging from the
first recorded year to the current year (2013). Mape code did not get a
OpenClonk Team copyright notice because it is somewhat separate from the
main OpenClonk codebase and has only been touched by Armin Burgmeier.
The new type C4TimeMilliseconds behaves for the most part like a uint32_t but is overflow-proof in comparisons.
In some places, a 0-value (or uint_max) of the variable storing the time had the special meaning "not set yet". This has been resolved by having it as a pointer to C4TimeMilliseconds with NULL meaning that it has not been set yet.
The network used to cast GetTime() to int, but GetTime() is an unsigned long. This might cause problems if GetTime() returns big integers (see #251). To solve this, the StdSchedulerProc interface had to be extended with another function in order to eliminate the magic return value -1 of GetNextTick for "no scheduled execution".
Direct3D hasn't worked for more than a year now, and there don't seem to
be any efforts to revive it. Remove it and concentrate on better OpenGL
support.
