    • ...and more
  • Use AeroMessages as submodule instead of a binary reference
  • Use range indexer
  • Modernize code base with support from Rider auto format and clean up
  • Handling of the Steam user id. Currently, it is only held internally and not persisted.
  • Basic GitHub Action to ensure continuous integration
  • Individual .bat files for each game service pointing directly to the respective bin\debug folder.
  • Configuration for the game server. You can edit the App.config file in the GameServer project root for local settings and add working defaults in App.Default.config.
    App.config will be generated from App.Default.config if not present before build.
    Currently, the only option present is the Serilog log level.
  • CLI options parsing. Currently, the only option is the log level. Specifying wrong options will not stop the server from starting.
  • 404 handling to the web server pipeline which prints the contents of 404-producing requests as warnings to see what's missing.
  • ClientEventController with a corresponding endpoint to receive the events from the client. Currently, only the client uptime seems to be posted on exit of the game

Changed

  • Jets rendering correctly
  • Use AeroMessages for nearly all packets
  • Clean up some of the code flow, for easier understanding
  • Use long speaking names for variables
  • Started transition to AeroMessages, this is an incremental process
  • Replace SharedAssemblyInfo with a targets file
  • Update to .NET 6
  • Changed 'missing MSGid' logging to include the details (1st message) in log level warning instead of verbose
  • Update documentation regarding the usage of web hosts
  • Turn Firefall specific location finder to a common location provider

Fixed
