- replace serde_derive by feature of serde
incl. source code modifications to compile
- reduce futures-timer to "2.0" to be same as async_std
- update notify
- removed mio, bincode and lz4 compress in common as networking is now in own crate
btw there is a better lz4 compress crate, which is newer than 2017
- update prometheus to 0.9
- can't update uvth yet due to usues
- hashbrown to 7.2 to only need a single version
- libsqlite3 update
- image didn't change as there is a problem with `image 0.23`
- switch old directories with newer directories-next
- no num upgrade as we still depend on num 0.2 anyways
- rodio and cpal upgrade
- const-tewaker update
- dispatch (untested) update
- git2 update
- iterations update
- swap out std::mpsc with crossbeam-channel in networking crate
- remove log spam by only logging when populating a new cache entry and not on every get
this is the part which prob has less Merge conflics and is easy to rebase
the next commit will have prob alot of merge conflics
followed by a fmt commit
- Completely removed both `log` and `pretty_env_logger` and replaced
with `tracing` and `tracing_subscriber` where necessary.
- Converted all `log::info!(...)` et al. statements to just use the
shorthand macro i.e. `info!`. This was mostly to make renaming easier.
There are several noteable changes in this commit that mean that logging
will behave differently to how it did previously.
- There are now no separate filter levels for terminal and file output.
This is a feature that is lacking in `tracing` but is set to be resolved
by https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/pull/508. At which point we MAY
include it.
- The default log level was previously `WARN` - it is now `INFO`.
- authc no longer uses reqwest
- image only supports PNG
- replace routille with tiny_http
- several other dependencies
- cargo upgrade
- following improvement was measured on R7 1700X:
before:
- cargo build: 3076.73s user / 4:45 total / 589 dependencies
- cargo test: 6118.38s user / 7:30 total / 959 dependencies
after:
- cargo build: 2680.54s user / 4:05 total / 480 dependencies
- cargo test: 5351.81s user / 7:04 total / 791 dependencies
- added xMAC94x to CODEOWNERS for Cargo.toml, he will protect them from now on and hit people with evil looks ;)
- removing async_serde as it seems to be not usefull
the idea was because deserialising is slow parallising it could speed up.
Whoever we need to keep the order of frames, (at least for controlframes) so serialising in threads would be quite complicated.
Also serialisation is quite fast, about 1 Gbit/s such speed is enough for messaging, it's more important to serve parallel streams better.
Thats why i am removing async serde coding for now
- frames are no longer serialized by serde, by byte by byte manually, increadible speed upgrade
- more metrics
- switch channel_creator into for_each_concurrent
- removing some pool.spwan_ok() as they dont allow me to use self
- reduce features needed
- switch `listen` to async in oder to verify if the bind was successful
- Introduce the following examples
- network speed
- chat
- fileshare
- add additional tests
- fix dropping stream before last messages can be handled bug, when dropping a stream, BParticipant will wait for prio to be empty before dropping the stream and sending the signal
- correct closing of stream and participant
- move tcp to protocols and create udp front and backend
- tracing and fixing a bug that is caused by not waiting for configuration after receiving a frame
- fix a bug in network-speed, but there is still a bug if trace=warn after 2.000.000 messages the server doesnt get that client has shut down and seems to lock somewhere. hard to reproduce
open tasks
[ ] verify UDP works correctly, especcially the connect!
[ ] implements UDP shutdown correctly, the one created in connect!
[ ] unify logging
[ ] fill metrics
[ ] fix dropping stream before last messages can be handled bug
[ ] add documentation
[ ] add benchmarks
[ ] remove async_serde???
[ ] add mpsc
It should compile and tests run fine now.
If not, the 2nd last squashed commit message said it currently only send frames but not incomming messages, also recv would only handle frames. The last one said i added internal messages and a reverse path (prob for .recv)
- introduce a loadtest, for tcp messages
- cleanup api
- added a unittest
- prepared a handshake message, which will in next commits get removed again
- experimental mio worker merges
- using uuid for participant id
data associated with a character, rather than individually as we were
planning to do with stats/inv/etc... This removes potential for DB locking when we deal with each individually, and we
should have plenty of room for additional writes within the transaction.
For anything in worldgen where you use a HashMap, *please* think
carefully about which hasher you are going to use! This is
especially true if (for some reason) you are depending on hashmap
iteration order remaining stable for some aspect of worldgen.

- Make the character screen load with an empty character list from the server, send event to the server for character creation with data, but not yet saving them to the DB.
- Working but messy character saving to DB
- Add the character_data to the client, rather than keep it in the GLobalState.
Horizon mapping is a method of shadow mapping specific to height maps.
It can handle any angle between 0 and 90 degrees from the ground, as
long as know the horizontal direction in advance, by remembering only a
single angle (the "horizon angle" of the shadow map). More is explained
in common/src/msg/server.rs. We also remember the approximate height of
the largest occluder, to try to be able to generate soft shadows and
create a vertical position where the shadows can't go higher.
Additionally, map generation has been reworked. Instead of computing
everything from explicit samples, we pass in sampling functions that
return exactly what the map generator needs. This allows us to cleanly
separate the way we sample things like altitudes and colors from the map
generation process. We exploit this to generate maps *partially* on the
server (with colors and rivers, but not shading). We can then send the
partially completed map to the client, which can combine it with shadow
information to generate the final map. This is useful for two reasons:
first, it makes sure the client can apply shadow information by itself,
and second, it lets us pass the unshaded map for use with level of
detail functionality.
For similar reasons, river generation is split
out into its own layer, but for now we opt to still generate rivers on
the server (since the river wire format is more complicated to compress
and may require some extra work to make sure we have enough precision to
draw rivers well enough for LoD).
Finally, the mostly ad-hoc lighting we were performing has been (mostly)
replaced with explicit Phong reflection shading (including specular
highlights). Regularizing this seems useful and helps clarify the
"meaning" of the various light intensities, and helps us keep a more
physically plausible basis. However, its interaction with soft shadows
is still imperfect, and it's not yet clear to me what we need to do to
turn this into something useful for LoD.
