- Paging

Added Functions that raise flags return the unique flag Id

Added layer between vehicle problem detection and flag raising that will smooth flag usage, e.g. eliminate bad situations like withdrawing the flag half a second after it's being raised, or repeatedly raising and withdrawing the flag if the vehicle oscillates around the threshold of having a problem

Added first (simple) detection of slow vehicles for yellow flags

Hooked up detection of conditions leading to flags

Green flag is raised for a while upon race start

[VELOCIPEDE]

Build 289 (29/8/12, Manager+)

Online support session:

* Improved management of the session admin member for host migration

* When session admin is changed on host migration, the new admin will no longer automatically send game setup to all members. Instead, the members will query the setup from the new admin once they learn about the admin change. This prevents a problem that setup messages from a new admin would sometimes reach session members before they learned about the admin change, resulting in the messages being ignored

* API to set player's setup (e.g. vehicle) to be used in the session no longer modifies the setup directly; instead, the change request is sent to the session admin, who will verify the request, and if all is OK, will send the changed data

* Added callback system to the online support session

* Added debug UI commands to change local user's vehicle

Switched to v0.11.386 of the Fanatec SDK. No longer requires admin rights to enable extended features

Base setup for Render Tasks system

Racer V8: Raised collision mesh and reduced underbody stiffness to adress flipping on striking kerbs

New viewer placeable trackside cars

Updated physics system to reset custom PhysX memory allocator stats instead of recreating whole allocator.

Corrected gaiter cockpit component naming to work with new restricted naming convention

Removed asserts in flag detection that expect waypoints to be defined. This allows the system to run (though not work) even on very early wip tracks.

Online:

* Added game and user setup parameters to OnlineSupport_Session.

* Added state variables to OnlineSupport_Session, remembering DS and session connection state and a few similar pieces of information, and simpler handlers of joined/left server, joined/left session, user joined/changed/left.

* Added events used for synchronization of game setup and user setup for a particular session.

* Added synchronization of game setup and user setup in session as users join the session.

* Added API for changing the game and user setup, including triggering resynchronization when something is changed.

* Added g_OnlineSession macro, allowing direct access to the session component of online support. Removed most debugging session proxy functions in online support, replaced the calls to use g_OnlineSession directly.

* Online Support session remembers user id and name for each session member.

* Added Online Support API for server enumeration, joining, leaving.

* Added Online Support API for game session enumeration, joining, creating, leaving.

* Debug menu can join any session by index, not just the first.

[VELOCIPEDE]

Build 291 (31/8/12, Team Member+)

Added support for save/load of attached camera state

Online session:

* After session join and after host migration, each member will periodically ask the session admin for session setup, if it's not received automatically. The setup message can be lost under certain timing scenarios

* Implemented very basic validation of game setup to at least force an existing track and vehicle (for now)

Added getters to track and vehicle list to return an id of a random track or vehicle

Online sessions:

* Added a new MP log file to app's online support

* Changed debug output from DBG_Printf to use the new log in all the session implementation

* Fixed participant priority values when sending lobby events to a subset of the event members

* Race setup changes can only be made in the lobby, not later.

* On host migration in the lobby, the new admin will send setup to all members, and all members will query the setup from new admin, when they learn about the migration. Until now, each member was asking periodically until they received the reply. The two-stage operation is enough

* Admin remembers load state of each session member

* Added definitions of events to report game load state from clients to admin, to initiate load, to sync authoritative game setup from admin to all members

* Changed online interface so that functions that send events do not modify the events

* Added a hack to BAppEventQueue::_AddEventObject that will make events return correct size of extra data until the network event transmission is fully rewritten

* Added more getters to BAppEvent that return the event's internal fields to make the above hack possible

* Changed debug outpuf of certain state information to print textual name of the state instead of numeric value

* Lobby setup request message has new parameters that specify that the sender wishes to receive. (Until now the only option was everything.)

* Admin will auto-assign user setup for newly joined users that will be used before the new member will send their requests. This will ensure that an admin always has full valid setup

* Improved the protocol for distributing setup of a user that joins a session in the lobby. There were a few situations where the user's setup would not reach the admin and/or some members, these now work properly.

* User setup validated by admin will overwrite my local preferred setup, if it was changed during validation

* Race load syncing up to transition to data loading (work in progress)

* Renamed some events so that all event names follow the same naming convention

* If host migration happens at any point during load sequence, the new admin will request state update from all members and all members will send the update to the new admin

* Debug menu commands to join or create a session will not assert when not joined to a server, instead they will print an error.

* Online sessions initialize campaign interface, scripts on longer crash

* Improved asserts for checking expected game state for callbacks handling local user joining and leaving

* Information about the current session is kept up to date in the online support system; this information is available to UI via a new API

* Livery validation in the lobby is now implemented. If any member requests a "don't care" livery, the admin will choose one, so that all members see the same livery

* Fixed syncpoint manager crashing when joining another session in the same process. When leaving a session, the syncpoint manager will clean up

* Fixed assignments to NodeRefIds in syncpoint manager

New Monterey export

Build 300 (13/9/12, Senior manager)

Online session:

* Before starting data load, all clients fill GameSetup class with the final setup data send by the session admin

* Extended final setup data to contain more information needed to setup the GameSetup race details

* Race load is now triggered after the final setup is distributed among all members

* Local non-authoritative validation of user setup does not check for the structure valid flags; this allows the validation to work even if the data hasn't yet been validated by the admin

* Added persistent history of received chat messages, which is also used to check for duplicate chat packets

* Fixed incorrect asserts received when handling notification about the local user leaving the session while loading

Profile:

* Replaced all RTTI functionality with BStorage (migration and fix-up of CL 243030)

ControllerSettings now uses index-mapped arrays for storage of deadzone and sensitivity settings

Cleanup in GameSetup:

* Moved some type declarations from inside setup-related classes to a namesace scope in a separate header. This allows the enums to be used in other headers

* Removed some no longer used functions

* Split monolithic SetupRaceDetails to several functions

Memphis - placed sitting 2d crowds

Memphis - added LOD distances definition for crowds

Monterey - add new textures for motherbridge

Experimental condtion added to wtc in slot clear5. brighter ambient, more colourful shadows, brighter reflections. White cars look more white at dawn and dusk as a result and in day cars have more of a blue sheen. emissives, headlights and other night specific lighting will look blown out because of increased exposure at this time

New icons for Time Trial screens and visual improvement

New BMW M1 export

New Pagani Huayra export

Build 299 (12/9/12, Senior Manager)

Removed eManagerUseMicroDelta flag from Physics Tick to disable the experimental microsec code

Online session:

* Changed state sync from non-admins in host migration during load to happen after required state changes. This prevents the new admin from receiving some admin status updates from a client who was admin before the migration, but was demoted

* Admin now generates participant setup before sending the sync message, and the participant data is included in the sync

* Logging of host migration during load now prints state changes as part of the message

* Support for each client configures local race and participant setup when everyone is ready for load, and then kicks off data loading. The implementation is fake for now, no configuration takes place yet

* Changed names of some member variables of OnlineSession_Support to achieve a consistent naming convention

* Simplified online session API for retrieving lobby setup

* Extended event API extra data manipulation to allow copying the data in smaller chunks

* Updated the Online API to allow the definition of "online request to server" be a platform-specific type

Fixed layer handling on events screen

Time trial screens update - added registration methods for elements for visiblity and enabling/disabling. Quick fixed server spamming, may need further UI changes to reduce server overloading

Added missing call to FixupSlotName() in CarSetupSlot::Read()

Fixes for small job SPU setup, also fixes optimisation settings for all configs

Improved handling of expected and unexpected disconnects. Leaving DS intentionally or signing off/disconnecting will now properly clean up session information and send "session left" + "session gone" notifications to app

New time trial , ghost leaderboard and ghost local storage screens.

Some minor UI data changes still needed to deal with disabled menu item states, and some unavailable data

Northampton - add new textures for SF gantry

Changes to Ghost Leaderboard screen to allow clicking on tabs, Use Best In Session now has applink

Known Issues:

* Ghost name and time are set to 'NA' on return from a race in the time trial screen, though the vehicle name remains.

* Ghost screens in 'Events' are not yet available (should be disabled). A slightly different solution has been proposed.

* Paging does not work on the 'my records' tab - though I've had trouble getting enough records on there anyway, it still needs to be fixed.

* Local storage entries do not currently show the user name for non-local users; requires a server call to retrieve user data for other userIds. This doesn't happen much currently and will be looked into later.

Build 306 (21/9/12, Team Member+)

Time sync WIP:

* Changed the PC datagram protocol so that the game can now reliably distinguish rebroadcast incoming packets from peer-to-peer packets

* Added time sync online API

* Added time sync message types, hooked time sync singleton from core message handling

* Implemented migration handling and time sync reset calls

* Actual send/receive/process of time sync messages not implemented yet

Fix memtrace name

Memory updates for LiveEdit and Environment adding memtraces and mempools

Removed all GUI handlers from application precompiled headers. The GUI handlers were causing a lot of other headers to be included in the PCH

Online sessions:

* Waiting for time synchronziation now happens before sending the race sync message, which can thus depend on the synchronized time

* Members will start the game timer with a synchronized time in the ready-to-pre-race state. (The time synchronization is still fake.)

* Post-load sync messages contain some extra data generated by the host

* Admin will send a countdown event to everyone. This does not 100% work with host migration, but this is good enough for now, because the whole race start sequence will be changing later to support join-in-progress and multi-stage races, so the players will be entering an in-race lobby instead of the race track after load

* Countdown in MP races will use the values generated by the admin, instead of locally generated random values

OnlineSupport_SessionVariable.cpp added to Aries.vcxproj

Multiplayer Create/Lobby screens now enabled, Free Practice access now fixed

CreateMultiplayer and MultiplayerLobby screens created (disabled during implementation)

Build 305 (20/9/12, Senior manager)

Online session:

* When game state changes between lobby, loading, and race, member variables and states only meaningful in one of the states will be reset. This will later allow cycling between each state several times, e.g. loading a few races in the same session

* Before transitioning to race, clients wait until they synchronize their time with the admin. For now, there's no actual synchronization, but the code above it is in place

* Renamed functions dealing with the member variable data block to give them a common prefix

* Renamed transient load states to make it clear that they're transient states

Ghost system:

* EndMission can be called even if the mission hasn't been started yet. This scenario can happen if the game is shut down during certain stages of the race load sequence

Azure Circuit: New textures for building

Placeholder texturemap of the videoboard for the GUI scene

New Belgium Forest export

Build 304 (19/9/12, Senior Manager)

Profile:

- Removed redundant EventStats related code

Updated UID/Hash building macros to add leading zeroes to generated hash values

Implemented custom allocator for BForceEffect objects

Online session:

* When a member finishes loading of race data, they will switch to the LOADED state

* Leave and disconnect handlers are now called in a predictable manner

* Added synchronization service to the session. Each member has a few variables that will be synchronized to other members

* Added events used to exchange the synchronized data

* Fixed relative order of app and Online session log entries, so that the App "initiatiing action xxx" appears before the online system logs that it's doing "xxx"

* Changed app-side logging of session states from numeric values to human-readable strings

* Fixed a situation where load wouldn't progress after host migration if certain conditions related to message timing would be met

* Added empty placeholder files

Northampton. New textures

Artsource textures for dynamic brake markers

New Monterey Brake Marker dynamic objects (physics scene files)

Rain droplet on paintwork nmp made deeper

Paintwork droplet nmp made deeper

Common vehicle rain droplet texture edited so that mask has more stages (100 rather than 10). Process now created in after effects so it can easily be edited

Build 303 (18/9/12, Manager+)

Fixed scrolling issues in Time Trial leaderboard: Page Down now stops when the last page is reached. Page Up on the first row, or Page Down from the last row, or Go To Top when already at the top, will no longer cause a server request

Fixed crash when using 'Use Best In session' and returning to the time trial screen

Online: Leaving current game session explicitly can now specify other reason than "session left normally".

Monterey - tweak garage texture; new garage AO texture; Removed logos from texturemaps; Statics - fixed intersecting static models with new addons

Physics: Removed writing to uninit.log

First pass of multiplayer create screen. Includes MP settings and creating an MP game

Online sessions

* When creating participants in an online race, the participant will remember the RefId of the node controlling the participant

* Added event that will be used to send vehicle updates among the session members. No updates are sent or processed yet

* Added flags to session members that specify whether or not each session member is a part of the loading sequence, and of the current race

* Extended the load protocol to add a new first state, where the host communicates with the members about who will be loading into the race

* Members in the session who are not performing load will ignore load-related messages

* Added fake recipient slot IDs, addressing "all loading" or "all racing" session members. Messages directed to these fake slot IDs will be routed to the subset of members taking part in that activity

* Race Sync message now contains reference time of the point when the admin creates this message. This is be used as the base for the app time in race, to ensure the app timer values do not use the (possibly large) reference time numbers

* Hooked up time synchronization. App timer on all members is now synchronized

* Added new empty files in preparation to split OnlineSupport_Session to multiple classes
