Options are defined schema that the redistributable will allow a game to customize / override. This will be useful for install scripts on a redistributable. It opens up the opportunity to define a redistributable for something such as dgVoodoo and override options on a per-game basis without having to edit the config manually in the game's scripts.
Switched the library importing in the launcher to work based on a queue. As a new game is added to the queue, it should find any related data and also add it to the queue. This should result in an easier to maintain importer while reducing the load on the launcher's DAL. This may result in more RAM usage while importing. Local manifests have also been refactored to match manifests in import/export LCX files, removing the old manifest format. This is a large breaking change that will probably break existing game installations. A migration will probably have to be created.
- API requests are now made through the ApiRequestBuilder with DI supplied via the ApiRequestFactory singleton
- Reliance on RestSharp and WebClient has been removed in favor of HttpClient
- Auth token is now being tracked by the ITokenProvider
- Network information (MAC address, broadcast addresses, IP address) is now supplied with the INetworkInformationProvider singleton
- Connection state is now being maintained by the ConnectionService, with a reliance on RPC (SignalR websocket) reporting actual connection state without relying on pings
- All download streams are now provided as a TrackableStream
- Singleton Client class has been removed. All usage of the SDK should happen via Dependency Injection
This is just a base, non-functional refactor of the SDK to use DI. The following changes to the rest of the codebase need to be made:
- Usage of the SDK client in the launcher needs to be replaced in favor of injecting SDK services
- PowerShell cmdlets need to be able to have services injected. Most likely a separate scope will have to be opened up per PS runtime?
- Usage of the SDK client in the server needs to be replaced in favor of injecting SDK services. This should be minimal and should actually provide benefit when it comes to executing client-like features (scripts mostly) without needing a fully configured client that maintains connection state.
- Configuration of the client needs to be implemented using ILANCommanderConfiguration
- Install now extracts the redistributable archive to the game's `.lancommander` directory, under a directory matching the redist's ID
- Scripts are downloaded and saved to the same location
- BeforeStart, AfterStop, and NameChange scripts are now available for redistributables
- Change manifest reading/writing to use async
This does a very basic job of bundling a PowerShell runtime into the SDK. Previously, scripts had been run by spawning a separate PowerShell process and feeding the script into it. This was nothing better than a hack and meant that PowerShell had to be separately installed on the machine it's executing on. This should open up the opportunity for scripts to run on other platforms.
There's still some things that need to be figured out. Some sort of console output as well as a debugging mode would be highly beneficial for those that wish to actively develop scripts for their games.
