Fixes bit array serialization. This may cause objects that were serialized by bit array to fail to deserialize. I am sorry, please accept my condolences. It is probably easiest to just delete those objects. If it becomes a major problem, contact me and I'll help with a hacky per-case solution.
* Adds a custom BitArray class with the following added features:
* ctor for creating BitArray against read only span
* ctor for creating BitArray against BinaryReader
* CopyTo to copy a BitArray to a Span
* Adds BitArray to UO Primitive serialization so it can be codegenned.
* Makes EnsureDirectory properly work for relative and absolute paths
* Adds a `PathUtility.GetFullPath` which returns full paths for relative paths to `Core.BaseDirectory`. If the path is absolute, it will return as-is.
* Moves EnsureDirectory to `PathUtility`. So `ScriptsHandler.EnsureDirectory` and `AssemblyHandler.EnsureDirectory` are now `PathUtility.EnsureDirectory`
* Fixes crash guard so that it copies accounts properly.
* Changes world save and auto archive to use a random folder name inside of the temp folder.
* Adds `BeforeSerialized` for entities to handle cleanup.
* Adds `Created` and `LastSerialized` fields to all entities. While this is a big bloat, this will be necessary for identifying dangling references to other invalid entities.
* Changes formula for determining a valid reference to be _not null, not deleted, and reference's created date must be at or before the entities last serialized date_.
* Adds versioning to idx file and serializes `Created` and `LastSerialized`.
* Fixes Save Stats and also disables it by default.
* Adds save flag support (see `ElvenGlasses` for an example)
* Updates AOSAttributes so they are code genned
* Fixes embedded object support by adding an `IRawSerializable`
* Fixes various inconsistencies in serializing with codegen
* Adds code genning for embedded objects. See `AquariumState` as an example.
* Adds code genning for fields that are `Timer`. See `Aquarium` as an example.
* Codegens aquariums
* Fixes missing option for most primitive field types.
* Fixes pooled timer leaking
* Fixes `[dumptimers` command so it outputs properly, adds spacing, and stacktraces
* Adds `[Tidy]` for serializing Lists. This will remove deleted entities during world save before serializing the list.
* Adds helpers for managing Lists/Sets/Dictionaries
### New API
```cs
// Creates the list if it is null, then adds
Utility.Add(ref list, value);
Utility.Add(ref set, value);
Utility.Add(ref dict, key, value);
// Nulls the variable if the count is zero
Utility.Remove(ref list, value);
Utility.Remove(ref set, value);
Utility.Remove(ref dict, key);
// Marks entity as dirty in addition to doing the action
entity.Add(list, value);
// Marks entity as dirty, and will create list if it doesn't exist
entity.Add(ref list, value);
// Marks entity as dirty in addition to doing the action
entity.Remove(list, value);
// Marks entity as dirty, and will null the list count is zero
entity.Remove(ref list, value);
```
### Updates to [dumptimers

- [X] Fixes bad `ReadEnum` by size
- [X] Fixes array, list, and set not handling null values properly.
- It will be up to the user (for now) to null out empty lists using `[AfterDeserialization]`. Convenience may be added later.
- [X] Fixes errors with `dotnet clean` and non-empty generation folder
- [X] Fixes bad field indexes on `Account.cs` causing `tags` to not be serialized/deserialized.
- This was caused by a duplicate entry. Don't have protection against this _yet_.
- [X] Fixes TimeSpan not working with codegen
- [X] Fixes bad check for generic classes with a serialize method and deserialize ctor
- [X] Moves Accounts to codegen so it is versioned
- [X] Fixes deserialization of old Accounts with no version variable.
- [X] Fixes deserialize seek not doing anything. 🙈
- [X] Adds Email to serialization
- Adds `[ManualDirtyChecking]` for anyone that adds it themselves.
- Adds detection of `[Serializable]` and `[ManualDirtyChecking]` at startup to help identify scripts that need migration.
### Additions
- Automatically opts-out `Item/Mobile/Guild/Accounts` from dirty checking with a new property `UseDirtyChecking`
- Codegen now enables `UseDirtyChecking` via getter. This requires that the property is `virtual` for derived types.
### Fixes
- Fixes `EncodedInt` being broken
- Fixes issues with new custom serializable types that are not derived from Item/Mobile/etc.
- Removes double dirty checking.
### Example of a brand new serializable type that isn't an Item/Mobile/etc.
User created code:
```cs
using System;
namespace Server.Items
{
[Serializable(0)]
public partial class NewTestEntityObject : ISerializable
{
[EncodedInt]
[SerializableField(0)]
private int _someProperty;
public NewTestEntityObject()
{
SetTypeRef(GetType());
// Add to serial tracking like World.Item
/*
Serial = World.NewEntity;
World.AddEntity(this);
*/
}
[AfterDeserialization]
private void AfterDeserialization()
{
Console.WriteLine("This ran!");
}
public int TypeRef { get; }
public Serial Serial { get; }
public void Delete()
{
}
public bool Deleted { get; set; }
public void SetTypeRef(Type type)
{
// Type tracking for persistence goes here
/*
TypeRef = World.NewEntityTypes.IndexOf(type);
if (TypeRef == -1)
{
World.NewEntityTypes.Add(type);
TypeRef = World.NewEntityTypes.Count - 1;
}
*/
}
}
}
```
Generated code:
```cs
namespace Server.Items
{
public partial class NewTestEntityObject
{
#pragma warning disable 0414
private const int _version = 0;
#pragma warning restore 0414
public int SomeProperty
{
get => _someProperty;
set
{
if (value != _someProperty)
{
_someProperty = value;
((ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
}
}
}
long ISerializable.SavePosition { get; set; } = -1;
BufferWriter ISerializable.SaveBuffer { get; set; }
bool ISerializable.UseDirtyChecking => true;
public NewTestEntityObject(Serial serial)
{
Serial = serial;
SetTypeRef(typeof(NewTestEntityObject));
}
public void Serialize(IGenericWriter writer)
{
writer.WriteEncodedInt(_version);
writer.WriteEncodedInt(SomeProperty);
}
public void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
SomeProperty = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
Timer.DelayCall(AfterDeserialization);
}
}
}
```
- [X] Fixes an issue with ordering of properties in serialization.
- [X] Adds opt-in with existing properties.
Example:
```cs
private int _myExistingField;
[SerializableField(1)]
public int MyExistingProperty
{
get => _myExistingField;
set
{
if (value == 0)
{
Parent = null;
}
if (value != _myExistingField)
{
((ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
_myExistingField = value;
}
}
}
```
Added the ability to execute arbitrary code after deserialization.
Example, let's say you want to delete an item after you deserialize it:
```cs
[AfterDeserialization]
private void OnAfterDeserialization()
{
Delete();
}
```
Generates this:
```cs
public override void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
base.Deserialize(reader);
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
Timer.DelayCall(OnAfterDeserialization);
}
```
- [X] Adds Enum migration rule
- [X] Adds legacy version (writing full int for version field)
- [X] Adds encoded int attribute
- [X] Adds intern string attribute
- [X] Fixes missing base deserialize/serialize
### Features
* Fully abstracts serialization by using compile-time attributes.
* Supports serializing the following:
- Primitives (integers, strings, etc)
- IP Addresses
- BigDecimal
- DateTime, Delta DateTimes
- TimeSpan
- Server.Race
- Server.Map
- Point2D, Point3D, Rect2D, Rect3D
- Existing/New `ISerializable` references
- Lists/Sets of serializable types
- Type with a `Serialize` method and constructor that takes an `IGenericReader`
* Supports forward-only migration
* Supports existing RunUO deserialization for older versions by changing to the following signature:
- `public void OldDeserialize(IGenericReader reader, int version)`
- Must remove deserializing the version since this is already done
* Supports serializing from private fields or custom made properties.
* Types do not require inheriting Item/Mobile. Code gen will fully create `ISerializable` information.
- This is not recommended yet, since it requires wiring to `Persistence` which will cause lots of unresolved symbol errors until code gen is built.
### Example
```cs
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace Server.Items
{
[Serializable(1)]
public partial class TestItem1 : Item
{
[SerializableField(1)]
[SerializableFieldAttr("[CommandProperty(AccessLevel.Administrator)]")]
private List<Item> _someProperty;
private void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader, int version)
{
}
}
}
```
Generates this:
```cs
namespace Server.Items
{
public partial class TestItem1
{
#pragma warning disable 0414
private const int _version = 1;
#pragma warning restore 0414
[CommandProperty(AccessLevel.Administrator)]
public System.Collections.Generic.List<Server.Item> SomeProperty
{
get => _someProperty;
set
{
if (value != _someProperty)
{
((ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
_someProperty = value;
}
}
}
public TestItem1(Serial serial) : base(serial)
{
}
public override void Serialize(IGenericWriter writer)
{
var savePosition = ((Server.ISerializable)this).SavePosition;
if (savePosition > -1)
{
writer.Seek(savePosition, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
return;
}
writer.WriteEncodedInt(_version);
writer.Write(_someProperty);
}
public override void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
if (version < 1)
{
OldDeserialize(reader, version);
((Server.ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
return;
}
SomeProperty = reader.ReadEntityList<Server.Item>();
}
}
}
```
And this:
```json
{
"version": 1,
"type": "TestItem1",
"properties": [
{
"name": "SomeProperty",
"type": "System.Collections.Generic.List\u003CServer.Item\u003E",
"rule": "ListMigrationRule",
"ruleArguments": [
"Server.Item",
"SerializableInterfaceMigrationRule"
]
}
]
}
```
- [X] Adds `AdhocPersistence` which replaces RunUO `Persistence`
- [X] Fixes a few minor bugs with EntityPersistence deserialization
- [X] Reverts/updates some serialization changes
- [X] Caches DateTime.NowUtc on the game loop (not other threads)
- [X] Replaces all locations where it makes sense
- [X] Adds Min/Max for `IComparable` (TimeSpan, DateTimes, etc)
Closes#261
- [X] Fixes generic persistence, making the API for writing from a static class much easier.
Example:
```cs
namespace Server
{
public static class ExampleSystem
{
public static void Configure()
{
GenericPersistence.Register("ExampleSystem", Serialize, Deserialize);
}
public static void Serialize(IGenericWriter writer)
{
// Do serialization here
writer.WriteEncodedInt(0); // version
}
public static void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
// Do deserialization here
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
}
}
}
```
- [X] Fixes map issues at New Haven by turning off static diffs
- [X] Some code cleanup and reformatting of tile matrix, tile matrix patch, and tile data
- [X] Adds NetState.Flush for generating spawners so it doesn't feel like the server is frozen
- [X] Reverts NativeReader changes from a while back.
- [X] Adds more string reading for BufferReader.
Notes:
BufferReader is still `little endian` compared to `SpanReader` which is `big endian` (for packets). To that end, the RunUO deserialization `ReadString()` was made obsolete since it is ambiguous, and contains extra fields other than simply reading a string. Furthermore, we shouldn't be using UTF8 (for now) since it is slow.
- [X] Fixes an issue in BufferWriter where if SeekOrigin.End is used, it will yield the wrong index.
- [X] Changes BinaryFileWriter to dispose pattern
- [X] Removes World.SaveBuffers. They were dangerous and should be done in-line while the world is loading, even if it is slower
- [X] Fixes BufferReader Seek too
- [X] Changes BufferWriter to use uninitialized arrays to speed up resizing
- [X] Changes World loading so it doesn't buffer the whole file, even if it makes things slower. It lowers allocations/fragmentation over all which is good.
- [X] Changes World Loading to use uninitialized arrays and directly saves them to the SaveBuffer which eliminates having to open/load the files _again_ which is dangerous. Also looping through items while the world is running is dangerous since async references can and will cause exceptions.
Bumps release version
- [X] Fixes an issue where a buffer smaller than 8 bytes would not double with enough space in some cases.
- [X] Fixes an issue with dupe copying the savebuffer reference (ugh).
- [X] Streamlines the IGenericWriter API to use better generics.
- [X] Streamlines the IGenericReader API to use better generics.
- [X] Forces `tidying` of a List/HashSet to be done externally since Writers/Readers should not have side effects.
- [X] Fixes an issue where Tidying a list didn't TrimExcess, causing memory leaks.
- [X] Reverted the meaning of `World.Running` to specifically refer to any world state post world loading.
- NOTE: Do not use this if you want to block on world saves. Instead use checks against `WorldState.Saving` states.
- [X] Fixes an issue with serializing negative DateTime deltas.
- [X] Fixes a potential issue with serializing non-UTC DateTime.
Bumps release version
- [X] Removes some string allocations (e.g. split)
- [X] Optimizes some collections
- [X] Converts insensitive to extension methods of built-ins.
- [X] Adds ordinal (case sensitive) string helpers
- [X] Fixes conditionals for in-game commands so they use Ordinal comparisons.
- [X] Replaces ToLower.Contains with InsensitiveContains
- [X] Adds ValueStringBuilder
- [X] Implements ValueStringBuilder in a few places where it makes sense
- [X] Removes the redundant Wrap function and replaces it with an optimized version
- [X] Fixes list conversions in Utility
Closes#351
Bumps release version
## Breaking Change
* IP Matching no longer supports `?` (e.g. you cannot do: "192.16?.0.1")
* IP Matching no longer supports `*` and other values in the same section (e.g. you cannot do "192.1\*.0.1")
* To do "192.1\*.0.1", you should use the range option with three separate entries: "192.100-199.0.1", "192.1.0.1", "192.10-19.0.1"
## Non-Breaking Changes
- [X] Adds IPv6 support (not for servers though, just clients)
- [X] Adds interning support for IPv4 mapped to IPv6
- [X] Updates IPv4ToAddress (don't use this unless you know it is IPv4 or IPv4 mapped to IPv6)
## Note:
UO Does not support IPv6 for the server. To support an IPv6 server IP you will need to use CUO or some kind of custom client and probably modify it accordingly.
