docs/admin_network.md promised that information in an admin packet
is never removed. It does allow the possibility of using a new packet type
for changed data in combination with a bump of the admin port version.
As the recent command handling changes modified the contents of
ADMIN_PACKET_SERVER_CMD_LOGGING, do exactly that.
If the arguments of the callback proc don't match with the command parameters,
we can't do the proper command execution anyway. As such, don't even generate
an unpack function in the first place, saving a bit of unnecessary code bloat.
Validate on receive that the cmd/callback combination is supported, rejecting
clients that try to send invalid values.
The data will be transmitted as the length followed by the serialized data. This allows the command
data to be different for every command type in the future.
A race condition happens when an IPv6 connection takes more than
250ms to report an error, but does return before the IPv4 connection
is established.
In result, an invalid socket might be used for that connection.
This gives user visual feedback that the refresh is still pending, and
prevents people from clicking again and again thinking nothing is
happening. This is especially true for connections that fall back to
TURN, as that takes a few seconds to kick in.
Additionally, prevent clicking on the button again while a refresh
is pending. This is only delaying a successful result.
The function clears all stun-handlers. This causes all of those
objects to be destroyed.
A handler can have a pending connecter, which was only killed in
case CloseConnection() was called. This is never the case when
the object is destroyed. In result, the connecter could finish
and cause a use-after-free by calling into the (now deleted)
handler.
When you are query several servers at once, it is rather unclear
for which server you got a popup. Instead, show any errors on the
server itself.
This is only true for the query-part. Joining a server still gives
an error popup to tell you about any issue.
You can now still query a full server, as long as the maximum
amount of allowed connections isn't reached. This means that as
long as there are not 255 clients connected to a server, you can
always connect to query.
Old servers don't tell the GameScript they are running, so nothing
should be shown.
All values in NetworkGameInfo initialize as 0/empty, except for GS
version. Someone has to be different from the rest, I guess.
Nobody really paid attention to the lobby window, and it completely
missed its purpose. Most people don't even wait for companies to
show up, but just hit "New Company".
This in turn means people create a lot of unneeded companies, while
they "just want to watch the game" or join another company.
Instead, "Join Game" now just joins the game as spectators.
Soon we will make "join game" join the game as spectator first,
so limiting the amount of spectators makes no sense anymore in
that context. Not sure it ever did make sense.
"my_client" wasn't always free'd when a game ended. "my_client"
keeps a reference inside the PT_NCLIENT pool. The rest of the
code assumes that when you are not in a game, it can freely
reset this pool.
In result: several ways to trigger a use-after-free.
