Reverse Engineering project for Halo Custom Edition

tempera's Issues

Support building with Clang

Remove Detours Dependency from `d3d9hook.cpp`

Remove dependency on external libs we have no control over and better ensure license compatibility.

[SAPIEN] Use Lua to poll controller inputs, pass to biped

Handle Dead zones, more

Integrate Catch2 2.x Testing Suite

https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/blob/v2.x/docs/cmake-integration.md#installing-catch2-from-git-repository

[REFACTOR] Stop using so many static functions in EngineManager and CurrentEngine

The idea is that each engine and their respective manager is supposed to provide their own custom logic, and we're supposed to use polymorphism to be able to use one engine and virtual members in order to automatically override and swap between different engine operations

Remove DXSDK JUN2010 dependency

The dependencies holding us back are: d3dx9.h and d3dx9math.h

Write IDC script so we can start on a fresh IDB without redoing all the work we already did

The 110 HCE idb is 110 MB and it really, really shouldn't be.

So we need to refresh everything and fix some symbols which were improperly imported.

Update README with WINE setup tutorial

Preferably this is an exhaustive tutorial for setting up an entire HEK modding experience.

Use bash scripts as-needed.

[SAPIEN] Control the spawned Player Biped using Lua script

All actions the player can normally perform should be lua-scriptable

Switch from CMAKE to Meson

Meson is so much simpler and easier to learn and use.

Remove all allocations in naked functions

In order to support alternative compilers, we must move away from naked functions which instantiate local variables.

[HCE] Control 2nd/3rd/4th-player Bipeds using Lua script

[SAPIEN] Document the process for causing a player biped to spawn

Integrate PDCurses

Printing logs to console while running the mod really sucks.

Need better diagnostics, so we should integrate PDCurses to reduce log spam

Remove Lua from Tempera

Managing and maintaining the Lua script and library separate from the C++ code is kind of a pain, and keeping it compiling while refactoring is making it hard to keep the code clean.

Additionally, Lua doesn't serve the original intended use-case. That is, a tool to allow scripters to easily contribute custom code for mapping inputs to players from controllers, etc.

Lua scripts are a HUGE opsec risk as well.

Attempt to use LoadLibrary() instead of DirectInput8 hooking

This entails more work to manage memory, but it will mitigate hooking conflicts with Open Sauce and other DI-hooking modules.

I'm considering the same thing for OpenSauce, so I'll keep you up to date with that when I have time to try it out.

Update Readme with Visuals showing what the project has already done

Include examples for things the project has already accomplished
