This adds a chat console the server owner can use for administration
or to talk with players.
It runs in its own thread, which makes the user interface immune to
the server's lag, behaving just like a client, except timeout.
As it uses the same console code as the f10 console, things like nick
completion or a scroll buffer basically come for free.
The terminal itself is written in a general way so that adding a
client version later on is just about implementing an interface.
Fatal errors are printed after the console exists and the ncurses
terminal buffer gets cleaned up with endwin(), so that the error still
remains visible.
The server owner can chose their username their entered text will
have in chat and where players can send PMs to.
Once the username is secured with a password to prevent anybody to
take over the server, the owner can execute admin tasks over the
console.
This change includes a contribution by @kahrl who has improved ncurses
library detection.
Use wide_to_utf8 and utf8_to_wide instead of wide_to_narrow and narrow_to_wide at almost all places.
Only exceptions: test functions for narrow conversion, and chat, which is done in a separate commit.
* TOSERVER_INIT and TOCLIENT_INIT renamed to _LEGACY
* TOSERVER_PASSWORD merged from dev-0.5, can use protocol v24 and v25
* TOCLIENT_ACCESS_DENIED merged from dev-0.5, can use protocol v24 and v25, with normalized strings an a custom id for custom errors
* new TOSERVER_INIT packet only send MT version, supported compressions, protocols and serialization, this permit to rework everything later without break the _INIT packet
* new TOSERVER_AUTH packet which auth the client
* new TOCLIENT_HELLO packet which send server serialization version atm
* new TOCLIENT_AUTH_ACCEPTED which is send when TOCLIENT_AUTH was okay. After this packet, the client load datas from servers, like after TOCLIENT_INIT_LEGACY packet
Don't use TOSERVER_RECEIVED_MEDIA but TOSERVER_CLIENT_READY as indicatio for client ready
Handle clients with protocol version < 23 (almost) same way as before
Make client tell server about it's version
Add client state to not send bogus player position updates prior init complete
Add access to statistics information (peer connction time,rtt,version)
Fix clients standing stalled in world while preloading item visuals (new clients only)
Add get_player_information to read client specific information from lua
