If there's no sound section in the INI, that means no sounds are
intended for the character, no need to warn us for that.
|
|
Note: this is an old commit that was relevant prior to 10b413c
("Add asset preloading system for IC message rendering")
WebAO assumes every character has an idle and talking animations which
reside in fixed "(a)" and "(b)" subdirectories. This assumption, of
course, breaks many valid characters that don't use these magical
directory names, as it prepends them to every emote URL.
This commit removes this fossil. Animation, or any character structure
at all, shouldn't depend on magical subdirectory names, and instead
defined explicitly.

The following packets are unused and have no reason to have handlers:
- CI: character information, unused and handled by SC.
- EI: evidence information, unused and handled by LE.
- EM: area and music information, handled by SM, and obsoleted by
dedicated FA and FM.
- MM: clientside toggle of whether a client is allowed to change music.
The handler doesn't even do anything beyond acknowledging its
existence.
- RMC: plays a music track with an offset. Unused in practice, not
present in AO2 Client.
- ackMS: sent by the server to acknowledge an IC message, a relic from
AO1.

In an IC message, x and y offsets are separated by an ampersand, which
is unfortunately a conventional separator within packet fields. So, it
looks like `25&10` for x = 25 and y = 10. A consequence of that is you
have to substitute '&' if you actually want to send it. AO does it by
substituting it to `<and>` and back.
The MS handler instead expected it to never be decoded, and instead
assumed `25<and>10`. By the time the MS packet reaches the handler, the
token has already been decoded into '&', however, thus breaking offsets.

INI parser normalized everything in INI (except for "showname" value)
and recomputed regex match twice for parameters and sections.
|
|
For whatever reason, WebAO decides to normalize almost every string
component in URLs, packets, and INI files to lower case.
First, the glaring issue. In the URLs, this handling of paths is utterly
broken and corrupts data. By mangling characters, you change the
resource identity and break valid URLs. According to section 6.2.2.1 of
RFC 3986 (Case Normalization):
> When a URI uses components of the generic syntax, the component syntax
> equivalence rules always apply; namely, that the scheme and host are
> case-insensitive and therefore should be normalized to lowercase. For
> example, the URI <HTTP://www.EXAMPLE.com/> is equivalent to
> <http://www.example.com/>. The other generic syntax components are
> assumed to be case-sensitive unless specifically defined otherwise by
> the scheme (see Section 6.2.3)
Scheme and host _are_ case-insensitive. Path is _not_, so isn't
everything else. Section 6.2.3 doesn't define any normalization for the
path component in HTTP schemes. Thus, example.com/item and
example.com/Item are two different resources.
I can only think of idiotic conventions of a particular poorly designed
file system when it comes to this absurdity. There's no reason to drag
them around in our developments. For these systems, case doesn't matter
anyway, normalization is their job, not server hosts' who end up having
to either rewrite every URL request for every asset, or mangle their
asset directory and then rewrite almost every INI config (and spam
"showname=Name" everywhere because now your character directory has to
be "name").
So, instead of using absurd ad-hoc solutions to a broken implementation
such as forcing everything to lower case on the server side, this commit
attempts to fix the root issue and make URL handling conformant to
relevant standards.
Similar situation with strings within packets, although not as severe
in practice. Case must be preserved, otherwise it's corrupting data for
no reason. If a normalization is needed, it should be done at the call
site of whatever requires it (like a filtering function), not by the
parser.
As for the INI, it's opinionated. While the values absolutely must not
be normalized, a case can be made for keys and section names: why not
allow "Options", "options", or even "oPtiOnS"? It's more convenient, and
corresponds to the platform quirk of Windows (which Qt unfortunately
inherits in AO2 Client). I don't think there's a good reason to allow
such leniency in parsing, and removing superfluous normalization is a
better move: less data transformations, less ambiguity, more strictness.
In practice, INIs tend to be well-formed, and it's good discipline to
write them this way.
In several places, the case-folding does make sense: callwords,
OOC commands, CSS class names for areas, and character list filters.
These will behave weirdly and inconveniently without it. In most places,
however, it only causes unnecessary breakage.

CH is an application-level keepalive packet that clients periodically
send for two reasons:
1. It tells the server they're still connected, preventing timeouts.
2. By measuring latency between sending CH and receiving CHECK, a client
can display ping.
Keepalive is redundant because WebSocket can handle that via PING frames on a
transport layer. WebAO also completely ignores CHECK and sends CH every
five seconds, which is superfluous (AO2 Client sends it once every 45
seconds, in comparison).
Sending CH via `setInterval` was also problematic: browsers seem to
throttle it when the tab becomes inactive, preventing periodic pings and
leading to the server disconnecting inactive browser clients.

The early return guard `textnow === chatmsg.content` was firing on the
first tick for empty messages ("" === ""), short-circuiting the entire
animation timeline before the preanim or shout phases could run.
Now the guard also checks that both tick phases have completed before
allowing the early exit.

Fix rendering race conditions where character sprites, pre-animations,
and paired character assets were displayed before being downloaded.
All assets referenced in an MS packet are now resolved and preloaded
into the browser cache before the animation timeline starts.
- Add unified assetCache module with session-wide promise caching
- Add preloadMessageAssets orchestrator for parallel asset resolution
- Cache fileExists HEAD requests so missing files aren't re-probed
- Preload all SFX (emote, shout, realization, stab) alongside sprites
- Use synchronous setEmoteFromUrl at all render transition points
- Graceful fallback to legacy setEmote if preloading times out

setAOhost now returns the current AO_HOST so handleASS can use the

PR/PU packets arrive before the ASS packet, so playerlist icon srcs
were set with the default AO_HOST. Now handleASS re-applies the
correct asset URL to existing playerlist images after AO_HOST updates.

Store player data (charId, area) in an in-memory Map on the client,
updated by PR/PU packet handlers. Use this to eagerly load char.ini
when a player's character appears in our area or when switching areas,
eliminating the lazy-load delay on first IC message.
