This has been asked for and debated in some form since Valve introduced
hibernation into the Source engine. The changes here are based on quite
a deep dive into the engine's frame/think logic (mainly in CS:GO which
has "legacy" hibernation and TF2 which has modern "frameless" ticking)
and all seem to be sane.
I think I've managed to maintain all the oddities around time keeping,
and the simulated bool (even though we don't really use it for anything)
should have a sane value. There is a slight behaviour change for
anything needing exact timings as we're now run earlier in the frame
before gpGlobals are updated, this should generally be fine but it might
affect some plugins such as bhop timers that are trying to be extremely
precise (often more precise than the underlying data they're using).
We'll probably want to add a native for plugins to detect if the server
is not completely simulating so they can opt out of work, but I think
defaulting to having things work like this makes more sense than adding
a 2nd set of per-frame forwards and natives (#540), and this makes
timers and any extension callbacks work automatically.
Various minor things done to project files
Updated sample extension project file and updated makefile to the new unified version (more changes likely on the way)
Updated regex project file and makefile
