findRunningScriptByPid needlessly took a "server" argument. This caused
there to be a "getRunningScriptByPid" version that did *not*, and it was
looping through all servers in order to function, which is needlessly
inefficient.
By removing the parameter and the needless inefficient helper method,
the following changes:
- Many Netscript functions such as isRunning() and getScript() become faster.
- The terminal "tail" command now works by pid regardless of the current
server. Note that "kill" already worked this way.
I also improved the docs around "tail", since the pid argument wasn't
in the help.
To use this, add a line like "ns.ramOverride(2);" as the first statement
in main(). Not only will it take effect at runtime, but it will now
*also* be parsed at compile time, changing the script's static RAM
limit. Since ns.ramOverride is a 0-cost function, the call to it on
startup then becomes a no-op.
This is an often-requested feature, and allows for scripts to set their
usage without it needing to be explicitly mentioned via args or options
when being launched. This also reduces pressure on the static RAM
analysis to be perfect all the time. (But certain limits, such as
"functions names must be unique across namespaces," remain.)
This also adds a tooltip to the RAM calculation, to make this slightly
discoverable.
so far we calculate the effect of weaken in three +1 places
ns.weaken
ns.weakenAnalyze
terminal weaken
and server.weaken where the bn mult is applied
i extracted the logic into a new netscript helper function getWeakenEffect
this gives us one place if we want to change the formula
a side effect i added the server.cpuCores to the terminal weaken to future proof it if the npc server core pr (#963) is merged
* Added new types for various file paths, all in the Paths folder.
* TypeSafety and other helper functions related to these types
* Added basic globbing support with * and ?. Currently only implemented for Script/Text, on nano and download terminal commands
* Enforcing the new types throughout the codebase, plus whatever rewrites happened along the way
* Server.textFiles is now a map
* TextFile no longer uses a fn property, now it is filename
* Added a shared ContentFile interface for shared functionality between TextFile and Script.
* related to ContentFile change above, the player is now allowed to move a text file to a script file and vice versa.
* File paths no longer conditionally start with slashes, and all directory names other than root have ending slashes. The player is still able to provide paths starting with / but this now indicates that the player is specifying an absolute path instead of one relative to root.
* Singularized the MessageFilename and LiteratureName enums
* Because they now only accept correct types, server.writeToXFile functions now always succeed (the only reasons they could fail before were invalid filepath).
* Fix several issues with tab completion, which included pretty much a complete rewrite
* Changed the autocomplete display options so there's less chance it clips outside the display area.
* Turned CompletedProgramName into an enum.
* Got rid of programsMetadata, and programs and DarkWebItems are now initialized immediately instead of relying on initializers called from the engine.
* For any executable (program, cct, or script file) pathing can be used directly to execute without using the run command (previously the command had to start with ./ and it wasn't actually using pathing).
This is analagous to tprintRaw (enabled by ns.iKnowWhatImDoing()), but
for logs instead of the terminal. This provides a supported* method of
creating complicated UIs for scripts.
*No actual support, expressed or implied, is provided for use of this
function.
