Purpose

Implement Next Generation Multiplayer Protocol (NGMP) as the Generals Online multiplayer path for GeneralsMD. This replaces the GameSpy-dependent online flow for NGMP builds while retaining the legacy path when SAGE_USE_NGMP is disabled.

Summary

  • Add NGMP browser authentication, token handling, WebSocket messaging, lobby and room services, matchmaking, chat, social state, statistics, match-outcome submission, MOTD retrieval, and match-view links.
  • Add NGMPGame, NetworkMesh, and NextGenTransport to provide lobby synchronization, host migration, signalling, peer networking, packet transport, and game launch integration.
  • Integrate NGMP with the online menus, including login, welcome, lobby browser, lobby setup, map selection, quick match, host and join dialogs, player information, buddy overlay, and score screen.
  • Add GameNetworkingSockets and required CMake, vcpkg, CI, and runtime-deployment support for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Preserve non-NGMP builds with compile-time isolation and compatibility boundaries around existing GameSpy code.
  • Improve cross-platform paths, map discovery, modal cleanup, UI null checks, rank bounds, password submission, and runtime font/library deployment.
  • Use the NGMP JSON compatibility wrapper for the statistics interface. This keeps the offline Flatpak fallback and prevents legacy snprintf macros from affecting nlohmann/json on MSVC.

Validation

The Linux, macOS, Windows, and replay-test matrix passed. The earlier macOS download failures were transient GNU FTP timeouts and passed on retry.

// GeneralsX @feature GeneralsOnline NGMP UI Binding

- Added RefreshNGMPGameListBoxes to LobbyUtils for populating the UI
- Added chat session initialization upon EVENT_AUTH_SUCCESS
- Hooked WOLLobbyMenuUpdate to poll NGMP events instead of GameSpy
- Replaced TheGameSpyInfo->sendChat with NGMP sendChatMessage
- Modified OnlineServices_Manager update() to return events (pollEvents)
- Ensured shell event pump mechanism is using pollEvents
Added async polling for Global Stats and Persona Stats via NGMP endpoints
instead of relying on GameSpy functions, allowing the UI to populate
the Persona panel and Welcome screen statistics.
Fixed the Communicator window auto-closing by using the NGMP login state
instead of the GameSpy network state.
When the client connected to the WebSocket for NGMP Custom Match lobbies,
it never sent a NETWORK_ROOM_CHANGE_ROOM message to join a specific room.
As a result, the server treated the client as being in room -1, causing
the Lobbies HTTP request to return 0 lobbies, and the client never
received player list updates (msg_id 4) or chat messages.

Added changeNetworkRoom(int16_t roomID) to NGMP_OnlineServicesManager
and called it with room 0 (Global Lobby) in WOLLobbyMenuInit before
requesting the lobby list asynchronously. Also documented this requirement
in ngmp.instructions.md.
…ering

WOLLobbyMenuUpdate was calling TheShell->pop() before calling
markAsStagingRoomHost() in the EVENT_LOBBY_CREATED handler. Because
buttonPushed=true at that point, Shell::pop() triggers
WOLLobbyMenuShutdown with popImmediate=TRUE, which synchronously
executes shutdownComplete -> TheShell->push -> WOLGameSetupMenuInit.
Inside WOLGameSetupMenuInit, getCurrentStagingRoom() returned nullptr
(m_isHosting was still FALSE), causing a SIGSEGV on game->getSlot(0).

Fix: call markAsStagingRoomHost()/markAsStagingRoomJoiner() BEFORE
TheShell->pop() so the staging room state is initialized before any
synchronous init chain can fire.

Also add a defensive null-check in WOLGameSetupMenuInit for
getCurrentStagingRoom() that pops back to the lobby if nil, preventing
any future crash from an unexpected state loss.

Add diagnostic stderr logs in PopupHostGame and WOLLobbyMenu to trace
createLobbyAsync invocation and staging room transitions.
GameEngine.cpp was calling pollEvents() every frame, which consumed and
discarded all pending UI events (like EVENT_LOBBY_CREATED) if they arrived
between menu updates. This caused a race condition where the 'Create Game'
flow would successfully create a lobby on the server, but the UI menu
would never transition to the staging room setup screen.

Fix: Split pollEvents() into update() and pollEvents().
- update(): Processes internal logic (WebSocket messages) and moves UI events to a new m_uiEventQueue.
- pollEvents(): Now exclusively polls m_uiEventQueue for the UI menus.
- GameEngine::update() now correctly calls NGMP_OnlineServicesManager::update() instead of pollEvents().

Also added fallback for PascalCase vs camelCase in lobby parsing (Name/name)
and added a diagnostic log to capture the Lobbies API JSON response.
GameSpy slots require an explicitly set identity (TheGameSpyInfo->setLocalName) which was previously missing in the NGMP login flow, causing the host slot to be blank.

Also fixed the Back button in WOLGameSetupMenu doing nothing because it incorrectly relied on checking if the GameSpy P2P peer socket was connected before popping the screen. Now it unconditionally pops and calls NGMP changeNetworkRoom(0) to leave the lobby.
libcurl does not support concurrent access to the same CURL handle. When the main thread called curl_ws_send or curl_easy_cleanup while the receive thread was running curl_ws_recv, the allocator corrupted and crashed the game with SIGABRT (malloc bug pointer being freed was not allocated). Now both receive and send are synchronized over m_sendMutex.
…obby

1. Populate TheGameSpyInfo localName and profileID upon NGMP login in OnlineServices_Manager and MainMenuUpdate so the host player name displays properly in room slots.
2. Hide ping indicator for the local player slot in WOLGameSetupMenu, following references/GameClient pattern.
3. Push WOLCustomLobby.wnd upon game completion in WOLGameSetupMenuInit for NGMP builds.
- Populate custom lobby player listbox from NGMP lobby players with rank icons
- Fix chat message JSON payload schema and listbox routing
- Restore classic Welcome to Generals Online voice line on login

834-845: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Replace the placeholder NGMP player ID.

ngmpUserID always equals 1. The cache lookup and asynchronous request therefore fetch statistics for account ID 1. The welcome menu passes the same ID while displaying the authenticated username. Any account other than ID 1 can see the wrong player statistics.

Thread the authenticated 64-bit user ID through the player-info route. Do not narrow it through SetLookAtPlayer(Int, ...).

  • GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/PopupPlayerInfo.cpp#L834-L845: fetch and cache statistics with the authenticated user ID.
  • GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/WOLWelcomeMenu.cpp#L994-L1001: preserve the authenticated user ID when opening player info.

Emit a diagnostic when GameNetworkingSockets is unavailable.

SAGE_USE_GAMENETWORKINGSOCKETS=1 is defined only when one of the three targets exists. The fetch at line 69 is skipped when protobuf is missing or when FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED is set. In that case the build succeeds, NetworkMesh.h compiles the stub SteamNetworking* types, and the resulting client has no working P2P transport. Nothing in the configure output states this.

Add an explicit status line for both outcomes so a packager can see which transport the artifact contains.

Restrict the default to diagnostic builds.

DEEP_CRC_TO_MEMORY forces GameLogic::getCRC to serialize and copy deep CRC data at each configured CRC interval. Initialization allocates 8 MiB for the write buffer plus 64 MiB for the 64 snapshot slots. The snapshot history is bounded, but m_crcWriteBuffer doubles without an explicit maximum. Gate this default on RTS_DEBUG or an explicit desync-diagnosis switch. Use #define DEEP_CRC_TO_MEMORY (1) for consistency.

5672-5693: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Move the platform telemetry probe out of game logic.

This block calls Win32 APIs directly (GetModuleHandleA, GetProcAddress, GetSystemInfo, GlobalMemoryStatusEx) inside GameLogic.cpp, and Line 54 adds <sys/utsname.h> for the POSIX branch. Both belong in a platform layer.

Extract a single function such as GetSystemTelemetryString() into Core/Libraries/Source/Platform/ or Core/GameEngineDevice/, and call it from here. The code is diagnostic-only and behind DEEP_CRC_TO_MEMORY, so this is a structural cleanup rather than a functional fix.

As per path instructions: "Platform Isolation: Platform-specific code must stay in platform layers (Core/GameEngineDevice/, Core/Libraries/Source/Platform/). No direct Win32 (HWND, Win32 APIs), Cocoa, or raw POSIX syscalls (pthread_*, open()) in game logic (Generals/, GeneralsMD/, Core/GameEngine/)."

Inline comments:
In `@Core/GameEngine/Source/Common/UserPreferences.cpp`:
- Line 60: Guard the filesystem include in UserPreferences.cpp so it is excluded
when IS_VS6_BUILD selects the VC6 compatibility path, while retaining it for
supported non-VC6 builds that use the filesystem functionality.

In `@Core/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/MapUtil.cpp`:
- Line 1232: Update findMap() to avoid synchronously recursively scanning
Documents and OneDrive directories on cache misses. Move directory discovery
into updateCache(), or cache negative lookups so repeated stale or unknown map
names return promptly without rescanning; preserve successful map resolution and
existing cache behavior.

In `@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/CMakeLists.txt`:
- Around line 1136-1137: Guard the GeneralsOnline source entries NetworkMesh.cpp
and NextGenTransport.cpp in the z_gameengine source configuration with
SAGE_USE_NGMP, so they are included only when NGMP is enabled and its compile
definitions and dependencies are configured.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Include/GameNetwork/GeneralsOnline/OnlineServices_Manager.h`:
- Line 187: Update updateLobbyAISide and its request construction to preserve
negative startPos sentinels: omit the start_pos field when startPos is negative,
rather than sending 0, while continuing to send valid non-negative positions.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/MainMenu.cpp`:
- Around line 1586-1604: Adjust the update-required branch in
MainMenuMultiPlayerMenuTransitionToNext so the update check occurs before
changing multiplayer menu state, or restore the multiplayer transition after the
dialog is dismissed. Ensure closing the update dialog leaves the main menu’s
multiplayer controls usable rather than remaining in a partially transitioned
state.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/WOLGameSetupMenu.cpp`:
- Around line 322-326: Update WOLPositionStartSpots() so the SAGE_USE_NGMP
branch checks TheNGMPGame before calling positionStartSpots; when it is null,
skip the call or invoke the map-name overload instead, while preserving the
existing behavior for valid game instances and the non-NGMP branch.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/WOLLobbyMenu.cpp`:
- Line 2220: Update the filter-selection flow around RefreshGameListBoxes so
NGMP builds invoke RefreshNGMPGameListBoxes instead of the GameSpy-backed
refresh; retain the existing RefreshGameListBoxes behavior for non-NGMP builds.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/WOLQuickMatchMenu.cpp`:
- Around line 607-609: Update the map-list construction around the fallback
findMap call to skip entries when both findMap lookups return null. Store each
retained map’s original playlist index as its listbox data, and update the
selection path invoking startMatchmakingAsync to pass that stored index rather
than the listbox row.
- Line 1191: Update the lobby-copy flow around NGMPGame and myGame to call
cleanUpSlotPointers() immediately after the memberwise assignment, then restore
map availability before invoking startGame(0). Preserve the existing copy while
ensuring slots are rebound and map availability is restored in that order.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameNetwork/GeneralsOnline/NetworkMesh.cpp`:
- Around line 94-97: Update all three identity-handling paths around
ReceivedP2PCustomSignal and the connection status callbacks to cache
SteamNetworkingIdentity::GetGenericString() once, check it for nullptr, and
return or use -1 for invalid identities before calling std::stoll, comparing
strings, or formatting with %s. Preserve valid generic-identity parsing and
lobby comparison while ensuring logging uses only the checked string or parsed
ID.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameNetwork/GeneralsOnline/NextGenTransport.cpp`:
- Around line 151-162: Update the sender-to-slot mapping around TheNGMPGame and
getGameSpySlot so unmatched senders are detected independently of
incomingMessage.addr’s zero initialization. Drop or skip the packet when
TheNGMPGame is null or no slot’s m_userID matches kvPair.first; only deliver it
after a valid slot index has been found.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameNetwork/GeneralsOnline/NGMP_Helpers.cpp`:
- Around line 274-276: Replace the std::mt19937_64-based generation in the
gamecode helper with an OS-backed CSPRNG through the existing platform layer:
use BCryptGenRandom on Windows and getentropy or /dev/urandom on Linux and
macOS. Preserve the existing gamecode format and ensure all generated bytes come
from the secure source before use by GetBrowserLoginURL.
- Around line 239-243: Move FetchMOTD execution out of WOLWelcomeMenuInit onto a
worker thread or equivalent asynchronous path, then marshal the resulting MOTD
update to the main-thread event queue before calling TheGameSpyInfo->setMOTD.
Configure the worker-thread curl easy handle with CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL and preserve
threaded/c-ares DNS resolution or another DNS timeout mechanism so unreachable
hosts cannot stall menu processing.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameNetwork/GeneralsOnline/OnlineServices_Manager.cpp`:
- Around line 769-780: The lobby-update branch must not disband or emit
EVENT_LOBBY_LEFT solely when bHostMigrated is true. Instead, update m_hostUserId
and m_isLobbyOwner to reflect the new owner and refresh the staging-room state,
while preserving the leave path only for an actual host departure or invalid
ownership transition.
- Around line 571-572: Update the asynchronous join flow around m_currentLobbyId
so it is assigned only after the join request succeeds; retain the previous
lobby ID and host state across all failure paths, preventing later actions from
using an unjoined lobby.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameNetwork/GeneralsOnline/OnlineServices_StatsInterface.cpp`:
- Around line 54-60: Update the outcome submission flow between CommitMyOutcome
and ScoreScreen so the asynchronous HTTP result, including early returns, curl
failures, and non-200 responses, is propagated as a terminal success or failure.
In ScoreScreen, set HasCommittedOutcome only after CommitMyOutcome reports an
accepted outcome, while leaving it unset for every failure path.

Outside diff comments:
In @.github/instructions/ngmp.instructions.md:
- Line 36: Update the NGMP coding guidance to remove raw POSIX networking
headers and APIs from the permitted game-logic primitives; retain standard C++
and SDL3 primitives, and direct socket usage only in the platform layer or
approved abstract interfaces.

In `@Generals/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameLogic/System/GameLogic.cpp`:
- Around line 51-55: Move the platform telemetry implementation and
platform-specific headers out of GameLogic, including the code used by
writeCRCBuffersToDisk, into an approved platform layer. Expose a portable
telemetry result through a platform-facing API, use SDL3 abstractions where they
provide the required values, and update GameLogic::writeCRCBuffersToDisk to
consume that API without direct Win32 or other platform headers.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/PopupPlayerInfo.cpp`:
- Around line 834-845: Replace the hardcoded ngmpUserID in PopupPlayerInfo.cpp
lines 834-845 with the authenticated 64-bit user ID used for the player-info
request, preserving it through the cache lookup and requestPlayerStatsAsync
call. Update WOLWelcomeMenu.cpp lines 994-1001 to pass that 64-bit ID when
opening player info, avoiding SetLookAtPlayer(Int, ...) narrowing; both sites
require changes.

Minor comments:
In `@cmake/ngmp.cmake`:
- Around line 133-142: Add configure-time status diagnostics to the
GameNetworkingSockets target-selection block: report a clear enabled message
when any of GameNetworkingSockets::GameNetworkingSockets, GameNetworkingSockets,
or GameNetworkingSockets_s is linked, and an explicit unavailable/stub-transport
message in the no-target outcome. Keep the existing link and
SAGE_USE_GAMENETWORKINGSOCKETS definitions unchanged.

In `@Core/GameEngine/Include/Common/GameDefines.h`:
- Around line 151-153: Restrict the default DEEP_CRC_TO_MEMORY definition to
diagnostic builds by requiring RTS_DEBUG or the explicit desync-diagnosis switch
alongside the existing undefined checks. Preserve externally supplied
definitions, and use the parenthesized value form DEEP_CRC_TO_MEMORY (1).

In `@Core/GameEngine/Source/Common/UserPreferences.cpp`:
- Around line 131-150: Add a preceding GeneralsX annotation for each listed
user-facing change: Core/GameEngine/Source/Common/UserPreferences.cpp lines

immediately above its corresponding change using the required GeneralsX keyword,
author, DD/MM/YYYY, and concise description format.

In `@docs/WORKLOG/2026-08-DIARY.md`:
- Around line 8-17: Translate the added diary prose in the worklog entry from
Portuguese to English, including the Contexto, Causa Raiz Descoberta, Correção
Aplicada, and Status sections. Preserve code identifiers, protocol values, log
messages, file names, paths, and technical meaning unchanged.
- Line 609: Remove or rename the duplicate 13/08/2026 heading in the worklog so
each section has a unique heading and satisfies the enabled MD024 markdownlint
rule.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Include/GameNetwork/GeneralsOnline/NextGenTransport.h`:

author/date annotation immediately above the first public API modification.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/WOLGameSetupMenu.cpp`:
- Around line 2084-2086: Replace the two hardcoded host-migration messages in
the host-left handling branch with string-table lookups via
TheGameText->fetch(...), using appropriate localized keys consistent with
GUI:HostLeftTitle and GUI:HostLeft; preserve the existing colors and listbox
insertion behavior.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/WOLWelcomeMenu.cpp`:

.coderabbit.yaml enables Markdownlint, and MD005 reports lines 101 and 105 because they use three leading spaces instead of two. Reduce both items to two leading spaces. The three-space indentation does not change the rendered list level.

Inline comments:
In `@Core/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/MapUtil.cpp`:
- Around line 35-37: Move the POSIX-specific filesystem logic used by
MapUtil.cpp, including HOME lookup, directory discovery, and recursive access,
behind the platform-layer or SDL3 filesystem abstraction; update
Core/GameEngine/Source/Common/UserPreferences.cpp lines 60-62 likewise to
delegate separator normalization and directory creation to that same portable
abstraction. Remove direct platform filesystem handling from both game-logic
files while preserving their existing behavior through the shared abstraction.
- Around line 491-497: Add the standard GeneralsX annotation used by the project
above the new map-directory discovery block in
Core/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/MapUtil.cpp lines 491-497, and above the new
parent-directory creation block and related load-path change in
Core/GameEngine/Source/Common/UserPreferences.cpp lines 186-194; do not alter
the underlying behavior.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/WOLQuickMatchMenu.cpp`:
- Line 630: Update the list-item data setup in the quick-match menu so column 1
remains a valid MapMetaData* for saveQuickMatchOptions(), rather than storing
originalMapIndex as a pointer. Preserve the playlist index separately or add an
NGMP-specific save path that resolves the playlist map before saving
preferences, and ensure saveQuickMatchOptions() never dereferences the encoded
index.
- Line 1187: Update the condition guarding the lobby-game copy to require only
valid pLobby and myGame, removing the isInGame() requirement so guest launch
state is copied before NGMPGame::startGame(). Ensure startGame(0) is not called
when either pLobby or myGame is unavailable.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/WOLWelcomeMenu.cpp`:
- Around line 655-657: Replace the detached thread around NGMP::FetchMOTD in
WOLWelcomeMenu with a manager-owned task that coalesces concurrent MOTD requests
and is joined during online-services shutdown before TheGameSpyInfo is
destroyed. Preserve the existing fetch behavior while ensuring the task cannot
access TheGameSpyInfo after teardown.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameNetwork/GeneralsOnline/NGMP_Helpers.cpp`:
- Around line 285-288: Update GenerateGamecode at both the Windows and Unix
random-generation sites in
GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameNetwork/GeneralsOnline/NGMP_Helpers.cpp:285-288
and 296-299. Require both CryptGenRandom calls to succeed on Windows and both
/dev/urandom reads to complete on Unix; otherwise follow the existing failure
path, preventing partially initialized part1 or part2 values from being
formatted.

In
`@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameNetwork/GeneralsOnline/OnlineServices_StatsInterface.cpp`:
- Around line 141-143: Update CommitMyOutcome completion handling so the
detached worker posts the outcome result as an NGMPEvent instead of calling
SetHasCommittedOutcome directly; process that event in
NGMP_OnlineServicesManager::update() on the main thread, where NGMPGame can
safely update m_bHasCommittedOutcome and m_bCommittingOutcome while ScoreScreen
reads them.

Use the authenticated NGMP ID for player statistics.

The NGMP player-info flow ignores lookAtPlayerID and always calls getCachedPlayerStats and requestPlayerStatsAsync with 1. This can show incorrect or missing statistics. Use NGMP_OnlineServices_AuthInterface::GetUserID() directly, without truncating the 64-bit ID through SetLookAtPlayer(Int, ...).

## Purpose

Implement Next Generation Multiplayer Protocol (NGMP) as the Generals Online multiplayer path for GeneralsMD. This replaces the GameSpy-dependent online flow for NGMP builds while retaining the legacy path when `SAGE_USE_NGMP` is disabled.

## Summary

- Add NGMP browser authentication, token handling, WebSocket messaging, lobby and room services, matchmaking, chat, social state, statistics, match-outcome submission, MOTD retrieval, and match-view links.
- Add `NGMPGame`, `NetworkMesh`, and `NextGenTransport` to provide lobby synchronization, host migration, signalling, peer networking, packet transport, and game launch integration.
- Integrate NGMP with the online menus, including login, welcome, lobby browser, lobby setup, map selection, quick match, host and join dialogs, player information, buddy overlay, and score screen.
- Add GameNetworkingSockets and required CMake, vcpkg, CI, and runtime-deployment support for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Preserve non-NGMP builds with compile-time isolation and compatibility boundaries around existing GameSpy code.
- Improve cross-platform paths, map discovery, modal cleanup, UI null checks, rank bounds, password submission, and runtime font/library deployment.
- Use the NGMP JSON compatibility wrapper for the statistics interface. This keeps the offline Flatpak fallback and prevents legacy `snprintf` macros from affecting nlohmann/json on MSVC.

## Validation

The Linux, macOS, Windows, and replay-test matrix passed. The earlier macOS download failures were transient GNU FTP timeouts and passed on retry.
