2023-06-03Adapt vote reset code into fast campaign resettingMichael Smith
This is kind of a breaking change but the other code was obviously never released or relied on by anyone - it will be pushed at the same time as this in fact. It still seems worth having the original committed separately to show the progression of development of the feature, however. Technically the standalone vote cooldown resetting could also be added back if ever desired however there doesn't seem to be that much of a use case for that at the moment. This feature ought to be a lot more convenient now as it allows for resetting back to a set starting point no matter where the player is in a run. It isn't universally useful as All Campaigns Legacy solo runs require switching to a different type of server and Main Campaigns co-op runs require restarting the game after Swamp Fever to work around the god mode bug, however it is still useful in a good few situations. Unfortunately this turned out to be pretty complex to implement, first requiring a bunch of interop with valve's rather wacky KeyValues stuff, and then requiring a bunch of especially difficult reverse engineering of L4D1 v1.0.0.5 because it doesn't use said KeyValues stuff and does something else completely different instead. A side effect of all this work is that the nag removal hack is now part of the KeyValues stuff in kvsys.c, which is kind of a comfier place for it than just kind of dumped in the middle of sst.c.
