GET_CONVAR and GET_CONVAR_INT client side

[Vespura]

I’d like to see GET_CONVAR and GET_CONVAR_INT (and possibly a GET_CONVAR_FLOAT) in the client API set. Would save a lot of time trying to manually sync them using events. Especially for convars that need to be changed during runtime.

While I’m at it, I’d also like to see the IsPlayerAceAllowed native on the client, however I do see some potential issues there considering the ‘never trust the client’ scenario.

Perhaps client-side convars are already planned, per the new Configuration & Input documentation:

A good first step would be replacing the entire configuration persistence system (settings.xml and ‘profile settings’ such as the non-graphical options in the game settings menu) with a few convars bound to the raw setting structures. These would then be saved to a Quake-style config.cfg file automatically by means of implementing the Archive flag.

Nevertheless, I would love to see this be implemented.

I could’ve sworn I’ve used these client side before, perhaps something else. Still would be nice to have.

Implemented as of the following commits:

console: server->client convar replication using `setr` command

console: natives for serverinfo/replicated convars + getting convars on client
