Play Input Recording would potentially unlock achievements without any player input and needs to be disabled. If a recording is already playing, hardcore mode cannot be enabled.
The player getting a better view of their surroundings than the game would normally allow could possibly give the player an advantage over the original hardware, so Freelook is disabled in hardcore mode. To do this, I disable the config flag for Freelook when it is accessed, to make sure that it is disabled whether it was enabled before or after hardcore mode was enabled.
Memory patches would be an easy way to manipulate the memory needed to calculate achievement logic, so they must be disabled. Riivolution patches that do not affect memory are allowed, as they will be hashed with the game file.
Debug Mode gives players direct read and write access to memory, which could be used to completely manipulate RetroAchievements logic and therefore is not allowed in hardcore mode.
Frame advancing is easily exploitable for slowing down a game and artificially improving reaction times and is not allowed in RetroAchievements hardcore mode.
While saving states is allowed (especially for the purpose of debugging), RetroAchievements does not allow loading saved states when hardcore mode is on.
This widget will be used in several places to notify the player that a feature has been disabled because hardcore mode is on. It includes a button to open the Achievement Settings so that Hardcore Mode may be turned off. Also included is the framework required to open AchievementsWindow specifically on the Settings tab.
Some state changes are meant to be near instantanoues, before switching to something else. By reporting ithe instant switch, the UI will flicker between states (pause/play button) and the debugger will unnecessarily update. Skipping the callback avoids these issues.
This makes it so that if you just want to reload the current style (eg. on program start, or in response to a system event), you don't need to know the name of the currently selected user style. It's also more consistent with the way the 'userstyle/enabled' flag works.
At the end of each frame automatically update the Current Value for
visible table rows in the selected and visible CheatSearchWidget (if
any). Also update all Current Values in all CheatSearchWidgets when the
State changes to Paused.
Only updating visible table rows serves to minimize the performance cost
of this feature. If the user scrolls to an un-updated cell it will
promptly be updated by either the next VIEndFieldEvent or the State
transitioning to Paused.
The table only needs to be recreated when the displayed addresses might
change. If we're just refreshing the current values then update those
table cells and leave the rest of the table alone.
A new tab is added to the Achievements dialog to chart out the leaderboards in a table. Each row of the table contains the leaderboard information and up to four relevant entries, varying based on how many entries are in the leaderboard, whether or not the player has a submitted score, and where in the leaderboard the player's score is.
