- Relay and lightcomponent states are synced (otherwise clients won't be notified if the state is, for example, toggled by a signal from a button).
- Clients don't play door sounds if a signal attempts to set the state to the same value as the predicted state, but DO play if a correction from the server changes the state from the predicted one.
- Clients are notified if a reactor receives a shutdown signal.
- Powercontainer updates are sent if the charge changes by 1%, not by 1 unit.
I.e. the clients delay correcting the state of the item until the local player stops manipulating the state (atm the delay is 1 sec). Prevents pumping speeds, steering directions and whatnot from switching to an old state and back - now the corrections should not be visible to the players unless the client predicts the state wrong.
- Server sends updates for batteries when their charge changes (not strictly necessary assuming the rest of the electrical grid stays in sync, but just in case)
- Reactor state is synced with clients if modified through the debug console
- Increased maximum item velocity to 64 units/s, all item are clamped to the max vel
- Option to use separate sprites for different states of a GUIComponent (e.g. hovered/pressed button)
- Option to configure "child styles" for the individual elements of a GUIComponent (e.g. the background frame and the handle of a scroll bar)
If an entity had been removed and it's ID taken by some other entity, clients who hadn't received a message about the removal and the new entity would end up reading ENTITY_POSITION messages for the new entity incorrectly. Reading an incorrect number of bits from the message would also prevent the clients from reading the rest of the data in the packet properly.
Now the server doesn't send position updates to clients during midround syncing (because there's no guarantee they know about the entity yet). Clients also force the read position to the correct place after reading a position update in case something goes wrong when reading the msg.
Fixes clients occasionally getting kicked out the moment they're in sync, because their latest received ID is still set to the ID of the last unique event and the server thinks they're requesting some old event that doesn't necessarily exist anymore.
+ added a debug command that creates a ton of entity events
A fairly unimportant change, so I'll just commit it to new-netcode since I forgot to switch to master before making this change and I'm too lazy to just port things over :P
I noticed that if the main event IDs went over 10000 and there were more than 450 unique events, the server would sometimes skip the next event the client needed. Sometimes the client would also not realize that the last event it received was the final init event, so it would reject all further events because of a huge ID discrepancy. The init events will likely need to be reworked, but updating UnreceivedEntityEventCount seems to help somewhat.
Couldn't reproduce the crash, but I'm guessing it could be caused by CompareCCW not returning 0 if comparing a position to itself. (and if not, at least the exception is caught now)
