Adds LAN server discovery and a Local tab in the multiplayer UI so clients can find relays on the same LAN. Introduces a new F4T::LanDiscovery module (plugin/include/F4TLanDiscovery.h, plugin/src/F4TLanDiscovery.cpp) that probes LAN hosts via UDP discover (port 7778) and TCP welcome fallback (port 7777). Server-side support includes a UDP responder (server/lan_discovery.py) and integration in server_core.py to start/stop discovery.
Plugin changes (F4TServerBrowserBridge/Data) add background scanning, dispatch results to the game thread, new local-server storage and events (scanLocalServers, localServersUpdated, localScanStarted/localScanFinished), and small join/recent handling updates. UI changes (ui/.../app.js and components) add localServers state, scanning UX, Recent persistence (localStorage), and join logic for local/direct entries. Docs updated (docs/protocol.md, docs/dev-log.md, server/README.md) and build script links iphlpapi. Also removes two unused exported sprite PNGs.
Add comprehensive FFDec walkthrough and short patch docs for safely adding a Multiplayer item to MainMenu.swf, plus helper scripts to extract the vanilla SWF and restore it (tools/extract_ba2.py, tools/restore-vanilla-mainmenu.ps1). Update exported MainMenu.as with a warning comment and remove an outdated exported PATCH markdown. Patch binary Interface/MainMenu.swf (updated).
Hardening fixes in the plugin: include GFx headers, avoid leaving the PrismaUI overlay focused after menu changes, only call OnBrowserHidden when the browser was actually visible, and add IsMainMenuOnMainPanel() so WatchMainMenuState ignores MainMenu when not on the MAIN_STATE. Ensure events are only dispatched when the browser is valid & visible (CanDispatchToBrowser) and make Scaleform UI hide the browser immediately during transitions. These changes prevent the overlay from staying focused during Settings transitions and stop JS events from being sent to a hidden/invalid view.
Rework the CommonwealthOnline browser UI: restructure HTML into a nav + subpanel layout, add SVG/PNG/font assets and new sprites, and overhaul styles with a new font-face and refreshed color/spacing variables. Refactor components: tabs use a left nav list; filters extraction (renderRow) and reset focus handling; direct-connect renders into a dedicated container; server-list switched to compact row layout and adds a scroll indicator; server-details now uses a preview area and simplified preview/stats rendering. Update app logic: adjust focus zone handling (nextFocusZone), limit zones per tab, update connection status/count display, and avoid rendering details for direct-connect. Overall changes improve responsiveness, visual hierarchy, and focus/navigation behavior.
Integrate a PrismaUI_F4-based HTML server browser and related tooling. Adds a ThirdParty submodule (framework-F4-Conversion), UI views (CommonwealthOnline browser HTML/JS/CSS), and multiple plugin headers/sources to bridge PrismaUI/Scaleform, handle menu input, and manage server browser data and actions (mock server list, join/connect flow).
Key changes:
- New build/deploy scripts: build-prismaui.bat, build-all.bat, deploy-all.bat, deploy-ui.bat and a PowerShell helper for linking the Ultralight SDK (ULTRALIGHT_SDK_PATH, default F:\\UltralightSDK).
- Plugin additions: F4TPrismaUI, F4TScaleformUI, F4TServerBrowserBridge, F4TServerBrowserData, F4TMenuInput, F4TDebugOverlay and implementations to create/show/hide the HTML view, forward controller input, register Scaleform functions (openManager/closeManager), and push UI events.
- Networking: add ConnectToServer(host,port) and keep ConnectToLocalServer() as wrapper; update connection logs and error handling.
- Main menu SWF/AS updates: updated MainMenu.swf and MainMenu.as to call closeManager() when leaving multiplayer and to integrate open/close hooks.
- Documentation: plugin/setup.md updated with PrismaUI build/deploy instructions.
- Removed Main_ModManager.swf (deleted).
Primary intent: provide an in-game HTML server browser (toggleable with F9 or Scaleform calls), wire up controller input, and add build/deploy workflow for PrismaUI/Ultralight so developers can build and deploy the UI and plugin together. Mock server data is used for now; network join/connect plumbing is provided for local/dev servers.
Replace occurrences of "Fallout 4 Together" with "Commonwealth Online" across docs and testing guidance. Add Interface assets and tooling: MainMenu/Pipboy SWFs, translation/fonts, exported scripts (Interface/exported/scripts/MainMenu.as) and a PATCH_MainMenu_Multiplayer.md describing how to add a Multiplayer menu entry that calls root.f4se.plugins.commonwealthOnline.openManager(). Also add build/run batch scripts and apply assorted updates to README, plugin, server and protocol documentation/source to align with the rename and UI changes.
