Stop hardcoding player 1 for server-initiated weather/time and instead use the current world-state host. Plugin code now defers weather commands until GetWorldStateHostPlayerId() is available, uses IsWorldStateHost() to gate execution, logs local/host IDs, and requeues when host assignment is missing. Relay logic now attempts ForceHostWorldStateBroadcast and logs if relay fails. Updated protocol docs, dev server UI tooltips, presets comment, changelog, and dev log to reflect world-state host terminology and behavior. This ensures weather/time control survives host reassignment and avoids dropped commands on reconnect/restart.
Add parsing and application of HHmm time strings as Fallout game-hour floats so GUI time presets apply correctly. Introduce ParseHHmmToGameHour in plugin/src/F4TWorldStateSync.cpp and use it when building the console command (formats as set gamehour to <float> with fallback to the raw HHmm string if parsing fails). Improve logging to indicate when a parsed HHmm was used. Update protocol/server-world-state.md, changelog.md, and docs/dev-log.md to document the behavior and rationale.
Replace invalid Fallout 4 weather form IDs with valid ones (including fixing Clear from 0002852a -> 0002b52a) and update protocol examples and server presets accordingly. Change the plugin to re-queue/defer server weather payloads when the local assigned player ID is not yet available (so early GUI clicks are not dropped) and add a log entry when deferring. Reset player/host assignment on server startup (_next_player_id = 1 and clear _world_state_host_player_id) to avoid stale host IDs after restarts. Also update changelog and developer log entries describing the fixes and recommended manual testing steps.
Introduce a server-authoritative world-state packet to control weather and time from the dev server GUI. Adds protocol docs and message type (serverWorldState), a new Weather/Time tab in dev_server_app.py, server-side broadcasting in server_core.py, and preset utilities in server/world_state_presets.py. Plugin changes (F4TNetworking.cpp, F4TWorldStateSync.*) queue and apply incoming serverWorldState on the game thread, run `set gamehour` for all clients, and run `fw <8-digit-id>` on the assigned player 1 then force the host to relay a worldState snapshot. Also includes parsing/validation of hex form IDs, logging improvements, and minimal fake client handling. This ensures consistent server-driven time/weather and documents usage and presets.
