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.
Add isCrouching to network, state and animation systems; enable proxy jump syncing with a jump-hold debounce and update animation descriptor and server tooling.
Key changes:
- Networking: F4TNetworking.h/cpp: added a_isCrouching, include "isCrouching" in transform packets and parsing, and logging.
- Remote state: F4TRemotePlayerState.h: added isCrouching field.
- Proxy animation: F4TProxyAnimationSync.*: added crouch fields, enabled jump sync, implemented ApplyJumpHoldState and jump hold timing, wrote crouch/jump bools into descriptors when available, updated event firing and logs.
- Animation descriptor: F4AnimationDescriptor.cpp: added isJumping and isCrouching to bool variable list.
- Local detection: main.cpp: added isCrouching in movement state, stubbed GetCrouchState(), adjusted jump hold timing and included crouch in outgoing transform calls.
- Server/dev tooling: server/dev_server_app.py, fake_client.py, fake_player.py, README.md: added crouch reporting, toggle UI/control and fake client support for crouch, and updated docs/logging.
- Docs: docs/dev-log.md updated with notes on jump/crouch fixes and testing.
Rationale: ensure remote players can report crouch state and make jump animations transition reliably by debouncing jump state on proxies and writing available graph bools; also provide dev-server controls and fake-client support for testing.
Add detailed design and implementation scaffolding for TiltedEvolution-style animation synchronization. New documentation: animation-architecture-alignment.md, animation-sync-analysis.md, f4-animation-descriptor.md, phase1-3-completion-report.md and updates to dev-log.md describing Phase 1-3 progress. Plugin: introduce F4AnimationDescriptor (plugin/include/F4AnimationDescriptor.h, plugin/src/F4AnimationDescriptor.cpp) and extend remote state handling (plugin/include/F4TRemotePlayerState.h). Integrate protocol/state extensions and refactor points: plugin/src/F4TNetworking.cpp now parses optional actorStateFlags and actionEvents; proxy controller and animation sync files (F4TProxyActorController.cpp, F4TProxyAnimationSync.cpp) updated to support descriptor-based bulk variable snapshots and actor state replication. Server/tools: update server/dev_server_app.py and server/fake_client.py to handle and display the new optional fields. These changes are additive and backward-compatible and set up phases for action capture, dynamic proxy spawn, and action-replay integration.
Add developer-only fake-client scripts and UI actions for testing proxy behavior. Files updated: server/fake_player.py, server/dev_server_app.py, server/README.md, docs/dev-log.md. New scripts/actions: Walk Circle, Jump Once, Toggle Sneak, Leave Cell (Left Cell), Return To Cell, and Teleport Test. UI: added buttons and handlers in the DevServerWindow to trigger these actions. fake_player: implemented script/state handling, one-shot jump thread, teleport toggle, sneak flag, walk-circle movement, cell change transforms, a socket send lock, and protection for one-shot/action state. README and dev log updated with usage, testing notes, and known issues. Basic headless smoke tests and py_compile checks were performed; full in-game Fallout 4/F4SE validation remains manual.
Add developer tooling to make GUI-managed fake clients run a Walk To Player script and provide UI controls.
Changes:
- server/fake_player.py: implement SCRIPT_WALK_TO_PLAYER, thread-safe script switching, pose/angle tracking, walk-to-player movement (straight-line, +150 X offset), target selection via a walk target provider, configurable send rates/speed/stop distance, and robust parsing of server client snapshots. Sends moving transforms ~10 Hz and falls back to idle keep-alives. Logs when no target is available.
- server/dev_server_app.py: add Set Idle and Walk To Player buttons, safe selected-client handling, and pass a client snapshot provider callback (server.get_clients()) to the fake player manager.
- server/README.md & docs/dev-log.md: document the new controls, behavior, testing notes, known limitations, and next steps.
Notes:
- Walk To Player picks the lowest non-fake playerId with a valid lastTransform and targets that player's last transform +150 X.
- Movement is simple straight-line stepping (no pathfinding/navmesh/obstacle avoidance).
- No protocol, plugin, server core, or existing fake_client networking behavior was changed.
- Quick static check: py_compile ran for relevant modules; manual GUI and in-game validation are still required.
Introduce GUI test tooling that spawns synthetic TCP clients for local relay testing. Adds server/fake_player.py implementing FakePlayerClient and FakePlayerManager which create TCP connections to 127.0.0.1:7777, parse newline-delimited JSON, receive server-assigned playerId, and send one idle transform per second for cell 0B000F99. Integrates the manager into server/dev_server_app.py: start/stop lifecycle handling, Add/Remove buttons, table snapshots, logging bridge, and clean shutdown of fake clients. Updates server/README.md and docs/dev-log.md with usage, testing notes, and known issues. Includes basic error handling and thread-safe snapshots; movement scripts beyond Idle and full in-game validation are noted as next steps.
Split the monolithic test server into a reusable server core and a thin terminal launcher, and add a PySide6 developer GUI. Added server_core.py (FalloutTogetherServer) with lifecycle control, thread-safe client snapshots, stats and log listener support; added client_session.py for per-client state; added dev_server_app.py GUI and requirements.txt. Updated server.py to use the new server core, and revised server/README.md and docs/dev-log.md to document the new structure, usage, and validation steps. Protocol behavior (welcome/transform/disconnect handling and newline-separated JSON) remains unchanged.
