andrew a0563a6849 Hold proxy in hidden position when no remote
Add a temporary in-cell holding fallback for the single placed proxy actor when no valid same-cell remote player is available. Introduces kProxyHiddenHoldingPosition, ProxyLifecycleState, RemotePlayerSelection, MoveProxyToHoldingPosition and RestoreProxyForRemotePlayer, plus selection/state-tracking and throttled logs. The controller now moves the proxy to the hidden position on disconnect, disappearance, or cell-mismatch and snaps it back when a valid same-cell remote appears. Documentation and dev log updated to describe the lifecycle and rationale (docs/architecture.md, docs/dev-log.md, protocol/player-sync.md).

Protocol

This folder documents the planned network protocol for Fallout 4 Together.

The first protocol should be simple and focused on player transform sync.

First Packet Types

  • Welcome packet
  • Transform packet
  • Disconnect packet

Future Packet Types

  • Animation state packet
  • Fire weapon packet
  • Health packet
  • Chat packet
  • Cell change packet

Design Goals

The protocol should be:

  • Simple
  • Easy to debug
  • Versioned
  • Safe to extend
  • Clear enough to test outside Fallout 4

Early Testing

The protocol should be testable using fake clients before being connected to Fallout 4.
