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.
Protocol
This folder documents the planned network protocol for Commonwealth Online.
The first protocol should be simple and focused on player transform sync.
First Packet Types
- Welcome packet
- Transform packet
- World state packet (host time and weather) — see
world-state.md - Server world state packet (dev GUI weather/time) — see
server-world-state.md - 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.
