Implement host-authoritative time/weather sync across server and clients. Adds a new worldState packet (and worldStateHost for host assignment) and server-side host tracking/reassignment to the lowest remaining playerId when the host disconnects. Plugin-side changes introduce F4T::WorldStateSync (new header + implementation), polling/apply hooks in the game-thread main loop, and Networking support to send/receive/parse worldState/worldStateHost packets. The server validates host-only sends, relays worldState to peers, broadcasts worldStateHost on host handoff, and augments logging/stats. Protocol and documentation files updated (protocol/world-state.md, docs/*) and server/fake_client.py extended to track/print host world-state snapshots.

# 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`](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.
