Introduce simple position smoothing for normal proxy movement and snap special movements. Adds kProxyPositionLerpAlpha, Lerp/LerpPosition helpers, and ShouldSnapRemoteMovement to lerp proxy position on normal updates while snapping on cell_change, worldspace_change, and teleport. Update MoveProxyToRemotePlayer to use lerp or snap, keep heading snapping (TODO: wrapped angle smoothing), and add throttled/readable logs for smoothing start, first smoothed movement, snaps, and idle-on-cell-mismatch. Minor messaging change on disconnect to leave proxy idle at last position. Update docs (architecture, setup, protocol) and dev log to reflect the new behavior and testing notes; dynamic spawning/multiple proxies remain out of scope.
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.
