Introduce an optional equippedItems transform extension to snapshot tracked visible apparel slots. Plugin: capture local equipped ARMO form IDs on the game-thread, include equippedItems in transform packets, parse equippedItems on the networking thread, and apply/clear synced apparel on runtime proxies (with defensive logging for missing forms). Server: fake_client parses and prints equippedItems. Docs and protocol updated; changelog and dev-log entry added. Backwards-compatible: equippedItems is optional and empty formId denotes intentional unequip.
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.
