Implement solo-cell logic to suppress transform packet sends and remote proxy representation while the local player is in COVault109, allowing first-time character creation to remain visually single-player. One entry location update is sent so other clients can hold stale proxies before suppression begins. Added F4TSoloCell.h helper for load-order-independent solo cell recognition by editor ID and cached FormID.
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.
