andrew 8dfec0a4b3 Rename project to Commonwealth Online
Replace occurrences of "Fallout 4 Together" with "Commonwealth Online" across docs and testing guidance. Add Interface assets and tooling: MainMenu/Pipboy SWFs, translation/fonts, exported scripts (Interface/exported/scripts/MainMenu.as) and a PATCH_MainMenu_Multiplayer.md describing how to add a Multiplayer menu entry that calls root.f4se.plugins.commonwealthOnline.openManager(). Also add build/run batch scripts and apply assorted updates to README, plugin, server and protocol documentation/source to align with the rename and UI changes.

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
  • 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.
