andrew e61922678b Add server validation, profile store, session launch
Introduce server validation and a session launch flow with persistent server profiles.

- Add ConnectAndValidateServer to Networking to validate handshake/timeouts and return human-friendly errors; avoid auto-connecting in transform send path and remove unconditional local connect on startup.
- Add ServerProfileStore (header + implementation) to persist server->saveFile bindings under Documents/My Games/.../CommonwealthOnline/server-profiles.json with thread-safe load/save, lookup, touch and bind operations.
- Add SessionLaunch (header + implementation) to handle launching validated sessions, first-time join flow (auto coc to SanctuaryExt, character creation menus, save binding), F4SE message handling and periodic Update processing.
- Update ServerBrowserBridge to parse/validate ports, use ConnectAndValidateServer, display joinLoading UI events, schedule validated session launch on the game task thread, and centralize join success/failure handling.
- Wire SessionLaunch into main.cpp (update loop and F4SE message hook).
- Improve direct-connect UI in app.js with client-side validation, port parsing, and handling of joinLoading events.

These changes provide better connection validation, user feedback during joins, and automatic handling for first-time server joins with persistence of associated saves.

Commonwealth Online Plugin

This is the native Commonwealth Online F4SE plugin using CommonLibF4.

Requirements

  • XMake [3.0.0+]
  • C++23 Compiler (MSVC or Clang-CL)

Getting Started

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/libxse/Fallout4Together
cd Fallout4Together

Build

To build the project, run the following command:

xmake build

Note: This will generate a build/windows/ directory in the project's root directory with the build output.

Build Output (Optional)

If you want to redirect the build output, set one of the following environment variables:

  • Path to a Mod Manager mods folder: XSE_FO4_MODS_PATH

    or

  • Path to a Fallout 4 install folder: XSE_FO4_GAME_PATH

Project Generation (Optional)

If you use Visual Studio, run the following command:

xmake project -k vsxmake

Note: This will generate a vsxmakeXXXX/ directory in the project's root directory using the latest version of Visual Studio installed on the system.

Alternatively, if you do not use Visual Studio, you can generate a compile_commands.json file for use with a laguage server like clangd in any code editor that supports it, like vscode:

xmake project -k compile_commands

Note: You must have a language server extension installed to make use of this file. I recommend clangd. Do not have more than one installed at a time as they will conflict with each other. I also recommend installing the xmake extension if available to make building the project easier.

Upgrading Packages (Optional)

If you want to upgrade the project's dependencies, run the following commands:

xmake repo --update
xmake require --upgrade
