* added extra checks to eliminate cosmetics from the packet transcoder where having them defined would be considered harmful to the data
* new uniform options; moved cosmetics class file
* assurance that the cosmetics settings are accurate during transitory points
* Squad -> SquadFeatures from a common lookup
* refactor to SquadService, etc.; clarification of fields related to outfit ids
* thorough pass over squad functionality in regards to joining a squad or rejecting a squad invitation
* decorating squads in the squad list to indicate availability based on size/capacity or role requirements
* squad list decoration; rudimentary squad list searching
* renovations to squad joining, promotion, and certain invitation/cleanup procedures
* further renovations to squad joining, promotion, and certain invitation/cleanup procedures
* overhaul of squad joining and squad promotion
* separated the invitation system from the squad publishing and manipulating system
* pattern for applying damage to player avatar and player-controlled vehicle collisions
* pattern for applying damage to targets due to collisions, falling damage and crashing damage individually; fields to support these calculations are provided
* modifiers to translate 'small step velocity' to real game velocity, as reported by the HUD; corrections for velocity; corrections for velocity in other packets
* fall damage calculations moved to function
* basic two-body collisions between GUID-identified game entities and a ward against too many collisions in a short amount of time
* bailing mechanics
* vssm for non-driven vehicles
* comment about vehicle state message field
* comments and minor refactoring for current collision damage calc; tank_traps modifier; potential fix for blockmap indexing issue
* fixed cargo/carrier vehicle ops
* corrections to initialization of ce construction items; adjustments to handling of modifiers for collision damage
* modifier change, protection against flight speed and spectator crashes; submerged status is once again known only to the actor
* appeasing the automated tests
* hopefully paced collisions better; re-did how Infantry collisions are calculated, incorporating mass and exo-suit data; kill feed reporting should be better
* adjusted damage values again, focusing on the lesser of or middling results; collision killfeed attribution attempt
* kicking offers bail protection; lowered the artificial modifier for one kind of collision damage calculation
* correction to the local reference map functions
* fixed tests; attempt to zero fall damage distance based on velocity; attempt to block mine damage when spectating
The game uses a UDP-based protocol. Unlike TCP, UDP does not guarantee that
packets arrive, or that they arrive in the correct order. For this reason,
the game protocol implements those features using the following:
* All packets have a sequence number that is utilized for reordering
* Important packets are wrapped in a SlottedMetaPacket with a subslot number
* RelatedA packets ae used to request lost packets using the subslot number
* RelatedB packets are used to confirm received SlottedMetaPackets
All of these go both ways, server <-> client. We used to only partially
implement these features: Outgoing packet bundles used SMPs and could be
resent, but not all packets were bundled and there was no logic for requesting
lost packets from the client and there was no packet reordering, which resulted
in dire consequences in the case of packet loss (zoning failures, crashes and many
other odd bugs). This patch addresses all of these issues.
* Packet bundling: Packets are now automatically bundled and sent as
SlottedMetaPackets using a recurring timer. All manual bundling functionality
was removed.
* Packet reordering: Incoming packets, if received out of order, are stashed and
reordered. The maximum wait time for reordering is 20ms.
* Packet requesting: Missing SlottedMetaPackets are requested from the client.
* PacketCoding refactor: Dropped confusing packet container types. Fixes#5.
* Crypto rewrite: PSCrypto is based on a ancient buggy version of cryptopp.
Updating to a current version was not possible because it removed the
MD5-MAC algorithm. For more details, see Md5Mac.scala.
This patch replaces PSCrypto with native Scala code.
* Added two new actors:
* SocketActor: A simple typed UDP socket actor
* MiddlewareActor: The old session pipeline greatly simplified into a
typed actor that does most of the things mentioned above.
* Begun work on a headless client
* Fixed anniversary gun breaking stamina regen
* Resolved a few sentry errors
