changedImplemented client-side authority surveys. The client can now arbitrarily set and transfer the desired height of individual survey points to the server. Used that to implement some basic sculpting tools. You can pull a corner point of a survey to raise the slope of the surveyed area relative to that point. You can pull any other point to move the survey area generally. You can hold shift to select/create a sub-area of multiple survey points, which can be similarily modified as the survey generally. Realize fully that this is not the full 3d-modelling tool required to perfectly terraform, but it is perhaps a start, and it should allow custom client makers to create their own tools to aid in surveying.

Key Fixes -----------------------

  • Significant server side optimization work has been performed on hittesting, object delta transfers, protocol object lists, &c, which should imply significant performance gains not least in terms of peak user capacity.

  • Fixed a bug, active since the attribute modifier remake, by which the loss of knockout protection from murderous raged failed to apply correctly.
