fixedZeta's gone from 0.4 to 0.5 to denote multiplayer becoming close to barely functional! I've spent the past few months primarily working on multiplayer (which is still very much a work in progress; I've been slowed by a handful of tricky issues, some of which still persist) but I've also made a number of quality of life improvements and fixed a few bugs along the way.

There are probably still other issues with doing so, though, particularly for clients. -Client mechbots now stop properly and emit building particles upon reaching the construction site. -Client mechbots no longer try to handle construction logic that should just be handled by host. -Clients no longer update the status of their own resource deposits, since this should be handled by the host. -Fixed client mechbot failing to correctly tell the host which building it is trying to construct. -Client mechbots can now stop at the job site and emit construction particles without knowing what the construction target is. -Batched ore and fuel deposit packets sent to clients at match start. -Added half-second delay to sending clients map resource data at match start. .5.12 -Re-enabled code allowing clients to tell the host to place their buildings, which was disabled in .5.11 due to an unfortunate temporary misunderstanding involving the Møøse. -Removed debug indicators. .5.13 -Re-enabled the remainder of the aforementioned code, which I had likely overlooked due to some treachery on the part of the aforementioned Møøse. -Added a one second delay to spawning clients' starting units. .5.14 -Fixed a host crash on client building creation caused by an out-of-scope local variable. -Fixed the delayed spawn of clients' starting mechbots. .5.15 -Added debug indicators and fail state cleanup (to prevent a host-side crash) to the client_build_building function, which still isn't working right. .5.16 -Fixed another out-out-of-scope local variable that was keeping client_build_building from working properly. -Client mechbots now know when they are constructing, which should solve the problem of not moving toward the construction location. -Removed debug indicators added in .5.15 .5.17 -Added debug indicators for client unit deselection and failed selection. -Fixed counting error when removing missing units from client's selected unit array. .5.18 -Shuffled around some debug indicators to learn more stuff. -Fixed runaway client building issue where client mechbots initiated a new construction project every step. .5.19 -Fixed a bug with client unit selection that caused a buffer misread if there was no displayed unit. -Added debug output for client unit selection. -Increased client resource spawn delay to 2 seconds at match start. -Host controller no longer creates a new buffer every time it receives a network packet. -Network buffers are now properly deleted when controllers are destroyed. -Sent packets now all reuse a single buffer. .5.20 -Fixed client crash caused by checking buffer size rather than packet size for an operation (these were the same size prior to .5.19). .5.21 -Fixed host crash caused by accidentally still deleting the buffer after receiving packets. .5.23 -Set default packet type to "reliable". .5.24 -Fixed host crash caused by newly out-of-scope buffer variable. -Text no longer displayed for the removed "resume" button in the client in-game pause menu. .5.25 -Fixed client crash caused by a copy/paste error in my debug query added in .5.19 [insert facepalm here]. .5.26 -Fixed what might be the final crash caused by the buffer changes in .5.19. Hopefully. .5.27 -Clients no longer stop registering unit selection if host is eliminated, but do stop if they are. -Clients no longer interfere with host's double-click time check. -Fixed case of client unit GUI being told to be displayed by host. -Refactored code for checking if all box-selected buildings are the same type to be more efficient. -Fixed issue causing clients' box-selected mechbots to have no GUI display. -Now clearing client's previous unit selection data on receipt of new data from the host in a ham-fisted but foolproof manner. -"Under command" status now communicated from host to client on client unit selection. -Added debug output for host's selected unit array contents sent to clients and for clients' reception of underCommand values from host. .5.28 -Removed some debug indicators and output for the client unit selection process. -Host now only sends selected unit packet to the client if more than 0 units are selected. -Refactored selected unit host to client communication to account for the engine automatically converting entries to "noone" values on json parse. -Fixed a line of mechbot code that was only allowing it to initiate building construction if it belonged to either the host or AI. -Clients can now resume the (unpaused) game from the ingame menu if it isn't paused by the host. .5.29 -Client selected unit list received from host is now converted back to instance IDs after being used for indices, as they are needed as such elsewhere in the game's code. .5.30 -Redid the .5.29 change so that the units in the list are the client units rather than the host units (oops!). .5.31 -Removed selected unit array debug output. -Added debug indicators for client construction initiation. .5.32 -Client no longer creates and destroys a building when telling the host it is initiating a construction project. -Created custom multiplayer object array to reduce bandwidth use and remove any chance of miscommunication. -Mechbot constructing status is now updated as part of scr_update_mp_unit and is no longer set by the client before telling the host to build. -Host now updates client mechbot after it checks whether to assist building, rather than before, on left mouse button release. -Updated debug indicators for client construction initiation. .5.33 -Fixed a missed step for clients getting object IDs, which caused an immediate client crash in .5.32. .5.34 -Fixed client crash caused by telling client mechbots to start constructing but not telling them where. -Removed code causing newly created client mechbots to go to a slightly incorrect location. -Fixed code setting correct targeting and movement status for a client fighter created while its squadron is engaging a target. .5.35 -Added detailed debug output for client move to build function. .5.36 -Fixed client build location error caused by incorrectly reading a signed buffer as a float buffer. -Addressed issue of client mechbot ceasing to be displayed after placing a building. -Changed all position storing buffers from f16 to s16. -Correct match stats are now sent to clients on surrender or match end. .5.37 -Trying a different approach to fixing the issue of client mechbot ceasing to be displayed after placing a building. -No longer using int64 in any situations where real is accepted, to hopefully address issues with incorrect client unit health, etc. .5.38 -Undid both attempts at maintaining client mechbot displayed status from .5.36 and .5.37, neither of which worked as intended. -Reverted changes made to client construction effect behaviors in .5.11 since the result was unsatisfactory. -Added debug output for client HP issue (which seems to have been caused by the buffer changes in .5.19). .5.39 -Added more debug output for client HP issue after discovering major issues with no immediately clear cause in .5.38. .5.40 -Now only sending HP/Shield/maxShield update packets if they aren't empty (no wonder bandwidth usage was so high!). -Fixed issue with accidentally initializing local variables multiple times when receiving these packets. -Disabled the new debug output for now (for performance). .5.41 -Disabled remaining debug output for release.
