Curiously the spawned clone shows up as a player, despite not using the
NPCSpawn packet. This might be a suitable workaround for the
PlayerSpawn packet being buggy from our side.
This now works and Kawari has achieved basic multiplayer! This is of course with
a hundred caveats:
* Previously spawned players are not backfilled
* There is no range or zone detection
* They are carbuncle clones of you, not the other character's data
But it actually WORKS!
It turns out (amazingly) that this data exists client-side, I guess because the
server and the client share the same planevent LGB file. So instead of
hardcoding the starting location in each city, it's now literally like retail*
* Except for the fact that we don't support rotation yet, and positions in pop
ranges are probably randomized too. But it's close!
I don't think this is the right kind of invisibility, but it's more of a test of
ActorControlSelf really. I have also been trying (and failing) to make the
client show another player.
Now the world isn't hardcoded to Gilgamesh, and is configurable. It's also now
the "Dev" server listed in the excel sheet which makes a more sensible default.
This is unfortunately lumped into one big commit, and is very hacky and WIP but
does indeed work! Since the Lobby and World server are two separate servers, it
uses it's own custom IPC packets (reusing the same packet structures as regular
game ones.)
The characters you create in the Lobby server are now saved in the World server,
but this is not yet reflected in the Lobby screen.
My old setup of throwing *all* of the IPC types and opcodes into *one* enum was
becoming unbearable. Now that we have multiple things using the same opcodes
(because they can overlap) I think it's time to repay this technical debt.
This overhauls the structure of the project to move IPC structs into their own
modules, and separate the opcode data/lists into separate ones depending on if
it's clientbound and serverbound.
Nothing has changed functionall, but this is going to make it way easier to add
more IPC in the future.
I have unsuccessfully tried to spawn another actor, the game recieves it (and
adds it to the object table) but they are marked invisible. Besises, this also
contains various field improvements and initial support for social lists.
The current situation of throw-every-piece-of-logic-into-one-file for each
server isn't working out. So now there is a new ZoneConnection/LobbyConnection
struct that will be delegating tasks to their own Handlers (for example, there
could be a ChatHandler.)
I'm not sure how well this architecture will scale, but it's better than what
we have right now.
