- The server will no longer send a new turn until the previous one has
been "acknowledged". (TODO: this may create lag between turns in its
current form; investigate and possibly allow executing two turns while
the third is being negotiated).
- Mutexes are now being used in NetServer and NetClient to ensure
commands go into the right batches.
- Commented out some orders in the GUI code that should not be there and
are not 100% working anyway (they were part of the follow/formation
system).
- Units that spawn or are created by scripts now have net-safe position
and orientation.
- Added a debug flag that can be turned on to print details about when
commands are received and executed (DEBUG_SYNCHRONIZATION). This is
especially useful if you diff the stdouts of two running games. There
should be no differences if everything is in synch.
This was SVN commit r5463.
- Fixed outdated / buggy networking code in the GUI scripts.
- Finished the API to CNetClient so that it's possible to start a CGame
from it.
- Some enhancements for debugging networking: Enabled updates while the
game is minimized/out-of-focus if it's in a network session. Also
reduced the turn length to something slightly more manageable but still
unplayable (1 sec versus 3 sec).
- Fixed a bug where IssueCommand used to access the order it creates
after queueing it, which is bad if the order gets deleted while being
queued (e.g. in CNetClient).
This was SVN commit r5139.
