Launching to a property started an extra clone 0 instance of the zone besides the property's own, because
the prep only carried the zone. PrepZone now carries the clone when there is one (written only then, so a
plain prep is unchanged).

The fixture check now also reads every recorded client game message with the
struct the server reads it with (GameMessageHandler::CreateReceived) and writes
it again: it must read the whole message and give back the same bits. Game
message fields are decoded with the server's structs in the fixture tests.
A synthetic fixture, built in the test from the server's own structs (login,
position update, a client game message), goes through the export steps
(portable, anonymised, saved, read again) and passes the same checks; recorded
fixtures stay in tests/fixtures-local and are never committed.

Staff arm a packet capture on the dashboard; master passes MESSAGE_CAPTURE_CONTROL ARM to
every world, auth and chat and arms its own. Each server's PacketCapture tap (dServer receive,
and a send hook in RakPeer::Send so replica constructions are seen too) records into one
preallocated chunk per server and ships sealed chunks through master on the main loop when
capture_flush_bytes or capture_flush_interval_ms is reached; past capture_buffer_max_mb the
oldest chunks are dropped and the dashboard records a gap. Nothing is armed: one flag check.
- targets: an account (from its login; packets before the login are kept per connection
and added once auth or the world knows whose they are), a character (from when it is
picked), or everything; up to 8 at once (a bit each in the record mask)
- worlds and auth record their clients' packets and the master link messages of a captured
player (session keys by name, zone transfers by request, player added/removed, migration);
chat finds the player in each packet; master records server traffic for everything
- secrets are never recorded: structs that carry them (login request, login response user
key, world validation session key, session key messages between servers) are read,
blanked and written again before recording; auth keeps only the handshake and login
- PacketDecoder: a registry by service and message id names every packet and decodes the
registered structs; CaptureBundle is the file format (DLUBNDL1, metadata, records);
CaptureTools orders records on one timeline, pulls movement out, makes bundles portable
or anonymous and diffs replays
- the dashboard keeps packet captures in message_capture_sessions (capture_kind 1) and
their packets in a file under capture_dir, one write per batch; arming is audited
- MESSAGE_CAPTURE_CONTROL/DATA only gain appended enum values and trailing fields

Frames and phase scopes in the world, auth, chat and UGC loops (packets per type, entities, physics, ghosting, replica, spawners, log flush, saves, web requests by route). Scopes at LoadPlayer, CreateEntity, each component's construction, InventoryComponent::LoadXml, script timers and a world's zone load; game database queries in the query helpers; CDClient statements timed through sqlite3_trace_v2 as CDClient <table> (CppSQLite3DB gets a handle accessor). Task 96.

The client's TacArcBehavior::Cast (0x00fb2d10) sorts the targets in the arc nearest first, or by weight when
distance_weight or angle_weight is set (sortWithWeights, 0x00f58cd0: distance_weight * (max range - distance) /
max range + angle_weight * (180 - angle) / 180, heaviest first). With use_attack_priority, SortByAttackPriority
(0x00f72900) then buckets them by GetAttackPriority, lowest first, keeping that order inside each bucket; only the
DestroyableComponent answers it, and an object without one counts as 1. DoHit keeps the first max targets.
Nothing else ranks targets: enemies are taken over nearer smashables only because their attack_priority (1) is
lower than most smashables' (10). use_attack_priority is off when a behavior does not set it (TacArcBehavior::
Initialize, 0x00f9b980), as before.
The server sorted by distance only and ignored the flag, so a one-target swing hit the nearest crate instead of the
enemy behind it. OrderTargets now does the client's ordering, with equal targets in ascending id order (the order
the client's id set hands them over in); the chosen targets are still written in ascending id order (issue 1045).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
DestructibleComponent.attack_priority is loaded onto the DestroyableComponent as a signed value. The client's
LWODestroyableComponent (LoadDataFromTemplate, 0x00c9f900) starts it at 1 and keeps 1 when the column is empty, and
answers GetAttackPriority with it; the server now does the same so TacArcs can order their targets by it.

Every server now splits its packet counts by peer: its own connections
(players on auth and worlds), its master link, or other servers (the
worlds on chat, every server on master, a world's chat link, which is
now counted too). HTTP requests carrying X-Darkflame-Server count as
another server's, the dashboard counts its own requests to the UGC
server, and each HTTP client address is counted. The report also gets
each RakNet connection's statistics (worlds name the player on it),
trimmed to the 32 busiest with the rest summed. Counting stays on the
main loop, except the dashboard's UGC fetches, which only touch the
locked recorder.

MovementAIComponent::SetDestination cuts an enemy's path (chasing, tethering,
wandering) where it first walks into a wall its collision group can't cross,
so enemies no longer walk through the Sentinel camp walls, the Crux Prime and
property navmesh carvers, or the enemy blocking volumes. With nothing left to
walk the enemy stays put. Patrols along a level path, and movers without combat
AI, are left alone.
Adds a scenario test: an enemy chasing across an enemy only volume and across a
carver stops in front of it; the clear threat wall is a trigger, not a wall.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A fixed simple physics object, or a phantom volume, that its data marks as a
wall for enemies (a navmesh carver, or solid with a group only enemies touch)
adds its shape to the world's movement blockers, and takes it out again when it
goes away. Only shapes the server knows are used; an unknown asset's stand in
cube would be a guess, so it is logged and left out.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The "Clear threat list Trigger Wall" names its physics test\POI_trigger_wall.hkx,
which the server only knew as env\POI_trigger_wall.hkx, so it got the 2x2x2
stand in cube and enemies walking past never touched it. Physics assets are now
also matched by file name, case blind, and the wall is its measured size
(1 x 12.98 x 20.45, base at its origin).
"Trigger Rectangle Box" (Trigger_Rectangle_Box.hkx, 8 x 8 x 4) gets its real
size too; it was a stand in cube as well.

The client reads RebuildComponent.activityID over a level's activityID
unless the level sets actIDovrd, but live followed the level's: the AM
Center draw bridge (LOT 12047) has activityID 12047 without actIDovrd and
dropped no loot in 4 of 4 live completions, where the template's activity 6
would have dropped quickbuild rewards. DLU already does what live did.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A quickbuild's HasItem preconditions took their items only when the build
completed and never gave them back. Live took them when the build started
and gave them back when it was cancelled: the FV Stone Warrior pedestal
(LOT 8551, precondition 99: 5 of LOT 6194) took the items at Building 5
times and added them back with the loot source Quickbuild on each of the 3
cancels in the live captures.
Preconditions now report their item costs instead of removing items while
checking. A quickbuild takes them at the start, gives them back on cancel
or a reset during the build, keeps them on completion, and gives them back
when the builder leaves the world mid-build.

Live sent AddItemToInventoryClientSync with loot_type_source Pickup for the
items of opened packages (token bags, surprise packs, the imaginite bag;
all 98 items added after a live UseNonEquipmentItem). DLU used Consumption.

Live sent quickbuild completion loot (about 190 samples) and the dragon,
BONS, spider queen and Frakjaw chest and wishing well rewards with the
player who earned them as the DropClientLoot source and owner,
use_position true and the spawn position at the object. DLU used the object
as the source, so use_position was false.
DropActivityLoot now uses the player as the source by default. The growing
flowers and the VE mission console have no live samples and keep the
object as the source.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ActivityRewards coins were always read from CurrencyTable npcminlevel 1.
Live used the reward row's ChallengeRating as the npcminlevel, and level 1
when the currency index has no row for that level:
- FV foot races (ChallengeRating 4, index 1) gave 36 and 48 coins, which
only level 4 (30-50) fits; level 1 is 3-5.
- Frakjaw's chest (activity 58, ChallengeRating 6) gave 250 each to a team
of 2: its currency indices 123-126 only have a level 6 row (500), so DLU
gave nothing.
- Quickbuilds, wishing wells and chests have ChallengeRating 1; survival
and the shooting galleries have ratings with no row and keep level 1.

DLU sent a DropClientLoot for 0 coins with every drop whose coin range was
0, such as item-only smashables and scripted drops. None of the 3163 live

The third ray backend, so every machine has a library for it: Embree on x86
CPUs (embree), HIPRT on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs (hiprt), Embree through SYCL on
Intel Arc and Xe GPUs (embree-gpu).
- CMake option DLU_EMBREE_SYCL (off). dUgcServer/EmbreeSycl is a project of
its own built by a SYCL compiler (DLU_SYCL_CXX; icpx through ONEAPI_ROOT or
the path, or the open source DPC++'s clang++ through DPCPP_ROOT) as an
external project: Embree 4.4 with EMBREE_SYCL_SUPPORT, linked statically and
bound inside (-Bsymbolic, only its C functions exported, so it never meets
the servers' own Embree), and the GPU kernels (nearest hit skipping a ray's
triangle, any hit), into libdlu_embree_sycl next to the servers
- UgcRaysEmbreeGpu loads it the first time embree-gpu is asked for; one GPU for
the process (embree_gpu_device picks it), the workers take turns, the
occlusion rays in batches as for hiprt
- without the build, the library or a supported Intel GPU it falls back to
embree and says why (the UGC server's log at start, --make-model on stderr)
- the option names, the settings page, the dashboard's picker, /reprocessproperty
Verified here: the default build and ctest; the SYCL build with the open source
DPC++ 7.1.0 (compiles, links against oneAPI's libsycl.so.9, exports only its C
functions); on this machine (no Intel GPU) it loads, finds no GPU and falls
back to embree. Not verified: tracing on an Intel GPU (none here).
Check: on a machine with an Intel Arc or Xe GPU and oneAPI, configure with
-DDLU_EMBREE_SYCL=ON and run UgcServer --make-model x.lxfml out embree-gpu;
the UGC tests then compare it with Embree.

Embree 4 (always built) replaces the UGC server's own bounding volume
hierarchies (the nearest-hit one and the occlusion rays' any-hit one), with no
fallback to them. ray_backend is embree (default) or hiprt (optional build;
Embree when it can't be used).
Settings, stored options and stats that say builtin still read: it is embree
(UgcRays::Parse, UgcProcessOptions::Parse). The dashboard's picker,
/reprocessproperty and --make-model offer embree and hiprt.
Tests: the backends are compared with Embree (hiprt when built), Embree against
rays whose hits are known, and the clutter's occlusion against what the old
hierarchy worked out (296 vertices summing to 114.5, 26 open, 183 dark); the
pinned model hashes are unchanged with Embree.
Check: ray_backend=builtin in an ini still starts and uses embree; the
settings page offers Embree and HIPRT.

The path tracer that imitated LU Toolbox's Remove Hidden Faces took 17 to 100
times as long as the renders from 42 directions around the model, too heavy to
use. It goes with its settings (hsr_method, hsr_samples, hsr_bounces,
hsr_sample_spacing, hsr_min_points), its side by side tracing for GPUs and its
tests. The renders (UgcRender::VisibleFromAround) remove hidden faces as before
that method existed; their size is hsr_resolution (1024), and the memory
estimate counts their buffers again.
The hidden-face method is no longer a processing option: the dashboard's picker,
/reprocessproperty and --make-model take only the ray backend (the occlusion's)
and denoising. Options stored before (made_options, process_options,
ugc_process_runs, --make-model arguments) that name toolbox or fast still
parse; the word is skipped.
Check: the settings page has no hsr_method or path settings and has
hsr_resolution; /reprocessproperty embree toolbox still works (toolbox
ignored); models made with the defaults keep their hashes (UGC tests).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Staff can make models again with other processing options than the UGC
settings' (ray backend, hidden-face method, denoising) and every make records
what made it, for comparing the options.
- migration mysql 99 / sqlite 82 (ugc_process_options): ugc.process_options
(picked for the next make, cleared once made), ugc.made_options (what made
the current files) and ugc_process_runs (every successful make: options,
wall and CPU time, hidden faces', occlusion's and icon's time, bricks,
triangles before and after)
- IUgc: ResetUgcModelProcessing and ResetPropertyUgcModelProcessing take the
options; PendingModel carries them; RecordUgcModelRun, GetUgcRunSummaries;
list entries have madeOptions and processOptions
- the UGC server applies a job's options over its settings and records the run
- /api/ugc/reprocess takes options ("embree fast oidn"); /api/ugc/options
lists the choices, the settings' defaults and averages per combination
- /reprocessproperty [builtin|embree|hiprt] [toolbox|fast] [off|oidn], any

Check: run the migration on MySQL and SQLite; /reprocessproperty embree fast

Item::RemoveFromInventory ended with `delete this`, so every caller that still used the item afterwards (SetCount(0)
returning into its caller, loops that remove several items, proxies purged while their parent is handled) touched
freed memory. The inventory now takes the removed item and frees it at the inventory component's next update, or
with the inventory.
Check in game: sell, drop, delete, trade, mail and use up stacks (including the last of a stack); unequip and
remove an item set piece and a proxy-bearing item (rocket, modular car); donate items; nothing crashes and the
inventory shows the right counts after relogging.

The client's TacArcBehavior::DoHit (0x00fb10c0) writes the closest max-targets ids from a set, so ascending and
each once, then the action data per id in that same order; DoUnserializeBS (0x00fb26a0) reads them the same way and
skips empty ids. The server handled the targets in list order and skipped ids whose object it could not find
without reading their action data, so every later target read the wrong bits (several pirates under a Doom Slicer).
Handle now reads the action for every listed id in ascending order, and the server's own casts write ids and actions
in ascending order after picking the closest targets.
TacArcBehavior::Cast (0x00fb2d10): a picked target that passes the filter gets the action with no TacArc data (the
server's own cast now calculates that action instead of handling it); otherwise the target is dropped, and an arc
measured from the target's position writes nothing.
Check in game: Doom Slicer and multi-target katanas on groups of pirates/admirals damage each of them; apes still
take damage during their stun; enemies with arc attacks (apes, Maelstrom horsemen) still hit players.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The client's AreaOfEffectBehavior::Cast (0x004ec590) writes every target id, then runs and writes the action once
per unique target in ascending id order. The server ran it for every listed target in list order, so a target
listed twice (the caster with a magnet, Everlasting items' refill) was handled twice, and later targets' data was
read against the wrong target. Handle and the server's own Calculate now go through the unique ids in ascending
order. Check: Thumpin' Bass / Flowin' MC refill once; Shinobi charge with a magnet gives imagination once; area
attacks on several enemies still hit each of them.

Venture vision from an equipped item was sent while the character loaded, before the client's UI existed, so after a
login the minimap stayed empty until the item was equipped again (a world transfer keeps the UI, so it worked

Venture Vision helmet, log out and back in: the minimap shows the icons.

Members' clients read the chat text up to a terminating zero, as the client itself sends it; /g sent the text

The world side of guilds (docs/Guilds.md):
- TMP_GUILD_CREATE, which the client's guild create box sends to its world, goes to the chat server as GUILD_CREATE.
- The character component reads the character's guild from the database when it loads (instead of the old unused "gn"
and "gid" charxml attributes) and takes GUILD_GET_STATUS from the chat server; a change is serialized once (the
client redraws the name billboard every time it reads a guild name). A name waiting for moderation isn't shown.
- Slash commands (the client has none for guilds): /g and /guild (guild chat; the client's guild tab sends /g, which
goes through the chat filter and mute like zone chat, then to the chat server as channel 10), /guildcreate (opens the
create box with DisplayGuildCreateBox), /gkick, /grank <name> <officer|veteran|recruit>, /gleader and
/gdisband confirm.
- The Guild Master script (LOT 3001, L_GUILD_CREATE.lua: using it opens the create box). Live never placed it; GMs
can spawn it.
Check in game (two accounts, a client with a FeatureGating row "guilds", 1, 0, 0 in its cdclient.fdb): /guildcreate,
make a guild (the name shows under yours, the guild button appears on the status bar); invite the second character
from the guild window, accept, both lists show both; guild chat tab; /grank, /gkick, /gleader; leave from the window;
log the second character out and in (guildmate logged off/in lines).

Connects GuildManager to the chat server (ChatGuilds): the client's GUILD_INVITE, GUILD_INVITE_RESPONSE, GUILD_LEAVE
and GUILD_GET_ALL (routed through its world), the worlds' GUILD_CREATE, GUILD_KICK, GUILD_SET_RANK and GUILD_DISBAND,
guild chat (GENERAL_CHAT_MESSAGE in channel 10, sent to the online members as channel 10 private chat, which the
client's guild tab shows, and logged as "guild"), guildmates told when a member logs in, out or changes worlds, and a
member's pending invite dropped when they log off. Client packets go through the member's world as WorldRoutePacket;
GUILD_GET_STATUS goes to the world itself.
Guild names: the chat filter's deny list refuses a name (dChatFilter::HasDenyList, since without a deny list the deny
check refuses everything); a name the allow list doesn't cover waits for moderation, as pet names do.
The dashboard's new player action GUILD_CHANGED goes from master to the chat server only (answered 1 when chat is
connected), which catches online members up. chatconfig.ini: guild_max_members (100) and guild_invite_timeout (600
seconds).
Check in game: nothing yet on its own (the world side makes guilds reachable). Server log: the chat server starts and
logs no unhandled guild packets.

The guild packets of the 1.10.64 client (docs/Guilds.md) as Serialize/Deserialize structs, laid out the way the client's

_CONFIRM, GUILD_ADD_PLAYER, GUILD_REMOVE_PLAYER, GUILD_LOGIN_LOGOUT and GUILD_DATA (ClientPackets), the world packet
TMP_GUILD_CREATE the create box sends, the chat packets the client sends through its world (GUILD_INVITE,
GUILD_INVITE_RESPONSE, GUILD_LEAVE, GUILD_GET_ALL), DLU's world <-> chat packets (GUILD_CREATE, GUILD_KICK,
GUILD_GET_STATUS as the chat server's guild update to a world, and GUILD_SET_RANK and GUILD_DISBAND appended to
MessageType::Chat after CREATE_TEAM) and the game message DisplayGuildCreateBox (626). Fixed-size names always keep a
NUL, since the client reads them as C strings. Enums eGuildCreateResponse, eGuildInviteResponse,
eGuildInviteFinalResponse, eGuildRank and eGuildLeaveReason. Nothing sends them yet.
Check: GuildPacketsTests compares every packet with the bytes at the client's offsets. Nothing to check in game.

Live wrote the item component's UGC info on every construction of an
object with an item component (99 of 99 constructions of LOT 14535, a
possessable with item, skill and controllable physics and no Objects row:
ug_id 0, moderation status NoStatus, no description). DLU wrote a 0 bit.
The item component is read after the skill and base-combat-AI components
(ComponentOrderVector::Initialize 0x0101f8e0; live constructions of LOT 14535
have Skill then Item). DLU wrote it before the inventory, which did not show while
it was a single 0 bit next to the skill's 0 bit, but would misalign every
component after it now that it writes more. It now comes after
BASE_COMBAT_AI. The ReplicaComponentOrderTests oracle moves the item the same
way (intended change).
Test: ReplicaConstructionTest.ItemConstructionWritesEmptyUgcInfo,
ReplicaComponentOrderTest.EveryListedComponent (oracle updated).
Check in game: with a second player watching, use a possessable / mount /
vehicle item (e.g. a racing car in the race lobby); it appears, moves and
is left normally for both. Rocket launches and property models look as before.

The client reads an object's factions only from the DestructibleComponent
factionList (LWODestroyableComponent::LoadDataFromTemplate 0x00c9f900: one
atol per comma-separated token, -1 kept; the faction column is not read),
and live replicated that list: [-1] on 12,829 constructions (vendors,
quickbuilds, bouncers). DLU added the faction column and dropped -1,
so those objects were sent with no factions, and the four rows with faction 6
but factionList "-1" were sent as [6].
-1 has no Factions row, so it adds no friends or enemies.
Test: ReplicaConstructionTest.TemplateFactionMinusOneIsReplicated.

Live's simple-physics constructions (40,786 in the captures):
- Motion type Fixed (5) for objects without a motionType (38,970). DLU read
the level's motionType and, when there was none, sent 0, a value the
client's motion-type enum does not have.
- Keyframed (4) for every moving platform (1,059 of 1,059) and for models
without behaviors; Dynamic (1) for models with behaviors (655 of 666 model
constructions follow this; DLU only switched it when a behavior was added
or removed).
- No velocity for fixed objects (all 38,970); keyframed and dynamic objects
have one. DLU wrote a velocity in every construction.
A level-set motionType still wins.
Test: ReplicaConstructionTest.SimplePhysicsConstructionLikeLive (values of a
captured smashable, LOT 12266); the existing SimplePhysicsTest bytes are

Check in game: moving platforms (AG, GF, NS, NT), spinners and other

Live wrote the controllable-physics cheat block (gravity scale, speed
multiplier) in a construction only when one of them differed from 1: 216 of
20,617 constructions had it (players at run speed 1.05 / 1.5 / 2.0 / 0.5,
enemies with gravity 0), never 1 and 1. DLU wrote it in every construction.
Serializations are unchanged.
Test: ReplicaConstructionTest.ControllablePhysicsConstructionWritesCheatsOnlyWhenChanged.
Check in game: with a second player watching, use a speed boost (or /setspeed)

Equipped items in the inventory component construction, as live wrote
them (49,534 equipped items in the captures):
- is_bound is the item's bound state (false for 2,990 items that bind
neither way); DLU always wrote true. NPC items are bound when the item
binds on pickup or on equip (2,640 of 2,640).
- inventory_type is the item's inventory, left out for ITEMS: TempEquip for
temporary equips and proxies (3,899), Model for models (232). DLU never
wrote it. DLU keeps player proxies in ITEM_SETS; they are sent as
TEMP_ITEMS, like live.
- An NPC item's slot is its slot in the inventory it would be in: models
count from 0 in MODELS and proxies from 0 in TEMP_ITEMS, so a proxy no
longer takes the next ITEMS slot (1,475 of 1,491 NPC constructions match;
DLU's numbering matched 1,352).
- equipped_model_transforms is an empty list on every construction (11,214
of 11,214); DLU wrote none.
Test: InventoryConstructionTest.NpcItemsLikeLive (NPCs 7426 and 13790 from
the captures), InventoryConstructionTest.PlayerItemsLikeLive.
Check in game: NPCs with gear (Numb Chuck in FV, the Ninjago ninjas, faction

proxies (ninja hoods, capes) and temporary equips (Maelstrom vacuum, quest

Live wrote all three optional blocks of the character component in every
player construction (9,726 LOT 1 constructions: gm_pvp_info with is_gm
false and gm_level 0 for civilians, current_activity Some(None) on 9,620,
social_info always Some with guild 0 and an empty name). DLU wrote each one
only after something set its dirty flag, so civilians got none of them.
Serializations are unchanged (still only when dirty).
Writing the social block every time exposed two bugs in it: the guild ID
was never initialized (now 0), and the guild name was written with
sizeof(wchar_t) (4 on Linux) bits per character, reading past the end of
the UTF-16 string; it is now written as 16-bit characters.
Test: ReplicaConstructionTest.CharacterConstructionAlwaysWritesGmActivityAndSocialBlocks.
Check in game: log in as a civilian and as a GM, with a second player
watching; both see each other normally (name tags, GM tag/level for the
GM, no PvP flag), and starting a quickbuild or pet taming still shows the
activity to the other player.

Live sent the milliseconds since the object was created on the server in
every construction header (nonzero in 142,258 of 145,677 captured
constructions; the same object constructed again later carries a larger
value by the time elapsed; the local player's own construction on load is
0). DLU always wrote 0. The client stores it in the object's config
(LWOGameObject::time_since_created_on_server).
Entities now remember when they were created (steady clock) and write
their age.
Test: ReplicaConstructionTest.TimeSinceCreatedOnServerIsTheObjectsAge.
Check in game: zone in and walk around several worlds; objects, NPCs,
enemies and other players appear and animate as before (no objects
popping, stuck or misplaced animations on platforms/spinners).

DownloadPropertyData sent the same zonePosition (548, 406, 178) and a
maxBuildHeight of 128 for every property. Both now come from the
property's PropertyTemplate row (zoneX/zoneY/zoneZ, maxBuildHeight), the
same row the template ID, vendor map and spawn name already come from.
A map with no row still sends the old values.
Live rows: Avant Gardens small (1150) keeps 548/406/178 and 128; Avant
Gardens medium (1151) is 428/413/82 with a build height of 256; the
Nimbus Station (1250, 1251), Gnarled Forest (1350) and Forbidden Valley
(1450) properties get their own positions with 128.
Check in game: on the medium Avant Gardens property (1151) models can be
placed higher than before (up to 256), and on the small one (1150) the
limit is unchanged; on the other worlds' properties the property screens
(plaque, news/claim UI) still show and building works as before.

Live sent the launchpad's FireEventClientSide("RocketEquipped") to every
client in the zone: 1,196 of 1,265 captured were other players'
launches. On each client it starts that player's launch
(LWORocketLaunchComponentCommon::msgFireEventClientSide sends
BeginLaunch to the sender), so others see the rocket take off; DLU sent
it only to the launcher. param1 is the property clone for property
launches (7 of 7 equal the clone in the following TransferToZone) and
param2 the picked world of a LUP entrance (0-3, one pad only).
The capture notes read the RocketEquipped and ChangeObjectWorldState
seen before LEVEL_LOAD_COMPLETE as the arriving player's own rocket:
all 21 are other players launching (their sender is never the loading
player), so arrival itself is left as it is.
Check: with two players at a launchpad, launch one: the other sees the
rocket launch animation; launch to a property and to a LUP world and
land in the right place.

Live sent, right before TRANSFER_TO_WORLD on every rocket launch (131
captured): NotifyClientFlagChange(32, true), TransferToZone
(check_transfer_allowed, the target map, the landing spawn point, the
clone only for properties, no position or rotation),
TransferToZoneCheckedIM (no queue) and NotifyClientFlagChange(32,
false). DLU went straight to TRANSFER_TO_WORLD.
In the client TransferToZone runs the civilian INVALIDMAPTRANSFERLIST
check, and TransferToZoneCheckedIM pauses the player's controls, starts
the target zone's loading screen and leaves the gameplay state
(LWOCharacterComponent, cases TransferToZone and
TransferToZoneCheckedIM). They are sent from the transfer callback, so
a failed zone request never leaves the client paused. Instance exits
through a message box used TransferToLastNonInstance in live instead
and are not changed here.
Check: launch rockets to Nimbus Station, Gnarled Forest and your
property: controls lock and the destination's loading screen shows as
the rocket leaves, and you land at the usual spawn point.

Live pushed a mail NotificationResponse (NewMail, the unread count)
right after the respawn checkpoint in loads where the player had
unread mail, without the client asking (e.g. a new character's first
load: ServerDoneLoadingAllObjects, PlayerReachedRespawnCheckpoint,
NotifyMissionTask, MAIL). DLU had that call commented out, so the
mailbox icon only lit up once the client asked or new mail arrived.
It is sent only when there is unread mail (inferred: the 223 captured
loads without one are loads without unread mail; only 3 of 226 loads
carry it).
Check: send a character mail, log it out and back in without opening
the mailbox: the new-mail indicator shows right after loading; a
character with no unread mail shows none.

Live sent PlayerReachedRespawnCheckpoint right after
ServerDoneLoadingAllObjects on 143 of 157 captured loads, with a
rotation: the spawn point the player arrived at, or a checkpoint they
had reached before. DLU sent it before constructing the zone's objects,
only when a checkpoint was saved for the zone, and always unrotated.
It now goes right after ServerDoneLoadingAllObjects on every load: the
saved checkpoint when there is one (DLU saves no rotation for it, so
that one stays unrotated), otherwise the position and facing the
player loaded in at. Inferred: that the loaded-in spot matches live's
spawn point choice (live's is the spawn point object, a few tenths of
a unit from the player's start).
Check: log in fresh to a zone, die before touching any checkpoint and
respawn: you come back where you arrived, facing the same way; reach
a checkpoint, change zones and come back, die: you respawn at that
checkpoint.

Live answered PlayerLoaded with PlayerReady to the player and then a
second PlayerReady to the zone control object (0x3FFFFFFFFFFE), both
to the loading client: 235 of 237 captured loads carry exactly that
pair. DLU sent only the first. The zone control object's client-side
zone scripts are what can react to it (inferred: the client's
component handlers only act on the player's own PlayerReady).
Check: load into Avant Gardens, Nimbus Station, a property and an
instance (a survival or dragon battle): the zone plays its intro,
music and UI as before and nothing is stuck waiting.

Live sent the player ModifyPlayerZoneStatistic(set false, value 1, the
current map) for "QuickBuildsCompleted" (227) after a quickbuild's
EnableRebuild and for "AchievementsCompleted" (186) at the end of an
achievement's completion. DLU counted both server side (they are saved
and shown at the next load) but never told the client, so the zone
summary only caught up after a zone change. The client counts
enemies, coins and bricks itself and sends those to the server.
Check: complete a quickbuild and an achievement, then open the zone
summary (passport / map zone stats) without changing zones: both
counts went up by one.

Live sent SetStunned to every dead object with a combat AI in the
packet right after its Die: 7,098 of 7,105 such deaths (7,424 decoded
stuns, all the same: no originator, push, can't attack, move or turn,
ignore immunity). Objects without combat AI (smashables, 9,393 deaths)
never got one. DLU sent none, so a dying enemy could keep turning or
start an attack while its death plays.
Check: kill enemies mid-attack and while they chase you; they stop
moving, turning and attacking the moment they die, and the death and
loot still play normally.

Live sent duration 0.0 in all 744 successful EnableRebuild (cancels
carry the time spent building, which DLU already matches); DLU sent
the reset time.
Tests get EntityManager::_addEntity/_removeEntity to make an entity
built outside CreateEntity findable, and helpers that read game
messages back out of captured packets.
Check: finish a quickbuild; the build completes, the celebrate
animation plays and the built object stays up for its usual time
before resetting.

Live DropClientLoot (12,501 decoded): use_position is set only when a
player is the source (1,432, all activity rewards such as the dragon,
Frakjaw and BONS chests); drops from enemies, smashables and chests
leave it clear, so the client spawns the loot at the source object as
it sees it and falls back to spawn_position only if that object is
gone (LWODestroyableComponent::GetLootSpawnPos). Coins land where they
spawn (final = spawn in all 3,158 coin drops); items land 10 units
away (median 9.998, uniform direction) at spawn height. DLU always set
use_position and scattered everything 4.2 units away.
Inferred: the 10-unit rule for player-sourced items (live spread there
ranges 0-58 units, source unknown).
Check: kill enemies and smash crates: coins pop out of the object,
items fly about 10 units away; open an activity chest (e.g. after a
dragon or Frakjaw) and the loot still appears around you.

Live filled SetCurrency's source fields per source type (16,816 decoded
live SetCurrency): pickups carry the position the client picked the
coins up at (the one in its PickupCurrency) and no source; mission,
achievement and activity rewards name the player (object and LOT 1);
vendor buys, sells and buybacks name the vendor and its LOT; trades
carry the trade ID; death, mail and everything else name nothing. No
live SetCurrency sets loot_type. DLU wrote a present source LOT of 0,
no object and a zero position for all of them.
The position is the one the client uses: for pickups it projects it to
the screen as the start of the coin counter animation
(LWOCharacterComponent::SetCurrency), so it started from the world
origin before. PickupCurrency now reads that position (the client
always sends it). The trade ID is an 8-byte object ID in the client;
DLU declared it 4 bytes, which only never broke because it was never
set.
Check: pick up coins and watch the coin counter animate from where the
coins were; buy and sell at a vendor, finish a mission and trade coins
with another player, and the coin total updates each time.
