The client reads a spawner path's fields (LOT, respawn time, counts,
object ID) and a camera path's next path and rotate-player flag only
when the path is newer than version 3 (LevelPath::FromBuffer, 1.10.64:
pathVersion > 3). The reader read them for every version, which would
misread an older spawner or camera path from there on.
No zone file on disk has a spawner or camera path older than version 4,
so what they read is unchanged.
Check in game: nothing to check (no live zone changes).

The client reads a zone file's paths as a chunk of its own
(LuzFile::ReadLUZFile copies the u32-sized chunk, ReadLUZPaths reads
it, 1.10.64) and drops every path when it refuses any of it:
- a chunk version of 2 or more, or 10000 paths or more (ReadLUZPaths);
- a path of version 19 or more, 10000 waypoints or more, or a
waypoint with more than 99 name/value pairs (LevelPath::FromBuffer).
The reader read the paths straight from the file, trusting the chunk to
be well formed. It now reads the chunk by its size, reads the paths
from it with the client's limits, and when one is refused the zone has
no paths (logged), while the rest of the zone file still reads.
Every zone file on disk reads the same paths as before.
The unit tests' sample zones now give the path chunk its real length.
Check in game: moving platforms, NPC patrols and spawners work as
before on every world.

Scene transitions of versions 34-38 have five points. The client links
the scenes of the first and the last one (ZoneLoader::ReadZoneFile,
1.10.64: points[0] and points[count - 1], for every version); the scene
graph used the first two, so in those zones it linked a scene with the
one of the transition's second point instead.
Of the 130 five-point transitions on disk, six (all in one older client
zone) have a different scene at the second and last points; the rest
link the same scenes as before.
Live zones are unchanged.

LuzReader::ReadScenes (1.10.64) keeps a zone's scenes by scene ID and
layer, so a later scene with the same ID and layer replaces an earlier
one. ZoneLoader::ReadZoneFile then goes through them in scene ID order
and
- leaves out every layer of a scene ID that has no layer 0 (General)
scene;
- before version 41 loads only the layer 0 scene of each ID; from 41 on
the other layers (Audio, FX) are loaded with it.
ZoneFile now keeps the scenes the same way, so the world loads the same
scenes as the client. No zone file on disk has a duplicate, a scene
without a General layer, or a non-General layer before version 41, and
their scenes are already in ID order: what every file reads is
unchanged.

Zone files before version 33 have no scene IDs. The client gives each
scene its index in the file as its ID, -1 past 255, with layer 0
(LuzReader::ReadScenes, 1.10.64, via the LWOSceneID from the loop
index); the reader left every such scene at ID 0, so a zone with several
scenes had them all collide on one ID.
The version 30 zones on disk have one scene each, so what they read is
unchanged.
Check in game: nothing to check on live worlds (all are version 36+).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Zone files older than version 30 were refused. The client reads them
(1.10.64):
- LuzFile::ReadLUZFile reads a version below 20 as 20;
- LuzReader::ReadScenes reads a scene of a version 20-29 file as a bare
u32 SceneTable ID, with no file name;
- ZoneLoader::ReadZoneFile takes those scenes in SceneTable ID order,
looks each one up in the CDClient SceneTable and, when there is a
row, makes it a scene with the next index (0, 1, ...; -1 past 255) as
its ID and the row's sceneName as its file; a scene with no row is
left out.
ZoneFile now reads these files (FileFormatVersion::Oldest = 20 for
anything older), keeps the SceneTable ID on ZoneScene::sceneTableID,
and ZoneFile::ResolveSceneTable does the lookup the client does; the
world looks the names up in the CDClient SceneTable.
The only such file on disk (version 20) now reads.
Check in game: nothing to check on live worlds (all are version 36+).

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).

The chat server is the guild authority (docs/Guilds.md). GuildManager keeps guilds in the database (IGuilds) and tells
clients through their worlds, with every outside dependency behind hooks so the rules are tested without a server:
- Create: name rules (3-30 of letters, digits, space ' - ., no space at either end or twice), the chat filter's deny
list refuses a name (BAD_NAME), names not on the allow list make the guild but wait for moderation (other players see
no guild name until then), a taken name (case ignored) is EXISTS, someone in a guild can't make one.
- Invite / answer: leaders and officers invite; the client's answers for not online, already in a guild, invite pending
and could not invite; one invite per player, answerable for 10 minutes and gone when the player logs off; a full guild
(guild_max_members) takes nobody. The new member is a recruit; the inviter hears the answer and gets the list again,
the other members get GUILD_ADD_PLAYER.
- Leave, and DLU's kick, rank and disband (the client has no controls for them): the leader kicks anyone, officers kick
veterans and recruits; a leader who leaves hands the guild to the highest-ranked, longest-serving member, and the last
one out ends it. Rank changes send everyone the list again (the client's GuildSetPlayerRank does nothing).
- GUILD_DATA for GUILD_GET_ALL, login/logout/world-change updates to guildmates, a guild that lost its leader (character
deleted) gets one again, and GuildChanged catches online players up with what the dashboard did.
- Every change is a guild_events row. Each character's world gets GUILD_GET_STATUS with the guild and the name others
may see.
Not connected to the chat server's packets yet.
Check: GuildManagerTests (18 tests) run every rule against an in-memory IGuilds. Nothing to check in game yet.

The guild packets of the 1.10.64 client (docs/Guilds.md) as Serialize/Deserialize structs, laid out the way the client's
packet handlers read them: GUILD_CREATE_RESPONSE, GUILD_INVITE, GUILD_INVITE_INITIAL_RESPONSE, _FINAL_RESPONSE,
_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.

Four tables (MySQL migration 97, SQLite 80) and the IGuilds interface with MySQL, SQLite and TestSQL implementations,
for the guild system (docs/Guilds.md). A guild has a name (unique without regard to case), a name status like
pet_names (1 waiting for moderation, 2 approved), its founder and when it was made. A character is in at most one guild
(guild_members, with its rank: 1 leader, 2 officer, 3 veteran, 4 recruit, the client's names, and when it joined) and
has at most one pending invite (guild_invites). guild_events is each guild's history and outlives the guild. Deleting a
character removes its membership and the invites to and from it. Nothing uses the tables yet.
Check: both migrations run on a fresh and an existing database; DatabaseParityTests Guilds passes against MariaDB
(DLU_TEST_MYSQL_HOST) and SQLite gives the same results. Nothing to check in game.

A make's recorded time (process_ms, stats.json's ms.total) includes the
icon drawn at its end. Drawing only the icons again (the icon editor's
Draw all icons of this type again) left the stats and the rows with the
old icons' time. Now the icon-only job writes stats.json with the new
icon's time (ms.icon, ms.total changed by the difference,
UgcJobs::WithIconTime) and the main thread changes the row's process_ms
and process_cpu_ms by the same difference (the icon is drawn on one
thread, so its time is taken as its CPU time). The dashboard's Took,
CPU and totals follow.
Check: open a player model on the UGC page, Draw all icons of this type
again: afterwards its Took changes by the icon's difference and its
stats show the new icon time.

The UGC page's assemblies (cars and rockets) list had its own columns.
It now has the models' columns and sorts, minus Saved: ID and Owner (the
newest build and its creator, and how many other owners), State, Made,
Took, CPU and RAM (the latest make of any build, and the cost of the make
the UGC server did for the combination; builds that shared the made icon
cost nothing), Size (the module count), File (the build type and its
modules) and Where (how many builds and owners use it, opening
References). The gallery sorts the same way.
Check: UGC page, Cars and rockets, List: every column sorts both ways on
the server, and the gallery's sort list has the same sorts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Cars and rockets built before builds were recorded were saved with
subkey 0 and have no ugc_modular_build row, so the client has no
blueprint id to ask for their icon with. The runtime fix only reaches
characters that load again.
Migrations mysql 98 and sqlite 81 (98/81 because the guilds work takes
97/80) run ModularBuildIdMigration after the SQL: every saved item with
modules (x@ma) and no subkey gets what a new build gets, as the
character-load fix does: a persistent id from object_id_tracker (with
the character bit) as its subkey and a ugc_modular_build row with its
modules and the character as owner. The XML is written with
UpdateCharacterXml. Tried on a copy of a server's database with a
couple of thousand such items: every one got an id and a build row, in
seconds.
Check: after the migration, old cars and rockets show their icons in the
backpack (the UGC server makes them like any build) and still work
(equip, race, launch).

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.
Check in game: vendors, quickbuilds, bouncers and NPCs still can't be
attacked; enemies still fight players and pets; smashables still smash.

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
unchanged.
Check in game: moving platforms (AG, GF, NS, NT), spinners and other
simple-physics objects move and collide as before; smashables and static
objects stay put; on a property, placed models with and without behaviors
sit and run as before, including after picking them up and placing again.

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)
and zone in while boosted; the other player sees you move at the right
speed. Enemies with gravity 0 (e.g. Sentinel Turret 6254) behave as before.

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
vendors) show all their gear; your own and other players' equipped items,
proxies (ninja hoods, capes) and temporary equips (Maelstrom vacuum, quest
items) show normally after zoning and after equipping/unequipping.

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).

LWOSCENEID and LWOSCENEID_INVALID move from dCommonVars.h to
dZoneManager/LWOSCENEID.h; only the zone code uses them. The layer half
is the scene's layer, now the new eSceneType (dCommon/dEnums) instead of
a uint32_t: General (0), Audio (1, the *_audio.lvl scenes named
"Audio") and FX (2, Nexus Tower's *_fxs.lvl scenes named "FXs"), the
three layers the zone files of every client on disk use. ZoneScene's
sceneType is an eSceneType too, so a scene's LWOSCENEID is built from it
directly, and the dashboard compares against eSceneType::General instead
of 0. The zone checksum still hashes the layer's number.
Check in game: every world loads (the zone checksum the client checks is
unchanged), Nexus Tower included.

ClientZoneFilesTests reads every .luz and .lvl under DLU_CLIENTS_DIR
(default ~/Documents/luclients) and expects each to read in full; the
tests are skipped when no client is there. Left out: empty files, sd0
files (the loose sd0 files of the 1.7.45 and 1.9.76 clients are all cut
up after their second chunk; the server gets its files uncompressed from
the packs) and one damaged scene file, which claims 81 objects
in 910 bytes.
With the zone and scene reader fixes before this every file of the
0.179.12, 1.7.45, 1.9.76, 1.10.64 and unpacked clients

Two fields of the scene files from before chunks were read for versions
the client does not read them for (SceneLoader::ReadLvlFile, 1.10.64):
- the "important" byte after the version and type is there only from
version 32 (SceneLoader::ReadLvlHeader, 0x010117d0: headerVersion < 32 sets it to 0);
- the five strings after the skydome's file are there only from version
34 (SceneLoader::ReadSkydomeInfo, 0x0102f550: headerVersion > 33); the reader took
them from version 33.
Seven scenes of the alpha leak (versions 31 and 33: Gnarled_assetsMIKET,
dennis_gnarled_forest_02/_03-ninja/_03-pirate_0, scale_TEST_2,
scale_test_2_0, scale_test_general) now read with all their objects.
Every other scene file on disk reads the same objects as before.

The client reads a spawner path's activateOnLoad byte only when the
path is newer than version 8 (LevelPath::FromBuffer, 1.10.64:
pathVersion > 8) and otherwise keeps its default of 1
(Path::InitializeSpawnerInfo). The reader read the byte for every
version, which would misread an older spawner path from there on, and
its default was 0. The byte is now read from version 9, and an older
path's spawner is active on load as in the client.
No zone file on disk has a spawner path older than version 9, so what
the world spawns is unchanged.
Check in game: nothing to check (spawners on live worlds are unchanged).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Paths before version 3 are laid out differently (LevelPath::FromBuffer,
1.10.64: pathVersion < 3):
- the type is a u8-length wide string, "platform" for a moving platform
and anything else ("npc") for a movement path, instead of a u32;
- the flags and behavior u32s follow as in later versions;
- every waypoint, whatever the path's type, has a rotation, lock player
byte, speed and wait time and then its name/value pairs.
The reader treated the type name's first bytes as the type and misread
everything after it. The LUP group zones of the 0.179.12
client (lup_group_1b, _2a, _6a) now read with all their paths; one of
them read before with a garbage type on a waypoint-less path. Every
other zone reads the same as before (no live zone has a path older than
version 3).
Check in game: nothing to check on live worlds.

The client reads a zone's name and description only when the file is
newer than version 30 (LuzFile::ReadLUZFile, 1.10.64: revision > 0x1e);
a version 30 file ends at its terrain file's name. The reader read both
strings for every version, so version 30 files ran off their end.
The four version 30 zones of the alpha leak (scale_TEST_ASSETS,
Gnarled_assetsMIKET, dennis_gnarled_forest_02/_03-ninja) now read. Some
of them have a stray name string after the terrain file's name, which
the client does not read either. Every newer file reads the same as
before.
Check in game: nothing to check on live worlds (none is version 30).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Before version 30 (PrePreAlpha) a zone file's scene is only a u32 scene
ID, with no scene file name (LuzReader::ReadScenes, 1.10.64:
revision < 30 reads the ID alone; LuzFile::ReadLUZFile treats anything
below 20 as 20). The reader read a file name and then an ID for those
versions, which is not the format, and the world could not load such a
zone's scenes anyway. Reading one now throws a runtime_error that says
why, before anything else is read.
No zone file of any client on disk is older than 30 except an unnamed
editor stub (a res/.luz, version 20).
Check in game: every world loads as before.

The scene count is a u8 before version 37 (LateAlpha) and a u32 from 37
on (LuzFile::ReadLUZFile, 1.10.64: revision < 37 reads a byte). The
reader took the u8 for 37 too, so version 37 files misread from their
scenes on and failed.
No live zone is version 37; four older LUP zones
now read in full.
Every other zone file on disk reads the same as before.
Check in game: nothing to check on live worlds (none is version 37).

Between the scenes and the terrain file's name a zone file has its
boundary lines: a u8 count, then per line a normal, a point, the
destination zone, the destination scene ID and a spawn location. The
reader took that spot for a u8-length "zone path" string, which is the
same bytes only when there are no boundaries; a zone with boundaries
would have misread everything after it.
The destination is one u32 in the client (LuzReader::ReadZoneBoundaryLines,
0x01018490 in 1.10.64: map ID in bits 0-15, instance ID in bits 16-31,
clone 0), read here as two u16s into an LWOZONEID with clone 0. The
boundaries are kept on ZoneFile::zoneBoundaries.
No zone of the 1.10.64 client (or any other client on disk) has
boundary lines, so what is read from them is unchanged.
Check in game: every world loads and zone transfers (launch pads,
rockets, portals) work 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

Before private (7), team (8) and local team (10) chat the client asks
the chat server for the minimum chat mode of the channel
(LWOChatComponent::RequestMinimumChatMode; it answers every other
channel itself) and hands the answer to its chat UI. DLU never
answered. Live answered chat mode 0 with the requested channel (74 of
74 team answers in the captures: 53 05 00 39 00 00 00 00 00 08).
The chat server now answers with the lowest chat mode among who reads
the channel (the sender and their online teammates, or the sender and
the recipient), using the GM level as the chat mode as DLU does
everywhere else; the private answer also echoes the recipient's name
and GM level (0 when offline). Inferred: the minimum for GMs (no live
GM sample) and the answer when the recipient is offline.
Check: type in team chat and whisper another player: the messages send
as before and the chat box shows no error; do the same with a GM in
the team.

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.

Live filled Die's direction_relative_angle_xz, _angle_y and _force on
11,606 of 19,428 deaths. The values are the dir_angle_xz, dir_angle_y
(degrees, sent as radians) and dir_force parameters of the BasicAttack
that dealt the killing blow: per killing skill the triple is constant
(skill 1210: -25 degrees, force 12 on 540 of 549 kills; skill 10:
force 7 on 1,830 of 1,835), and deaths with no killer (5,948) never
have one. BasicAttack is the only behavior with these parameters apart
from one Grab. The client passes them to PerformSmashableDeath, which
throws the smashable's pieces that way; DLU sent 0.
The radians are rounded the way live did (-25 is 0xbedf66f3, 20 is
0x3eb2b8c3). Not covered: use_caster_velocity (one behavior, racing).
Check: smash crates and enemies with different weapons; the pieces fly
off to the side/up per weapon instead of straight out.

Live sent client_death=false on every Die, players included (19,428 in
the live captures, 452 of them player deaths); DLU sent true for
players. The client only uses the flag to match a death it already
predicted locally (LWODestroyableComponent::msgDie): with it set, a
Die that arrives while a post-death respawn is pending is dropped.
Check: die to an enemy, to falling and to a quickbuild trap; the death
animation, coin loss and respawn prompt all still appear, and other
players see you die.

Live sends used_mouse false, no caster latency, no clicked position and
a zero originator rotation (present, all four components 0) in every
echo: 78,841 of 78,841 in the live captures, player and server casts
alike. DLU forwarded the casting client's values and wrote the caster's
facing for server casts. The client copies the rotation into its local
StartSkill (LWOSkillComponent::msgEchoStartSkill), which is why a real
rotation made power-up pickups jitter; the per-call override that
worked around that is no longer needed and is removed.
Check: with two players, attack, use a thrown or ranged item and pick
up power-ups; the other player sees the same animations and the
caster no longer snaps or jitters.

EventGating (eventName, date_start, date_end; 8 rows) is only in the
CDClient for the server: the 1.10.64 client has no string for it. The
dates are Unix times (UTC), inclusive: pirateDay 2011-09-19 00:00 to
2011-09-20 23:59:59 (Talk Like a Pirate Day), buildNexusTower 2010-03-09
to 2011-03-14, buildNexusTowerEnd, frostburgh2010_notused and test rows.
The live Lua asked for an event with GetHolidayEvent{eventToCheck =
name}.isValid; the only callers are the Crux Prime random spawners
(L_BASE_RANDOM_SPAWNER.lua, L_AM_ZONE_SERVER.lua), whose only event is
pirateDay. DLU's BaseRandomServer::CheckEvents was a TODO.
- CDEventGatingTable loads the table; HolidayEvents::IsActive(name) is
true while the dates include now, or when event_1..event_8 names the
event (every live date is in 2010/2011, so this is how a server turns
one on; the same settings already switch gatingOnFeature objects).
- BaseRandomServer::CheckEvents: during pirateDay the str and zip areas
use the event loads from the Lua (80%: 5 pirates on each of type1-3,
20%: 5 admirals each; multipliers secA 1, secB 1, secC 1.2 for str).
Inferred: every spawner's Lua put the whole {str, zip} table in its
zones, which its getRandomLoad walks with ipairs and so finds no load;
DLU uses each table for the area it names, as L_AM_ZONE_SERVER.lua's
layout intends.
- sharedconfig.ini says event_N also takes EventGating names.
Check in game: with event_2=pirateDay in sharedconfig.ini, the Crux Prime
areas filled by the str and zip random spawners (spawner networks
em_str_* and em_zip_*) spawn only Maelstrom pirates and admirals; the
other two areas and a server without the setting spawn the usual mix.

CollectibleComponent (79 rows: id, requirement_mission) is only in the
CDClient for the server: the 1.10.64 client has no string for it. DLU
never read it.
What the column holds (1.10.64 CDClient, joined with ComponentsRegistry,
Missions and MissionTasks): for 63 rows it is the mission the collectible
belongs to. Mostly that is the achievement whose collection task
(taskType 3) targets the collectible's LOT (the flags, imagination bricks,
Johnny Thunder collectibles). For a few it is a mission to accept from an
NPC that does not collect the item itself: the four Ninjago dragon relics
(16483-16485) are collected by the hidden achievements 2064-2067 but
their requirement is 2040 (accepted from LOT 13789, "complete 2064-2067").
Other values: -1 and 66666666 (no such mission) on test rows.
So a collectible whose requirement_mission is a mission to accept
(Missions.isMission) now only counts (HasBeenCollected progresses
nothing) while the player has that mission accepted and not handed in
(ACTIVE, READY_TO_COMPLETE or their repeat states). Achievements, missing
missions and rows without one are unchanged. Without this, a player who
had not accepted 2040 could collect the relics early and have 2040
complete as soon as it was accepted. The gate itself is inferred from the
data: the captures show collections but not the live server's check.
The collectible's object report shows the requirement mission.
Check in game: in Ninjago Monastery, before accepting the dragon relic
mission (2040), touch a dragon relic: it does not count; accept 2040 and
collect them: each counts and 2040 completes after the fourth. Flags,
imagination bricks and Johnny Thunder collectibles still count as before.

The client reads <pet a> as its active pet's database ID with
GetInt64Attribute (LWOPetControlComponent::LoadFromSaveData 0x00c18120);
DLU never wrote it. Live wrote a="0" on every character (226 live
charxmls, 45 with pets): the charxml is only read when the player loads,
before any pet is out, and a pet summoned afterwards registers itself
(RegisterPetDBID). So a is written as 0.
The pet taming type p@t stays 0 as DLU already wrote it: it is an int
(IntAttribute), the client sets it to 0 for every pet it is given
(AddPetToPlayer in LWOPetControlComponent::HandleMessage 0x00d0fe00,
which ignores the message's elemental type) and every live pet had t="0".
Commented so it isn't "fixed" later.
Check in game: with a tamed pet, summon it, change zones and log out and
back in: the pet menu and pet naming work as before and no pet is shown
as out until you summon one.

The client reads the cooldowns still running from the charxml on load
(LWOSkillComponent::LoadFromSaveData 0x00c2a9c0): <skil sc="..."> split
on ';' and ':' (the delimiter string at 0x015b1714 is L";:") into a
cooldown group and the seconds left, each put in its cooldown map under
{hasCooldownGroup = 1, group}, the key it checks when the player casts a
skill of that group (0x00c11400). Live wrote <skil/> with nothing running
and e.g. <skil sc="17:15.6958;"/> otherwise (226 live charxmls; groups
8, 17 and 78 seen, the times below the groups' SkillBehavior cooldowns).
The claude-client-re-docs page described sc as "id;time" pairs; the
live saves and the delimiters show "group:time;".
DLU wrote no <skil>, so relogging or changing zones cleared every
cooldown (e.g. the 90 s imagination and faction skills).
- A player's successful cast (CastPlayerSkill) starts its
SkillBehavior.cooldowngroup's cooldown (groups 0 and up, cooldown > 0),
counted down in Update.
- Saved as live wrote it; loaded back when the player's SkillComponent
is created, so a cooldown survives several zone changes. Old saves
without <skil> load with none running.
Check in game: use a skill with a long cooldown (e.g. a faction kit's
special skill, a consumable with a cooldown), change zones or log out and
back in right away: its cooldown is still shown and counts down from
where it was (minus the loading time on the server).

LWOCharacterComponent sends ModifyGhostingDistance (1485: an optional
fDistanceScalar, default 1) on load. All 239 live packets were
the single byte 00 (default scale), so there is nothing for the server to
change; it was logged as an unknown game message. It is now read and
ignored.
Check in game: nothing changes; the world server log no longer has
"Received Unknown GM ... 1485" on each load.

The client's rail activator sends RequestRailActivatorState (1479, no
payload) when it is added to the world (LWORailActivatorComponent::
SendMessage 0x00c00da0) and live answered with
NotifyRailActivatorStateChange (1478, bActive) to that client; the client
stores rail_activator_active and updates the rail's pick type (usable or
not). Live: 152 requests, 413 answers, every one bActive = true. DLU
dropped the request and never answered.
RailActivatorComponent keeps the level key rail_activator_active
(default true; every rail in the live levels sets it to 1) and the
request is answered with it.
Check in game: in Ninjago Monastery and Nimbus Station, rails (spinjitzu
posts, the Nexus Tower rails) show as usable and work as before when
first loading the world and after zone changes.
