Every game message still written or read by hand is now a NetGameMsg with
Serialize and Deserialize, in per-domain files:
- MovementMessages: teleport, platforms (resync and its request), orient to
angle, node rotation lock, gravity scale, jetpack mode, control scheme,
respawn checkpoint, rails (set/start, ready, cancel, arrived), mount
inventory ID, dismount complete, possession ack, ghost reference override
and position, camera cycling (eCameraTargetCyclingMode moves here).
- ZoneMessages: player loaded (the old PLAYER_LOADED case), ready for
updates, player ready, restore to post load stats, server done loading,
invalid zone transfer list, zone summary display/dismissed, level
processing complete, object world state, and the localized announcement
WorldMigration wrote by hand.
- PlayerMessages: chat mode, GM level, LEGO score, currency, reputation,
GM invis, pickup currency, zone and player statistics, chat commands, bug
reports, verify ack.
- ObjectMessages: fire event client/server side, notify client
(zone) object, notify object, script network vars, failed preconditions,
terminate interaction, set name, request use, request server object info.
- QuickBuildMessages: notify state, enable, cancel.
- ActivityMessages gains match response/update/request, leaderboard request
and data, shooting gallery score/rotation/fire, activity state change.
- MissionMessages gains MissionDialogueCancelled (a no-op, as before).
The wire structs left in GameMessages.h move to their domains (tooltip and
emote to Effects, loot and item use to Inventory, model build to Building,
behavior sound to Property, skill sets to Skill) and gain the missing
direction. The dismount logic moves to PossessorComponent::OnDismountComplete.
Every inbound message is registered in the GameMessageHandler map; the
switch is gone, and GameMessages.cpp only holds the GameMsg/NetGameMsg base
code. Call sites build the structs (NotifyClientObject, TerminateInteraction,
Teleport, PlatformResync, FireEventClientSide, NotifyObject and
NotifyClientZoneObject get convenience constructors like PlayFXEffect).
Dead senders are dropped: SendSetShootingGalleryParams (no callers, field
order was a guess), SendTeamPickupItem (the struct already existed),
SendRequestActivitySummaryLeaderboardData (the struct covers it).
Verified with RemainingMessagesTests: every old Send* function is frozen
verbatim in Legacy/RemainingMessagesLegacy.h and compared byte for byte
(same bits, destination and broadcast flag) over grids of inputs; every old
Handle* read sequence is frozen as a Read* oracle and compared with the
struct's Deserialize; round trips, truncation and a golden packet.
PlayerLoaded (0x00dc36f0), SetGMLevel (0x00dd6230), MissionDialogueCancelled
(0x00d9cc10) and LocalizedAnnouncementServerToSingleClient (0x00f23c50)
were checked against the client. Behaviour notes: an inbound message that
fails to deserialize is dropped, so ParseChatMessage over MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH
is dropped instead of truncated, and PLAYER_LOADED / READY_FOR_UPDATES /
MISSION_DIALOGUE_CANCELLED now read their (unused) client fields.

Converts the combat messages to NetGameMsgs in CombatMessages.{h,cpp}:
Die, Resurrect, SetResurrectRestoreValues, SetPlayerAllowedRespawn
(SendToClient, as before), Knockback, SetStunned, SetStunImmunity,
SetStatusImmunity, AddBuff, RemoveBuff, AddRunSpeedModifier,
RemoveRunSpeedModifier and DeactivateBubbleBuffFromServer, and the
received RequestDie, RequestSmashPlayer, RequestResurrect, Resurrect,
ActivateBubbleBuff and DeactivateBubbleBuff. Smash and UnSmash move
here from GameMessages.h (Smash's ghostCapacity is ghostOpacity, the
client's name) and gain a Deserialize.
The callers (DestroyableComponent, BuffComponent,
ControllablePhysicsComponent, QuickBuildComponent, RacingControl,
RailActivator and the scripts) build the structs. SendResurrect's
respawn timer moves to DestroyableComponent::Resurrect. The received
messages are registered in GameMessageHandler's map and their switch
cases are deleted, along with the unused HandleRequestDie overload and
the Send* functions nothing called (SendSmash, SendUnSmash, the run
speed modifiers, SendActivateBubbleBuffFromServer). Handler logic is
unchanged.
No wire change and no change in recipients. Verified byte for byte
against a frozen verbatim copy of the old functions over an input grid
(every optional field, bool patterns, empty and long strings), received
messages compared with the old handlers' read sequences and truncated
payloads rejected, hand computed golden bytes, round trips, and a
deliberate width mutation made the tests fail.
Known difference from the client, not changed here: DLU writes
SetStatusImmunity's nine flags in its own order; the client reads them
alphabetically (GameMessage::SetStatusImmunity::Serialize @ 00d8f140).

Every packet of the chat service is now an LUBitStream struct in dNet/ChatPackets.h
(docs/PacketArchitecture.md, PR 13), and nothing in the chat server or the chat side of
the world server reads or writes a packet by hand any more.
- World <-> chat: LoginSessionNotify, UnexpectedDisconnect, GMLevelUpdate, GMMute,
Announcement (GM announce), CreateTeam, TeamUpdate (TEAM_GET_STATUS to worlds),
AchievementNotify, ShowAllRequest, FindPlayerRequest.
- Client -> world -> chat (friends, ignore list, teams, general and private chat):
GetFriendsList, AddFriendRequest, AddFriendResponse, RemoveFriend, GetIgnoreList,
AddIgnore, RemoveIgnore, GeneralChatMessage, PrivateChatMessage, TeamInvite,
TeamInviteResponse, TeamLeave, TeamKick, TeamSetLeader, TeamSetLoot, TeamGetStatus.
The 77 bytes the handlers skipped are named fields now (the sender block the client
fills in); the 4 unused bytes after the player ID are kept as `unknown`.
- What the client receives. Chat service (ChatPackets::Client): GeneralChatMessage
(replaces SendChatMessage; SendSystemMessage stays as a helper built on it),
PrivateChatMessage. Client service (ClientPackets, as structs go in the file of the
ServiceType in their header): SendCannedText (replaces SendMessageFail), GetFriendsListResponse, AddFriendRequest,
AddFriendResponse, RemoveFriendResponse, UpdateFriendNotify, WhoResponse,
ShowAllResponse, Get/Add/RemoveIgnoreResponse, TeamInvite, TeamInviteInitialResponse,
and the team game messages chat writes (TeamInviteConfirm, TeamGetStatusResponse,
TeamSetLeader, TeamAddPlayer, TeamRemovePlayer, TeamSetOffWorldFlag) as TeamGameMsg
structs, since chat doesn't link dGame's NetGameMsg.
- WORLD_ROUTE_PACKET is ChatPackets::WorldRoutePacket (its own file, dNet/WorldRoutePacket.h,
since it carries packets of other services): the target and the inner packet.
ChatPacketHandler::SendRouted replaces the per-function route headers and
SendRoutedMsg.
Dispatch: dNet/PacketDispatcher.h is a dispatch map from packet ID to (struct, handler
function); packets that fail to Deserialize are logged and dropped. The chat server's
switch and the world's HandlePacketChat switch are now maps. The handlers take the
structs; their logic is unchanged. World code sends to chat with ChatServerLink::Send
(dGame) instead of writing to Game::chatServer by hand. eChatChannel,
eChatMessageResponseCode and eAddIgnoreResponse moved to dCommon/dEnums so the structs
can use them.
Verified: tests/dGameTests/dNetTests/Legacy/ChatPacketsLegacy.h is a verbatim copy of
the old senders and readers; ChatPacketsTests (25 tests) sends a grid of inputs through
both and requires identical bits, bytes and destination, checks the old readers read
what the structs write, round trips every struct, checks truncated packets are refused,
and has hand written golden packets for general chat, canned text, GM mute and a routed
team game message. Breaking one field width (UpdateFriendNotify) and the TeamAddPlayer
zone flag made the tests fail. No wire bytes changed.

The NexusDashboard-parity dashboard (dDashboardServer) and everything built on it on the experimental branch:
accounts, characters, properties and moderation tools, permissions shared with in-game slash commands, economy
reports, World 3D and property 3D views with client scenery, scheduled events (features, vanity changes, live
events, announcements, restarts), vanity files and events, the CDClient browser, the message inspector with saved
captures, chat filter tools, community challenges, live ops, the AI moderator helper, and the server-side changes
they need.

tested the following are now functional
ag buff station
tiki torch
ve rocket part boxes
ns statue
property behavior
extra items from full inventory
hardcore drops (items and coins)
Resets the model to the default state at the end of the models frame. Will see if in the future designers want this to be more strict on the resetting timing.
* Move in all directions is functional
* feat: add movement behaviors
the following behaviors will function
MoveRight
MoveLeft
FlyUp
FlyDown
MoveForward
MoveBackward
The behavior of the behaviors is once a move in an axis is active, that behavior must finish its movement before another one on that axis can do another movement on it.
* feat: add chat behaviors
Tested that models can correctly send chat messages, silently and publically. Tested as well that the filter is used by the client for behaviors and added a security check to not broadcast messages that fail the check if words are removed.
