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 skill messages to NetGameMsgs in SkillMessages.{h,cpp}:
AddSkill and RemoveSkill (SendToClient, as before), EchoStartSkill,
EchoSyncSkill and DoClientProjectileImpact, and the received
SelectSkill, StartSkill, SyncSkill and RequestServerProjectileImpact.
The one-off StartSkill, EchoStartSkill, SyncSkill, EchoSyncSkill,
RequestServerProjectileImpact and DoClientProjectileImpact classes are
deleted; SkillComponent, BehaviorContext and InventoryComponent build
the structs, and the dashboard's message decoder reads them.
The received messages are registered in GameMessageHandler's map and
their switch cases are deleted; the handlers call SkillComponent as
before. The echoes still go to every client except the caster, through
the new NetGameMsg::BroadcastExcept. SelectSkill still accepts any
payload, since the old case read nothing. Handler logic is unchanged
(the SyncSkill case's unused hex dump of the payload is dropped).
No wire change. Verified byte for byte against frozen verbatim copies
of the old classes and functions over an input grid (every optional
field set and unset, empty, short and long behavior streams), received
messages compared with the old classes' read sequences and truncated
payloads rejected, the echo's broadcast-except destination compared
with the old send, hand computed golden bytes, round trips, and a
deliberate mutation made the tests fail. Messages that fail to
deserialize are now dropped instead of being handled half read.
