12/2/13
- UndoStack: save active controller with each level
- Switch player resource account between teams so that weapons can fire in editor
- Review account system
- current
- devices and materials are associated with a joint resource account
- income & draw is split between account holders
- building resources is drawn from building client's account
- Pure team accounts only? rather than splitting resources between players - so they work together and can afford larger weapons
- easier to administer
- clients can easily come and go; team resources remain
- benefit of splitting
- a single player can't use all of the resources of the team.
- players are likely to bottleneck at the beginning of a game with excess building
- mitigated by communication or large starting resources
- different gameplay; individual clients can be targeted to disadvantage them. not much of a team then.
- drawbacks
- harder for the team to save up for expensive items
- complicates master control by one client (Any) during sandbox mode and level editin
- who gets resources for salvaged material?
- Should be:
- a single account for each team
- income & draw goes to and from that account
- transactions are rejected based on that one account

26/4/13
- Move multiplayer.ini into user's directory
- Prevent creation of nodes linked to nodes owned by other teams
- Fix desync: Prevent creation of chains when not editing to prevent structure desync
- repro: create isolated node. after temp bracing is gone but before it breaks off and becomes neutral, create a new node.
- in multiplayer this will cause a structure desync
- in sandbox the first node will break off and elongate the link to the second node.
- second (standin) node remains fixed with original team (must not have a reference link?)
- don't advance standin link build progress
- Fix crash: create new node, link back to other node, delete second link
- Desync: create a link from a standin node causes a resource desync
- Structures Desync: when client lagged, create a link after the host has released a single link node
- Cause: host: breaks off, rejects link creation. client: standin link changes the way structures are destroyed by vibration or stress
- Solution: ignore standin links when making decisions about destroying nodes and links by vibration or stress
- Structures Desync: when client lagged, create a link after the host has released and broken off a single link node
- Cause: different stress reactions when the link hits the ground

9/5/13
- record AI config in replay

- links can have a vector of fire segments
- only certain materials have fire segments and have one direction of their link initialised with FireSegments
- FireSegments are initialised at zero temperature and not alight, sprite initialised but on invisible state
- Execute UpdateFire pass:
- increase or decrease temp of FireSegments, faster when moving up
- light fire if above threshold of material,
- put out fire if below threshold,
- apply damage if on fire
- Execute Draw Fire pass
- draw sprites of all FireSegments

2/11/13
- Desync: desync when deleting a weapon. The delete was occuring in DeviceManager::Update(), when it should have happened in DeviceManager:UpdateDevices().
3/11/13
- Desync: Desync in Simple map when laser hits the top of the team 2 fort, with additional structure and laser built on top
- Conditions identical at start of beam hit
- Second frame (very slightly) different.
- Options
- Mass of nodes are different (which should desync well before firing laser)
- Force not applied in the same physics frame, with different time step
- Uninitialised variable referenced (why would it suddenly be used?)
- Only happens when force > 0. Damage can be >= 0
- Other weapons don't seem to cause the desync, only beams
- Cause: remote clients did not have the laser locked, so movements of the mouse caused the beam to move for only the remote clients, creating a desync
4/11/13
- Desync:
- Nick built a door
- First missile destroyed it
- Rebuilt the door and it never finished building
- Second hit caused a desync and it was revealed that it was in the stand-in state
- Cause: door probably failed to build because the structure moved and it was too short at the time the message was received
- Solution: When a link fails, destroy the standin link
5/11/13
- Desync: Missile caused desync in Vanilla while persistent stand-in link existed
- Could the garbage stand-in link cause a desync?
- test it by preventing one team from actually creating links, leaving just stand-in links
- Stand-in links are damaged by splash damage and a force is applied to its nodes away from the impact (shouldn't happen)

- Fix: replacing an auto-recessed strut with bracing results in an unmoving construction icon

- Trail effect aging may be running on real time and the effect was expired
- Maybe this always happens if there is an active trail on exit due to the shutdown order of managers?
- Fix: crash: if operate_door.lua effect naturally ends before PhysicsManager::UpdateDoors has an opportunity to detect the finish
- it will crash when it tries to cancel the effect, ditto for closing
- investigate how effects relate to real time (e.g. debris sprites shrink when paused)
- Fix: crash: ai.lua OnLinkDestroyed had been passed a nodeB that did not exist in ActualToOriginal
- Node creation was not reported to the AI
- New nodes are created when the structure breaks at a node
- Fix: RealTimeKeeper is paused along with PhysicsTimeKeeper, avoiding non-zero manager time deltas while app is paused

- Fix: MeshProjectiles are reset when collisions make them idle
16/1/14
- Fix: crash referencing apparently deleted wind turbine
- in PhysicsManager::UpdateDevices(), When device hitpoints gets to zero or the device is not attached to a structure

- Added neutral team link colour to constants
- Fix: Don't adjust colour of standin links
- Fix: 2 missiles used by 2 team-mates cause:

13/10/14
- Screen cycle reset on view move only happens after a certain timeout (to prevent frustrated players being unable to cycle to overview & enemy fort)

- Store a 'moved this frame' bool
- In the update, detect when it has gone from true to false

29/9/15
- Fix: desync when client joined while host was linking two nodes
- Client misses out on a few ticks worth of commands due to the 3 tick look ahead
- If any player commands are sent in that period the joining player doesn't execute them
-> Delay sending world state by tick lookahead, sending commands in the meanwhile

Replay desync: laser hits mortar, platform has slightly more HP in bad state
N187-N232 goes from 4 to 6 fire segments a frame late in the bad state frame 4033
