New in 1.9.2

• Far fewer stutters while playing together. The game used to freeze for a moment every few seconds, and for seconds at a time now and then. That was the mod's own housekeeping, not the connection:
  • a check that searched every object in the game for things that can't be shared at all;
  • the calendar, the staff book and the store's screen machines re-reading their state ten times a second, even with nothing new and nobody to send it to;
  • the paint of every wall and piece of furniture read every 2 seconds. It's now read only after something is painted or placed.
  • the replication check doing a quarter of the store at once. It now does a little at a time.
• Measured on two copies of the game with a simulated 150 ms internet connection: the longest pauses went from several seconds to about a tenth of a second.

Still to do: a few smaller pauses remain (a guest applying the store's paint, customers, other players' bodies).

Host and guests need the same version, so update together.

Everything from 1.9.1 is included - see 1.9.1.

Checked

• 542 checks of the mod's Lua.
• Two copies of the game on one PC, the guest through a simulated internet connection (150 ms, 2% loss): frame times and each part of the mod timed on both, before and after.
