Project Dalian v0.5.8-alpha

Multiplayer sync — movement, animation, and vehicles

Symptoms in v0.5.7: the second player moved very slowly (host could run laps around them); remote soldiers slid with frozen legs; helicopters showed as a floating soldier with no vehicle model; parked vehicles could drift out of sync between clients.

Fixes:

  • Extended player replication with velocity, animation time, pose, and vehicle id/transform (backward-compatible wire format)
  • Faster remote smoothing with velocity extrapolation so other players keep up at run speed
  • Full soldier animation set for remote players (walk/run/crouch/prone via synced anim_time + pose)
  • Vehicle transform replication when driving — remotes see the actual helicopter/tank mesh, not a hovering body
  • Unoccupied vehicles lock to their map spawn point; spawn anchors stored at load time
  • Vehicle draw culling uses live position instead of stale spawn origin

Test with two clients on the same build: on-foot movement speed, crouch/prone visibility, helicopter pilot + observer, parked vehicles staying put.

Includes all v0.5.7 fixes

  • In-game viewport no longer stretched/skewed after shadow pass
  • v0.5.6 UI clipping, kill feed, join/leave toasts
