Story: sync savestate string #289

Open youbitchoc opened 1 month ago

youbitchoc commented 1 month ago

fixes echoes and consumables

savestate string is ~15kb, can be compressed to ~3.7kb (3.4kb if we convert separators to ascii control chars) only has to be synced on worldsession join

may cause duped creature spawns? though this seems to be a symptom of a bigger issue since clients shouldn't be allowed to spawn creatures in the first place

explicitly syncing all the relevant data (consumables, echoes, passages?, no need for creature spawns) thru onlinefields would be more efficient, did some progress in #267 (consumables) and #279 (echoes WIP)

but imo this is safer

Can this be closed or still pondering?

it's a good catch-all for dlc and mod compat
