A 30 s profile on a 77-player server had four frames of 20 to 30 ms against a
usual 7.8 ms, from two things:
- The Park Editor read every mod's manifest every five seconds to list park
mods, on the game's thread and whether or not its list was showing (the
switch for that is never set): about 11 ms each time. The look every few
seconds now runs on a thread of its own and is taken up when it is done;
the one after making, renaming or removing a park is still at once.
- Connecting to a player asked Steam for their name, and waited on the Steam
client for 7 to 10 ms each time a player came into reach. The link takes
the name already read, if any: it only labels the link in diagnostics.
Profiler: a release ReSkate.dll has no symbols, and its functions were all
named after the nearest export. The check for that looked at the symbol's
size, but DbgHelp gives an export a size up to the next one. It now asks
whether the module's own symbols were loaded, and writes ReSkate.dll+0x<offset>
when they were not, to be named from the release's symbols afterwards
Limit how many objects each player can place (protocol 43)
- Servers and lobby hosts set how many objects each player may have
placed: object_limit in ReSkateServer.json and the "objects" command,
"Objects per player" in the host options. Default 100; 0 is no limit
- The host and a server's admins are not limited
- At the limit a player's game refuses another object, from the native
object tool and the park editor, and the menu shows how many they have
placed
- Enforced by the host or server, which shows everyone no more than the
limit of each player's layout; objects already shown keep their place
- The limit travels in the roster, which takes the protocol to version
43: builds before this cannot join sessions with builds after it
- The protocol tests link again (the server browser needs the identity
lists since the official servers change)
Each built its text with path::string(), which throws for a character outside the ANSI code page, so the real error or message was replaced by a code-page error.
Cap outfit packets and stop dropping recipients when a relay cannot be
built. Add per-player relay limits for outfits, skater sound and voice,
and a back-off for Steam IDs that keep failing to join.
Throwdowns: only participants can write rows, turns and scores; a copy
that fails to spawn no longer blocks the others.
Throttle remote skater and skateboard re-creation, cap remote objects
per session, and show developer and friend marks only for identities
Steam vouches for. Route all connections through Steam's relays.
Dedicated server: validate map changes, clean player names, keep vote
cooldowns across reconnects, and cut ban labels on a character boundary.
