| Summary | 0021435: Multiplayer: Revise/reset scopes of RNG contiguousness. | ||||
| Description | I honestly don't know how this is set up at the moment, in terms of when we reset the RNG with a new seed. We do it every sim step, sure -- but are we doing it whenever we spawn a new thread? Does each thread get the RNG seed plus some small constant for that thread in question? That would be ideal, frankly. The idea here is that, every time the RNG is invoked, it's increment it and thus further calls to it will cause cascading desyncs if someone does something wrong. So we want to limit the modder-facing things in particular to their own thread. That way a modder could mess up sync in their own thread for their own faction, but not in the general game as a whole. The tractor beam code might have a desync that we want to fix, but it wouldn't cascade into the decloaking thread, for instance. I have a feeling we're already doing a lot of this, but I need to review everything and make sure that we're doing it ENOUGH. | ||||
