Engineering Console only sent to some clients #190
Description
the object Engineering Console is only sent clients with an engineering console selected *
I think this is worth noting (and maybe with a quick explination as to why)
I would suggest something like the following after "Engineering Console" before "Bit fields (4 bytes)"
The stock artemis server doesn't send Engineering Console packets to any client without engineering station selected, the stock artemis client misunderstands this resulting in repeated corrections when power levels are not 100%. Stock artemis clients do understand Engineering Console packets even if they do not have the engineering station selected.
there is a similar (but not identical) issue with weapons consoles
- in typing this I have just become aware I couldnt swear if every ships engineering console is sent to all engineering consoles or if its just that ships one
** there needs to be a test as to how multiship games work with engineering data being sent as I think there may be bugs there as well
*** I think it may actually be whatever that client last saw rather than 100%, I will test later
**** I havent actually looked at the html for this page, otherwise I would at least post this as a diff, I will at some point if no one else does this in the mean time
*****I dont know if the footnotes help or hinder clarity, I need to get round to setting up dev tools on this box to be able to do diffs, which I think will help
