Subworld Library Unofficial Mod Patch (deprecated)

Feel free to remove it, or keep it in case of future fixes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subworld Library Unofficial Mod Patch (SLUMP) This mod patches Subworld Library by adding additional functionality and potential fixes to improve the multiplayer experience of subworlds. Currently the mod contains 3 server-sided patches which may improve stability in multiplayer: 1) Write Loop Thread. - Seperates the Main Thread and sub/main server Read Loop Thread by adding an additional communication layer. - Bypasses blocking writes on the main thread. - Reduces the chance of servers deadlocking. - Reduces potential communication slowdowns on the main server. - May increase total packet latency for clients connected to a sub-server. 2) Packet Filter. - Adds a packet filter to the incoming communication. - Intentionally blocks/drops packets a client is not allowed to send during certain stages of the login process. - Reduces the chance of random disconnects or 'infinite loading screens' when going between servers. - Bypasses 'bootplayer' code. 3) Crash Detection. - Keeps track of the process of the subserver. - When the subserver closes transfers all players connected to the subserver back to the main server. - NOTE: Trying to rejoin a crashed server might still cause infinite loading screens. The individual patches can be enabled/disabled in the mod config. Some might need a reload! If you encounter any problems, please post them on the workshop page. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ: Q: I get the message 'Backing up player file'.
