This has been a long-running problem for days, but I've finally
implemented a correctly working hierarchy between the ClientData,
AccountData and CharacterData objects:
CharacterData -> AccountData -> ClientData
There doesn't seem to be any issues with it right now, touch wood.
* There seems to be something iffy with this branch
* The size of SerialPacket may have changed
I've implemented the accountIndex variable as best I can, but I really
shouldn't code at night. I'll need to go over the changes again before
merging this.
To modify an existing user account, change the in memory copy and then
call the function SaveUserAccount(uid), where uid is the index of the
modified account. If the save function is not called immediately, then the
behaviour of the server is undefined.
I'm mostly just testing the waters at this stage, and i've left some debug
code in. There's no way to unload, delete, etc. the accounts, but that
comes later.
The bug was being caused by a lack of a new player object being sent to
some clients. Fixed this by adding in the sending code, and preventing the
new entries being "registered" until the end of the HandleJoinRequest()
method.
Hopefully I can simply abstract away some of this code soon.
