Cancelling redundant packets has to big problems:
* The normal case is to not run in the primary thread.
* For legit players a missed micro move could mean that survivalfly can
not detect ground properly.
Better approaches could be:
* Cancel asynchronous packets if they match the last sent one (only
simple hacks).
* Check for moves passing block borders, request block shapes and such
from the main thread.
* Detect actual cheating or unusual patterns instead.
* Queue packets for processing in the main thread.
Missing:
* Actually detect ACK packets for previous outgoing teleports.
* Do something upon detecting illegal coordinates (asynchronous
disconnect? queue kicking, config).
* In addition to the "distance from set-back" check, we have a check of
the per-move distance for in-air checks, taking account of friction.
* In-air and liquid checks should consume vertical velocity once needed.
* Model vertical velocity "exact", i.e. positive and negative, use an
entry once a sub-check fails, quite strict invalidation of not matching
values, matching against the y-distance directly.
* Vertical accounting has been sharpened for the moment. The new
per-move checking might make it superfluous.
* Remove MediumLiftOff in favor of a LiftOffEnvelope carrying basic
lift-off max-gain/max-height/max-phase, enabling to distinguish between
normal lift-off and liquid near ground.
* Rename others (e.g. sfLastYDist -> lastYDist). Thus breaking internal
naming, adding velocity via MovingData still works, but should behave
slightly differently.
* Fixes (waterwalk with head obstructed, resetting of sfDirty, possibly
others).
Issues.
* Edge cases with velocity, water.
* Lava needs friction, at least with velocity.
* Lostground_edge(ydist < 0.0) ->
bunny with yDistance > 0.0. Need more flags or better model for keeping
past moves information.
* Plain ground misses (layered snow).
* lostground with yDist == 0.0, then seemingly in-air yDist== 0.0, then
bunny/lifft-off (similar to above). Needs better modeling of past moves,
because several lostgorund cases mean "the move has been on ground".
Also includes geting the distance to ground for hack-proof set-back-y.
* Vertical velocity is now matched with a margin, because the client
seems to add randomly.
* Possibly new loopholes/exploits (extreme large moves?).
* Cleanup pending.
* Group selected classes into sub-packages of moving.
* Rename classes.
* Must use LinkedList for velocity entries.
* Prepare SimpleAxisVelocity + entry for use-once accounting.
(Might not be the final naming.)
* Use BlockProperties.collides to use the actual bounds of blocks.
* Don't test for sfLowJump to set allowHop.
* Set head bump margin to match 2-high spots and to prevent lowjump fps.
* Tighten conditions for actual hop.
* Don't x > 1.314 * x.
* Add height, eyeHeight, isHeadObstructed to PlayerLocation.
* lowjump detection: from is higher than to, test both locations.
* Remove bunny reset within lowjump detection (defeated flying bunny).
* Check isHeadObstructed directly in the bunnyHop method.
Issues remaining:
* Moderate acceleration ground to ground, after having landed (+1st).
* Possibly transitions between 2-high and other.
* More edge cases with slowness potion.
Using profiles:
* Profile "minimal" will build by default, excluding all dedicated cb
dependencies, making it easier to quickly test stuff.
* Set the property 'cbdedicated' to true, in order to build all, using
the profile "all".
* The properties BUILD_NUMBER and BUILD_SERIES don't seem to set to
defaults anymore, so they have to be set manually (BUILD_NUMBER does get
set on jenkins).
This seems to be the same value on ground as with slowness potion and
2-step acceleration. Not possible to squeeze into the ordinary bunny
envelope.
On the fly: add PlayerLocation.isOnGroundOrResetCond.
Slowness+bunny will still not fully work, because we need to model
closer to the client here, i.e. acceleration and friction. Remaining
issues in rough order of naughtiness:
* On-ground friction based speed decrease.
* Increasing of speed, above slowness sprinting speed but below normal
sprinting speed.
* Two-step bunnyhop, having h-speed increase to bunny with two packets.
Similarly acceleration effects when touching ground, not modeled right
by bunny.
* Possibly more.
* Remove early return, as we prefer to know what NCP would allow, at
least until sf changes have stabilized.
* Only count in speed effects for normal running/jumping, not
water/web/blocking/sneaking. Either check potion effects or attributes.
