Although b4e8560698 made players instantly able to see each other on minimalist servers that did not change their cells from the default, it created problems with the default CoreScripts where players need to be logged in before receipt of a CellStates packet from them is taken into account, with the result being that a player was recorded as having loaded their initial cells on the server's C++ side but not on the Lua side.
It may simply be best to expect servers to set player cells.
Previously, turning off communication with the MasterServer from the server config and then attempting to use SetGameMode() or SetHostname() led to a server crash.
Since the beginnings of TES3MP, equipment packets have only been sent whenever an item has been replaced by an item with a different refId, with changes in an item's charge or count not sending a packet (but being included in the next packet sent as a result of a refId change). The reason for this was ostensibly the fact that every single equipment packet always included the details for all 19 equipment items (as per Koncord's original design decision), which would have led to massive packet spam if such a packet was sent every time you shot an arrow or lost a little bit of your armor's condition.
With minimalist equipment packets, it is now viable to send equipment packets whenever any item changes in some way, by having the equipment packet contain only that one item.
Previously, the index changes were not cleared at the start of their corresponding update functions, which in turn meant that an Attribute/Skill/StatsDynamic/Equipment packet received by a player from the server made that player send back the same packet, as the index changes from it were retained.
Additionally, exchangeFullInfo was not set to false, thus sometimes leading to constant full exchanges of information.
Previously, two players entering the same cell only sent and received their latest changes for dynamic stats, attributes, skills and equipment when they started sharing that cell.
