# Patches applied to vendored submodules ## `0001-tachyon-packet-layer-hook.patch` → `vendor/LiteNetLibPP` Applies to: LiteNetLibPP @ `c6625b0652c5930046b75b495db314456c8bc411` (https://github.com/Revan600/LiteNetLibPP), the pinned submodule under `vendor/LiteNetLibPP`. ### Why Upstream has no packet-layer abstraction, but the Rec Room client wraps every datagram in a trailing-marker "encrypt" layer (a `0x11` byte on the plaintext path). This patch adds a generic datagram-transform hook — the equivalent of the C# LiteNetLib `PacketLayerBase` — so Tachyon can install the marker without forking the library wholesale. It is deliberately generic (not RecRoom-specific) so it could be submitted upstream unchanged. ### What it changes - `include/lnl/net_manager.h` — two public `std::function` members, `outbound_layer` and `inbound_layer` (both default null → stock behaviour), plus ``/`` includes. - `src/lnl/net_manager.cpp` - `send_raw()` — if `outbound_layer` is set, transform the bytes just before `sendto`. - `receive_logic()` — if `inbound_layer` is set, transform/drop each datagram just after `recvfrom`, before `on_message_received`. Tachyon installs the `0x11` marker through these hooks in `src/main.cpp`. ### How it is applied The top-level `CMakeLists.txt` applies this patch to the submodule working tree at configure time, idempotently (`git apply --reverse --check` detects an already-patched tree and skips). This leaves the submodule showing as "dirty" in `git status` — that is expected. To reset it: `git -C vendor/LiteNetLibPP checkout .` ### Regenerating the patch (if the pin is bumped) ```sh # from a pristine checkout of the new upstream commit, with the two files edited: git -C diff > patches/0001-tachyon-packet-layer-hook.patch ``` ### Known limitation The outbound hook appends its marker *after* LiteNetLibPP's MTU/fragmentation math, without reserving space the way the C# `ExtraPacketSizeForLayer` did. Safe here because every packet the server *sends* is far below the MTU; revisit if the server ever sends reliable data near the MTU.
