Changelog
0.2.0
Spectator Camera
- Reduced spectator-view movement inherited from watched-player walk and run animation by preferring stable player-root camera anchors when available.
- Preserved existing animated-body fallbacks for compatibility when a stable root anchor cannot be resolved.
Disconnect Recovery
- Added automatic spectator target recovery when the currently watched player disconnects and another living player is available.
- Improved non-host client recovery for disconnected targets so client spectators no longer remain attached to off-map disconnected-player models.
- Kept mod-owned target recovery compatible with vanilla spectator switching and enhanced-freecam input suppression.
Remote Spectator Visibility
- Improved remote floating-head visibility for dead compatible clients across host and client perspectives.
- Stabilized floating-head and name-tag updates during target changes, disconnect windows, and enhanced-freecam to vanilla-view transitions.
Performance
- Reduced steady-state lookup and allocation pressure in spectator input, camera snapshots, floating-head name text, runtime dispatch, network sampling, and voice-routing player lookup paths.
- Kept verbose diagnostics behind debug configuration gates so normal play avoids avoidable log formatting and message churn.
0.1.3
Spectator Visibility
- Kept remote floating-head visuals visible when a dead spectator toggles from enhanced freecam to vanilla spectator view.
- Restored enhanced freecam pose sync cleanly after toggling back from vanilla spectator view.
- Continued publishing vanilla spectator camera pose while enhanced freecam is disabled and the player is still spectating.
Stability
- Added regression coverage for the enhanced-freecam to vanilla-spectator to enhanced-freecam cycle.
0.1.2
Spectator Stability
- Improved local-only spectator behavior when joining an unmodded host.
- Repaired cases where revived connected players could remain unavailable as spectator targets on another installed client.
- Improved fallback name repair for generic
Player #n labels when compatible peer identity data is unavailable.
- Kept enhanced freecam active after valid vanilla spectator target selection in local-only sessions.
Compatibility
- Local freecam remains available for installed clients when the host is unmodded.
- Multiplayer presence, floating-head visuals, name tags, and routed spectator voice continue to require compatible Enhanced Spectator peers and a modded relay host.
