anyone else have input, or should I take this as permission to
resurrect the bridge this weekend? Direct responses from Leaf and ryo

Does that mean that Metalforge has had *no* updates, or that it simply
pulls updates from another branch? Is it conceivable to run several
branches in parallel for situations like this?

Perhaps what makes this more confusing is that in this particular
format, the primary arch appears to be using the "Object" header,
instead of a more typical "arch" header, like you'd see in a map or
inventory.
So it might look like this:
Object chest
weight 10
value 1
arch sword
weight 10
value
I agree with the theory, it makes sense to me.

The build is here, for those who wish to try it:
In a bizarre twist, a debug build makes the issue vanish. I simply

I find it most interesting that the issue only manifests once I remove
the binaries from the build environment, and execute them elsewhere.
This indicates to me that I'm missing
I understand the issue with diagonals, and I agree it seems like a
rather hard problem. In any case, I don't think the current state is a
serious or exploitable issue, as long as future map and code
development acknowledges the inconsistencies.

This is definitely a very blunt fix, and thus has blunt consequences.

If I understand correctly, the problem is less that commands are not
processed quickly enough, and more that the drop command must be fully
processed before the server can tick again. Here's a different (and
