This reverts commit a5418a019d.
The more I assessed this, the more I realized that this implementation
doesn't actually offer any value. Since modcounters don't persist after
chunk unload + reload, they can't be reliably used to detect changes in
chunks without additional event subscriptions.
For the purpose I actually intended to use them for (population task
cancellation) there's a) another solution, and b) modcounts are
unreliable for that too, because of the aforementioned potential for
chunks to get unloaded and reloaded.
For the case of detecting dirty chunks within PopulationTask itself,
they are also unnecessary, since the dirty flags are sufficient within
there, since FastChunkSerializer doesn't copy dirty flags.
In conclusion, this was a misbegotten addition with little real value,
but does impact performance in hot paths.
in the normal case, all sessions will share the same PacketSerializerContext and Compressor, so this code will be the same as before
However, for the multi-protocol hackers out there, this should reduce the maintenance burden (@Driesboy) since now only the PacketSerializerContext needs to be maintained. I recommend a separate PacketSerializerContext for each protocol (perhaps put the protocol version in the serializer context too, if you need it for some reason).
back when this was just hardcoded >> 4 everywhere, nobody thought anything of it, but now it uses constants, it's easy to cross-reference and see where the duplicates are.
setPopulated() sets dirty flags on the chunk, causing the autosave sweep
to think they've been changed when they haven't. We now pass
terrainPopulated to the constructor to avoid this ambiguity recurring in
the future.
making this nullable was based on the invalid assumption that global sounds have no position, but it turns out they _do_ still use the position to make the sound come from the correct direction.
loadPlugins() is now the preferred option, since it does all the proper checks.
In addition, the server now acknowledges that loading a single plugin may cause multiple plugins to be loaded, so returning only a single Plugin is not representative of what's actually happening.
