I have added network paging support to the project, using Mirror’s Custom “Interest Management” system.
This means that I can page in and out objects from the server based on their world space distance and the zone that they are in. I have integrated this with the networked AI, and it works very well.
I can now page in and out objects completely from the server, which is much more efficent than the client based system that I was using.
The next goal is to use the new networking techniques that I have learned to optimise the existing player network code, which is quite messy.
I also need to add more networking improvements and abilities, to improve the persistent and multiplayer nature of the game.
