Update instructions
Back up your entire campaign/server profile before updating. Install matching versions on the server and all clients, then fully restart. Load your chosen Freedom Fighters branch before LootBox and Arsenal. Do not enable both FF branches together.

- Improved large-loot queue processing and reduced collection delays.
- Fixed repeated scans rediscovering already processed items.
- Fixed item tracking and exclusive claims becoming unreliable after virtual cleanup.

1.4.0

Collection diagnostics and Arsenal integration update

- Added clearer virtual-intake rejection details for compatible integrations.
- Added collection timing and refusal diagnostics to help investigate large loot sweeps.
- Compatible with MCW Arsenal 2.8.21 payment, restore verification and inventory custody corrections.

Verified with the paired update: bought LootBoxes, physical and nested Arsenal transfers, small Loot Surroundings collection, and repeated save/reload.

Use with MCW Arsenal latest for the integration fixes. Server and clients must use matching versions. Large-sweep multiplayer disconnects remain under investigation.

1.2.44

Crash-Safe High-Volume Arsenal Transfers

  - Added immutable bulk ownership manifests for transfers of up to 2048 virtual items.
  - Large LootBox-to-Arsenal transfers now use one durable manifest instead of writing every item ownership record separately.
  - A failed manifest write publishes no destination ownership, preventing partial or duplicated transfers.
  - Committed transfers are safely replayed during startup after a server restart or crash.
  - Individual item IDs, serialized payloads and revisions remain available for retrieval, Arsenal stock, loadouts and weapon building.
  - Physical world items continue to use the existing verified callback and removal path.

  Requires MCW Arsenal 1.4.17.

  Validation:
  Automated crash/restart and source regression tests pass. Multiplayer testing is still in progress.
