Summary0001151: Incoming clients think that some actors are gone when they aren't
DescriptionAttached screenshot. If you connect to the server after the TechLamp_02 actors have died, they will not be there on the client-end.
Steps To Reproduce1. zandronum -file thing_state_connect_01.wad -host
2. Connect a client to the server and join the game.
3. Aim at the TechLamp_02 actors and press +attack.
4. "reconnect" in the console.
Additional InformationAlthough it's a minor issue, I set the severity to major since it can affect the player movement.

This should fix the issue. Dead actors that were not corpses were not spawned at all. I can't guarantee that this change won't start spawning undesired stuff though, since we didn't spawn this kind of actors for about five years now.

It fixed the issue. The client will still jitter when bumping into the actors since their positions aren't sent at full precision, but that's a separate issue.

There's another separate instance of actors not appearing properly after connecting to the server. It was reported here. I'm able to reproduce it in AOW, but not in an example WAD.

Dusk, the Utility_MiniRavenRed actors will always disappear if you connect to the server when they aren't chasing a target.

This is consequence of 0001205, the client is deleting them on their own.

Since the problem is in its own ticket, I'm closing this as resolved since the original issue was deemed fixed.
