266	Object Priorities	scheusso	scheusso	"== Outline ==
In order to reduce network traffic we do not synchronise every object on every (network-) tick. We only transfer a part of the objects based on their priority. Now we need an instance that provides per-client information about the importance of objects in the universe.

== How to determine the priority ==
The priorities must be based on the following information:
 * Distance between the player and the object
 * Importance of the object (e.g. Asteroids don't change their rotationrate and velocity and can be precalculated well by the client)

== Current status ==
There has already been a lot done here by chpeter:
 * the TrafficControl class processes a list of objects, sorts it and cuts it down to the desired size
 * this list afterwards gets processed by the gamestate and affects directly what gets sent to the client

further things to do:
 * better integration into the rest of orxonox
 * considering of compression
 * communication of clients bandwidth
