shawn d02b112d99 Phase 7: test server deployment + Windows export

- Fix: export_presets.cfg — platform='Windows Desktop' (correct name)
- Fix: server_main.gd — formatting bug on lag-comp string
- Fix: game_server.gd — auto-detect GDExtension, fall back to GDScript stub
- Add: server/scripts/simulation_server_stub.gd — lightweight SimulationServer in GDScript
- Add: docs/playtest-guide.md — connection instructions, control bindings, server commands
- Add: systemd user service — tactical-shooter-server (enabled, running)
- Add: server config at ~/tactical-shooter-server/server_config.cfg
- Build: Windows 109MB PE32+ client (build/tactical-shooter-windows-x86_64/)
- Build: Linux server binary (78MB) — running on oplabs:34197
- Temporarily disabled GDExtension (needs C++ build fix in entity.cpp enum casting)

Quick Start

1. Get the Windows Client

Download tactical-shooter-windows.zip from the build directory, or clone the repo and find it at:

Extract the zip anywhere on your Windows machine and run tactical-shooter.exe.

2. Connect to the Test Server

Server IP	`68.202.6.107` (external) or `192.168.0.127` (LAN)
Port	`34197`
Protocol	ENet (UDP)

Launch the game, open the console (~) and type:

connect 68.202.6.107:34197

Dedicated Server Info

The test server runs on OPLabs infrastructure:

Host: oplabs VM (192.168.0.127)
Binary: ~/tactical-shooter-server/tactical-shooter-server.x86_64
Service: systemctl --user status tactical-shooter-server
Config: ~/tactical-shooter-server/server_config.cfg

Server Commands (SSH into oplabs)

# Check status
systemctl --user status tactical-shooter-server

# View logs
journalctl --user -u tactical-shooter-server -f

# Restart
systemctl --user restart tactical-shooter-server

# Stop
systemctl --user stop tactical-shooter-server

RCON Admin

Connect via TCP to port 34198 with the RCON password (set in server_config.cfg):

rcon_password <password>
rcon commands
rcon changelevel test_range
rcon kick <player_id>

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Can't connect	Check server is running: `systemctl --user status tactical-shooter-server`
Firewall block	Ensure port 34197/UDP is open on the server
Game won't start	Install VC++ Redistributable
High ping	The server is in eastern Canada; use the LAN IP if on the same network
