the princess towers do not draw either, red or blue, so what is on
screen is arena scenery and no object in the battle has ever had a
model. that makes the failure uniform rather than per character, and it
kills the last reason to hand objects new ids: renumbering was only ever
there to make them new again, it did not help, and it destroys and
rebuilds objects the hud holds pointers into.
what is verified and can stop being re-examined: LogicGameObject::decode
reads owner at +48, the component mask at +0x4c, the position at +52 and
z at +0x44, in that order, which is what we write. LogicCharacter's two
booleans are the destroyed flag at +208 and isLeader at +209, both
rightly false for a troop. LogicGameMode::decode reuses the existing
battle rather than rebuilding it, so the listener survives. and the
checksum agreeing byte for byte says every field we write lands where
the client expects it.
