Resync Playermodels v1.3.0

---

 

This took a while and took about 4-ish versions of testing before getting it functional. The general idea here is that an /rsm command is added to the server made for resyncing the playermodels, when someone shows up invisible. Requires privelege 'controlserver'. 

 

General context here is that in playing VS with PlayerModelLib, noticed on our server that sometimes when someone joins, they just show up as insivible with only their nametag; normally just .reconnect'ing repeatedly was how it gets fixed - which is not ideal, so, this command makes it so you can just run /rsm when that occurs and nobody has to drop or reconnect.

 

Included commands are as follows:

1. /resyncmodels, alias /rsm, resyncs every single player online, requires privelege 'controlserver'
2. /resyncmodel - resyncs only your own entity for everyone else, requires privelege 'chat'

 

Technicals:

First sends an EntityDespawn packet to every other tracking client online, then removes the entity from each client's TrackedEntities set. Next tick the server re-emits a full-entity spawn packet. Next, since the client's already despawned it, that packet is handled as a fresh create, which the renderer rebuilds, and PlayerSkinBehavior.Initialize runs again. And as a side thing, removing from TrackedEntities alone isn't enough, without the despawn the client still has the entity and treats the next packet as a position update, so the broken state persists.
