User observation (acdream observing a retail player's server MoveTo):
walk-distance approaches correct; run-distance plays the run cycle AND
moves toward the target in slow motion.
Root cause, raw-verified (apply_run_to_command 0x00527be0, raw
305062-305076): retail's rate chain is
weenie ? (InqRunRate() ?: my_run_rate) : 1.0
Every placed retail object HAS a weenie; a REMOTE's weenie fails
InqRunRate (no local skill data) and the chain lands on my_run_rate -
the exact field retail's mt-6/7 unpack writes with the wire's
MoveToRunRate (M13; observed 4.50). Our port had the branch verbatim
but remote interps carried NO weenie at all, taking the else-1.0
branch retail reserves for weenie-less detached objects: observer-side
run dispatches went out at speed 1.0, so the run cycle's pace AND
get_state_velocity's chase speed both crawled. Walk was unaffected -
walk speed is never rate-scaled (the discriminating symptom).
Fix: RemoteWeenie (Core) - the minimal stand-in for retail's
per-object ACCWeenieObject: InqRunRate fails (-> my_run_rate),
InqJumpVelocity fails, IsThePlayer default false (also ends the
fragile "null weenie counts as the player" reading of the A3 dual
dispatch for remotes), IsCreature default true (doors carry it too;
their force-asserted Contact keeps the creature ground-gate moot -
documented on the class). RemoteMotion's interp now constructs with
it.
Tests: RemoteWeenieRunRateTests pins both branches against the raw -
RemoteWeenie + MyRunRate=4.5 promotes WalkForward->RunForward @ 4.5;
weenie-less keeps the verbatim degenerate 1.0. Full suite green: 3,963.
