Over three months, Paul Johnson enhanced EQEmu/Server and BabylonJS/Babylon.js by building robust server-side validation and performance features. He implemented client version and custom file enforcement in EQEmu/Server, introducing configurable rules and real-time connection checks to improve security and deployment control. In BabylonJS/Babylon.js, he delivered a synchronous VAT baking method, optimizing asset preparation speed, and updated API documentation to clarify new baking workflows. His work leveraged C++, JavaScript, and TypeScript, demonstrating depth in backend development, configuration management, and 3D graphics. Across both repositories, Paul focused on maintainable solutions that improved reliability, performance, and developer experience without introducing regressions.

December 2024 monthly summary for EQEmu/Server: Implemented server-side enforcement of custom client files via a new server rule system. Added support for a configurable custom file key, a fallback URL to display when files are missing, and an admin-level exemption. The login flow now validates the client's custom file key and rejects non-compliant clients unless the user has the required admin privileges. This improves client integrity, security, and ecosystem reliability for controlled deployments.
