Took some screenshots of the bug in action from both the client side and host side at as close to the same time as I could.

While doing the pics I noticed there is a similar client to host side bug. I also included pics of it. This occurs when the client has primary 3 selected and fires. The host sees primary 2 (green blob) instead of primary 3 (Purple)

I only gave the code a quick look, but it doesn't look like this is something we can really fix any time soon. Although you can properly select bank 3 the game only processes information for banks 1 and 2 over the network. The effect that you get appears to just be one of basic error handling.

Without breaking the packet there is no way to fix this. Adding a new packet with updated functionality would be the best way to handle it but it would be best to take it slow and figure out what capabilities it would need to have so that we can keep within the packet size limits and also to avoid getting into this situation again.
