Yes. We used to save objects in two steps (this example is for buildings, but bobs and other stuff were the same). We had a buildings_data packet that described what buildings are where and the serial number of this building. Another packet contained 'buildings_data_data' which contained all of the internal state of the buildings. 

ixprefect changed that so that there is only one packet that contained both information. I do not remember, but I think this new design made some things more difficult, but had other advantages. I do not think that we ever switched everything to the new system - but I am not sure.
