"Awareness" refers to an entity's view of the surrounding world with
regards to how the entity could navigate. We use Recast/Detour to build
a navmesh for the entity.
However, since each world can have many NPCs, each one with their own
mind, we don't want to keep a complete navmesh for each single mind.
This will quickly become expensive. Therefore we want to share
awarenesses between multiple entities of the same type. So, for example,
all fishes handled by the same ai client will share one single awareness
of the world.
This to some degree involves some cheating, since AI minds now might get
knowledge of the world they otherwise wouldn't have. We consider this to
not be such a big issue. If this is unacceptable for some worlds these
should then disable awareness sharing and take the resource hit.
* client/ClientPropertyManager.cpp, client/ClientPropertyManager.h:
A new class as a dummy property manager for the client side.
Never creates property objects.
* client/client.cpp: Instantiate the client property manager
during client initialisation.
* server/EntityFactory.cpp: Instatiate the server property manager
during server intialisation.
* common/PropertyManager.h: Add the singletons accessor, and
make the addProperty member return a pointer to the property.
* server/CorePropertyManager.h, server/CorePropertyManager.cpp:
Implement creating properties for server side entity objects.
* rulesets/Entity.cpp: Use the property manager singleton to
create properties if a new attribute is set which is not already
a property, and its also not already a soft attribute.
* rulesets/Character.cpp, rulesets/StatisticsProperty.h,
rulesets/StatisticsProperty.cpp: Add a property handler for
statistics.
* rulesets/Character.cpp: When setting task, check if an existing
task needs to be cleared first. When clearing a task, check
whether a task exists or not.
* rulesets/Character.cpp: When initiating combat task from task
factory, check to see if the task is successfully created before
using it.
* rulesets/Py_Property.cpp, rulesets/Py_Property.h: New python wrapper
class for entity properties.
* rulesets/Py_Mind.cpp: Re-work getattr logic to make it clearer.
* rulesets/Py_Object.cpp: Return Py_None when an Atlas Element cannot
be converted to python. This ensures that this function never returns
null.
* rulesets/Py_Statistics.cpp: Add temporary handlers for hardcoded
statistics for "attack", "defence", and "strength".
* rulesets/Py_Task.cpp: Add wrappers for methods Task.irrelevant and
Task.obsolete, as these are now required in combat scripts.
* rulesets/Py_Task.h: Fix the PyTask_Check macro, which was miscoded.
* rulesets/Py_Thing.cpp: Add wrapper for Entity.send_world so that
scripts can channel ops through entities.
* rulesets/Py_Thing.h, rulesets/Py_Thing.cpp: Add an addition structure
for directlty wrapping Character in a type safe way. Add method
structure pointer to Entity and Character wrappers so that
the same getattr method is used for both. Add new method table for
Character including wrappers for set_task and clear_task, allowing
task scripts to add themselves and remove themselves from
characters. Modify wrapEntity() to ensure that Character entities
get the right wrapper.
* rulesets/Py_Thing.cpp: Re-work getattr code so that properties and
soft attributes are checked individually, rather than in a single
call to Entity.get. Use new python property wrappers to wrap
properties explicitly if required rather than converting to Atlas
then to generic Python data.
* rulesets/TerrainProperty.h: Fix incorrect class description in
documentation.
* rulesets/mason/world/tasks/Combat.py: Complete implementation of
simple example combat.
* server/TaskFactory.cpp: Remove debug output.
* configure.ac, client/Makefile.am, server/Makefile.am,
tests/Makefile.am, tools/Makefile.am: Separate out WorldForge
libraries into sections so that tools binaries don't get linked to
libs they don't use. This prevents problems when library interface
versions change. Use dynamic python library if available, and remove
-export-dynamic flag from linker when using the dynamic version of
python.
* configure.ac, client/Makefile.am, server/Makefile.am,
tools/Makefile.am: Add a configure option, and modify the
way libs are handled so that it is possible to link most
libs statically. This makes it possible to build a stand-alone
binary distribution.
* client/BaseClient.cpp, client/BaseClient.h: Rename files for
already renamed CommClient class, to avoid name conflict.
* client/ObserverClient.h: Update for new header name.
* common/globals.cpp: Only persist this sessions command line
options if the user is overriding the installation directory.

client/Py_CreatorClient.h, client/client.cpp:
Add client functionality to allow diferent scripts to be run to
perform different functions on the server.
* client/CharacterClient.cpp: Add debug option.
* rulesets/Character.h: Make mind operation functions virtual,
so they can be overridden.
* common/BaseWorld.h, server/WorldRouter.cpp,
server/WorldRouter.h: Add server functions to search for
entities by name or type.
* rulesets/Creator.h, rulesets/Creator.cpp: Allow creator to
specify a look without an id to search for entities with
a given name or type.
* client/CreatorClient.cpp, client/CreatorClient.h,
client/ObserverClient.cpp, client/ObserverClient.h,
client/Py_CreatorClient.cpp, rulesets/basic/editor.py,
rulesets/mason/define_world.py:
Add support for looking for entities in the world by name or
type from client script, so client scripts can modify existing
world.
* rulesets/Entity.cpp, rulesets/Movement.cpp,
rulesets/Py_Object.cpp, rulesets/Py_Operation.cpp,
rulesets/Py_Oplist.cpp, rulesets/Python_API.cpp,
rulesets/Stackable.cpp, rulesets/Thing.cpp,
rulesets/World.cpp, server/Account.cpp,
server/CommServer.cpp, server/Connection.cpp,
server/Player.cpp, server/ServerRouting.cpp,
server/server.cpp, tools/cycmd.cpp,
tools/cywatchdog.cpp: Code formatting cleanups.
* rulesets/basic/world/objects/tools/Bow.py: Fix up bow so it now
fires correctly.
* tools/Makefile.am, server/Makefile.am, client/Makefile.am,
autogen.sh, configure.in: Removed some overcomplicated and
unrealistic build options. Sort out all the library checking
to use the macros.
* Makefile.am: Reinclude acorn maps for packaging as Acorn.
* cyphesis.spec.in: Bring rpm spec up to date, with packages
for server, libs and game data.
* rulesets/Makefile.am: Fixed distribution of ruleset hooks .in file.
* common/inheritance.cpp, common/inheritance.h, common/custom.cpp:
Rationalise the way types are stored in the inheritance system
and install info about cyphesis custom operations.
* example/client/InheritanceClient.cpp,
example/client/InheritanceClient.h: Update to use skstream.
* server/ServerRouting.cpp, server/ServerRouting.h,
common/serialno.h, common/serialno.cpp: Switch to using
a more global easier to access source of serial numbers.
Al Riddoch <alriddoch@zepler.org>
client closes connection.
* rulesets/Thing.cpp: If object to be created has no loc, set loc
to be the same as creator before passing to the factory.
* rulesets/Entity.cpp: Clarify debug output when determining location
of new entities.
* client/CommClient.cpp: Push output into debug mecanism. Switch
order of Create/Login for admin account so ordinary operation
does not issue an error. Admin account is created at startup,
so there is no need for the client to create it.
Al Riddoch <alriddoch@zepler.org>
* server/Player.cpp: Arg order of std::string.compare() is
incompatable between recent libstdc++ versions. Switch
back to old version, still in most common use.
* rulesets/Thing.cpp: Set refno on ops handled in game.
* rulesets/Python_API.cpp: Modify Entity() python constructor
so that commonly used attributes from old atlas are translated
to their modern equivalents.
* rulesets/Py_Thing.cpp, rulesets/Py_Mind.cpp: Differentiate
between previously identical error messages in several places.
* rulesets/Py_Object.cpp: Rework conversion of python dict to
Atlas map to be more efficient and clean.
* rulesets/Py_Location.cpp: Rework setting of vector parts of
location so that it can accept vectors from python in more
formats, including lists and tuples.
* rulesets/Creator.h, rulesets/Character.h, common/BaseEntity.h:
Re-order virtual methods declarations to fit a convention.
* common/stringstream.h: Hardcode use of local stringstream class,
as the version provided with older libstdc++ seems to be broken.
* common/database.cpp: Use the common header to pick the right
stringstream implementation.
* common/BaseWorld.cpp, server/Persistance.cpp: Removed unused
stringstream include.
* rulesets/Creator.cpp: Added extra debug output.
* client/define_world.h, client/define_world.cpp, client/CommClient.h:
Use CreatorClient to store Creators mind, instead of BaseMind.
* client/client.cpp,
client/ObserverClient.h, client/ObserverClient.cpp,
client/CreatorClient.h, client/CommClient.h, client/CommClient.cpp:
Modify method names to fit capitalisation conventions.
* client/CreatorClient.cpp: Implement creation of in-game entities,
using creator entity.
* client/CommClient.cpp: Added correct client side monitoring of
creator entity.
* client/ClientConnection.h, client/ClientConnection.cpp: Added
pending method to establish if ops are in the queue. Switched send()
method so we only send ops. Add setting of serialno of sent
ops, starting with an offset of 512.
* client/CharacterClient.h: Removed unused member, opFound.
* client/CharacterClient.cpp: Debugged sendAndWait() method.
Al Riddoch <alriddoch@zepler.org>

client/ObserverClient.cpp, client/ObserverClient.h,
client/ClientConnection.cpp, client/ClientConnection.h,
client/define_world.cpp, client define_world.h:
Started re-coding of python client code in C++.
* common/accountbase.h:
Database class used for simply accessing accounts.
* common/OOGThing.cpp, common/OOGThing.h, server/Account.h,
server/Routing.h:
Moved OOGThing class into common as it is not server specific.
* common/BaseWorld.cpp, common/BaseWorld.h,
server/WorldRouter.cpp, server/WorldRouter.h,
rulesets/Entity.h, rulesets/Py_World.cpp,
rulesets/PythonThingScript.cpp, rulesets/Python_API.h,
rulesets/Thing.cpp, rulesets/Thing.h:
Added base class for WorldRouter so that code that previously
used WorldRouter now used the interface defined by this
new class. This means that the code in rulesets no longer
has dependencies on code in server, so can be used in the client.
* server/ExternalMind.cpp, server/ExternalMind.h,
rulesets/Character.h, rulesets/Creator.cpp,
server/Account.cpp:
Moved ExternalMind class into server as it is server specific,
so that there is no dependancy on server in rulesets.
* server/Persistance.cpp. server/Persistance.h,
server/Admin.cpp, server/ServerRouting.cpp, server/server.cpp:
Moved high level server specific persistance class into
server, so there is no dependency on server in common.
* common/database.cpp, common/database.h, server/Admin.cpp,
tools/cydbload.cpp, tools/cyisoload.cpp, tools/cypasswd.cpp:
Increases efficiency of some interfaces by passing Object::MapType
instead of MapType, when the value must be a map.
* modules/WorldTime.cpp, modules/WorldTime.h,
rulesets/Py_WorldTime.cpp, rulesets/Python_API.cpp:
Brought the version of WorldTime in modules up to date, as this is
the version now used.
* rulesets/Character.cpp, server/WorldRouter.cpp, rulesets/Thing.cpp,
server/Admin.cpp:
Made world objects dictionary private.
* rulesets/EntityFactory.cpp, rulesets/EntityFactory.h:
Change newThing parameters so entity factory does not need to
know about WorldRouter.
* server/Lobby.cpp: Added support for people and rooms attributes
of OOG room class.
Al Riddoch <alriddoch@zepler.org>
* acorn.vconf: Added in new building classes which set up
wall objects for collision purposes. Building now seem to
work.
* common/database.cpp, common/database.h, common/globals.cpp,
common/globals.h, rulesets/Python_API.cpp, server/server.cpp,
