Updated UOX3 & JS documentation
Added new JS command: 'seeryell [text] // broadcast message to all with seer privs or higher privs
Added new privilege flag for characters:
0x20000 - Seer (Character is a Seer)
Fixed an issue where Young players could not direct hirelings to attack valid targets (js/npc/ai/hireling.js)
When buying items from NPC shopkeepers worth more than the BUYTHRESHOLD in uox.ini, the player's backpack is first checked for the required amount of gold, before their bankbox is checked. A new message is displayed about any gold withdrawn from player's bank.
When selling items to NPC shopkeepers that are worth more than the BUYTHRESHOLD in uox.ini, the gold is now deposited directly into the player's bankbox, instead of to their backpack. A new message is displayed about any gold deposited to the player's bank.
Fixed an issue with Shopkeeper AI (js/npc/ai/shopkeeper.js) where the NPC would incorrectly assume player was member of the same NPC guild as them, and provide them with an unwarranted bonus to trade prices as a result
Fixed an issue that prevented players from being able to apply poison to weapons (js/skill/poisoning.js)
Fixed incorrect NPC spawn entry in Khaldun spawn region DFNs: spectralarmour -> spectralarmor
Added entries for Orc Caves/Khaldun to GM travel menu (dfndata/items/travelmenu.dfn and travelmenu.bulk.dfn)
Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented admin characters from seeing offline GMs
Added support for reading SKILLCAPSINGLE ini setting with GetServerSetting() JS function
Fixed issue where animal trainers would give players a random ostard when buying a desert ostard (js/npc/pets/static_ostard.js and dfndata/items/misc/mount-statues.dfn)
Added DFN entries for additional ostard-mount-statues (not sold by animal trainer) that can give user a random ostard, forest ostard or frenzied ostard respectively (dfndata/items/misc/mount-statues.dfn)
Player pets are no longer safe from being attacked from monsters. This also addresses an issue with tamed pets being able to freely attack monsters if player gets the monster's attention first and then kites the monster around while pet kills it. Now monster will properly re-focus to nearest attacker (including pets) if original target is too far away
Fixed incorrect command-levels for GMs for hard-coded commands listed in commands.dfn
Added support for specifying minEra,maxEra value pair for teleport locations in js/teleport.scp. These can be used to define the minimum and maximum era a given teleport entry should be active for. The values for these default to -1, unless otherwise specified. Updated teleport entry format:
sourceX, sourceY, sourceZ, targX, targY, targZ, [sourceWorld, targWorld[, minEra, maxEra]]
Updated teleport entries for Yew <-> Heartwood to only be active for ML era shards and above (js/teleport.scp)
Updated regions for Moonglow and Skara Brae to properly cover dock areas (dfndata/regions/regions.dfn)
Added missing dictionary entries related to poison/corrosion update
Added some missing details for poisoning skill (js/skill/poisoning.js) and arms lore skill (js/skill/armslore.js)
Added missing details for 'tweak (js/commands/targeting/tweak.js), 'get and 'set (js/commands/targeting/get.js and set.js) commands related to poison charges and poison strength on items
Updated poison strength of poison elementals [poisonele] from 4 to 5 (dfndata/npc/elementals.dfn)
Fixed an issue with Spawner Object Editor where state of "Use Spawnlist" checkbox would not be read correctly if no "Spawner Type" radio buttons were selected (js/server/misc/spawner_editor.js)
Cleaned up an issue with last commit where wrong npclists were used in some spawn regions
Made a few additional adjustments to the new spawn regions in Lost Lands/New Haven
Included more changes related to poison updates that should've been in previous commit (like the complete UOX.INI support for POISONCORROSIONSYSTEM setting)
Adjusted region setup for New Haven to set the individual "building" regions within as a sub-region of the main town (regions.dfn)
Fixed an issue where the displayed HP of an equipped item would not update correctly
Further updates to convert timers 32-bit to 64-bit. This affects and addresses some potential issues with: Character creation/NPC guild-join timestamps, NPC movement, combat timers, idle timeouts, item decay, spellcasting
Added support for new JS Events that can trigger from global script, and can be used to store persistent custom entries in players' paperdoll profiles:
onProfileRequest( socket, profileOwnerChar ) - Triggers when client requests data for a paperdoll profile
onProfileUpdate( socket, updatedText ) - Triggers when client sends updated data from paperdoll profile
Added two new helper functions in code that allows faster (but very slightly less accurate) distance checks between two points: GetApproxDist( Point3_st a, Point3_st b )
GetApproxDist( CBaseObject *a, CBaseObject *b )
Improved pathfinding for NPCs attempting to follow another character, by adopting a system of weighted variables to help the NPC determine when to recalculate the path vs when to stick with the old, combined with faster distance checks via GetApproxDist(). The end result of this is faster, smarter and more responsive NPC followers and NPC opponents in combat. The variables influencing this include: how far the target has moved from last pathfind target location, whether NPC is heading in the overall right direction or not, time since last path calculation and some small randomization to avoid edge case jitters.
Updated default command levels in commands.dfn, code and scripts to support the Seer role and make space for some custom roles. These are the new defaults as listed in commands.dfn, which should not be changed as they are linked to specific enums in code. Do take note that this might invalidate command levels for existing GMs/Seers/Counselors, who might need another round of 'make gm/seer/cns from an admin:
ADMIN - command level 10
GM - command level 9
SEER - command level 7
CNS - command level 4
PLAYER - command level 0
Updated how UOX3 makes use of the account-level flags 0x2000 (Seer) and 0x4000 (Counselor). If either of these flags are set on an account, all new characters created on the accounts will automatically receive the relevant command privileges.
Fixed an issue with 'wholist command that prevented admin characters from seeing characters with lower privilege levels in the list (js/commands/wholist.js)
Fixed an issue with hiding/GM hide that prevented admin characters from seeing hidden characters with lower privilege levels in the world
UOX3 now includes the cross-platform, header-only utf8cpp library found at https://github.com/nemtrif/utfcpp and freely available under Boost Software License v1.0. The immediate use-case for this is in code right now is to better handle strings related to custom paperdoll profiles, but will also look to make more heavy use of this in future updates
Fixed an issue where NPC spellcasters would damage/kill themselves by attempting to cast Mind Blast at their target. Now they'll only cast this if they're actually smarter than their target
Fixed an issue where NPC spellcasters would damage and kill members of their own species/ai/race via AoE spells
Fixed an issue where the max spellcast range defined in UOX.INI was off for NPCs by 1 tile
Added spoken words of power for spells cast by human NPCs
Fixed a bug where spell effects would get stuck on caster if they cast a spell with a moving effect at themselves
The 'make command will now strip clothes and hair/beard from characters that are turned into Counselors (dfndata/command/commands.dfn)
Adjusted default privileges for Admins, GMs and Counselors to not show skill titles in paperdoll (dfndata/command/commands.dfn)
Fixed incorrect section headers for base_bascinet and base_helmet (dfndata/items/gear/armor/base_armor.dfn)
Fixed incorrect ID in item definition for Sai weapon (dfndata/items/gear/weapons/fencing.dfn)
Fixed incorrect get tag value for a wand definition (dfndata/items/gear/weapons/wands.dfn)
Reduced the amount of townfolk, poorfolk and richfolk NPCs spawning in Britain (dfndata/spawn/spawn.dfn)
Fixed a bug with the Anatomy skill that allowed gaining skill from targeting self (js/skill/anatomy.js)
Fixed an issue with default NPC speech where a variable mySocket was not properly defined (js/npc/speech/speech_001.js)
Fixed an issue with the moongate JS script, which would not work reliably (js/item/moongate.js)
Added support for a new TITLE tag to the command privileges section of commands.dfn, to allow customizing the title added in front of a character's name when they become an Admin, GM or Counselor
Fixed a client crash caused by the admin welcome gump being too large!
Adjusted values of _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL and _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING in ConfigOS.h to better support debug mode in VS2022
Changed default value of NPCFLAGUPDATETIMER ini setting from 5 to 10 seconds
Changed default value of NPCMOVEMENTSPEED ini setting from 0.38 to 0.5
Changed default value of NPCRUNNINGSPEED ini setting from 0.2 to 0.3
Changed default value of NPCFLEEINGSPEED ini setting from 0.3 to 0.4
Added an [ADMIN] section to dfndata/commands/commands.dfn to make it easier to give shard admins (via 'make admin) a different default look than other GMs
Stackable items given to newly created characters will no longer by default be marked as newbiefied/blessed items
Added new Character JS Properties
.actualDexterity // Returns the actual dexterity (minus temporary mods) of the character
.actualIntelligence // Returns the actual intelligence (minus temporary mods) of the character
.actualStrength // Returns the actual strength (minus temporary mods) of the character
Updated 'get command (js/commands/targeting/get.js) to support fetching actualDexterity, actualIntelligence and actualStrength properties for Characters
Fixed an issue where 'wipe command could wipe NPCs and/or multis despite those being set as "unwipable"
Fixed an issue where NPCs would be stuck not moving if they ended up trying to flee from non-existent targets
Fixed issue where sub-commands would still execute despite cancelling target cursor when using AREACOMMAND, just without being limited by such pesky things as coordinates (js/commands/targeting/areacommand.js)
Updated AREACOMMAND to support adding/removing script triggers (js/commands/targeting/areacommand.js)
Updated CSTATS command to support showing all script triggers attached to an object (js/commands/targetin/gumps.js)
Updated GET (js/commands/targeting/get.js) and SET (js/commands/targeting/set.js) commands to support adding/removing script triggers from objects
Updated the following JS scripts to use AddScriptTrigger() method instead of .scripttrigger property:
kindling script (js/item/kindling.js)
key script (js/item/key.js)
pitchers script (js/server/resource/pitchers.js)
houseSign script (js/server/house/houseSign.js)
banker script (js/npc/ai/banker.js)
Added new option in UOX.INI under [settings] section:
MAPDIFFSENABLED=0/1 // If enabled, server will attempt to load diff files, and send "Enable Map-diff files" packet to client to also load these. Disabled by default.
Server no longer loads map/statics diff files by default, nor does it send packet to client to request loading these files, as only client versions below 7.0.8.2 will actively load these files. Can be re-enabled with new UOX.INI setting mentioned above!
Fixed incorrect ID for gargish dagger in CHandleCombat::getWeaponType()
Added missing weapon entries in CHandleCombat::getWeaponType(): bladed whip, barbed whip, spiked whip, gargish talwar
Fixed an issue that would show the end part of some tiledata names as garbled text instead of cutting off the text(!) at 20 characters
Fixed an issue with advanced character creation template when using ClassicUO client, which sends a profession value of 255 instead of 0 when no profession template has been selected.
Fixed an issue where clones of NPCs that can split in combat didn't get the NPC flag correctly set
Guild titles are now removed for players who leave their guilds
Enabled closing some hard-coded gump menus using right-click (howto, guild, towns, wholist, addmenu, craftmenu, info)
Fixed an issue where adding base items using 'add [itemID] would sometimes get false positive hits from harditems.dfn, depending on the length of the itemID
Fixed an issue where items added using 'add [itemID] would not get names applied properly from harditems.dfn
Item/NPC DFN tag GET can now inherit a random parent by adding additional values separated by spaces. Syntax:
GET=parent1 parent2 parent3 (etc)
Fixed an issue where NPC backpacks would not have the max item capacity set properly
Added new properties for CItem objects (also exposed as JS Item Properties):
maxRange // max distance a ranged weapon can fire at (replaces ARCHERRANGE ini setting)
baseRange // base distance throwing weapons (when implemented) can be used at
Added support for new Item DFN tag that replaces global UOX.INI setting ARCHERRANGE:
MAXRANGE=# // Specifies max range of ranged weapon
Added support for new Item/NPC DFN tags to support randomizing elemental resistances:
RESISTFIRE=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
RESISTCOLD=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
RESISTLIGHTNING=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
RESISTPOISON=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
Added support for two new DFN tags in dfndata/race/races.dfn that can be used to allow/ban lists of equipment for specific races
ALLOWEQUIPLIST=#
BANEQUIPLIST=#
Added support for new section in dfndata/race/races.dfn - [EQUIPLIST #], which can be used to define lists of equipment that is whitelisted or banned for specific races.
Fixed a bug that would report incorrect weight in tooltips for Item/NPC spawner objects
ScriptSections are now reapplied for items bought by players from NPC vendors
Fixed an issue where players could drop an item on the ground and other players would still see the item after it was picked up, because of a failed distance check vs old location coordinates (in pack) instead of vs current location on ground
Fixed a bug with players being able to use last-target macro to target objects picked up and held by other players on their cursor
Updated all references to "devinelock" to be "divinelock" instead - this includes the name of the JS Item property
Fixed house commands triggering (useless) targeting cursors for players onboard boats
Changed default statcap in UOX.INI from 325 to 225

Added JS Function to get total amount of accounts on server - GetAccountCount()
Added JS Function to get total amount of players online - GetPlayerCount()
onSwing JS Event can now trigger in scripts attached to items, not just items attached to characters
Added some JS Functions to expose some hard-coded constants to JS scripts:
BASEITEMSERIAL() // Base item serial
INVALIDSERIAL() // Invalid serial
INVALIDID() // Invalid ID
INVALIDCOLOUR() // Invalid colour
Fixed an issue where JS character property .colour would modify origSkin property instead of colour
Fixed an issue where JS character property .guildTitle returned the name of the character instead of the guild title
Character JS property .poison can now also be used to set a character's poisoned level, not just read it
Exposed Item property to JS engine:
.ac // armour class for item (0-128). Primarily used for setting race-restrictions for equippable items, i.e. race X cannot equip items of armour class Y.
.def // defensive value of item (Physical resistance post-AoS, AR in older UO)
// NOTE: The following properties don't actually do anything yet, but can still be used in custom JS scripts if desired
.resistCold // Cold resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistHeat // Heat/Fire resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistLight // Light resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistLightning // Energy/Lightning resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistPoison // Poison resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistRain // Rain resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistSnow // Snow resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%

.damageCold // Weapon deals Cold elemental damage (true/false)
.damageLight // Weapon deals Light elemental damage (true/false)
.damageLightning // Weapon deals Lightning elemental damage (true/false)
.damagePoison // Weapon deals Poison elemental damage (true/false)
.damageRain // Weapon deals Rain/Water elemental damage (true/false)
.damageSnow // Weapon deals Snow/Ice elemental damage (true/false)
Added new UOX.INI setting under [server] to enable/disable shard response to ConnectUO server polling (disabled by default)
Sub-commands are no longer included when registering packets to be overloaded via RegisterPacket function, as that part was never fully implemented. Packet-hook scripts can be setup for specific packet IDs, but any sub-command checking will need to be done in the script itself
JS Packet Method GetDWord() now uses JS_NewNumberValue instead of INT_TO_JSVAL to read from the socket buffer, to better handle large numbers, which could previously be returned with wrong values.
JS Function CalcItemFromSer() now uses a JS_GetStringBytes() and str_value() combo instead of JSVAL_TO_INT() to read the data provided in the function argument. This allows JS scripts to provide item serials to the function directly without needing to split it into four parts first (though that still works)
Fixed issue where JS properties for multis didn't always return correct values
The 'set command can now be used to set the armour class of items ('set ac #)
Reimplemented 'tweak command in JS engine (js/commands/targeting/tweak.js) - can be used to view and modify properties of characters, character skills, items, multis and regions (target ground)
Added placeholder packet-hook script (js/server/network/0xf1_connectUoServerPoll.js) to handle responses to ConnectUO server polling. By default this script does nothing, but serves as a placeholder for drop-in replacement scripts generated specifically for each shard by the ConnectUO service.
Updated some commands to support an alternate STATIC keyword (can also be ommitted) to add base items:
'add static itemID
'tile static itemID
Updated some commands with support for randomization. Provided itemID will be randomized based on provided rndValue:
/js/commands/targeting/add.js:
'add itemID rndValue
cmdtable.cpp and targeting.cpp:
'tile itemID rndValue
'tile itemID x1 x2 y1 y2 z rndValue
Updated js/commands/custom/repeatingcmds.js to support 'm delete as an alias for 'rremove
Added 'props as an alias for the 'tweak command
Added 'teleport as an alias for the 'tele command (js/commands/targeting/tele.js)
Added 'shavehair and 'shavebeard as aliases for 'kill hair and 'kill beard (js/commands/targeting/kill.js)
Added 'noinvul and 'mortal aliases for the 'invul false command (js/commands/custom/misc-cmds.js)
Added 'immortal and 'invul (without parameter) as aliases for the 'invul true command
Added 'bringtopack as an alias of 'movetobag command (js/commands/targeting/movetobag.js)
Updated check for cancelling of target cursor in various JS scripts
Minor updates to various JS scripts
Fixed issue where some item definitions in dfndata/harditems/harditems.dfn and dfndata/items/building/lighting.dfn used comma instead of space as delimiter for the VALUE tag, which thus never got applied
Updated all NPC definitions to let NPCs spawn facing in random directions
Updated CMakeSettings.json to include options for 64-bit Debug/Release builds
Updated build notes in documentation and readme
Added version info and other details to uox3.rc
Minor updates to JS docs and UOX3DFNTags

Fixed an exploit allowing one to equip items from great distances.
Caused houses to boot non-owners who log out inside.
Fixed several issues with create menus.
Modified BODYCOLOUR in commands.dfn to not change the color if it is set to 0.
Added STRIPHAIR and STRIPITEMS in place of STRIPOFF in the commands.dfn.
Caused SetName() to call Dirty() in order to update an object.
Fixed a minor issue with SET commands.
Added SET command MOREXYZ.
