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 A new message is displayed about any gold withdrawn from player's bank.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]]

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)
Fixed misc edge-case-issues with handling of timestamps via GetCurrentClock() in various scripts, especially those stored in custom object tags. In cases of timestamps supposed to persist for a long time (and across server restarts), this is now handled via Date.now() instead.

Added Adaptive Performance System (APS) that dynamically adjust how often NPC AI/movement is checked based on overall shard performance. If performance drops below defined threshold, UOX3 gradually slows down checks for NPC AI/movement to prioritize player movement/speech/command responsiveness. If performance climbs back up above threshold, slowdowns are gradually removed. The following UOX.INI options have been added under [system] category to support this system:
APSPERFTHRESHOLD=50 // Performance threshold (measured in simulation cycles/sec) below which the APS kicks in
APSINTERVAL=100 // How often (in milliseconds) the APS checks performance and makes adjustments (if needed) to balance out shard performance
APSDELAYSTEP=50 // How much the delay timer is modified by (in milliseconds) each time APS makes adjustments
APSDELAYMAXCAP=2000 // Max amount of of delay APS can introduce for NPC AI/movement handling when attempting to restore shard performance

minskill, // min skill to mine ore
ingotName, // name of ingot created from ore
makemenu, // makemenu entry for crafting something from ingot
oreChance, // default global chance of finding this ore type
scriptID // script attached to mined ore
],
orePrefChance // Chance of finding this ore type in given town region
.GetOreChance() // Get base chance of finding any ore in town region
Moved Mining skill plus gravedigging feature from hard code to scripts (js/skill/mining.js) to make it easier to maintain and/or customize, and removed hard coded variants
Gravedigging now relies on the ore resource system behind the scenes to restrict how often graves in a given area can be dug up
Fixed some incorrect references to .worldNumber Character property in misc scripts (should be .worldnumber)
Made some "hard-scripted" system messages in misc scripts use dictionary system instead

onPickup( iPickedUp, pChar, iCont )
Added tracking of total playtime per individual character, and per account across all characters, and exposed these properties to JS engine:
.totalPlayTime // Account property, total playtime across all chars
.playTime // Character property, total playtime on given character only
Added new player-accessible command ('playtime) to spit out the playtime of current character/account as a whole (js/commands/playtime.js)
Implemented first version of Young Player System:
Replaced the UNUSED9 account flag with YOUNG, to be used by Young/New Player System
Added new JS Account property that gets/sets whether player account is considered Young:

Restricted Young players from recalling or gating to Felucca facet
Young players can instantly logout from anywhere, at any time

m_thief_guildmaster (dfndata/npc/male_human.dfn)
f_thief_guildmaster (dfndata/npc/female_Human.dfn)

Added two new character properties:
.isDisguised // true/false flag for character being disguised
.origName // used to store character's original name before disguise went into effect
Moved implementation of Stealing skill from code to script (js/skill/stealing.js) and revamped it completely in the process. Changes include:
New features:
Town rare stealing - any item marked as "special stealable" with new item property .stealable can be stolen, even if it's locked down by a GM on the ground, or inside a container
When stealing from item piles, thief can potentially steal the amount of items that makes up the max weight limit for what they can steal, from those piles
Chance to successfully steal is now affected by whether there are any characters (NPCs or Players) that witness the attempt. Depends on distance to character, and direction character is facing
Players now become "permagrey" when successfully stealing from another player, regardless of whether it's witnessed
Players now receive a "stealing" flag when stealing from another player, regardless of whether it's witnessed
Stolen items cannot be removed from thief's backpack for 30 seconds following the theft of the item (AoS core shard era and above)

Stealing script options:
Allow stealing entire containers (off by default pre-AoS)
Return stolen items on thief death (off by default)
Temporarily make stolen items immovable in thief's backpack (on by default post-AoS)
Temporarily protect traded items (on by default)
Let dexterity affect chance for successful theft (off by default)
Let light level affect chance for successful theft (off by default)
Allow stealing from NPC Guards (off by default)
Allow stealing special loot from monsters (on by default post-ml)
Moved implementation of Snooping skill from code to script (js/skill/snooping.js), with some changes:
Players cannot snoop pack animals from inside a house, if the animal is outside
The deeper inside main backpack a container sits, the harder it becomes to snoop inside it
Included an optional feature that lets targets of snooping gradually become more aware, increasing the difficulty of succeeding. This awareness fades over time.
Players have a chance to stay hidden while snooping, based on their Hiding skill
Karma is now lowered by snooping regardless of success or failure
Added tracking system for "aggressors" in combat. A player attacking someone (regardless of flag status) will be marked as aggressor to that someone for 2 minutes

Player combat targets and war mode are now cleared on logout
Players will now be unable to hide if within visual distance and in line of sight of their attacker or current target in combat
Server leave-announcement now only happens after the logout timer has expired, instead of the exact moment the player presses the logout button

NPCs now have the ability to temporarily ignore unreachable targets in combat. If attacked by someone they are ignoring, they will enter evade state and try to move away from that someone.
SpawnRegions now support NPCLISTS with weighted entries. Example of an NPCLIST with 75% chance of spawning some kind of orc, and 25% chance of spawning a ratman archer:
[NPCLIST example]
{
75|NPCLIST=allorc
25|ratman
}
Added 3 additional "all purpose" item properties (.more0, .more1 and .more2) and exposed those to JS engine. These work the same as more/morex/morey/morez
Mark spell now stores a 4th property on recall runes - instanceID. This is stored in the rune's .more0 property.
Recall and Gate spells now check the recall rune (or runebook)'s 4th location property - instanceID - to determine where the player ends up
Fixed a server crash related to equipment being automatically unequipped if character is no longer strong enough to have it equipped
Added new JS Function to check if any characters at specified location potentially block movement:
DoesCharacterBlock( x, y, z, worldNum, instanceID ) // returns true if a character exists at given coordinate (within z +/- 4)

Fixed a bug where certain JS Functions, Methods and Properties would occasionally pass incorrect values to scripts that called upon them. Scripts that rely on the GetCurrentClock() Function, the .GetTimer() Method, .decayTime, .logTime, .oreTime and .fishTime Properties might need to be updated to account for the fix, which causes larger values to be passed in than before.

inRange( srcItem, pCharInRange )
inRange( srcChar, objInRange )
When UOX3 retrieves data from the onToolTip() JS event to potentially display custom object tooltips, it will use the ID specified in a temporary JS tag ("tooltipCliloc") on the object as the clilocID being sent to the client with the tooltip text returned from the script. If no such tag exists on the object, it defaults to cliloc ID 1042971.
Added new JS event that triggers _after_ an item has been removed from a container (no return values supported):
onContRemoveItem( iCont, objRemoved, pChar )

onMoveDetect( srcObj, pChar, rangeToChar, oldCharX, oldCharY )
Added new JS script (js/server/misc/dungeon_traps.js) for handling trap mechanics in (primarily) dungeons. The traps all trigger on collision, and use different parts of the "morez" property to determine enabled/disabled status, damage, min skill required to disarm, max skill at which player can still gain skill from disarming.

'add tree [trunkID] [leafID]
'radd tree [trunkID] [leafID]
Updated AreaCommand GM command to include support for setting the .decayable property on multiple items at once. Also updated the script with appropriate system messages throughout, which now also show how many items were affected by use of the command

Updated various JS scripts that used GetSByte() to retrieve Z of last targeted location from Socket to manually add height of targeted tile for client version below 7.0.9 only
Fixed an issue where items created with 'decorate load command could be set as decayable
Fixed an issue where multiple timers could be running on a single door by manually opening and closing it repeatedly. Closing a door will now kill the associated timer on said door.

Updated name of all secret doors in dfndata/items/building/doors.dfn to inherit name from tiledata instead
Added secret door IDs to dfndata/harditems/harditems.dfn
Item and NPC definitions can now make use of randomization for the ID tag, for more variety. Syntax:

Fropoz's Journal // [fropoz_journal]
Translated Gargoyle Journal // [translated_gargoyle_journal]
Kabur's Journal // [kaburs_journal]
Updated code for spawn containers to allow spawning more than one item per container; by default, a spawn container will now spawn every item from an itemlist if set as the spawnobjlist property for that spawn container. These itemlists can contain direct item references, references to other itemlists or even lootlists
Added 4 levels of dungeon treasure chests that can be placed out as spawn objects in dungeons, with items and valuables spawning inside on a regular interval. These can be found in dfndata/items/gmmenu/dungeon_treasure_spawners.dfn, with associated itemlists being found in dfndata/items/itemlists/itemlists.dfn (dungeontreasureloot1, dungeontreasureloot2, dungeontreasureloot3 and dungeontreasureloot4). They can also be located in the 'add menu under GM Menu > Dungeon Treasures
Added spawn regions for dungeon treasure chests in the following areas:
Covetous, Deceit, Despise, Destard, Fire, Hythloth, Ice, Shame, Wrong, Yew Crypts, Daemon Temple, Trinsic Passage, Cove Orc Fort, Terathan Keep, Vesper Bank, Trinsic Bank
Updated Lockpicking skill to check for the existence of skill difficulty on locks, and use those to perform skill checks when attempting to pick those locks. Difficulty on a lock can be setup using the morey property using this syntax:
morey=[0x00] [0x00/0x01] [0x##] [0x##] // the first part is unused, the second is used with Unlock spell, the third and fourth are the minimum skill to unlock and the max skill that can be gained from picking the lock
Updated Unlock spell to check for existence of morey property value on lock. If there's a value, and the second part of the value is not 0x01, Unlock cannot be used to unlock the lock. By default, dungeon treasure containers level 1 and 2 are unlockable with the Unlock spell, while levels 3 and 4 are not, and require Lockpicking skill to unlock.
Fixed an issue where player characters would "skip a step" when moving under certain circumstances (like coming out of hiding)

Fixed some issues that would crash decorate script when attempting to use event subcommands without event names
Renamed 'fixcontweight command to 'fixcont and updated it to also fix maxItems property for containers that don't already have that set
Updated container world file template for Felucca with containers with proper maxWeight and maxItems seet
Updated admin welcome gump (js/server/misc/admin_welcome.js) to also include containers (previously missing) and disable facets that don't have any decorations yet. Anyone who already used the admin welcome gump to place default decorations for their shards can use 'decorate load containers to add the missing containers.
Changed how house addons are marked as addons; they will no longer have their item type set to 201 (IT_HOUSEADDON), as this would override any existing item type functionality of the items being setup as addons (like the dresser, which is a container). Instead, house addons are now marked with a custom tag "addon", which is used by scripts like axe.js to identify them as house addons instead of relying on the item type.
Uncommented the dresser house-addon from 'add menu, as it now works as intended
Added house-addons to ArchitectShopping SHOPLIST so they can be bought from Architect shopkeepers for roughly the cost of the material it would have taken to craft them. This is a temporary solution until crafting these have been implemented.
Updated default region spawn file to evict the beekeeper from Skara Brae bank to make room for some actual bankers! The beekeeper is now tending to the bees outside the bank instead.

All leather containers are now dyable
Animals that belong in the Arctic (polar bears, snow leopards, walrus) will no longer spawn in forests and jungles
Hellhounds will no longer spawn in forest and jungles; they can now only be found in dungeons

GM/Admin characters can now drag immovable items out of their own backpack even with "allmove" disabled
A tip to enable "allmove" or modify item's movable property now shows for GMs attempting to pick up immovable items from the ground
Hungry creatures with AI type 6 (AI_ANIMAL) will no longer suicide by indiscriminately attacking creatures with AI type 2 (AI_EVIL), but will instead only attack "peaceful" animals, or - if really hungry - other types of predatory animals (including humans...)
