Added support for MultiCollections.uop. If present in the specified datafolder, this file will be preferred over the traditional multi.mul/idx files, and will enable access to the new multis contained within (punt)
Added dependency for static library of zlib-1.2.11, of which a minimal version is included in a subfolder alongside spidermonkey in the root UOX3 project folder. This is needed for compression matters related to UOP files and certain UO network packets
Added VS Solution (zlib.sln) to compile static-library of zlib-1.2.11 for Windows. Makefile for Linux/macOS also included.
Updated CMakeList.txt to include zlib references
Updated default DATADIRECTORY path in uox.ini to match current day default installation path of UO (thanks, dragonslayer!)
Added support for packet 0xE2 (New Character Animation, used to play animations in client v7.0.0.0+) via cEffects::PlayNewCharacterAnimation( CChar *mChar, UI16 actionID, UI16 subActionID, UI08 subSubActionID )
Added support for new animation packet in JS Character method DoAction() using a second parameter that specifies animation variation, which if present forces server to send new animation packet instead of old. This means the 'action/npcaction commands can now be used to play animations on gargoyles/humans in client v7.0.0.0+ using the following syntax: 'action [action subAction]
Created new enums for character actions and sub-actions, and updated code to refer to these instead of using "magic" numbers
Added new options in UOX.INI under [settings] section:
FORCENEWANIMATIONPACKET=0/1 // If enabled (default), forces the use of the new animation packet for playing various character animations for both NPCs in general and for player characters connected with client v7.0.0.0+
Updated various actions performed by players and NPCs to use new animation packet (combat, spellcasting, mining) if connected with client v7.0.0.0+ and ini setting to force new animation packet is enabled
Added basic support for gargoyle flying ability. Can now use flying ability itself to enter/exit flying state, and the state change will also get sent to nearby players. Flying players are treated the same way as mounted players; polymorph spells will auto-dismounts mounted/flying player, same rules for stealth applies to flying as riding, etc.
Exposed Character property to JS engine:
.isFlying // returns true if character is flying
Moved Orc and Ratman races from RACE 1 and 2 to RACE 22 and 23 in dfndata/race/races.dfn to make room for two new player races, that are applied to new player characters during character creation:
[RACE 1] - Elf
[RACE 2] - Gargoyle
Updated orcs and ratmen in dfndata/npc/humanoids.dfn with race IDs 22 and 23 respectively
Added items in dfndata/items/skills/tools/cooking.dfn to item menu under Skills > Tools > Cooking
Fixed an issue where moving items around within a container at max item capacity was not allowed
The GM command 'set can now modify a character's current mana using 'set mana #
Added JS command to get specific object property values (using same property names as 'set command):
'get [objectProperty]
Exposed Item/Character properties to JS:
.oldX // Previous X coordinate for object
.oldY // Previous Y coordinate for object
.oldZ // Previous Z coordinate for object
Exposed Character properties to JS:
.mana // Character's current amount of mana
Updated version of Winsock requested by UOX3 from 2.0 to 2.2
Exposed timer for updating NPC flags to [timers] section of UOX.INI:
NPCFLAGUPDATETIMER=5 // Interval in seconds between each time NPC flags are updated. Default adjusted down from 30 to 5 seconds
Fixed an issue where UOX3 was trying to output some debug/warning messages to console using the wrong console method
Made some small tweaks to NPC pathfinding to make NPCs more likely to pick a new target location when their old one is blocked
Added HP DFN tag to guard NPCs to prevent them from spawning with half health
Removed -lstdc++fs from Makefile and replaced with special instructions for users of gcc below v9.x
Fixed a buffer overrun issue with tiledata item names
Eliminated a bunch of compilation warnings in VS2017
Updated JS Method CreateDFNItem to allow creating items without referencing a socket/character. Syntax:
var myItem = CreateDFNItem( null, null, itemSectionID, amount, "ITEM", false, worldNumber, instanceID );
Added functional chessboard that operates on standard chess rules. Pieces cannot be removed from the board, snap to the chessboard grid when dropped, are subject to movement restrictions per chesspiece, will capture opponent pieces if landing on their square. Board can be reset by dragging king-piece off to the side of the board (js/item/gameboards.js and js/item/chesspiece.js)
Added functional checkerboard, with pieces that cannot be removed, can only move in diagonals, can jump across opponent pieces to capture them. Board can be reset by ??? (js/item/gameboards.js and js/item/checkerpiece.js)
Using the 'go command without any additional parameters will now open the GM travel menu (js/commands/go.js)
Fixed a compiler issue with GCC versions below 9.x in various Linux distros, by including iomanip library in UOPInterface.cpp and adding -lstdc++fs to the Makefile
Fixed a compiler issue with GCC versions below 9.x in various Linux distros, by including iomanip library in UOPInterface.cpp and adding -lstdc++fs to CXXFLAGS in Makefile
Added new Makefile that handles compiling UOX3 and Spidermonkey on both Linux and MacOS (punt)
Added VS solution (SpiderMonkey.sln) and VC++ project files for compiling SpiderMonkey on Windows (Xuri)
Updated SpiderMonkey from v1.6.0 to v1.7.0
Added optimization flag -O2 for release build in CMakeLists.txt in project root (Xuri)
Added StringUtility file with general common string manipulation functions (punt)
Updated RandomNum function to use a "seedless" random number generator from C++11 instead of the old C rand() function. (punt)
Overall code cleanup to remove/replace platform-dependent code (punt)
Replaced potentially unsafe usage of C string stuff like sprintf, vsprintf, vsnprintf, strncat, strcpy and strlen throughout the code with calls to a format() function containing only a single, safe use of vsnprintf, ensuring there's a single place of failure if there's anything to fix and and making it easy to potentially replace this with std::format from C++20 when the time comes. (punt)
Replaced usage of char in many places with std::string (punt)
Started process of replacing UString usage with functions provided through StringUtility instead (punt)
Replaced platform specific fileIO handling in Windows/Linux with cross-platform C++17 standard std::filesystem (punt)
Replaced platform specific time handling by using cross-platform chrono library (punt)
Removed UOX namespace to reduce complexity (punt)
Elimitated template code approach to singletons for more modern c++ constructs, removing dependices in the process (punt)
Removed ODBC support; it hasn't been touched since the initial implementation in 2008, and there is a lack of someone to maintain the code. (punt)
Removed some platform specific files like uoxlinux.h, which is no longer required (punt)
Removed legacy crash protection code, and removed support for cluox (punt)
Removed legacy "support" for Borland compiler (punt)
Removed legacy VC++ 6 Workspace/Project files, VS2005 Solution/Project files, as these are no longer supported (Xuri)
Removed legacy BUILD folder with outdated compilation instructions (Xuri)
Removed old Changelog file (merged into Changelog.txt) (Xuri)
Fixed a pointer bug for items in multis on world load (punt)
Fixed a dictionary related issue that caused segmentation faults on Linux/MacOS (punt)
Fixed an issue with callbacks to JS scripts that caused segmentation faults on Linux/MacOS (punt)
Paths in uox.ini should now load properly on all platforms regardless of whether those paths use slashes or backslashes, and whether or not they end in a slash/backslash. (punt)
Moved to c++17 style of threading, and got rid of threadsafeobject.cpp/h (punt)
Replaced parsing of UOX.INI tags with a system that's more easily maintainable (punt)
Added some new commands to js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js (Xuri)
cont // Targeted item will be made a container, set to nondecay and movable 2
endfight // Targeted character (and character being fought) will stop fighting
getmulti // Get multiObject for targeted item
finditem // Find item at layer X
movespeed // Set movement speed of target player (0x0 Normal, 0x1 Mounted, 0x2 Slow (walk only), 0x3 Hybrid ("jog"?), 0x4 Frozen)
Added new HTML based documentation in docs folder, and removed many old legacy docs that are either incorporated into this document already or no longer relevant for the current UOX3 version (Xuri)
