This changes all routine calls that wanted a specific type of stream ifstream/ofstream to the generic istream/ostream. So you can use stringstream, or other derived types.
Added script for NPC guildmasters (js/npc/ai/guildmaster.js). Only one NPC guild has been setup in the script so far (more can be easily added) - the Thieves Guild - which if joined grants players the ability to steal from other players and to buy disguise kits
Added two new NPCs, which there will now spawn one of in a random location in each city in Britannia (felucca facet):
m_thief_guildmaster (dfndata/npc/male_human.dfn)
f_thief_guildmaster (dfndata/npc/female_Human.dfn)
Added two new character properties to keep track of which NPC guild a player (or NPC) belongs to. These properties have been exposed as the following Character JS properties:
.npcGuild // ID of NPC guild, as defined in script
.npcGuildJoined // Timestamp for when player joined NPC guild
Added script for Disguise Kits (js/item/disguisekit.js). These allow members of the Thieves Guild to disguise themselves from the prying eyes of other players.
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)
Optional AoS feature to steal special consumable items from monsters
Updated default stealing rules:
Updated calculations to determine chance of success when stealing
Players cannot steal while engaged in combat
Players are revealed if hidden as soon as they use the stealing skill
Players can no longer steal items in the secure trade window
Players can no longer steal items from NPC shopkeepers
Both hands must be free to steal
Stealing now checks line of sight to target player/object
Only members of Thieves Guild (NPC guild) can now steal from other players, unless they are guild enemies
Players can no longer steal from NPC guards by default
Players can no longer steal from the same NPC monster more than once
Only gold and gems can be stolen from innocent players in dungeon/ll areas of Felucca, if core shard era is set to AoS or higher
Players can no longer steal items held on cursor by other players
Orcish masks now eplode if player steals from orcs while wearing it
If core shard era is set to LBR or lower, player is marked as an aggressor if they steal from another player
Guards can only be called on players that are flagged as criminals within the first 10 seconds of them being flagged
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
Added tracking system for "permagrey" flags - these are stored on a per-target basis, so a player can be flagged visibly as permagrey to multiple other players. Persists until player dies.
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
Fixed an issue that could cause swimming NPCs to swim on land
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)

Added some missing shield IDs (0xA649, 0xA64A, 0xA831, 0xA832) to IsShieldType() function
MAXRANGE item property previously only worked for ranged weapons; now it works for melee weapons too, and potentially allows melee weapons with combat range longer than 1 tile
MAXRANGE item property can now be used to define max combat range for melee weapons
Fixed an issue (non-critical) with .PlaceInPack() JS Method that would cause UOX3 to try adding items marked for deletion to refreshQueue and spam console with errors

Fixed incorrect alias for woodland armor (dfndata/items/gear/armor/other/armor/wood.dfn - thanks Dragon Slayer)
Fixed a critical issue with script context sometimes changing while executing a script, because of events in other scripts being triggered. Affected scripts can be safeguarded against this by the addition of a dummy callback function anywhere in the script: function _restorecontext_() {}
Fixed an issue with non-animal pets not gaining loyalty when being fed (thanks Dragon Slayer)
Added new JS Object Methods for Chars/Items/Multis to fetch list of custom tags associated with object:

Fixed an issue where no reagents were consumed when casting recall/gate spells via spell icons in runebooks (js/item/runebook.js)
Spawn Regions will now more accurately spawn objects near desired heights supplied via PREFZ tags. Using PREFZ=20 will attempt to spawn NPCs on the second floor of a building with ground level at Z 0, for instance.
Added a new DFN tag usable in Spawn Regions to define a definite Z level at which to attempt to spawn objects (skips some steps in the process and assumes the defined Z is a valid Z):
DEFZ=# // Defines a definite Z level to attempt to spawn an object at

When dropping items, UOX3 will now look for a valid surface to drop them on, and move the item to said valid surface if applicable
Fixed an issue with loading of MultiCollections.uop where max boundaries of each multi was not set on load, preventing features that relied on finding corners of building from working (like automatic ban location detection for houses)
Added new function in mapstuff.cpp to check flags on dynamic items, and exposed it as a JS Function with same name and parameters:

SPEECHLOG=1/0 // Toggles logging of player/staff speech
Fixed return value logic for onUseChecked/onUsedUnchecked JS events - was reversed by mistake!

MAXITEMS=# // 125 is the default for all containers if not set
Added new JS Item properties:
.maxItems // gets/sets item capacity for a given container
.totalItemCount // gets total item count in a container, including sub-containers
Updated item tooltips for containers to show accurate total item count, as well as to display max item capacity

Updated JS Method TextMessage() to support three extra, optional parameters. Note that if one optional parameter is included, all preceding optional parameters are also required!
speechTarget - What kind of target is this message intended for?
0 - Only visible for sender and receiver of message
1 - Visible to all players in range
2 - Visible to all NPCs and players in range
3 - Visible to all PCs everywhere + NPCs in range
4 - Visible to all PCs everywhere (broadcast)
5 - Only visible for the receiver of the message
speechTargetSerial - The serial of the receiver of the message, used if speechTarget is 0 or 5
speechFontType - The type of font to display the text in. Defaults to normal.
0 - Bold
1 - Normal with shadow
2 - Bold with shadow
3 - Normal
4 - Gothic
5 - Italic
6 - Small, dark
7 - Colourful
8 - Runic (only works with CAPS)
9 - Small, light
Added timestamp to worldsaves in console, to make it easier to see when a particular world-save was done
Added info about compiler/environment displayed at the top of the UOX3 console during startup
Updated dictionary files with new messages primarily related to housing
Updated JS item properties MORE, MOREX, MOREY, MOREZ and SERIAL, and character property SERIAL, to pass values to JS scripts using JS_NewNumberValue() instead of INT_TO_JSVAL if the property value cannot fit inside JSVAL (checked with INT_FITS_IN_JSVAL)
Added support in CResponse.cpp for client trigger word for securing containers in houses - TW_HOUSESECURE
Updated CMulHandler::CheckStaticFlag() to match with statics that cover/extend across the specified Z coordinate, not just ones that have the same base Z level
Updated CMulHandler::DoesMapBlock() to not deem map tiles as blocking if they are more than 16 Z (height of a character) higher than the specified Z coordinate to check
Exposed method for finding corners of a multi to JS engine:
.GetMultiCorner( cornerID ) - Gets coordinates for specified corner of multi (0 = NW, 1 = NE, 2 = SW, 3 = SE)
Exposed various functions related to map, statics and multis to JS engine:
CalcMultiFromSer( serial ) - Find a multi from a provided serial
GetMapElevation( x, y, z, world) - Returns the map elevation at specified coordinates
IsInBuilding( x, y, z, world, instance, checkHeight ) - Returns true if the specified location is inside a static building (underneath static items), or if player is inside a multi. If the checkHeight argument is true, player is only deemed inside a multi if there are multi-items above the player's head. If player is in a courtyard/on a rooftop, they will be deemed to be NOT in the building. checkHeight is not used for the static part of the function.
CheckStaticFlag( x, y, z, world, tileFlagID ) - Checks to see if any statics at given coordinates has specified tile flag
DoesStaticBlock( x, y, z, world, checkWater ) - Checks if statics at/above given location blocks characters
DoesDynamicBlock( x, y, z, world, instance, checkWater, waterWalk ) - Checks if dynamics at/above given location blocks characters
DoesMapBlock( x, y, z, world, checkWater, waterWalk ) - Checks if map tile at/above given location blocks characters
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 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)

Misc code and documentation cleanup:
Updated and standardized function comment blocks throughout entire codebase
Grouped getters and setters together in pairs and documented them as one
Removed empty and/or non-useful information from comment blocks
Removed unused function from cItem.cpp/h - IncID() - formerly used to change IDs for doors
Added new feature - Instances
Objects (characters, items, multis, spawnregions) can now make use of a 5th parameter to determine their location in the game world. In addition to the traditional X, Y, Z and WORLDNUMBER parameters, a new one has been added - INSTANCEID - that allows objects to exist at the same coordinates in the same world, but in different "dimensions". Code has been updated in multiple places to support this, and a default instanceID of 0 is assumed if nothing else is specified.
Added support for new DFN tag in town regions, spawn regions and locations - INSTANCEID (defaults to 0 if not present)
Added support for another start location parameter after worldNum in UOX.INI representing instanceID (defaults to 0 if not present)
Updated TWEAK menu to include WorldNumber and instanceID
Fixed BaseWeight option in TWEAK menu
Updated CBase_Teleport - now takes an optional 5th parameter instanceID
Updated SE_SpawnNPC now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_FindMulti now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_GetItem now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_FindItem now takes an optional 6th parameter - instanceID
Added new JS property for Items, Characters, Regions: .instanceID
Added JS property for Regions: .members - returns comma-separated list of town member serials
Updated JS scripts making use of the above-mentioned JS Methods/Functions
Updated dictionaries with new tweak menu entry texts
Exposed SpawnRegions to JS engine, and updated JS docs with details:

Linux compile fixes (thanks Malketh)
Hash.h warning fixed (thanks Philantrop)
Fixes to getRootPack() and getPackOwner()

This should greatly reduce compile time and filesize, along with the need to recompile after altering most headers
Removed the linux ifdefs around typedefd function declarations, this should work with gcc 3.2
Moved global loading functions into a new cFileIO() class to take them out of global scope
Fixed an issue causing items to not be sent to the client (thanks Malketh)
Moved some global structs into the CWorldMain class
Fixed a bug causing a crash on character / item creation
Moved all effects stuff into its own class to take it out of global scope
Changed the variable CChar::region to CChar::regionNum to avoid conflicts with the cTownRegion region[] indexes
Moved getbestskill(), isHuman(), and inDungeon() into the CChar class to remove them from global scope
Took npcSimpleAttackTarget() out of global scope
Rewrote restock() to make use of restockNPC()
Changed the typedef'd iterator in hash.h to HASHITERATOR to kill a Linux warning
Renamed cEffects::soundeffect() to PlaySound() and removed unneeded overloads
Fixed a bug causing executebatch to be set with locationcount data
Rewrote cEffects::bgsound()
Documented sounds.cpp
Misc minor cleanups / fixes
Removed:
sendItemsInRange() (CChar::Teleport() does the same thing)
Many #includes that were not being used
deathMenu()
respawnnow() and moved all of its code into command_respawn()
one instance of cEffects::scpSoundEffect() and renamed the other to PlaySound()
3/13/2003
Changed

Fixed an issue causing the server to puke when it attempted a restart
Moved SpawnRandomItem() into cItem class
Moved SpawnRandomMonster() into cCharHandle class
Broke necro.dfn into fishing.dfn and digging.dfn
Made better use of SpawnRandomItem() and SpawnRandomMonster()
3/12/2003
Added:
CPOpenGump and CPSpeech packet class to remove some global vars (Note these are pretty basic classes and someone
with a better understanding of how we handle sending/recieving packets could probably expand these to make better use of them)
Changed:
Moved many global vars into the CWorldMain() class
Cleaned ResetVars() in uox3.cpp as ResetDefaults() in CWorldMain() now handles much of that
Added a check to ensure text wasn't sent twice in talking(), should fix double-speech
Cleaned up cmdtable.cpp removing a couple duplicate entries, etc
Changed target() to only require 4 values (as the first two were always 0 and 1)
Removed many unneeded typedefs and globals
Went through cServerData() and noted unused server.ini entries
Moved title1(), title2(), and title3() to cClick.cpp since that is their only usage, made use
of MAX_TITLE to ensure we wouldn't overrun the buffers, and renamed them matching what title they were
