Misc cleanup and standardization of style and naming conventions in code and scripts
Added missing code for showing race in paperdoll based on ini setting
Players can no longer use Polymorph spell while incognitoed, or while under effect of tribal paint
Players can no longer use Incognito spell while polymorphed, or while under the effects of tribal paint
Facial hair is now removed from players who are under the effects of Incognito spell that changes their gender for female
Improved overall performance of NPC pathfinding (by nearly 60%!) by eliminating some double-work done when checking for blocking dynamics and statics
Optimized how the system for determining which internal map regions should have active NPCs; instead of there always being 9 active map regions surrounding any given player who's online, that number will now vary between 3 to 6 map regions, depending on how far the player is from boundaries between such map regions. This should reduce the amount of NPCs active and trying to pathfind at any given point when players are online.
UOX3 now adapts the time between each time it checks Spawn Regions based on how "full" the Spawn Regions are on average - the nearer they are to max capacity, the longer time between each time Spawn Regions are checked
Fixed an issue with reloading of spawn regions where UOX3 would forget about previously spawned NPCs/Items and respawn everything all over again. As part of the reload process, UOX3 now iterates over previously spawned objects and deletes these where appropriate
Added two new races to races.dfn - Ophidian (RACE 25) and Terathan (RACE 26) - which have been setup as racial enemies
Updated the race ID of relevant Ophidian and Terathan NPCs (dfndata/npc/arachnids.dfn and dfndata/npc/reptiles.dfn)
Added support for NPCs engaging other NPCs in combat if they are marked as racial enemies via races.dfn
Extended the amount of JS events supported by UOX3's JS engine from 96 to 192
Added new JS Event to allow overriding behaviour from Help button in paperdoll:
onHelpGump( pChar ) // Overrides default gump menu when pressing Help button in paperdoll
Added new JS Event to allow preventing characters from toggling on/off war/combat mode
onWarModeToggle( p Char ) // return false to prevent war mode toggle
Added new JS Event to allow overriding target selection in combat for default AI behaviours:
onAICombatTarget( pAttacker, pTarget ) // return true to select current target, or false to skip and look for another
Updated JS onDamage() JS event to allow returning false to override and prevent damage dealt to a character. Event must now return true to allow damage to go through
Updated JS Event onSwing to work for characters with no weapon equipped (iSwinging will be null, in this case)
Updated JS Object Method .KillTimers() to also work for Characters, not just Items
Added JS script that renders characters it's attached to immune to physical damage (js/npc/special/physical_immunity.js)
Renamed shadow_elemental.js to magical_immunity.js, as it's generic script that can be attached to any NPC
Added more pre-defined books to dfndata/misc/books.dfn (and dfndata/items/misc/books.dfn):
A Welcome (a_welcome) // Book by Blackthorn, dropped as loot by Betrayers
Added definitions for additional NPCs, with scripted special abilities where applicable:
Orc Brute (orcbrute) // Throws Orc Lords, cannot be targeted by provoked creatures
Orc Chopper (orcchopper) // Attacks deal AoE damage to nearby targets
Betrayer (betrayer) // Colossal Blow (stuns and peacemakes), AoE poison (2m range)
Golem Controller (m_golemcontroller/f_golemcontroller)
Golem (golem) // Colossal Blow (stuns and peacemakes)
Crafted Golem (craftedgolem) // Crafted version of golem
Exodus Overseer (exodusoverseer) // Magical Shield (immune to physical damage until shield down)
Exodus Minion Lord (exodusminionlord) // Magical Shield (immune to physical damage until shield down)
Exodus Minion (exodusminion) // Magical shield (immune to physical damage until shield down), periodic AoE burst
Added script that allows Tinkerers to craft golem followers via Clockwork Assembly items (js/item/clockwork_assembly.js)
Added script for mask of orcish kin, which when worn prevents all orcs from attacking the wearer (js/item/orcish_kin_mask.js)
Added AI script for Exodus clockwork NPCs, which amongst a few other things makes them spawn with a magical shield that prevents physical damage being dealt to them until the shield has been brought down by magic damage (js/npc/ai/monster/exodus_clockwork.js)
Added AI script for orc NPCs which prevent them from attacking characters wearing masks of orcish kin (js/npc/ai/monster/orc.js)
Added AI script for orc brute NPCs, which makes the NPCs toss orc lords (up to 10 in total) when attacked by magic spells (js/npc/ai/monster/orc_brute.js)
Added AI script for orc chopper NPCs, which makes the NPCs hit all nearby valid targets with their melee attacks (js/npc/ai/monster/orc_chopper.js)
Added script for NPC special ability Colossal Blow, which both stuns and adds a temporary peacemaking effect to targets (js/npc/special/colossal_blow.js)
Updated Provocation skill to disallow directing provoked creatures at targets with the custom tag provImmune present
Fixed an issue with initialization of wander areas for NPCs spawned via object spawners, which caused NPCs to not stick to their assigned areas, but wander according to their own free will. Can't have that!
Fixed some issues with itemlists pointing to non-existing items (a turnip and 10 of each magical reagent)
Fixed an issue where information on newly spawned characters would get sent twice to each nearby player
Changed default value of ACCOUNTFLUSH ini setting from 0.0 to 5.0 seconds
Misc minor cleanup of console messages during startup and shutdown
Additional work done to modernize string handling in gumps.cpp, commands.cpp, cmdtable.cpp, commands.h, CJSMapping.cpp, scriptc.cpp and scriptc.h (punt)

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)

Embraced the usage of R32, R64, SI16, UI16, SI32, UI32, SI64 and UI64 typedef aliases as replacement for built-in types throughout the sourcecode:
typedef float R32;
typedef double R64;
typedef signed char SI08;
typedef unsigned char UI08;
typedef signed short int SI16;
typedef unsigned short int UI16;
typedef signed int SI32;
typedef unsigned int UI32;
typedef signed long long SI64;
typedef unsigned long long UI64;
As part of this process, UI32 was redefined from unsigned long int to unsigned int, and SI32 from signed long int to signed int to ensure the size of variables using these remain the same (32bit) across both Windows, Linux and MacOS for both 32bit and 64bit platforms
Replaced instances of toLong() with toInt(), and toULong() to toUInt()
Replaced instances of "long" and "int" with SI32 where possible
Replaced instances of "unsigned long" and "unsigned int" with UI32 where possible
Replaced instances of "float" with R32 where possible
-JS Get/Set "vulnerable" handlers for character properties (Abaddon)
-willHunger with Get/Set HungerStatus() wrappers to CChar class (can now
selectively stop a character/creature from continuing to hunger)
-JS Get/Set "willhunger" handlers for character properties Changed:
Linux compile fixes (thanks Malketh)
Hash.h warning fixed (thanks Philantrop)
Fixes to getRootPack() and getPackOwner()
Removed many #includes from the global scope, including them in the specific files that need them
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 allowing the server to not have a dictionary.ZRO (which would cause a crash when a dictionary entry was called with no language)
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
3/11/2003
Changed:
Fixed a potentially very serious bugs with how containers were being set upon loading the world
Fixed possible re-adding of weight to containers and characters at load
Fixed a bug causing equipped items that were not weapons to take damage in combat
Minor cleanups / warning fixes / Linux compatability issues (punt)
