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 A new message is displayed about any gold withdrawn from player's bank.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 with an internal movement check that prevented characters from moving in valid map areas in Felucca/Trammel from X 6144 to X 7168
Fixed an issue where .instanceID property was misspelled in 'xgo GM command script, causing characters to be teleported to an out of bounds area where they would no longer be saved (js/commands/targeting/x.js)
Added some additional error-checking to .Teleport()/.SetLocation() JS Method to prevent script-accidents from sending characters out of bounds.
Updated Poisoning skill to add poison-charges to weapons being poisoned. Charges are consumed when applying poison in combat (js/skill/poisoning.js)
Updated combat code to consume poison-charges if a poisoned weapon is used to poison an opponent
Updated shoplists for Blacksmiths and Weaponsmiths - they now buy/sell longswords (dfndata/items/shoplist.dfn)
Updated MageShopping shoplist for mage vendors - they now buy/sell mass curse scrolls (dfndata/items/shoplist.dfn)
Added new Spawn Region DFN tag that can specify which era or eras of UO (Multiple comma-separated entries supported) a given spawn region is valid for. Spawn region not valid for core shard era will be ignored. Syntax:
ERAS=UO,T2A,UOR,LBR,AOS,SE,ML,SA,HS,TOL
Added new Spawn Region DFN tag that allows using another spawn region as a "parent". All properties of this parent will be inherited except for these, which are ignored: ERAS, NPCLIST, ITEMLIST, NPC and ITEM. Syntax for new tag:
GET=# // Inherit a specified spawn region
Added spawn region for animal trainer vendor in Vesper stable
Added spawn region for fur trader/tanner vendors in The Best Hides of Britain

Added reagent spawns in overworld spawn regions in Britannia/Lost Lands
Added special reagent spawns in swamp areas
Added additional overworld spawn regions in Britannia/Lost Lands
Added spawn regions for Khaldun dungeon that spawn some new and some old NPCs:
Old: Zombies, skeletons, skeletal mages, skeletal knights, ancient liches
New: Cursed (and named) NPCs, shadowfiends, zealots of khaldun (knights/summoners), tentacles of the harrower
Updated size and positions of some existing overworld spawn regions
Fixed incorrect spawn region size for small island south of Trinsic
Added switch/door puzzle functionality in Khaldun dungeon using new switch/door combo script (js/item/dungeons/switch_door_combo.js)
Added "smart objects" in Khaldun dungeon that activate when you come close enough (js/item/dungeons/smart_activate_item.js)
Added teleport locations within Khaldun dungeon (js/teleport.scp)
Added custom AIs to existing NPC spawning in Khaldun dungeon:
Ancient Lich (summons other undead, and can turn into one of them for disguise)
Added DFN entries for new NPCs spawning in Khaldun dungeon, some with custom AIs:
[tentacles_of_the_harrower] -> Tentacles of the Harrower (life steal)
[shadowfiend] -> Shadowfiends (seek out and reveal hidden players)

Added new book DFN entries for Khaldun journals of Lysander, Tavara and Grimmoch - available as loot from the respective NPCs (dfndata/misc/books.dfn and dfndata/items/misc/books.dfn)
Added 25% chance for hit-animations and hit-SFX to play for targets in combat, instead of playing every time - can get very spammy
Monsters with actual weapons equipped (like Ophidian Enforcer with Halberd/Bardiche) will now get appropriate combat SFX for hitting with that weapon
Updated Healing skill to base cure/resurrection skill requirements on the calculated skill, rather than base skill (js/skill/healing.js)
Fixed an issue where healing with bandages and dying in the process would not properly reset the healing-related tags and skills used
Updated healing script to show a resurrection confirmation menu for players targeted with bandages for resurrect (js/skill/healing.js)
All skill usage states now reset on death, to prevent cases of players being "busy" while trying to use skills that got stuck due to script bugs.
The 'regspawn GM command now supports a new parameter called "max". Updated command syntax:
'regspawn # // perform a single respawn cycle in a specific spawn region
'regspawn all // perform a single respawn cycle across all spawn regions
'regspawn max // respawn ALL spawn regions to MAX capacity in one go
Added new UOX.INI setting that determines the maximum range at which NPCs can initiate attacks on players/NPCs (the old MAXRANGE=10 setting now instead defines max range at which players can initiate attacks on players/NPCs):
MAXNPCAGGRORANGE=10
Optimized performance by significantly reducing the number of line-of-sight checks performed by characters, especially in combat scenarios, or when evaluating potential targets for NPC AIs. The amount of checks done is also affected by the new ini setting for max aggro range.
Fixed an issue where both NPC and player characters would instantly drop one hunger level (from 6 to 5) upon creation since hungerrate was not initialized until after first hunger-event
Updated character priv property from UI16 to UI32, and added a new flag that determines if fame/karma title is hidden for character:
HIDEFAMEKARMATITLE (0x10000)
NPCs will no longer aggro other NPCs if the Z difference between them is greater or equal to 20 (i.e. they're on different floors), unless both are using ranged weapons and both are in range
Fixed an issue where players could get discounts from shopkeepers even though neither player nor shopkeeper were members of a NPC guild (js/npc/ai/shopkeeper.js)
Fixed an issue where the "premium" a player would get when selling items to a shopkeeper in the same NPC guild as them would be 110% extra on top of the item's value, instead of the intended 10% (js/npc/ai/shopkeeper.js) (Thanks, cobrag0318!)
Added missing tall straw hat to tailoring crafting scripts (Thanks, Dragon Slayer!)
Improved error reporting during compilation of individual scripts being reloaded - will now show more context and line number
onCombatEnd JS Event now also triggers when NPCs ignore their target and/or evade during combat
Updated 'decorate command to support saving/loading custom tags on items for world templates. These are stored after a @ symbol in the world template, each custom tag separated by a | symbol, and with each custom tag saved using this syntax: key$type$value
Updated resource-harvesting scripts to use script-specific global (const) variables, to avoid interference between different scripts (js/server/resource/*)

turnips (js/server/resource/turnips.js)
watermelons (js/server/resource/watermelon.js)
Updated CSpawnRegion::FindItemSpotToSpawn() function in cSpawnRegion.cpp to prevent duplicate spawning of exact same item in exact same location
Updated sectionid of all potion and scroll aliases to match main item, so they'll get correctly picked up by NPC shopkeepers (dfndata/items/magic/potions.dfn and scrolls.dfn)
Specified sectionid for backpacks, so it also gets applied to packs added using the alias [backpack] (dfndata/items/misc/provisions.dfn)
Fixed a code issue that prevented players from selling empty containers to NPC shopkeepers willing to buy such containers
Fixed an issue where field-spells (wall of stone, poison field, etc) would ignore dynamic/static items that should block these
Fixed an issue where field-spells could be cast into houses from the outside by standing next to a wall and targeting self
Fixed a War/Peace-mode desync between client and server by having server always notify client (using war-toggle packet) when the "at war" flag is toggled for player character
Fixed an issue with hiding skill that wouldn't allow player to hide after having acquired self as target in combat (through spellcasting, for instance) (Thanks, Dragon Slayer!)
Fixed an issue where mana/reagents were consumed and skillcheck performed before all spellcast-validations had succeeded, resulting in the occasional loss of reagents/mana when spellcasting was disallowed (code and js/magic/clumsy.js and level1targ.js)
Fixed an issue with lack of criminal-flagging for casting of hostile spells scripted in JS (clumsy, magic arrow, feeblemind) vs blue targets (js/magic/clumsy.js and level1targ.js)
Fixed some issues with Line-of-Sight checking code that returned incorrect results, which amongst other things affected spellcasting in areas with uneven terrain
Fixed some issues with movement code and climbing of ladders, in particular the rope ladder in the 2-story log cabin. Code now sets a "is climbing" flag when character steps onto a rope ladder, and uses that to help resolve some edge cases, and then unsets it when they step off.
Renamed section headers of some map-items in DFNs from "locationname" to "locationnamemap" for clarity (example: "britain" to "britainmap")
Fixed broken "map wrapping" when sailing to edges of map in Felucca or Trammel
Fixed a server crash related to attempts at reading data from invalid map tiles
Fixed some issues that prevented NPCLISTS containing other NPCLISTS and/or weighted NPCLISTS from working correctly
Updated spawn regions and NPCLISTS used for Yew/Cove orc forts to provide a better mix of weak/strong orcs, and fewer ettins

Corrected coordinates of Rock Dungeon region (dfndata/regions/regions.dfn)
Added regions for Sea Market (Felucca/Trammel), Blackthorn Dungeon (Felucca/Trammel) and Lakeshire (Ilshenar) (dfndata/regions/regions.dfn)
Fixed an issue with 'radditem and 'raddspawner GM commands which would not correctly set the Z of the added item/spawner to match target location (js/commands/custom/repeatingcmds.js)
Added two new repeating commands (js/commands/custom/repeatingcmds.js):
'rmovable # // Repeats bringing up targeting cursor to set movable property on multiple objects
'rnodecay // Repeats bringing up targeting cursor to set decayable property to false on multiple objects
Added new areacommand (js/commands/targeting/areacommand.js):
'areacommand name [string] // Sets name of all objects within targeted area to [string]
Updated 'decorate command script to better handle flags passed in via admin welcome script for things like facet addons (js/commands/decorate.js)
Updated fire breath script (js/npc/special/fire_breath.js) to get fire breath info per NPC based on their sectionID rather than their base body ID
Updated facet ruleset script (js/server/misc/facetRuleset.js) with an override for GMs trying to snoop players even in places where snooping is disallowed

Fixed a server crash from clients disconnecting while running server in debug mode
Improved how container updates are sent to players; now only sends to clients that have actually opened the container, and who are still within range
Added more information about UO data files being loaded during server startup
Enhanced the GM 'add menu to allow clicking directly on images of items/npcs to add them, and adjusted size of menus to accommodate this
Fixed an issue with fleeing NPCs that could cause them to attempt to flee across time and space, regardless of distance to target/attacker in combat
Added NPC AI that runs away from players if they get too close (even outside combat). Applied to hind, rabbits, squirrels, ferrets and various birds by default:
AI_ANIMAL_SCARED (aitype 12)
Fixed issues with NPCs fleeing forever, or getting stuck in flee/don't flee loop, by introducing max fleeing distance (50 tiles) and cooldown (30 sec) on fleeing
Updated onNameRequest JS Event to include third parameter with origin of name request, so script responses can be tailored appropriately:
onNameRequest( myObj, requestedBy, requestSource )
Potential values for requestSource:
0 - Speech/System Messages
1 - Guild Menus

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
Added new JS Methods for Region objects:
.GetOrePrefs( oreType ) // Get ore preference data for ore type found in town region. Returned as an array containing the following data:
orePrefData -> [
oreName, // name of ore
color, // color of ore
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
Added spawn region for banker NPCs in Serpent's Hold (dfndata/spawn/felucca/spawn_town_serpents_hold.dfn, dfndata/spawn/trammel/spawn_town_serpents_hold.dfn)
Fixed region definition of Ocllo to actually cover the entire town (dfndata/regions/regions.dfn)
Added numerous additional locations accessible with 'goplace # command, for key locations in Ilshenar, Malas, Tokuno Islands and Ter Mur (dfndata/location/location.dfn)

onCreatePlayer( pChar )
Added new JS Event that triggers for characters selecting a target with a spell. Complimentary to onSpellTarget, which triggers for targets selected with a spell:
onSpellTargetSelect( caster, target, spellNum )
Updated onCombatStart and onCombatEnd JS Events to also trigger for the other party in combat
Updated onPickup JS Event to include a third parameter - the potential container item was picked up from. Event now also triggers event in scripts attached to said containers:
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:
.isYoung
Added new Char timers:
TIMER_YOUNGHEAL // Restricts how often Young players are healed by NPC healers

Added new UOX.INI setting to enable/disable Young Player System (enabled by default):
YOUNGPLAYERSYSTEM=1
If Young Player System is enabled, all newly created player accounts are automatically marked with Young flag
Added new script to handle various restrictions and functions related to Young characters (js/player/young_player.js):
Young characters will have [Young] displayed over their head
Young characters will have their Young status checked and verified on every login + every stat/skill gain, to revoke the Young status if any of the following is true:
Account has a total playtime of more than 40 hours
Any character has more than 350 total (base) skill points
Any character has more than 70 skill points in a single skill
Any character has more than 150 total stat points
Any character has more than 80 stat points in a single stat
Young characters can renounce their Young status manually by saying the words "I renounce my young player status"
Young characters get two additional items upon creation:
a new player ticket (can be combined with any other players new player ticket for both players to get a reward)
a sextant (shows Young players directions to nearest moongate/bank regardless of where they are, as long as outdoors)
Young characters cannot target other player characters with hostile spells or skills
Young characters cannot be the target of other player characters' hostile spells or skills
Young characters can only cast beneficial spells upon themselves or other Young characters
Young characters can only be the target of beneficial spells from other Young players
Young players (and their pets/followers) cannot attack or harm any other players (or their pets/followers), nor themselves be attacked or harmed by any other players (or their pets/followers), whether from combat, spells, skills or items
Young players don't lose any of their items on death, and are teleported to the nearest healer upon death with all their items intact
Young players receive a warning upon entering dungeons that monsters there will be hostile
Updated global script (js/server/global.js) to:
Check/Verify Young status of players upon login
Attach young player script on login/creation for players on Young accounts
Give specific items to Young players upon creation
Added new script (js/item/corpse.js) that is assigned to all freshly created corpses. This script handles restrictions related to Young players interactions with corpses, and the interactions of other players with corpses of Young players
Updated JS Method .Carve() to return true/false depending on whether carving a corpse was successful
Updated Healer AI in code to heal nearby injured Young players
Updated Evil AI and Evil Caster AI in code to avoid selecting Young players as targets in combat outside of dungeons
Added a new section to UOX.INI - [young player starting locations] - that can be used to define starting locations for Young players. If only one such location is provided, all players start there. Otherwise, it matches the same starting location setup as the regular one - with one entry per town in Britannia.
Restricted transferring and/or friending of pets (code) and hirelings (hirelings.js) between Young and non-Young players
Restricted Young players from recalling or gating to Felucca facet
Young players can instantly logout from anywhere, at any time
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)
Fixed an issue where casting Wall of Stone inside a multi would lead to the wall of stone never expiring, because it was not correctly marked as a field spell
Reduced combat message spam; attacking messages now only appear when attacking targets who are not already fighting the attacker
Added a new character state - "passive combat mode" - primarily used by players when they tab out of combat. Tabbing out of combat will prevent the character from retaliating in combat if they're already fighting someone
Fixed several issues with dropping items through floors, tables and generally not being placed correctly when dropped inside multis
Hard-defined the Z-level at which some jewellers in Britain spawn to deny them rooftop access (spawn_felucca_town_britain.dfn and spawn_trammel_town_britain.dfn)
Added system messages informing shard staff with elevated command privileges why they are getting 100% skill check success, and no spellcast delay
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 new JS Item Methods to get/set the value (0-255) for specific parts (1-4) of temp variables ("more", "morex", "morey", "morez"):
.GetMoreVar( moreVarName, moreVarPart )
.SetMoreVar( moreVarName, moreVarPart, moreVarValue )
Updated Remove Trap script (js/skill/removetrap.js) to make use of GetMoreVar() and SetMoreVar methods
Updated inRange JS event to also trigger for Items with this event attached, when player characters come within update range. Updated syntax:
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 )
The JS Function SpawnNPC() can now spawn NPCs from NPCLISTS if provided with a boolean parameter flag (useNpcList). Updated syntax:
CChar SpawnNPC( npcSection/npclist, x, y, z, worldnumber, instanceID, useNpcList )
Added new JS Event to allow detection of movement near an object (items only, for now). Distance at which it triggers determined by part 1 of the item's MORE property. Use long ranges with care! Syntax:
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. Disarming renders trap inactive for 60 seconds. Implemented trap types:
Spike Traps // Active for ~5 seconds after triggered, deals damage every 1 second.
Giant Spike Trap // Active for ~1 second after triggered, deals high instant damage one time
Saw Traps // Active for ~5 seconds after triggered, deals damage every 1 second.
Gas Traps // Active for ~5 seconds after triggered, applies poison to target every 1 second
Fire Column Trap // Active for ~5 seconds after triggered, deals damage every 1 second after initial delay of 1 second
Stone Face Traps // Active for ~3 seconds after triggered, deals damage every 1 second after initial delay of 1 second
Mushroom Trap // Active for ~2 seconds after triggered, applies poison to target every 1 second after an initial delay of 1 second
Added dungeon traps to 'add menu, under Buildings > Decs > Dungeon Traps
Added new commands to make modifying IDs of items (and NPCs) easier:
'incid # // Increment/decrement ID of target by specified amount
'rincid # // Repeatedly increment/decrement ID of target/multiple targets by specified amount
Updated 'add and 'radd commands with new, optional syntax to make adding trees easier (potentially with GM tools/macros), as it will add both trunk and leaf at same location with a single command:
'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
Added new item script (js/item/gate_opener.js) that can be used to make switches/levers raise/lower multiple nearby gates. See script comments for details on setup
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.
Fixed incorrect IDs for secret doors in Item DFNs (they were off by 1, so would not work properly)
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:
id=[id1] [id2] [etc] // Example: id=0x0e42 0x0e43
Fixed MORE values of "hard scripted" books in dfndata/items/misc/books.dfn
Added Ice and Fire dungeon locations (dfndata/location/location.dfn) and added these to the GM travel menu (dfndata/item/travelmenu.dfn/travelmenu.bulk.dfn)
Fixed body ID for ancient wyrm NPCs, which also fixes their name (dfndata/npc/dragons.dfn)
Added more pre-defined books to dfndata/misc/books.dfn (and dfndata/items/misc/books.dfn):
Quest of the Virtues – Volume 1 // [quest_of_the_virtues_vol1]
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)
Added new decorations in default world templates for the following areas:
Covetous, Deceit, Despise, Destard, Fire, Hythloth, Ice, Shame, Wrong, Hedge Maze, Wind (city), Terathan Keep, Orc Caves, Ilshenar facet, Ilshenar dungeons
Updated decorations in default world templates for the following areas:
All cities in Britannia and the Lost Lands
Updated decorations in default world templates to address issues like missing water/swamp tiles, floor/roof tiles, etc. in various places
Added special behaviours in some areas:
Lever puzzle in Covetous
Monster-spawning brazier in Deceit
Switch/portcullis behaviour in Hedge Maze
Updated teleport.scp with teleport locations for:
Hedge maze, Hythloth lvl 2 teleport maze, Wrong dungeon, Buccaneer's Den to/from mainland, various Ilshenar teleport locations
Players flagged as criminals or non-innocent aggressors in PvP combat can no longer use public moongates
Pets will now teleport along with the player both when using moongates (public or spell-based), recall, object-based teleporters or hard-defined teleport locations from teleport.scp
Updated 'decorate save command to not save items that are inside multis (the multis themselves are not saved anyway!)
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.
Fixed issue where NPC vendors would not restock more than 1 leather tunic and/or leather gloves, because of a missing restock tag in the DFN entries for those items
Removed kindling from the shoplist of Armourer vendors
Bananas are now edible
Bowyer shopkeepers will now restock more than 1 shaft and/or feather
Provisioner shopkeepers will now restock more than 1 candle, lantern, various masks, kindling, flour
Jeweler shopkeepers will now buy some gems (star sapphire and tourmaline) they were previously not so interested in
Bowyer shopkeepers now sell fletching tools
Added fletcher's tools as newbie item for players starting with Bowcraft/Fletching skill
NPC shopkeepers now spawn with full stocks of goods, instead of the bare minimum
Fixed item weight tooltip for pileable items appearing in vendor shoplists
Fixed an issue where selling items to NPC shopkeepers would sometimes not visually remove the items from player's backpack
Fixed missing base_item inheritance and missing restock property for mount statues sold by animal trainers/stablekeepers, which prevented them from being presented for sale
Hairs and Beards no longer count towards the total item count showing for corpses
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
Silver Serpents have been removed from the "weakforestlist" NPCLIST, because they are anything but
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...)
Shifted [directories] section of UOX.INI further up in the file, to make it easier to find
Added new UOX.INI setting to control for which facets spawn regions are enabled (defaults to none):
SPAWNREGIONSFACETS=# // # is a bitmask that determines which facets to enable spawn regions for. Supported values:
0 = No facets enabled (default)
1 = Felucca
2 = Trammel
4 = Ilshenar
8 = Malas
16 = Tokuno
32 = Ter Mur
Examples: A value of 1 = only Felucca is enabled, value of 3 = Felucca + Trammel, 10 = Malas + Ilshenar, 63 = all facets enabled, etc.
Added new Admin commands to enable/disable spawn regions in specific facets (note that this does not affect already spawned objects):
'enablespawns <facetNum/facetName>
'disablespawns <facetNum/facetName>
Updated CSpawnRegion::doRegionSpawn() function to only spawn objects in spawn region if world associated with spawn region is enabled in SPAWNREGIONSFACET uox.ini setting
The community-based spawn file now comes bundled with UOX3, and shard admins can choose whether to activate the spawns from this file during the welcome gump that pops up first time they log in
Updated main UOX3 docs to add a simple filter feature, to make it easier to find stuff in the docs
Fixed some missing icons in dfndata/creatures/creatures.dfn
Updated server status HTML template page (dfndata/html/online.htf) to match other templates
Additional string handling modernization in magic.cpp, JSEncapsulate.cpp, jail.cpp, house.cpp, fileio.cpp, network.cpp, msgboard.cpp and mapstuff.cpp (punt)
