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 spawn region for spinner vendor in The Lord's Clothier's and The Right Fit shops in Britain

Added spawn regions for wandering healers outside every dungeon entrance in Britannia and Lost Lands
Re-integrated ocean spawn regions for ocean creatures (dolphin, walrus, water elemental, sea serpent) from the original community-based spawn file
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 custom AIs to existing NPC spawning in Khaldun dungeon:
Ancient Lich (summons other undead, and can turn into one of them for disguise)

[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/*)
Added new resource-harvesting scripts and added spawn regions for these in fields on farms all over Britannia/Lost Lands
cabbages (js/server/resource/cabbages.js)
canteloupes (js/server/resource/canteloupes.js)
carrots (js/server/resource/carrots.js)
garlic (js/server/resource/garlic.js)

pumpkins (js/server/resource/pumpkins.js)
squashes (js/server/resource/squashes.js)
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 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.
Updated changelog :)
Updated Ball of pet Summoning to use GetCurrentClock() instead of a timer for delay.
fixed misspelled socket
Added Item refresh So stats update correctly on use.
Fixed teleport_helper.js had wrong inrange object.

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)

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

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

Check/Verify Young status of players upon login
Attach young player script on login/creation for players on Young accounts

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

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
