4a0b678787 Implementation of speedhack anti-cheat system
- [ADD] Introduction of speedhack anti-cheat system which can detect when players are moving faster than intended and throttle them (default) while also allowing custom reactions via JS events. This system is governed by the following new settings in [anticheat] section of uox.ini:
  - SPEEDHACKDETECTION=1 // Enables/disables speedhack detection system
  - SPEEDHACKTHROTTLEPENALTY=2000 // Movement throttle penalty (in ms) applied when speedhack is detected
  - SPEEDHACKMAXDEBT=350 // Max movement debt (in ms) player can accumulate before throttling occurs
  - SPEEDHACKMAXDEBTAVG=0.5 // Max (moving) average debt as a factor of SPEEDHACKMAXDEBT player can accumulate before triggering logging for suspicious activity
  - SPEEDHACKMAXCREDIT=-75 // Movement credit (in ms) that acts as buffer for regular players against jitter, lag, etc
  - SPEEDHACKGRACETHRESHOLD=2000 // Grace threshold to handle large server/network lag spikes.
- [ADD] Added new JS Events that allow reactions to detection/suspicion of speedhacking:
  - onSpeedHackDetection( pChar, deltaTime ) // Triggers when a player has crossed max threshold for speedhack detection
  - onSpeedHackSuspicion( pChar, rawMoveDebt, deltaTime ) // Triggers when a player has consistently crossed threshold for speedhack suspicion
- [ADD] New JS Socket Properties:
  - .moveDebt // Accumulated time debt in ms indicating whether player's movement packets arrive early (potential speeding) or late (lag)
  - .moveDebtAvg // Accumulated time debt in ms, on average over at least 100 samples
  - .moveBurstAllowance // Number of upcoming movement steps that will be processed without incurring debt or penalty
  - .nextMoveTime // Timestamp in ms for when next valid movement packet is expected to arrive
- [ADD] Added new system timers for Sockets and exposed to JS:
  - TIMER.SPEEDHACKPENALTY // Time until next time player is allowed to move after getting throttled by anti-cheat
  - TIMER.SPEEDHACKLOGGED // Time until next time suspicious speed-hack related behavior is logged
- [FIX] Fixed a 20+ year old movement desynch bug that would cause players to start rubberbanding after taking ~255 steps
- [UPD] Updated UOX3 and JS documentation with entries related to the new anti-cheat system,
- [UPD] Updated dictionary files with new system message for anticheat, and addressed some duplicate ID issues

82f473f00a Rework of passive stat regeneration
Updated code calculating passive health, stamina and mana regeneration for characters, based on new UOX.INI settings and bonuses from characters/items/races
	Added three new Character/Item/Race DFN tags to grant bonus health/stamina/mana regeneration:
		HEALTHREGENBONUS=# 	// 10 bonus points equates to 0.01 extra hp regen per second, independent of era
		STAMINAREGENBONUS=# // 10 bonus points equates to 0.05 extra stamina regen per second
		MANAREGENBONUS=# 	// 10 bonus point equates to 0.1 extra mana regen per second
		...also available as JS Properties:
			.healthRegenBonus
			.staminaRegenBonus
			.manaRegenBonus
	Updated get/set JS commands to allow getting/setting regen bonuses for health, stamina and mana
	Updated races.dfn to include default +2 health regen bonus for humans, and +2 mana regen bonus for gargoyles.
	Added new UOX.INI settings under [Skills and Stats] section:
		HEALTHREGENMODE=1 	// 0 = no passive health regen, 1 = default passive health regen
		STAMINAREGENMODE=1 	// 0 = no passive stamina regen, 1 = default passive stamina regen (LBR or below), 2 = AoS or beyond, 3 = SA and beyond
		MANAREGENMODE=1 	// 0 = no passive mana regen, 1 = default passive mana regen (LBR or below), 2 = AoS (Pub17), 3 = AoS/SE (Pub18 and beyond), 4 = ML, 5 = KR, 6 = SA and beyond
		HEALTHREGENCAP=#  	// Max cap for Health Regeneration Bonus stat per character
		STAMINAREGENCAP=# 	// Max cap for Stamina Regeneration Bonus stat per character
		MANAREGENCAP=#		// Max cap for Mana Regeneration Bonus stat per character
	Added new UOX.INI section ([default race bonuses]) with the following new settings for the 3 default playable races (only used if nothing else specified in races.dfn):
		HUMANHEALTHREGENBONUS=0 	// default health regen bonus for human race (2 from ML expansion onwards)
		HUMANSTAMINAREGENBONUS=0 	// default stamina regen bonus for human race
		HUMANMANAREGENBONUS=0 		// default mana regen bonus for human race
		ELFHEALTHREGENBONUS=0 		// default health regen bonus for elf race
		ELFSTAMINAREGENBONUS=0 		// default stamina regen bonus for elf race
		ELFMANAREGENBONUS=0 		// default mana regen bonus for elf race
		GARGOYLEHEALTHREGENBONUS=0 	// default health regen bonus for gargoyle race
		GARGOYLESTAMINAREGENBONUS=0 // default stamina regen bonus for gargoyle race
		GARGOYLEMANAREGENBONUS=0 	// default mana regen bonus for gargoyle race (2 from SA expansion onwards)
	Updated UOX3 Documentation with new feature section on Stat Regeneration with details on stat regeneration rules and recommended settings per UO era
	Added support for Medable armors (have no effect on meditation skill and/or passive regen of mana when worn) and Mage Armors (can turn non-medable armor into medable armor)
		These properties are defined per armor piece using the first and second bits of the MORE property:
			MORE=0x1 0x0 0x0 0x0 // Medable Armor
			MORE=0x0 0x1 0x0 0x0 // Mage Armor
		The following armor types have been marked as medable by default:
			leather armor, leather ninja armor, leather samurai armor, leaf armor, gargish cloth armor, gargish leather armor and all hats and masks
	Updated JS Method .Defense() to support optional fourth and fifth parameters - excludeMedableArmor (true/false) and includeShield (true/false)
	Updated CalfDef function to support including shields in the calculations, and updated mana regen code to include shields when checking for equipped armor
	Updated Meditation skill JS script to exclude medable armor from armor check, include shields, and apply different rules for active meditation depending on mana regen mode
	Updated stat window to include defensive rating of shields (based on Parrying skill) and/or elemental resistances (if enabled in ini)
	Added a new property to CRace class, which is automatically set and incremented as UOX3 loads in races from races.dfn: raceID
	Added new Getters/Setters for CRace class to retrieve ID of a specific Race object
	Updated JS property .id for Race JS Object to return new race ID instead of iterating through list of races to compare race object and return index
	Reloading DFNs now also reloads Races

68e71b83df 0.99.5[RC2]
Added support for an additional optional parameter in the RESOURCE tag in Create/Crafting system to make it easier to distinguish between resources with same ID, color but different name - moreValue. This can be set for a resource using the Item DFN tag MORE=#. Syntax:
	RESOURCE=id/resourcename amount color moreValue
Updated ResourceCount() and UseResource() JS Methods to support optional paramter moreValue
Updated internal quantity functions (GetSubItemAmount, GetItemAmount, DeleteItemAmount, DeleteSubItemAmount, GetBankCount and DeleteBankItem) in code to also compare against moreValue, if passed in.
The above functions will now also prioritize reducing remaining uses on an item (if any) over consuming the item itself
Added new crafting menu and create DFN entries for Cooking skill
Fixed an error with wheat.js that could cause flour mills to get incorrect IDs assigned
Added some missing doors in a Serpent's Hold building to default world templates
Players can now demolish a tent multi and convert it back to a deed by chopping up the tent's (empty) chest with an axe
GMs can now force the removal of a tent multi by using the 'remove command and targeting the tent's chest (whether empty or not)
Fixed some issues with 'wipe command that prevented some items (including multis) from being removed
Added a new admin-command to force the removal of a targeted multi and all items contained within: 'removemulti

69a8c090cd 0.99.4x
Fixed an issue where the color of NPC corpse names would not always match up with the NPC's flag color
Fixed a bug where the baseRange and maxRange properties of ranged weapons would not get saved to world files. These values are now saved in the format of RANGE=baseRange,maxRange
Changed the way items are added to containers, to ensure that the order in which the items are displayed to the player always reflects the order in which they were added; now the most recent item added/moved in a container will always be rendered on top of older items.
Made adjustments to how items are randomly added to containers; should use more of a given container gump's available area now
Exposed Item property to JS engine, which contains serial of the creator of an item:
	.creator 	// contains serial of the creator of an item. If set, maker's marks will show up in the item's tooltip
Fixed an issue where JS engine would lose track of script context if one script used CreateDFNItem() or SpawnNPC() functions and the new objects had events that triggered upon creation. UOX3 now restores the original script context at the tail end of these functions.
Added new JS Event to allow inserting custom tooltip text for objects, which will be displayed in tooltips right after the object name. Any text returned from the event will be displayed, and the text can make use of the same HTML tags as gumps to make changes to color, font, etc.
	onTooltip( myObj ) 		// Triggers for objects right before the object's tooltip properties are sent to client
Updated 'tweak and 'set commands to refresh item being modified if movable state of item changes, so the change is reflected in nearby clients
Fixed an issue with NPC vendors and items bought from players not being properly removed from the vendor's "bought container" when players buy them again
Ported Item Identification skill from code to JS (js/skill/itemid.js) and removed hard-coded version
Implemented magic item generator in JS (js/item/magic_item.js). When this script is attached to an NPC, it has a chance to generate magic weapons, armors, wands/staffs and rings as loot on the NPC's corpse when slain. The chance of getting quality magical items increases with the fame level of the NPC in question. The types of magical items generated follows the pattern of such items as implemented in UO prior to the AoS expansion.
	Examples:
		exceedingly accurate war hammer of vanquishing
		substantial, accurate axe of power and Daemon's Breath
		silver long sword
		massive platemail arms of Protection
		metal shield of defense
		durable ringmail tunic of guarding
	All magic items have a chance to have spell effects attached (with rings/wands being guaranteed to have these), with a limited amount of charges available. For weapons, these effects activate on successful hits in combat, while for armors they activate on equip, and then periodically as long as the item is worn. Rings and wands/staffs have to be manually activated and targeted - with the exception of rings of invisibility, which activate the moment you equip them!
	Related scripts:
		js/item/magic_armor_equipeffects.js
		js/item/magic_weapon_accbonus.js
		js/item/magic_weapon_equip.js
		js/item/magic_weapon_spell_attack.js
	The magic item loot generation script has been attached to a number of different NPCs, all of which now have a chance to drop magic items as loot when defeated.
A bonus magical item - the glacial staff - has also been implemented (js/item/magic_glacial_staff.js), and has a chance to drop as loot from Giant Ice Serpents!
Fixed an issue with CustomTarget where the target message would not be displayed if the cursorType parameter was provided
Fixed bug with 'rename command, which referenced a non-existing variable that caused a script crash
Added additional object properties to 'get and 'set commands:
	.shouldSave 		// Determines if an item should be saved in worldfiles or not
	.baseRange 			// Determines the base range of a ranged weapon, less than which it becomes less effective
	.maxRange 			// Determines the max range of a ranged weapon, beyond which it cannot reach its target
The feature that allows stats like Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence to provide bonuses to skill checks has been turned into a UOX.INI setting, which is disabled by default. The bonuses have also been nerfed; they will no longer contribute more to the success of a skill check than the actual skill being checked!
	STATSAFFECTSKILLCHECKS=0/1 	// If enabled, stats can provide bonuses to skill checks based on the weighting for those stats as setup in dfndata/skills/skills.dfn
Updated damage tracking code to include the type of damage that was dealt (PHYSICAl vs HEAT vs COLD, etc)
Updated Character JS Method Damage() to include a new parameter that can specify the type of damage that was dealt to the character. The new parameter must always be included if other optional parameters are used. Note that updates might be required for scripts making use of this method.Updated syntax:
	.Damage( amount )
	.Damage( amount, damageType )
	.Damage( amount, damageType, attacker )
	.Damage( amount, damageType, attacker, doRepsys )
	Supported damageTypes:
		PHYSICAL 	= 1
		LIGHT 		= 2
		RAIN 		= 3
		COLD 		= 4
		HEAT 		= 5
		LIGHTNING 	= 6 // magic damage
		POISON 		= 7
		SNOW 		= 8
Updated JS Event OnDamage to include an additional parameter that describes the type of damage that was dealt. New syntax:
	onDamage( damaged, attacker, damageValue, damageType )
Updated JS Event OnSpellTarget to allow rejecting a spell being cast on a target by returning a value of 2 from the script
Split the character priv flag for magic reflection into a temporary one (one-time magic reflection spell) and a permanent one (innate permanent reflection ability). The temporary effect is put in place by Magic Reflection spell, and is removed after a successful spell reflect. The permanent one is an innate ability of a character and is not removed even after a spell is reflected.
Added new Character JS property to get/set state of a character's permanent magic reflect ability:
	.permanentMagicReflect 		// 0 = disable, 1 = enable
Added special abilities/effects for the following NPCs:
	Acid Elementals now have a chance to damage the melee weapons of their attackers
	Dull Copper Elementals now explode on death
	Shadow Iron Elemental is immune to targeted spell damage
	Copper Elementals have permanent magic reflect, and reflect some physical damage back at their attacker
	Bronze Elementals deal passive area damage to nearby players every 5 to 10 seconds
	Valorite Elementals have permanent magic reflect, reflect some physical damage back at their attacker
	Snow/Ice Elementals deal passive area damage to nearby players every 5 to 10 seconds
	Lava Serpents deal passive area damage to nearby players every 5 to 10 seconds
	Phoenixes deal passive area damage to nearby players every 5 to 10 seconds
	Pixies have a chance to cast a random spell upon receiving a death blow:
		Bless (target)
		Curse (target)
		Explosion (target)
		Greater Poison (target)
		Greater Heal (self, prevents death)
	Ethereal Warriors will now resurrect dead players with positive karma
	Ethereal Warriors now have a chance to drain target's health, stamina or mana on hit
	Fire Breath special ability added to the following NPCs, with the random ability damage scaling with the NPCs current health:
		Hell Cat, 5 to 8 dmg at max health
		Fire Steed, 6 to 9 dmg at max health
		Hell Hounds, 8 to 11 dmg at max health
		Lava Lizard, 8 to 11 dmg at max health
		Predator Hell Cat, 9 to 14 dmg at max health
		Sea Serpent, 11 to 17 dmg at max health
		Swamp Dragon, 15 to 22 dmg at max health
		Armored Swamp Dragon, 15 to 22 dmg at max health
		Fire Gargoyle, 20 to 30 dmg at max health
		Deep Sea Serpent, 21 to 32 dmg at max health
		Serpentine Dragon, 22 to 32 dmg at max health
		Drake (Gray), 22 to 32 dmg at max health
		Drake (Red), 22 to 32 dmg at max health
		Nightmare, 26 to 39 dmg at max health
		Dark Steed, 26 to 39 dmg at max health
		Silver Steed, 26 to 39 dmg at max health
		Kraken, 39 to 59 dmg at max health
		Dragon (Red), 41 to 62 dmg at max health
		Dragon (Gray), 41 to 62 dmg at max health
		Shadow Wyrm, 50 to 75 dmg at max health
		Reptalon, 51 to 77 dmg at max health
		Skeletal Dragon, 52 to 77 dmg at max health
		Ancient Wyrm, 60 to 90 dmg at max health
Update stats, skills and loot for all currently implemented NPCs
Removed an ancient piece of code that prevented corpses from being generated for various elementals and blade spirits on death. This was originally put in place because these creatures had no corpses, and would replace it with a backpack instead, but these creatures now all have corpses in all client versions supported by UOX3
Updated potions script (js/item/potion.js) with updated formula for amount of hitpoints healed by healing potions, and added restrictions for using them when at full health and/or if poisoned (Dragon Slayer)
Fixed a bug where creatures (and humans, if FORCENEWANIMATIONPACKET was disabled in uox.ini) would play animations with wrong frame count, causing the animations to either freeze for a few frames at the end, or get cut off a couple of frames early
Implemented bonus hit chance for Archery skill, based on mention of such a bonus in Publish 5 patch notes and related UO House of Commons chat. This has been exposed as a UOX.INI setting where this bonus can be tweaked:
	ARCHERYHITBONUS=10 	// Bonus hit chance for Archery skill added to regular hit chance in combat. Defaults to 10%
Implemented optional extra delay between moving and being able to shoot with ranged weapons in combat (in addition to whatever delay is there due to speed of the ranged weapon). This is exposed as a UOX.INI setting:
	ARCHERYSHOOTDELAY=0.5 // Minimum delay in seconds from a player stops moving until they can start to fire their ranged weapon. Defaults to 0.5s
Fixed a bug where players who never entered combat mode could fire ranged weapons while moving
Updated Add-menu with some improvements for usability:
	Menu now directly on the Objects (previously "Shard") tab for quicker access, with a small welcome text and quick-link button for UOX3 docs
	Settings tab contains some (persistent, will be saved with character) options for how the Add-menu behaves, along with a few quick-access buttons to some useful commands. Available options:
		Option to add chosen item at specific location instead of in GM's backpack
		Option to add chosen item repeatedly until cancelled
		Option to automatically reopen Add-menu on last menu that was open when a selection is made
		Option to force decayable state of all added items to either off (doesn't decay), on (decays) or nothing (use item default)
		Option to force movable state of all added items to either off (not movable), on (movable) or nothing (use item default)
	Added a Home button at the bottom of the menu, that takes the user back to the front page of the Add-menu regardless of which menu page they're on
Updated Character/Socket JS Method SysMessage() with an optional parameter to specify the color used to display the system message. Updated syntax:
	.SysMessage( "Text" ) 									// Display "Text" to user as a system message with default system message color from ini
	.SysMessage( "Text %s %s", txtArg1, txtArg2 ) 			// Display "Text" to player with string arguments injected into text
	.SysMessage( txtColor, "Text" ) 						// Display "Text" to user with a specified color
	.SysMessage( txtColor, "Text %s %s", txtArg1, txtArg2 ) // Combination of text color, text and string arguments
Fixed a bug where hair/beard items could show up inside corpses
Fixed a bug where items could sometimes vanish (visually) from containers when bouncing back because player was not able to pick them up
Fixed a bug where players would be unable to pick up a freely movable item from a locked down container
Updated handling of item bouncing on pickup to use UOX3 dictionary messages instead of hard-coded client messages
Added support for new Dictionary language:
	dictionary.POL - Polish (SERVERLANGUAGE=8 in uox.ini, or client language 83 if SERVERLANGUAGE is set to 0)
Added taming restrictions for Unicorn, Ki-Rin and Cu Sidhe (js/skill/taming.js)
Added modification of some creatures stats after they've been tamed (js/skill/taming.js)
Added restrictions for who can ride certain creatures (Unicorn, Ki-Rin, Cu Sidhe)
Updated words of power for Meteor Swarm spell to follow the same logic as other spells using Kal (Summon): Kal Des Flam Ylem
Added new Item/Character JS Methods to get/set temporary custom tags which don't persist across worldsaves (or across reconnects, for players):
	.GetTempTag( "tagName" )
	.SetTempTag( "tagName", tagValue )
When applying HPMAX, STAMINAMAX AND MANAMAX DFN tags to new NPCs, their current HP, STAMINA and MANA properties will now be automatically updated to match
Fixed a server crash caused by empty speech messages sent from certain clients
Fixed a bug that prevented teleport locations in Felucca/Trammel from working properly
Updated calculations in code for duration and damage of existing poison strengths (1 - Lesser, 2 - Normal, 3 - Greater, 4 - Deadly) to match with ~Publish 15 (LBR/pre-AoS), and added another poison strength for monster usage (5 - Lethal)
The strength of the Poison and Poison Field spells is now based on the average of the caster's Magery and Poisoning skills, the distance from the target (Poison spell only) and the target's Resisting Spells skill. If caster is further away than 2 tiles from target, the poison strength always equals Lesser Poison, otherwise the following rules apply:
	If caster's combined skill is higher than 100.0, poison strength equals Greater Poison, with 5% chance of Deadly Poison (if Poison spell) or Deadly Poison (if Poison Field spell)
	If caster's combined skill is higher than 70.2, poison strength equals Greater Poison
	If caster's combined skill is higher than 30.2, poison strength equals Normal Poison
	If caster's combined skill is 30.2 or lower, poison strength equals Lesser Poison
	If target resists spell, poison strength is reduced by 1 level, unless it's already at the lowest level
Fixed an issue that would would let players move faster than they should have been allowed to
Fixed misc issues with Party System:
	Mana and Stamina should now update for Party Members when added to the party, when going in/out of range and when their stats update while in range
	Players who get disconnected or relog should now find themselves back in the same party they were in previously
	Added system messages to inform party members about updates to their party, and to let invited players know they've successfully joined a party (or rejoined, if relogging)
World saves now operate on the principle of only saving changes done since the last world save. Combined with the fact that NPCs in UOX3 are only active if there are players in the same/neighbouring map regions, shard owners may expect to see a decrease in world save times ranging from ~11% to ~99%, depending on how active and how spread out their player base is. If no changes have taken place since last save, saves are virtually instantaneous!

e8d21cbc4d Misc small fixes
Fixed an issue with books where server could get stuck in an infinite loop if number of lines per page was higher than 8. Now capped at 8 lines per page.
	Renamed item type enum IT_READABLEBOOK to IT_BOOK, since it's the item type used by both readable and writeable books.
	Changed ANIMALATTACKCHANCE to use a scale of 1 to 1000 instead of 1 to 100, for additional granularity in setting the chance for animals to get attacked by monsters. An INI value of 15 now translates as 1.5% chance (per NPC AI cycle!) instead of the previous 15%
	Removed new GetEnvironment() function and expanded on the use of the existing OS_STR define in Config.h
	Updated fireworks wand (IT_FIREWORKSWAND) so effects no longer play permanently in ClassicUO client
	Fixed an issue with converting a house from public to private while there were player vendors in the house
	Ported player vendor deeds and placement of player vendors to JS (UOX3/js/server/house/playerVendorDeed.js) and added checks to make sure player is in a house they own, that can hold more player vendors, and that they are trying to add the vendor in a location that's not blocking any doors.
	Partially ported guildstone deed functionality to JS (UOX3/js/item/guildstone.js) and added various additional checks to make sure player is in a house they own, they're not already in a guild, no other guildstones exist in the house and they're not trying to place it in a location that blocks any doors. Main guild creation code is still hardcoded, though.
	Removed some unused item types that have been marked as candidates for deletion for over 15 years (IT_CHAOSGATEOPENER, IT_CHAOSGATE, IT_GUILLOTINEANIM, IT_TRAININGDUMMYANIM)!
	Updated UOX3 documentation with complete list of item types, and item layers, in addition to other small additions.
	Fixed an issue with advanced pathfinding where NPCs in some cases would stop 1 tile before reaching the target location
	Fixed an issue where no crafting resources would ever be lost if failing to craft an item that only required 1 of a given crafting resource
	Fixed an issue with pathfinding that could cause NPCs to queue up in long rows when attempting to reach the same target in combat when advanced pathfinding was disabled
	Added functionality to allow guild masters to move guildstones by transforming these into portable stones that can be used to place the guildstones in new locations
	Updated timestamp for packet logs to include milliseconds for greater granularity

166d3b0119 Numerous changes with focus on feature and stability parity across Windows, Linux and MacOS platforms
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)
