- [ADD] Added new JS Event that runs once for all scripts after shard has fully started up:
- onScriptLoad()
- [ADD] Added new JS Event that runs for all instances of scripts attached to objects after shard has fully started up:
- onStart( myObj ) // myObj can be a Character, Item or TownRegion
- [ADD] Added new JS Function to find nearest item with a specific section ID at a given location:
- FindItemBySection( x, y, z, world, sectionId, [instanceId] )
- [ADD] Added new Event Manager system that initializes on shard startup, which listens to event registrations from other scripts and schedules these events to be run once, a number of times with an interval, or recurring on specific day(s)/time of the week. See UOX3 documentation for full details. System can be enabled or disabled via a new setting in uox.ini:
- EVENTMANAGERSYSTEM=0/1 // Defaults to enabled
- [ADD] Added a global JS constant to detect in scripts whether UOX3 runs in debug mode:
- UOX_DEBUG_MODE // Ex: if( UOX_DEBUG_MODE )
- [FIX] Fixed an incorrectly named socket variable in js/item/potion.js
- [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
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 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

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 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)

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
Got rid of the Overflow() function, which no longer serves a purpose after timers have been upgraded from uint32_t to uint64_t
Unified usage of TIMERVAL (UI64) and TVAL (also UI64) across code base; now only TIMERVAL is used
Updated BuildTimeValue() function parameter from R32 to R64
Updated casting of values passed into BuildTimeValue() across source base
Updated JS Timers and Temp Effects to support starting, saving and loading very long term effect timers; no more 49 days upper limit
Ninja fix for new items added to a container appearing underneath other items in the container instead of over
Fixed an issue where onUseUnchecked JS event in envoked scripts (via object ID or type) would never trigger because hard-coded checks would run before envoking script
Added function _restorecontext_() {} to archerybutte.js script (Thanks, DS)
Added new Boat JS Methods to allow turning boats via scripts, and fetching reference to tillerman:
.GetTiller() // returns item reference to boat's tillerman
Added a fourth parameter to onTurnBoat() JS Event - an item reference to the tillerman.
Updated UOX3 documentation with details on various settings and features
