Removed arbitrary and hidden restrictions on refreshing list of online players shown with 'wholist command
Fixed an issue where player ghosts that get teleported would not see themselves get updated to new location

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:

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 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)

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

m_thief_guildmaster (dfndata/npc/male_human.dfn)
f_thief_guildmaster (dfndata/npc/female_Human.dfn)

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

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

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

Added function _restorecontext_() {} to a couple more scripts:
js/commands/targeting/set.js
js/commands/decorate.js
js/commands/go.js
Fixed an issue with 'xgo command that would prevent it from working properly (js/commands/targeting/x.js)
Fixed an issue with teleport function in help gump which prevented pets from teleporting with player (js/server/misc/helpgump.js)

Added new UOX.INI section with settings for Bulk Order System: (Xuri)
OFFERBODSFROMITEMSALES=1 // If enabled, shopkeepers might offer BODs when players sell items to them
OFFERBODSFROMCONTEXTMENU=0 // If enabled, shopkeepers might offer BODs via context menu option
BODSFROMCRAFTEDITEMSONLY=0 // If enabled, only selling of crafted items will trigger BOD offers
BODGOLDREWARDMULTIPLIER=1 // Reward multiplier for Gold given for completing a BODs - defaults to 1.0
BODFAMEREWARDMULTIPLIER=1 // Reward multiplier for Fame given for completing a BOD - defaults to 1.0
Updated smithing-related create DFNs (dfndata/create/*) with proper names for entries (Xuri)

Ancient Smithy Hammers +10/+15/+30/+60 - Boosts blacksmithy skill when equipped
(Not fully implemented, AoS feature) Gargoyle's Pickaxe
(Not fully implemented, AoS feature) Prospector's Tool
(Not fully implemented, AoS feature) Powder of Temperament
(Not fully implemented, AoS feature) Blacksmith Power Scrolls +5/+10/+15/+20
Updated onMakeItem() JS event to always include the create entry ID as a parameter, even when crafting an item failed (Xuri)
Updated Item DFNs with ORIGIN and SECTIONID tags for relevant items
Added JS Function to make comparing eras (based on object origin or server settings) easier:
EraStringToNum( eraString ) // Takes an era string (uo, t2a, uor, td, lbr, aos, etc) and returns an int
Updated some JS scripts to use EraStringToNum() for era comparisons (potionkeg.js)
Default CORESHARDERA setting is now LBR
Removed PUB15 as a separate "era" - it's identical to late stage LBR anyway:
Removed support for GETPUB15 tag
Added support for GETUO tag for items/NPCs:
GETUO=<sectionID> // Inherit DFN section if core shard era is Ultima Online (original release, before T2A)
Rewrote portions of MsgBoardQuestEscortCreate() function in msgboard.cpp to ensure only escort regions within same world as NPC can be selected as destinations
Increased maximum number of possible escort regions that can exist from 255 to 65535
Added region definitions for all shrines in Britannia (Fel & Trammel), and marked them as valid destinations for NPC escorts (uox3/regions/regions.dfn)
Moved bankers from vendor to human DFN files, and made them inherit basehuman instead of basevendor - since they are not vendors
To address an issue with escorted NPCs not timing out and vanishing if they are left in a "dormant" area of the world with no player activity, the NPCs are marked as "always awake" the moment they arrive at their destination. Note that the uox.ini setting ALLOWAWAKENPCS needs to be enabled for this to work.
Fixed an issue where spawnsection of spawners did not show up correctly in tweak menu
Fixed an issue where the generic Orc AI script didn't have a return true at end of onDamage() event, which prevented all orcs from taking damage in combat (js/npc/ai/monster/orc.js)
Moved Anatomy skill-check in healing script (js/skill/healing.js) from onCallback1() function to onTimer() to prevent the skill-check from being spammable
Added mount ID for Frost Mite in creatures.dfn, allowing it to be used as mount
Exposed the following character properties to JS engine, which can be used to view/adjust the permanent hair/beard options for a character:
.hairStyle

Updated 'kill hair, 'shavehair, 'shavebeard and 'remove commands to clear permanent hair/beard colour and style properties in addition to removing the item itself
Added a GM override to let GMs place as many houses as they want (js/server/house/houseDeed.js)
Fixed an issue where attempting to sell items to NPC shopkeepers could result in client crashing
Added a new JS Event:
onMultiLogout( iMulti, cPlayer ) // Handles players logging out while inside multis
Updated house script (js/server/house/house.js) with onMultiLogout event, which allows owners (always) and co-owners/friends/guests (if option enabled in uox.ini) to safely log out inside the house (without getting booted).
Added a "keyless" option for interacting with locked doors (js/item/doors.js) of player-owned houses, which lets owners/co-owners/friends/guests of a house use locked doors in the house without requiring a key in their backpack, if the options for that are enabled in UOX.INI. Enabled for owners/co-owners and friends by default (but not for guests)
Note that if option to safely log out is enabled, but keyless option is NOT enabled, then the server will check if the player has a key to the house in their backpack, and eject them from the house upon logging out if not. This is to make sure players don't get stuck inside a house they can't get out of because they lack the rights to open doors etc.
Added new UOX.INI options, under the [houses] section:
SAFECOOWNERLOGOUT=1 // Allow co-owners to safely and instantly log out inside house
SAFEFRIENDLOGOUT=1 // Allow friends to safely and instantly log out inside house
SAFEGUESTLOGOUT=1 // Allow guests to safely and instantly log out inside house
KEYLESSOWNERACCESS=1 // Allow owner of house to use locked doors in house without key in pack
KEYLESSCOOWNERACCESS=1 // Allow co-owners of house to use locked doors in house without key in pack
KEYLESSFRIENDACCESS=1 // Allow friends of house to use locked doors in house without key in pack
KEYLESSGUESTACCESS=0 // Allow guests of house to use locked doors in house without key in pack
Fixed NOHAIR tag from races.dfn not being loaded correctly

int UseResource( amount, realItemId )
int UseResource( amount, realItemId, colour )
int UseResource( amount, realItemId, colour, moreVal )
int UseResource( amount, realItemId, colour, moreVal, sectionId )
Fixed an issue where the bit flag for the HirelingCombatTraining setting was not set properly
Fixed an issue in SpiderMonkey VS project that prevented compiling a x64 debug build (thanks, punt!)
Some minor cleanup
When buying items from NPC shopkeepers where the total cost is higher than the buy threshold set in uox.ini, UOX3 will now check the player's bankbox for gold first, then their backpack second, instead of just failing outright if bank didn't have the required amount
Minor cleanup of some UO era-specific code for better maintainability
Adjusted default light-settings in UOX.INI:
DUNGEONLIGHTLEVEL changed from 3 to 15
WORLDDARKLEVEL changed from 5 to 12

Players can no longer use Polymorph spell while incognitoed, or while under effect of tribal paint
Players can no longer use Incognito spell while polymorphed, or while under the effects of tribal paint
Facial hair is now removed from players who are under the effects of Incognito spell that changes their gender for female
Fixed an issue where player backpacks did not have a max weight set, which could cause issues for scripts that relied on checking max weight of backpack to work
Added new UOX.INI settings to let shard admins control the maximum weight that player backpacks and bankboxes can hold:
MAXPLAYERPACKWEIGHT=40000 // 400.00 stones by default
MAXPLAYERBANKWEIGHT=160000 // 1600.00 stones by default
Fixed an issue where spells setup in JS did not correctly consume reagents when cast (thanks Azzerhoden Razeri!)
Fixed a bug where casting spells would sometimes leave the player in a "frozen" state client-side
Fixed a bug where RECALL=1 was missing from town of Vesper in regions.dfn
Fixed an issue where runebooks did not keep correct count of runes added/dropped (Azzerhoden Razeri, Dragon Slayer

Increased world load speed by almost 20% by reducing how often loading progress is written to the console
Increased world save speed by almost 50% through the use of binary mode and buffer tweaks for ofstream combined with a cached newline char and std::to_string instead of static_cast
Fixed a server crash involving killing NPCs of a specific spawn region using the 'spawnkill # command
Fixed a server crash involving moving items from decaying corpses to the ground
Fixed a server crash involving carving up human corpses
Fixed a server crash related to AreaCharacterFunction JS function, which could trigger for any script that potentially kills any NPC this function iterates over (like explosion potions)

Fixed a client crash issue caused by attempting to sell house deeds back to architect NPCs
Fixed an issue where players would get incorrect amounts of gold for selling house deeds back to architect NPCs
Fixed an issue with characters dying onboard boats which prevented players from packing up the boats later
Added new item property in code (via bools bitset) that can be used to enable/disable maker's mark on crafted items. This property can be set to true for items crafted at exceptional quality by GM craftsmen
Exposed the new item property to JS engine:
.isMarkedByMaker // If true, maker's mark will be displayed
Updated default item tooltip to display " of exceptional quality" for items crafted with exceptional quality
Updated default item tooltip to display "[Crafted] by [Crafter's Name]" for exceptional quality items crafted by GM craftsmen. The [Crafted] text comes from the MADEWORD defined in dfndata/skills/skills.dfn for the primary skill used to craft the item
Updated old-school single-click names for items (when AoS bit is disabled in client/server features) to display exceptional status and/or maker's mark for appropriate items
Fixed an issue with the display of titles for NPCs that used dictionary lookups for their title
Added new UOX.INI settings under the [settings] section:
DISPLAYMAKERSMARK=1/0 // Controls if maker's marks on crafted items are shown on a global level
SHOWNPCTITLESOVERHEAD=1/0 // Controls whether NPC titles are shown over their heads
SHOWINVULNERABLETAGOVERHEAD=0/1 // Controls whether invulnerable tags are shown overhead
GLOBALRESTOCKMULTIPLIER=1.0 // Global multiplier applied to RESTOCK property of items when loaded from DFNs
Added new UOX.INI settings under the [combat] section:

Fixed a bug with teleporting off boats to valid nearby locations when double-clicking boat planks while standing on it
Updated behaviour of planks on boats:
Boat key can unlock plank, but won't automatically open it
Boat key used on an open, unlocked plank will lock and automatically close the plank
Boat key used on an open, locked plank will unlock the plank and leave it open
Player using an unlocked plank now opens it
Player using an open plank will disembark (if onboard) or embark (if not) the boat
Player can always open a locked plank if they're on the boat, even with no key, to allow disembarking the boat.
Planks that are open, but locked cannot be accessed from outside the boat, and will close automatically after five of seconds
Updated behaviour of Magic Lock/Unlock spells:
Magic Lock cannot be used on objects inside a multi
Magic Lock applies difficulty to lock based on caster's Magery skill
Magic Lock effect will last between 7 to 50 seconds (depending on caster's Magery skill)
Any object that can be locked via Magic Lock spell can also be unlocked via Magic Unlock spell, if caster has high enough Magery skill
Fixed a bug where certain JS Functions, Methods and Properties would occasionally pass incorrect values to scripts that called upon them. Scripts that rely on the GetCurrentClock() Function, the .GetTimer() Method, .decayTime, .logTime, .oreTime and .fishTime Properties might need to be updated to account for the fix, which causes larger values to be passed in than before.
Fixed a bug related to GetCurrentClock() that caused decay and respawning of dungeon chests from working properly
Fixed a bug related to GetCurrentClock() and .logTime/.fishTime that prevented consumption and regeneration of log/fish resources from working properly
Added a new JS Function:
GetStartTime() // Returns a timestamp for when server started up

Fixed NPC Carpenters not selling carpentry tools
Fixed an issue with trashbarrel script (js/server/house/trashbarrel.js) that prevented it from working on stand-alone containers not in a house
Fixed a logic issue that resulted in some crafted items not having full item details show up in tooltips
Fixed an issue where reloading ini file would keep loading in the same starting locations over and over without ever clearing the list, making it grow in size with every reload
Added a new feature that allows shard admins/scripters to mark specific NPCs as "permanently awake", in order to keep UOX3 running scripts, timers and updates for these NPCs even if they are in regions that are "asleep" because of no nearby online players.
A new UOX.INI setting has been added which can turn this feature on/off:
ALLOWAWAKENPCS=0/1 // If disabled, NPCs marked as awake are treated as regular NPCs
New NPC DFN tag added to mark an NPC as awake or not:
AWAKE=0/1 // 0 = disabled (default), 1 = enabled
New Character JS Property added to toggle an NPC's awake state via JS:
.isAwake // 0 = disabled (default), 1 = enabled
'get and 'set commands updated with the new awake property:
'get awake
'set awake 0/1
IP of shard in shard list is now sent to client in little endian instead of big endian, which should correct the ping displayed in shard list, which previously showed a timeout (punt)

Minor cleanup and addition of a few extra features to help menu, like a safe teleport option for players who are potentially stuck, updated server info details and integration with UOX3's existing GM paging system as support options (Xuri)
Added new JS functions to retrieve server data used for server stats in help menu:
GetItemCount() // Gets number of items on server
GetMultiCount() // Gets number of multis on server
GetCharacterCount() // Gets number of characters on server
GetServerVersionString() // Gets server version as a string
Added new UOX.INI settings to control safe teleport for stuck players via the Help menu in Paperdoll:
MAXSAFETELEPORTSPERDAY=1 // Max teleports per day, defaults to 1
TELEPORTNEARESTSAFELOC=1 // Teleport player to nearest safe location (1) or random safe location (0)
Fixed an issue where karma titles would inadvertently have the space behind the title trimmed before being displayed in paperdoll, resulting in erroneous display of title + name there
Fixed an issue with a cooking script (js/skill/cooking/cooking.js) where sweet dough would not get consumed properly on cooking (Dragon Slayer)
Updated C++ function calcRegionFromXY to work with CBaseObject instead of CChar, so it also works for Items
Items now have current town region stored as an object property during runtime. This is calculated on load, when container property is updated, and when an item is picked up or dropped. The region is also accessible via the (read-only) JS Item property .region
Added new JS Event to allow capturing button presses from the old-school gump displayed by client via packet 0x76, which was originally used by the old-school crafting menus in T2A. The requirement for this to work is that the gump in question must have a gumpID between 0x4000 and 0xffff (which can be set when manually creating a packet with this ID via JS), and the Event itself must be in the global script:
onScrollingGumpPress( pSock, gumpID, buttonID )
Added new JS Event to allow better control over which names UOX3 sends to the client for characters:
onNameRequest( myObj, requestedBy ) // return custom string, or return empty string/nothing/true/false to use default name
Updated JS Events to also work for Items (previously only worked for Characters)
onLightChange( myObj, lightLevel )
onTempChange( myObj, temp )
onWeatherChange( myObj, weatherType )
Adjusted default temperature for town regions with no weather systems defined from 0 to 20 degrees Celsius
Updated some JS scripts (fishing.js, baking.js and cooking.js) to make use of GetTempTag/SetTempTag rather than GetTag/SetTag
Added cancel-checks to targeting functions in command script for add-commands (js/commands/targeting/add.js)
Updated get command script (js/commands/targeting/get.js) to allow retrieving region ID and name using 'get region
Updated misc command script (js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js) to add 'gettemptag and 'settemptag commands, used to retrieve/set temporary custom tags from/on objects
Fixed a bug where Spirit Speak skill would be checked for race languages even if the race had LANGUAGEMIN defined as 0 (or not defined at all)
Fixed an issue where players using regular UO client would get stuck in a black void after teleporting between worlds, by adding an additional character refresh after the teleport
Fixed an issue where crafting tools for Blacksmithing and Carpentry would attempt to fetch the value of an incorrectly named INI setting to handle durability loss for the tools
Added new setting under [settings] section of UOX.INI to control whether it should be possible to craft weapons from coloured ingots or not:
CRAFTCOLOUREDWEAPONS=0/1 // If enabled(1), players can craft coloured weapons. Defaults to disabled(0)
Fixed an issue where the correct ingots were not consumed when attempting to craft items using colored ingots
Fixed a rogue debug message leftover in the scissor script
Improved overall performance of NPC pathfinding (by nearly 60%!) by eliminating some double-work done when checking for blocking dynamics and statics
Optimized how the system for determining which internal map regions should have active NPCs; instead of there always being 9 active map regions surrounding any given player who's online, that number will now vary between 3 to 6 map regions, depending on how far the player is from boundaries between such map regions. This should reduce the amount of NPCs active and trying to pathfind at any given point when players are online.
UOX3 now adapts the time between each time it checks Spawn Regions based on how "full" the Spawn Regions are on average - the nearer they are to max capacity, the longer time between each time Spawn Regions are checked
Fixed an issue with reloading of spawn regions where UOX3 would forget about previously spawned NPCs/Items and respawn everything all over again. As part of the reload process, UOX3 now iterates over previously spawned objects and deletes these where appropriate
Added two new races to races.dfn - Ophidian (RACE 25) and Terathan (RACE 26) - which have been setup as racial enemies
Updated the race ID of relevant Ophidian and Terathan NPCs (dfndata/npc/arachnids.dfn and dfndata/npc/reptiles.dfn)
Added support for NPCs engaging other NPCs in combat if they are marked as racial enemies via races.dfn
Extended the amount of JS events supported by UOX3's JS engine from 96 to 192
Added new JS Event to allow overriding behaviour from Help button in paperdoll:
onHelpGump( pChar ) // Overrides default gump menu when pressing Help button in paperdoll
Added new JS Event to allow preventing characters from toggling on/off war/combat mode
onWarModeToggle( p Char ) // return false to prevent war mode toggle
Added new JS Event to allow overriding target selection in combat for default AI behaviours:
onAICombatTarget( pAttacker, pTarget ) // return true to select current target, or false to skip and look for another
Updated JS onDamage() JS event to allow returning false to override and prevent damage dealt to a character. Event must now return true to allow damage to go through
Updated JS Event onSwing to work for characters with no weapon equipped (iSwinging will be null, in this case)
Updated JS Object Method .KillTimers() to also work for Characters, not just Items
Added JS script that renders characters it's attached to immune to physical damage (js/npc/special/physical_immunity.js)
Renamed shadow_elemental.js to magical_immunity.js, as it's generic script that can be attached to any NPC
Added more pre-defined books to dfndata/misc/books.dfn (and dfndata/items/misc/books.dfn):
A Welcome (a_welcome) // Book by Blackthorn, dropped as loot by Betrayers
Added definitions for additional NPCs, with scripted special abilities where applicable:
Orc Brute (orcbrute) // Throws Orc Lords, cannot be targeted by provoked creatures
Orc Chopper (orcchopper) // Attacks deal AoE damage to nearby targets
Betrayer (betrayer) // Colossal Blow (stuns and peacemakes), AoE poison (2m range)
Golem Controller (m_golemcontroller/f_golemcontroller)
Golem (golem) // Colossal Blow (stuns and peacemakes)
Crafted Golem (craftedgolem) // Crafted version of golem
Exodus Overseer (exodusoverseer) // Magical Shield (immune to physical damage until shield down)

Exodus Minion (exodusminion) // Magical shield (immune to physical damage until shield down), periodic AoE burst
Added script that allows Tinkerers to craft golem followers via Clockwork Assembly items (js/item/clockwork_assembly.js)
Added script for mask of orcish kin, which when worn prevents all orcs from attacking the wearer (js/item/orcish_kin_mask.js)
Added AI script for Exodus clockwork NPCs, which amongst a few other things makes them spawn with a magical shield that prevents physical damage being dealt to them until the shield has been brought down by magic damage (js/npc/ai/monster/exodus_clockwork.js)
Added AI script for orc NPCs which prevent them from attacking characters wearing masks of orcish kin (js/npc/ai/monster/orc.js)
Added AI script for orc brute NPCs, which makes the NPCs toss orc lords (up to 10 in total) when attacked by magic spells (js/npc/ai/monster/orc_brute.js)
Added AI script for orc chopper NPCs, which makes the NPCs hit all nearby valid targets with their melee attacks (js/npc/ai/monster/orc_chopper.js)
Added script for NPC special ability Colossal Blow, which both stuns and adds a temporary peacemaking effect to targets (js/npc/special/colossal_blow.js)
Updated Provocation skill to disallow directing provoked creatures at targets with the custom tag provImmune present
Fixed an issue with initialization of wander areas for NPCs spawned via object spawners, which caused NPCs to not stick to their assigned areas, but wander according to their own free will. Can't have that!
Fixed some issues with itemlists pointing to non-existing items (a turnip and 10 of each magical reagent)
Fixed an issue where information on newly spawned characters would get sent twice to each nearby player
Changed default value of ACCOUNTFLUSH ini setting from 0.0 to 5.0 seconds

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 item definitions for weapons added in AoS to ToL UO expansions, but with stats balanced against existing weapons from Pub15 era
Added armor definitions for armors added in AoS to ToL UO expansions, but with stats balanced against existing armors from Pub15 era
Added named "alias entries" for all existing item definitions of weapon, armor and clothes, which enables adding those via their names as an alternative to their IDs. Items added via the named aliases will randomize between variations (north/south vs east/west) of the items if there are any. Syntax:
'add item [nameOfItemWithoutSpaces] (example: 'add item vikingsword)
Removed redundant files dfndata/items/gear/weapons/aos_weapons.dfn, dfndata/items/gear/weapons/se_weapons.dfn and dfndata/npc/spawntags.dfn
Split out ranged weapon projectiles into a separate DFN (dfndata/items/gear/weapons/projectiles.dfn)
Modified tooltip for armors to describe the physical defensive value as Armor Rating instead of Physical Resist
Updated console key input handling with a more robust approach for Linux (punt)
Included new and revamped JS docs, and removed old, out-of-date legacy JS docs
Fixed an issue in HandleGumpInput that prevented compiling UOX3 properly on Linux
Added new uox.ini setting that determines if item stats on unidentified magic items are shown or hidden:
HIDESTATSFORUNKNOWNMAGICITEMS=0/1 // Defaults to 1
Some minor updates to crafting related scripts
Added new Item DFN tags:
usesleft=# // The current amount of uses remaining for an item with limited use
maxuses=# // The maximum amount of uses for an item with limted use
Added new JS Item properties to match DFN tags:
.usesLeft
.maxUses
Updated scripts to make use of .usesLeft property instead of custom "UsesLeft" tag
Updated DFNs to include usesleft and maxuses tags and uses_left_tooltip script for all tools with limited use
Crafting and gathering tools bought from NPC vendors will now support a random and limited amount of uses (between what is defined as "current" and "max" uses)
Crafting and gathering tools created by player crafters will support a limited amount of uses based on the quality of the item crafted
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
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
Added new system that lets shard admins assign a "network" budget to connected clients, which determines the maximum amount of bytes clients are allowed to send to/receive from server over a period of ten seconds. If a client exceeds these limits three times in the same connected session, they'll receive a temporary ban and get kicked from the server. The following new UOX.INI settings under the [system] section can be used to control this feature:
MAXCLIENTBYTESIN=25000 // Max bytes client can send to server over 10 seconds
MAXCLIENTBYTESOUT=100000 // Max bytes client can receive from server over 10 seconds
NETTRAFFICTIMEBAN=30 // Duration (in minutes) of temporary ban for exceeding these limits
Fixed an issue that prevented GMs from using CSTATS and TWEAK buttons in 'wholist
Updated documentation with most recent changes to UOX.INI settings
Minor code cleanup
