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 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:
PETCOMBATTRAINING=1/0 // Controls whether pets can gain skills/stats from combat
HIRELINGCOMBATTRAINING=1/0 // Controls whether hirelings can gain skills/stats from combat
NPCCOMBATTRAINING=0/1 // Controls whether NPCs in general can gain skills/stats from combat
Fixed an issue where a player meeting the exact minimum requirements for crafting an item would always fail
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 a bug related to GetCurrentClock() where server uptime stats in help menu was showing up incorrectly
Fixed a bug related to GetCurrentClock() and purging of registrations of visitors in public houses so their visits can be counted again later
Fixed a bug related to GetCurrentClock() that caused monster speech to not work properly
Fixed a Z-related issue that sometimes prevented players from fishing when standing on the shoreline next to the sea
Fixed an issue with Animal Lore skill that would always return a pet's loyalty level as "Wild"
Increased max range pets can be from their owner in order to still be included in moongate/teleporter travel from 12 to 24 tiles
Fixed an issue where the alchemy bonus damage for explosion potions was off by an order of magnitude
Fixed an issue where food IDs from foodlists referenced by other foodlists was not detected as valid food for tamed pets or NPCs
Fixed an issue where Alchemy crafting skill did not properly check for the existence of the crafting tool before proceeding with the crafting process
Fixed an issue that prevented the Teleport spell from working as intended
Fixed an issue where players would still get 1 gold even if STARTGOLD in uox.ini was set to 0
Fixed an issue with mount restrictions script that prevented players from mounting Unicorns, Ki-rins and Cu Sidhes
Fixed an issue where aggressive creatures wouldn't stop attacking player after being tamed (js/skill/taming.js)
Added a system message to inform the player when they've dropped out of stealth due to taking too many steps
Fixed an issue where hunger level of NPCs instantly dropped upon spawning because hunger timer was not active yet
Fixed a bug where character corpses would appear with a [unidentified] tag attached
Fixed an issue where the [unidentified] tag did not show up for unidentified magic items
Added ANIMAL tag to a small bunch of creature definitions (dfndata/creatures/creatures.dfn)
Fixed an issue with Bowcraft skill where player could not gain enough skill from crafting bows to reach min requirement for crossbows, and similiarly could not reach min requirement for heavy crossbows from crossbows
Updated default value of MURDERDECAYTIMER INI setting from 60 seconds to 28800 seconds (8 hours), to match the amount of time it would take for one (short term) murder count to decay on LBR-era OSI shards.
NOte, many method calls are passing copies of collections. Did not change, as that could change functionality (unlikely), but this is a syntax only exerersize.
Just changing value (copes) to reference (and provide a const/nonconst method) would see a noticeable speed difference.
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 Lord (exodusminionlord) // 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
Misc minor cleanup of console messages during startup and shutdown
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
Updated entry for Wisp in creatures.dfn to mark them as animals to stop monsters from attacking them (and dying)
Removed some debug messages from pixie_death.js
Fixed some lines of text in new 'add menu that would display incorrectly in regular UO client
Disabled tooltips for admin welcome gump; too much for regular UO client to handle
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

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!
Added support for new Skills DFN tag:
SKILLDELAY=# // Delay in seconds before another skill can be used after using this skill. Overrides global delay from UOX.INI
Updated skill cSkills::SkillUse() to use skill-specific skill delays if set for a given skill, or global delay from ini if not. Also added a check to see if skill delay timer has been modified by onSkill JS event before attempting to set a default timer
Updated skill delays to better match ~pub15 era:
Reduced global SKILLDELAY setting in UOX.INI from 2 to 1 second
Detecting Hidden skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds
Herding skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds
Hiding skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds, with shorter delays (global skill delay) for trying to hide while in combat or for successfully hiding
Meditation skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds, with shorter delays (global skill delay) for failing due to hands being occupied or already being at max mana
Peacemaking skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds for failed skill checks, and 5 seconds delay for successful ones
Poisoning skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds
Provocation skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds
Remove Trap skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds
Stealing skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds
Stealth skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds
Tracking skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds
Veterinary skill now has a default skill delay of 10 seconds
Fixed an issue with global JS Timer object that would reference the wrong timerIDs
Extended global JS timer object to include timers from socket as well (marked with SOCK_ prefix):
.SOCK_SKILLDELAY // Delay before the next time player can use another skill
.SOCK_OBJDELAY // Delay before next time player can use another object
.SOCK_SPIRITSPEAK // Timer that tracks remaining duration of player's Spirit Speak
.SOCK_TRACKING // Timer that tracks remaining duration for player's Tracking skill
.SOCK_FISHING // Timer that tracks remaining duration for player's Fishing skill
.SOCK_MUTETIME // Timer that tracks remaining duration a player remains muted
.SOCK_TRACKINGDISPLAY // Timer that tracks interval between each time tracking display is updated
Updated various JS scripts to use the new Timer.TIMERNAME with .GetTimer()/.SetTimer() JS Methods for Characters and Sockets
Updated Persecution ability for player ghosts to use the skill delay of the Spirit Speak skill, if set
Updated Persecution ability to base mana damage primarily on player's Spirit Speak skill rather than their Intelligence
In order to cut down on the amount of messages sent from server to players trying to spam-use objects/skills, UOX3 now only sends a maximum of one message for object use delay and one message for skill use delay while the delay timers for these are in effect. This resets on the next successful use of an object or skill. This is tracked via bools in cSocket class:
bool objDelayMsgShown
bool skillDelayMsgShown
Converted DELAY tag in spells.dfn to use seconds (with decimals) instead of tenths of a second, which was not precise enough. This controls the cast time of spells. What would previously say DELAY=10 (10/10ths of a second) now says DELAY=1.0 (1 second)
Added support for new Spells DFN tag to control delay until damage takes place after casting a spell, replacing UOX.INI setting COMBATEXPLODEDELAY, which is no longer used:
DAMAGEDELAY=# // Delay in seconds (decimal) until a direct damage spell deals its damage
Added support for a new Spells DFN tag to control cast recovery time, during which additional spells cannot be cast:
RECOVERYDELAY=# // Delay in seconds (decimal) until player can cast another spell
Added new setting in UOX.INI to control whether player spellcasting gets interrupted upon equipping/picking up items:
ITEMSINTERRUPTCASTING=1 // If enabled, spellcasting gets interrupted by equipping/picking up items. Defaults to enabled.
All direct damage spells by default have a 1.0s delay before damage (and VFX) is applied, except Explosion which has a 2.5s delay
All spells by default have a cast recovery duration of 1.0s; from the moment a spellcast is completed/moment targeting cursor appears, the player will be unable to cast any other spell for the duration of the cast recovery
Reagent checks and skill-check now take place AFTER the spellcast animation, not before!
Spell cast times now follow this formula, though values set per spell and can be modified: 0.25 + ( spellCircle * 0.25 )
Overhauled spell sound FX and VFX for for all spells
Players can no longer cast spells while holding items on the cursor
Fixed Magic Trap, Magic Untrap, Magic Lock and Magic Unlock not being usable on containers in one's own backpack
Fixed an issue that caused Magic Trap to deal between 50 to 100 damage to the player. New damage: 5 to 10, depending on Magery skill
Fixed an issue where Magic Untrap spell would completely remove traps from spawn containers instead of disable them
Fixed an issue where Telekinesis spell would not set off traps on containers properly
Added additional FX for Teleport spell played at player's original location before the teleport took place
Fixed a bug where creatures summoned with the Summon Creature spell were not dispellable
Fixed an issue where the Reveal spell would not reveal players hidden using the Hiding skill
Dispel and Mass Dispel spells are no longer guaranteed to succeed at dispelling summoned creatures. Instead, the chance to dispel is based on the following simple formula, with dispelChance capped at 95% to always leave some chance for a creature to resist a dispel:
dispelChance = ( 50 - ( targetResistSkill - casterMagerySkill )) / 1.5
The targetResistSkill is based on the highest value of the summoned creature's spell resistance skill and the spell resistance skill of its summoner
Fixed an issue where the Create Food spell attempted to create an invalid item
Fixed issue where code that checked for valid drop locations for items didn't allow negative z values (Dragon Slayer)
Fixed issue where players could drop items on blocking map tiles like water or mountains (Dragon Slayer)
Fixed issue where some JS functions like CheckStaticFlag, CheckDynamicFlag, DoesStaticBlock, DoesDynamicBlock and DoesMapBlock would not work correctly when passed negative Z values
Fixed issue where context menu were listing skills to train from NPCs based on effective skill rather than base skill
Fixed issue where NPCs would offer skills for training even if those skills were not above the minimum 60 skillpoints
Updated clilocID used for Gump JS Method AddToolTip - as well as for some item/character tooltip data - from 1050045 to 1042971 for improved client compatibility
Human/Elf/Gargoyle NPCs with spellcasting capabilities will now play a casting animation and briefly stop moving when they cast spells
Updated NPC spellcasting code to help NPCs make a bit better choices of what spells to cast during combat. Now they take their own health percentage into account, and cast more offensive spells when at near full health vs more defensive spells as their health drops
Fixed an issue where Hirelings wouldn't always immediately start following their new owners
Fixed a bug where the Earthquake spell could incorrectly add NPC characters marked for deletion to the refresh queue
Updated skills and stats of all implemented human NPCs (including vendors) to better match the state of those NPCs around the time of Pub15
Fixed SPATTACK values for a couple of NPCs that were still using values based on spell bitmask instead of spell circle value
Updated stats of Jukan and Meer NPCs (dfndata/npc/lbrraces.dfn) to match stats from official LBR guide
Added support for an optional third parameter for Character/Socket JS Method .CustomTarget() to allow highlighting targeting cursors as neutral (0, default aura), harmful (1, red aura), helpful (2, blue aura). A value of 3 will cancel the currently active targeting cursor. New syntax:
myChar/mySock.CustomTarget( targetID, txtToSay, cursorType ) // supported cursorTypes: 0 = neutral, 1 = harmful, 2 = helpful, 3 = cancel current target cursor
Various target cursors triggered by code (like hard-coded spells, some pet commands) also make use of these cursorTypes
Added JS command to reload dictionaries
'reloaddictionaries
Fixed a server crash related to casting of spells
Fixed some issues with Line-of-Sight checks related to items under/above ground, LoS checks between different floors of buildings, etc.
Updated handling of skill-training keywords to be based on language-independent keyword IDs rather than trying to match player-input text to specific skill-names
Updated animal-trainer/stablemasterscript (js/npc/ai/stablemaster.js) with several changes:
Fixed an issue where the same pet would be stabled in all available slots if payment was taken from player's bank account instead of their backpack
Fixed an issue where stablemaster would not pause walking for a while when a player interacts with them
Converted all system messages and text messages in stablemaster script to dictionary entries
Added new NPC AI type to source - AI_STABLEMASTER (9) - and assigned this to animal trainers. This is used to identify this type of NPCs for the purpose of displaying relevant context menus
Reworked banker AI script (js/npc/ai/banker.js) to use triggerwords from client instead of hard-defined strings, to work better with multiple languages (and work with all relevant triggerwords)
Fixed a bug with banker AI script (js/npc/ai/banker.js) that prevented players from using the "withdraw" command
Re-added NPC AI 8 to banker NPCs (dfndata/npc/male_vendors.dfn and female_vendors.dfn) so code can check for presence of this AI when handling context menus
Removed remaining hard-coded banking functionality - all handled by script anyway
Added new context menu option for NPC bankers - Open Bankbox
Updated code handling of context menus to only show context menus when relevant:
Open Paperdoll - Shows for all characters with a paperdoll
Open Backpack - Shows for player's character, pack animals and hirelings
Open Bankbox - Shows for banker NPCs (if within 8 tiles)
Buy/Sell - Shows for vendor NPCs (if within 8 tiles, and if they have anything for sale/are buying anything)

Added new AI script for NPC hirelings (3204=js/npc/ai/hireling.js), who can be hired to follow the player around for a limited amount of time, and function the same way as pets. In addition to the regular pet commands, these speech commands are supported:
hire // The hireling will respond with the cost to hire them
dismiss // Replaces the "release" command for pets; will dismiss the hireling
patrol // The hireling will patrol between it's current location and a second targeted location nearby
move // The hireling will try to shuffle out of the way
fetch // The hireling will try to fetch a targeted item
drop // The hireling will drop to the ground all loot they're currently carrying
report // The hireling will report on the remaining time they're hired for
Added new NPC DFN tag used by code to detect hireling NPCs for the purpose of displaying context menus:
HIRELING // No additional value/data needed for tag

Added new UOX.INI settings to control how many pets players can have active:
MAXCONTROLSLOTS=0 // Maximum number of pet control slots available to player. Disabled if 0
MAXFOLLOWERS=5 // Maximum pets/followers a player can have active at the same time. Used if control slots are disabled
MAXPETOWNERS=5 // Maximum number of different owners a pet can have over its lifetime before it becomes impossible to retame
Added new NPC property and NPC DFN tag that keeps track of how many pet control slots an NPC would take up if owned by a player:

PETLOYALTYRATE=900 // Amount of seconds between each time pet loyalty is automatically reduced by 1. Takes 25 hours to deplete completely from max
Added new persistent NPC property that keeps track of the difficulty of taming and controlling a pet, and exposed it as a Character JS property:
.orneriness
Every time a tamed pet is released or goes wild, its "orneriness" increases, making it more difficult for other players to tame, and more difficult for anyone to control.
Updated CBasePetResponse::canControlPet() function to use pet control difficulty system if enabled, which checks player's animal taming/animal lore skill vs a pet's "orneriness" to determine chance of pet accepting a given pet command
On successful use of pet command, increases pet loyalty by value defined in PETLOYALTYGAINONSUCCESS ini setting

Added new Character JS Method to make it easier to make one NPC initiate combat with another:
.InitiateCombat( targetChar ) // Character attempts to initiate combat with target character
Updated parrying portion of combat code to be in line with Pub15/pre-AoS parrying mechanics. High AR shields now absorb more damage on a successful parry, while low AR shields have a higher chance of parrying. Shields are also now more effective against archery attacks (full absorption potential) than melee attacks (half absorption potential).
Updated combat damage calculations to be in line with Pub15/pre-AoS damage calculations
Adjusted default value of COMBATNPCDAMAGERATE ini setting (damage divisor when target is a player) from 2 to 1 to account for these changes.

Added new function in combat.cpp - AdjustArmorClassDamage() - which adjusts the damage dealt in combat based on whether armour class (AC DFN tag or .ac JS property) of weapon and armour equipped on hit location of target match up. A weapon with armour class 1 would essentially be doubly effective against armour of armour class 1. Allows setting up things like piercing weapons being better against some armor types than mace weapons, etc.
Added new UOX.INI setting under [combat] to enable/disable double damage from armour class bonuses:
ARMORCLASSDAMAGEBONUS=0/1 //defaults to 0)
Fixed an issue with ItemID skill where using the skill on a crafted item would not output a result if creator of item was unknown
Command logs now also include any parameters used with a command

Added [[maybe_unused]] attributes in places where return values are intentionally unused
Added [[fallthrough]] attributes in places where switch case fallthroughs are intentional
Misc minor code cleanup

CreateEntry // A specific create entry retrieved from global object. Example:
var createEntry = CreateEntries[7] // Fetches item entry #7 from create DFNs
New CreateEntry JS Properties

name // name of item entry from create DFNs
addItem // section header of item to craft from item DFNs
colour // colour of crafted item

maxRank // maximum rank value used by rank system to provide variable stats to crafted items
delay // delay in milliseconds for crafting to finish
spell // spell ID primarily used when inscribing magic scrolls
resources // list of resources needed to craft item.
resources[n][0] // amount of resource needed
resources[n][1] // resource colour required
resources[n][2] // list of IDs accepted as resource material
skills // list of skills requirements to craft item
skills[n][0] // skillNumber of skill required to craft item
skills[n][1] // minimum skill at which player will always fail to craft item
skills[n][2] // maximum skill at which player will always succeed to craft item
avgMinSkill // average minimum skill required to smelt item
avgMaxSkill // average maximum skill required to smelt item
Fixed a bug with tracking menu that could cause UOX3 to crash when cancelling/closing the menu
Removed all traces of SETSCPTRIG and TWEAK commands from source. These commands are now entirely handled in JS.
Stats and Tweak buttons in list of online characters ('WHOLIST) will now execute the CSTATS or TWEAK command respectively, with target automatically set to character being viewed in list
Fixed an issue with TWEAK command where items equipped on a character's paperdoll could not be targeted
Added TryParseJSVal() helper function in cScript.cpp, used to parse jsval values returned from script events. Provides results matching 0 (0, false), 1 (1, true) or any specific int value returned from script.
JS events updated to use new TryParseJSVal helper function (no change in behaviour):
onDecay, onResurrect, onCommand, onBuyFromVendor, onSellToVendor, onPickup, onCharDoubleClick, onSkillGump, onUseBandageMacro, onCombatStart, onCombatEnd, onDeathBlow, onBuy, onSell
JS events with slight change of behaviour after update to use TryParseJSVal:
onDrop, onDropItemOnItem, onDropItemOnNpc - previously, a blank or non-existent return value would be treated the same as a return true. This will now be treated as a return false. Update scripts accordingly!
JS events updated to support return values from scripts:
onCollide, onTalk, onSnooped, OnHungerChange
Return false or nothing to prevent hard code from running
Return true to allow hard code to run like normal
onStolenFrom, onAISliver, onLightChange, onVirtueGumpPress, onQuestGump, onSpecialMove, onSwing, onClick, onHouseCommand, onSellToVendor, onSkillCheck, onSpellGain, onSpellLoss
Return false to allow hard code and other scripts with event to run like normal
Return true to prevent hard code and other scripts with event from running
onSteal
Return false or nothing to allow hard code and other scripts with event to run like normal
Return true to prevent hard code and onStolenFrom event from running (theft failed?)
Return 2 to prevent hard code, but allow onStolenFrom event to run (theft succeeded, but handled in script?)
onLeaving, onEntrance, onEquip, onUnequip, onEnterEvadeState, onSoldToVendor, onBoughtFromVendor, onSpellSuccess, onSpellTarget, onFlagChange, onDeath
Return false or nothing to allow other scripts with event to run like normal
Return true to prevent other scripts with event from running
Added new JS events that run prior to items being equipped/unequipped, with support for return values:
onEquipAttempt( pEquipper, iEquipping )
onUnequipAttempt( pEquipper, iUnequipping )
Return false or nothing to reject attempt to equip/unequip item, and prevent hard-code or other scripts with event from running
Return true to allow hard code to run like normal
Added new JS event that runs prior to onSnooped event, for character doing the snooping:
onSnoopAttempt( snooped, snooper )
Return false or nothing to prevent hard code and other snooping-related events from running
Return true to allow hard code and other snooping-related events to run like normal
Updated onSnooped JS event to accept return values:
Return true when success state is true to prevent other scripts with event from running
Return true when success state is false to prevent hard code and other scripts with event from running
Updated onClick JS event to also run for characters with event attached (return 1 to prevent showing hard-coded name for whatever object is clicked)
Updated onSteal JS event to include a third parameter, an object reference for the target of the theft
Added support for assigning multiple JS scripts per object (item, multi, char, region).
Any time a scriptID is added to an object, the list of such IDs for that object will be sorted from lowest to highest scriptID, which also determines the execution order for the scripts. Note that if the same JS event is present in several scripts assigned to an object, each of those events will trigger, unless the rules about return values for said event prevent this
DFNs for Items, Multis, Characters and Regions can now contain multiple SCRIPT=scriptID tags per definition. Each such SCRIPT tag will be applied to the object in question, then sorted from lowest to highest scriptID by server.
Added new JS property for Items, Multis, Characters and Regions:
.scriptTriggers // If used to get property, will return array object with all script IDs assigned to object. If used to set property, will add script ID to existing list of script IDs for object.
Modified JS property for Items, Multis, Characters and Regions, which for backwards compatibility functions similar to in older versions:
.scripttrigger // If used to get property, will return last script ID in list of script IDs assigned to object. If used to set property, will clear list of script IDs and assign only the new ID
Added new JS Methods for Items, Multis, Characters and Regions:
.AddScriptTrigger( scriptID ) // Adds a new scriptID to list of scripts assigned to object
.RemoveScriptTrigger( scriptID ) // Remove a specific scriptID from object (0 = remove all)
Moved SETSCPTRIG command from code to JS (js/commands/targeting/scptrig.js), and supplemented it with some additional commands:
GETSCPTRIG // List out all scriptIDs assigned to object
SETSCPTRIG scriptID // Clears list of scriptIDs for object, then assigns the specified scriptID
ADDSCPTRIG scriptID // Adds specified scriptID to list of scriptsIDs assigned to object
REMOVESCPTRIG scriptID // Removes specified scriptID from list of scriptIDs assigned to object (0 = remove all)
Replaced CDataList with the new GenericList class throughout UOX3, and removed CDataList from the project files
Reverted an earlier change where scriptsections were supposed to be reapplied to items bought from NPC shopkeepers - didn't actually work!
Reorganized teleport.scp file with logical groupings by map and area for easier maintenance
All teleport locations in teleport.scp without a source/target world specified will now work for both Felucca and Trammel facets
Deleted ustring.cpp/ustring.h from repository and removed last few straggling references to these Teleport locations from teleport.scp are now sorted upon initial load, and no longer require being sorted in the file itself (punt)
Modified handling of CONT and PACKITEM tags loaded from worldfiles to no longer corrupt pointers (punt)
