Fixed an issue with an internal movement check that prevented characters from moving in valid map areas in Felucca/Trammel from X 6144 to X 7168
Fixed an issue where .instanceID property was misspelled in 'xgo GM command script, causing characters to be teleported to an out of bounds area where they would no longer be saved (js/commands/targeting/x.js)
Added some additional error-checking to .Teleport()/.SetLocation() JS Method to prevent script-accidents from sending characters out of bounds.
Updated Poisoning skill to add poison-charges to weapons being poisoned. Charges are consumed when applying poison in combat (js/skill/poisoning.js)

Added 25% chance for hit-animations and hit-SFX to play for targets in combat, instead of playing every time - can get very spammy
Monsters with actual weapons equipped (like Ophidian Enforcer with Halberd/Bardiche) will now get appropriate combat SFX for hitting with that weapon
Updated Healing skill to base cure/resurrection skill requirements on the calculated skill, rather than base skill (js/skill/healing.js)
Fixed an issue where healing with bandages and dying in the process would not properly reset the healing-related tags and skills used
Updated healing script to show a resurrection confirmation menu for players targeted with bandages for resurrect (js/skill/healing.js)

'regspawn all // perform a single respawn cycle across all spawn regions
'regspawn max // respawn ALL spawn regions to MAX capacity in one go
Added new UOX.INI setting that determines the maximum range at which NPCs can initiate attacks on players/NPCs (the old MAXRANGE=10 setting now instead defines max range at which players can initiate attacks on players/NPCs):
MAXNPCAGGRORANGE=10
Optimized performance by significantly reducing the number of line-of-sight checks performed by characters, especially in combat scenarios, or when evaluating potential targets for NPC AIs. The amount of checks done is also affected by the new ini setting for max aggro range.
Fixed an issue where both NPC and player characters would instantly drop one hunger level (from 6 to 5) upon creation since hungerrate was not initialized until after first hunger-event
Updated character priv property from UI16 to UI32, and added a new flag that determines if fame/karma title is hidden for character:
HIDEFAMEKARMATITLE (0x10000)

Fixed an issue where players could get discounts from shopkeepers even though neither player nor shopkeeper were members of a NPC guild (js/npc/ai/shopkeeper.js)
Fixed an issue where the "premium" a player would get when selling items to a shopkeeper in the same NPC guild as them would be 110% extra on top of the item's value, instead of the intended 10% (js/npc/ai/shopkeeper.js) (Thanks, cobrag0318!)
Added missing tall straw hat to tailoring crafting scripts (Thanks, Dragon Slayer!)
Improved error reporting during compilation of individual scripts being reloaded - will now show more context and line number
onCombatEnd JS Event now also triggers when NPCs ignore their target and/or evade during combat
Updated 'decorate command to support saving/loading custom tags on items for world templates. These are stored after a @ symbol in the world template, each custom tag separated by a | symbol, and with each custom tag saved using this syntax: key$type$value
Updated resource-harvesting scripts to use script-specific global (const) variables, to avoid interference between different scripts (js/server/resource/*)
Added new resource-harvesting scripts and added spawn regions for these in fields on farms all over Britannia/Lost Lands
cabbages (js/server/resource/cabbages.js)
canteloupes (js/server/resource/canteloupes.js)

pumpkins (js/server/resource/pumpkins.js)
squashes (js/server/resource/squashes.js)
turnips (js/server/resource/turnips.js)
watermelons (js/server/resource/watermelon.js)
Updated CSpawnRegion::FindItemSpotToSpawn() function in cSpawnRegion.cpp to prevent duplicate spawning of exact same item in exact same location
Updated sectionid of all potion and scroll aliases to match main item, so they'll get correctly picked up by NPC shopkeepers (dfndata/items/magic/potions.dfn and scrolls.dfn)
Specified sectionid for backpacks, so it also gets applied to packs added using the alias [backpack] (dfndata/items/misc/provisions.dfn)
Fixed a code issue that prevented players from selling empty containers to NPC shopkeepers willing to buy such containers
Fixed an issue where field-spells (wall of stone, poison field, etc) would ignore dynamic/static items that should block these
Fixed an issue where field-spells could be cast into houses from the outside by standing next to a wall and targeting self
Fixed a War/Peace-mode desync between client and server by having server always notify client (using war-toggle packet) when the "at war" flag is toggled for player character
Fixed an issue with hiding skill that wouldn't allow player to hide after having acquired self as target in combat (through spellcasting, for instance) (Thanks, Dragon Slayer!)
Fixed an issue where mana/reagents were consumed and skillcheck performed before all spellcast-validations had succeeded, resulting in the occasional loss of reagents/mana when spellcasting was disallowed (code and js/magic/clumsy.js and level1targ.js)
Fixed an issue with lack of criminal-flagging for casting of hostile spells scripted in JS (clumsy, magic arrow, feeblemind) vs blue targets (js/magic/clumsy.js and level1targ.js)
Fixed some issues with Line-of-Sight checking code that returned incorrect results, which amongst other things affected spellcasting in areas with uneven terrain
Fixed some issues with movement code and climbing of ladders, in particular the rope ladder in the 2-story log cabin. Code now sets a "is climbing" flag when character steps onto a rope ladder, and uses that to help resolve some edge cases, and then unsets it when they step off.
Renamed section headers of some map-items in DFNs from "locationname" to "locationnamemap" for clarity (example: "britain" to "britainmap")
Fixed broken "map wrapping" when sailing to edges of map in Felucca or Trammel
Fixed a server crash related to attempts at reading data from invalid map tiles
Updated target-based 'wipe command to also affect valid NPCs (non-invulnerable, non-pets) (js/commands/wipe.js)
NPC admin gump (js/commands/wholist.js) will now force-refresh on next open after NPCs have been removed via the remove button in the menu
Spawn Object admin gump (js/commands/spawnadmin.js) will now force-refresh on next open after spawn objects have been removed via the remove button in the menu
Added three new GM commands (js/commands/targeting/xwalk.js) that can be used to control NPCs remotely:
'xwalk // Makes targeted NPC pathfind and walk to target location
'xrun // Makes targeted NPC pathfind and run to target location
'xturn // Makes targeted NPC turn towards target location
Updated AdvancedPathfinding() in movement.cpp to include two optional parameters
allowPartial // if true, move even if calculated path is blocked, until blocked (defaults to false)
ignoreDoors // if true, ignore doors during pathfinding calculations and calculate the path is if the door was not there (defaults to false)
Updated .WalkTo() and .RunTo() JS Character Methods to support the two additional pathfinding parameters, and also to support maxSteps values beyond 255
Updated pathfinding heuristic from Manhattan (4-way) to Octile (8-way) distance for improved pathfinding accuracy and increased performance with diagonal movement
In some situations, UOX3 will now calculate a new partial path for NPCs who failed to follow their assigned path, to get them closer to their final destination
Optimized pathfinding logic for NPCs following a target (like pets/hirelings, or NPCs in combat), to reduce the amount of pathfinding calculations required when target is moving. The NPCs will now keep track of the general direction towards their target, and if the NPCs are already heading in the right direction, they'll keep going as long as they have a path left to follow or until direction towards target has changed. This also eliminates a problem where NPCs would stick to their path until they reach the end, even if target has gone in a different direction.
Updated logic for how NPCs turn during pathfinding. Instead of adding an extra "push" for direction into the calculated path itself to ensure NPC will both turn and move in that direction, which allowed some inaccuracies to creep into the calculated paths, that extra push is now handled while NPC is executing the path instead, whenever direction changes are needed
Partial pathfinding is now enabled for fleeing NPCs by default, to increase their chances of getting further away from their opponent in combat
Partial pathfinding is now enabled for NPCs in water by default, to allow them to get as close as possible to their opponent in combat
Fixed an issue where NPC movement speeds would misbehave at certain speeds where the calculated movement time would get rounded down to zero
NPCs will now play a fidgeting animation if they've remained motionless for 3 seconds or more while not in a state of actively trying to move/pathfind
Increased max pathfinding steps for NPCs in combat from 50 to 75
Fixed an issue where NPCs would stop and wait when they should have been moving, after successful pathfinding calculation
Fixed an issue where NPCs that ignore a target and enter evade state would not leave combat
Added two new JS Character properties that can be used to evaluate pathfinding success (for instance in combination with onPathFindEnd Event), and/or opens for manipulating pathfinding target locations via scripts:
.pathTargX // Current NPC pathfinding target, X coordinate
.pathTargY // Current NPC pathfinding target, Y coordinate
Added dummy context restore function to additional scripts
Updated 'go command to support specifying location to teleport to by name, mapped to locations from locations.dfn (Thanks Dragon Slayer!)
Updated Smart Turn script for furniture (js/server/misc/furniture_smartturn.js) with more optimized code (Humility)

Added support for overriding newbie-state of items added to players via dfndata/newbie/newbie.dfn. Supported syntax:
PACKITEM=sectionID[, amount[, newbieFlag]] // To use newbieFlag with PACKITEM, amount must also be specified. Flag can be 0/1
EQUIPITEM=sectionID[, itemHue[, newbieFlag] // To use newbieFlag with EQUIPITEM, itemHue must also be specified. Flag can be 0/1
Casting the Earthquake spell will no longer affect the caster, or cause them to become criminal when cast out of town with no impacted targets
Fixed a bug where caster would remain frozen after finishing casting targetless spells like Earthquake
Fixed a bug where caster would remain frozen if spellcast was cancelled half-ways through by picking up or equipping an item
Fixed a bug where caster would remain frozen if spellcast was interrupted by losing concentration from taking melee damage in combat

Address overflow issue in MultiMul.cpp (punt)
Address various cast issues (punt)
Corrected jscript project, to not include two files that where for stand alone programs (and resulted in main being added twice in the library (and once was incorrect all ready). (punt)
Replaced RoundNumber with std::round (punt)
The original physical appearance of characters targeted by 'make admin/gm/cns is now kept track of, and restored upon being targeted by 'make player
Fixed an issue where the .HasSpell JS Method was off by 1 when looking for specific spells in player's spellbook, due to 0-based array indexing in code vs 1-based indexing for Spells in DFNs
This changes all routine calls that wanted a specific type of stream ifstream/ofstream to the generic istream/ostream. So you can use stringstream, or other derived types.
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
Fixed a server crash from clients disconnecting while running server in debug mode
Improved how container updates are sent to players; now only sends to clients that have actually opened the container, and who are still within range
Added more information about UO data files being loaded during server startup
Enhanced the GM 'add menu to allow clicking directly on images of items/npcs to add them, and adjusted size of menus to accommodate this
Fixed an issue with fleeing NPCs that could cause them to attempt to flee across time and space, regardless of distance to target/attacker in combat
Added NPC AI that runs away from players if they get too close (even outside combat). Applied to hind, rabbits, squirrels, ferrets and various birds by default:
AI_ANIMAL_SCARED (aitype 12)
Fixed issues with NPCs fleeing forever, or getting stuck in flee/don't flee loop, by introducing max fleeing distance (50 tiles) and cooldown (30 sec) on fleeing
Updated onNameRequest JS Event to include third parameter with origin of name request, so script responses can be tailored appropriately:
onNameRequest( myObj, requestedBy, requestSource )
Potential values for requestSource:
0 - Speech/System Messages
1 - Guild Menus

Added Adaptive Performance System (APS) that dynamically adjust how often NPC AI/movement is checked based on overall shard performance. If performance drops below defined threshold, UOX3 gradually slows down checks for NPC AI/movement to prioritize player movement/speech/command responsiveness. If performance climbs back up above threshold, slowdowns are gradually removed. The following UOX.INI options have been added under [system] category to support this system:
APSPERFTHRESHOLD=50 // Performance threshold (measured in simulation cycles/sec) below which the APS kicks in
APSINTERVAL=100 // How often (in milliseconds) the APS checks performance and makes adjustments (if needed) to balance out shard performance
APSDELAYSTEP=50 // How much the delay timer is modified by (in milliseconds) each time APS makes adjustments
APSDELAYMAXCAP=2000 // Max amount of of delay APS can introduce for NPC AI/movement handling when attempting to restore shard performance
Added new JS Methods for Region objects:
.GetOrePrefs( oreType ) // Get ore preference data for ore type found in town region. Returned as an array containing the following data:
orePrefData -> [
oreName, // name of ore
color, // color of ore
minskill, // min skill to mine ore
ingotName, // name of ingot created from ore
makemenu, // makemenu entry for crafting something from ingot
oreChance, // default global chance of finding this ore type
scriptID // script attached to mined ore
],
orePrefChance // Chance of finding this ore type in given town region
.GetOreChance() // Get base chance of finding any ore in town region
Moved Mining skill plus gravedigging feature from hard code to scripts (js/skill/mining.js) to make it easier to maintain and/or customize, and removed hard coded variants
Gravedigging now relies on the ore resource system behind the scenes to restrict how often graves in a given area can be dug up
Fixed some incorrect references to .worldNumber Character property in misc scripts (should be .worldnumber)
Made some "hard-scripted" system messages in misc scripts use dictionary system instead

onPickup( iPickedUp, pChar, iCont )
Added tracking of total playtime per individual character, and per account across all characters, and exposed these properties to JS engine:
.totalPlayTime // Account property, total playtime across all chars
.playTime // Character property, total playtime on given character only
Added new player-accessible command ('playtime) to spit out the playtime of current character/account as a whole (js/commands/playtime.js)
Implemented first version of Young Player System:
Replaced the UNUSED9 account flag with YOUNG, to be used by Young/New Player System
Added new JS Account property that gets/sets whether player account is considered Young:

Young characters cannot target other player characters with hostile spells or skills
Young characters cannot be the target of other player characters' hostile spells or skills
Young characters can only cast beneficial spells upon themselves or other Young characters
Young characters can only be the target of beneficial spells from other Young players
Young players (and their pets/followers) cannot attack or harm any other players (or their pets/followers), nor themselves be attacked or harmed by any other players (or their pets/followers), whether from combat, spells, skills or items
Young players don't lose any of their items on death, and are teleported to the nearest healer upon death with all their items intact
Young players receive a warning upon entering dungeons that monsters there will be hostile
Updated global script (js/server/global.js) to:
Check/Verify Young status of players upon login
Attach young player script on login/creation for players on Young accounts
Give specific items to Young players upon creation
Added new script (js/item/corpse.js) that is assigned to all freshly created corpses. This script handles restrictions related to Young players interactions with corpses, and the interactions of other players with corpses of Young players
Updated JS Method .Carve() to return true/false depending on whether carving a corpse was successful
Updated Healer AI in code to heal nearby injured Young players
Updated Evil AI and Evil Caster AI in code to avoid selecting Young players as targets in combat outside of dungeons
Added a new section to UOX.INI - [young player starting locations] - that can be used to define starting locations for Young players. If only one such location is provided, all players start there. 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

Added two new NPCs, which there will now spawn one of in a random location in each city in Britannia (felucca facet):
m_thief_guildmaster (dfndata/npc/male_human.dfn)
f_thief_guildmaster (dfndata/npc/female_Human.dfn)
Added two new character properties to keep track of which NPC guild a player (or NPC) belongs to. These properties have been exposed as the following Character JS properties:
.npcGuild // ID of NPC guild, as defined in script
.npcGuildJoined // Timestamp for when player joined NPC guild
Added script for Disguise Kits (js/item/disguisekit.js). These allow members of the Thieves Guild to disguise themselves from the prying eyes of other players.
Added two new character properties:
.isDisguised // true/false flag for character being disguised
.origName // used to store character's original name before disguise went into effect
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
Stolen items cannot be removed from thief's backpack for 30 seconds following the theft of the item (AoS core shard era and above)
Optional AoS feature to steal special consumable items from monsters
Updated default stealing rules:
Updated calculations to determine chance of success when stealing
Players cannot steal while engaged in combat
Players are revealed if hidden as soon as they use the stealing skill
Players can no longer steal items in the secure trade window

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
Players will now be unable to hide if within visual distance and in line of sight of their attacker or current target in combat
Server leave-announcement now only happens after the logout timer has expired, instead of the exact moment the player presses the logout button
Fixed an issue that could cause swimming NPCs to swim on land
NPCs now have the ability to temporarily ignore unreachable targets in combat. If attacked by someone they are ignoring, they will enter evade state and try to move away from that someone.
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
Mark spell now stores a 4th property on recall runes - instanceID. This is stored in the rune's .more0 property.
Recall and Gate spells now check the recall rune (or runebook)'s 4th location property - instanceID - to determine where the player ends up
Fixed a server crash related to equipment being automatically unequipped if character is no longer strong enough to have it equipped
Added new JS Function to check if any characters at specified location potentially block movement:
DoesCharacterBlock( x, y, z, worldNum, instanceID ) // returns true if a character exists at given coordinate (within z +/- 4)
Fixed an issue that prevented onBuyFromVendor() and onBoughtFromVendor() JS Events from triggering when attached to NPC shopkeepers
Fixed an issue with help gump that prevented password management section from working as intended (js/server/misc/helpgump.js)
Fixed an issue where UOX3 would fail to load pre-HS multi.mul files
Added chess board to Misc->Games add menu (dfndata/items/ItemMenu.bulk.dfn)

When a player is teleported via the GM 'wholist menu, any pets within range are now also brought along for the ride
Consolidated error-reporting for JS Functions, Object Methods and Object Properties to provide more context (scriptID, filename, line number) when something goes wrong
Added some missing shield IDs (0xA649, 0xA64A, 0xA831, 0xA832) to IsShieldType() function
MAXRANGE item property previously only worked for ranged weapons; now it works for melee weapons too, and potentially allows melee weapons with combat range longer than 1 tile
MAXRANGE item property can now be used to define max combat range for melee weapons
Fixed an issue (non-critical) with .PlaceInPack() JS Method that would cause UOX3 to try adding items marked for deletion to refreshQueue and spam console with errors
Added missing AI scripts to summoned Blade Spirits and Energy Vortexes (dfndata/npc/magicsummon.dfn)
Fixed an issue with weight calculation for hireling backpacks (js/npc/ai/hireling.js)
Fixed an issue with the 'fix command, which would in most cases set character's Z to -1 regardless of location, but now adheres to map elevation instead
Fixed an issue with Pack AI (js/npc/ai/pack_ai.js) that prevented pack members from attacking target correctly (thanks Dragon Slayer)
Fixed an issue with DoesMapBlock JS Function that incorrectly checked for 6 function arguments, when it actually requires 8
Fixed an issue with DoesDynamicBlock JS Function that incorrectly checked for 8 function arguments, when it actually requires 9
Fixed an issue with runebook script (js/item/runebook.js) that prevented players from being able to use recall charges without having spellbook with spell in inventory
Fixed issues with placement of tall items on ground/floor, and with stacking of items in houses
Fixed incorrect alias for woodland armor (dfndata/items/gear/armor/other/armor/wood.dfn - thanks Dragon Slayer)
Fixed a critical issue with script context sometimes changing while executing a script, because of events in other scripts being triggered. Affected scripts can be safeguarded against this by the addition of a dummy callback function anywhere in the script: function _restorecontext_() {}
Fixed an issue with non-animal pets not gaining loyalty when being fed (thanks Dragon Slayer)
Added new JS Object Methods for Chars/Items/Multis to fetch list of custom tags associated with object:
.GetTagMap() // Gets list of persistent custom tags associated with object
.GetTempTagMap() // Gets list of temporary custom tags associated with object
Added new JS commands ('GETTAGMAP and 'GETTEMPTAGMAP) that spits out details of custom tags associated with targeted object (js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js)
Added new JS command ('USEITEM) that acts as a short-cut for double-clicking on targeted item (js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js)
Updated 'ADD # and 'ADD ITEM # JS commands to support targeting a container directly and adding the new item inside (js/commands/targeting/add.js)
Updated axe script to only perform lumberjacking skill-check when there's still wood available in a given area, and to play appropriate animations for Gargoyle players (js/item/axe.js)
Updated script for gameboards to make generated pieces newbiefied so they won't appear on ground if board decays (js/item/gameboards.js)
Updated script for stablemasters to avoid relying on global variables (js/npc/ai/stablemaster.js)
Updated names of items crafted with runic hammers to include the material name of the hammers used to craft them (js/skill/craft/crafting_complete.js)
Fixed a small issue with Detect Hidden skill that would return the wrong message if players found anyone hiding nearby (js/skill/detecthidden.js)
Fixed an issue that prevented tile overrides in dfndata/maps/tiles.dfn from loading properly
Added entries for a couple of walls with missing no-shoot flags to tile overrides in dfndata/maps/tiles.dfn
Updated JS Method .SoundEffect() to support optional third argument (creatureSoundNum) to play creature-defined sounds from dfndata/creatures/creatures.dfn. New syntax:
.SoundEffect( soundID, allHear[, creatureSoundNum] ) // 0=SOUND_STARTATTACK, 1=SOUND_IDLE, 2=SOUND_ATTACK, 3=SOUND_DEFEND, 4=SOUND_DIE
Added new Character JS Methods:
.SetRandomName( nameListID ) // apply a random name from specified namelist to character
.FindItemSection( sectionID ) // find item in player's backpack with specified sectionID
Added new Socket JS Method:
.OpenContainer() // Opens specified container for socket
Fixed an issue where casting Wall of Stone inside a multi would lead to the wall of stone never expiring, because it was not correctly marked as a field spell
Reduced combat message spam; attacking messages now only appear when attacking targets who are not already fighting the attacker
Added a new character state - "passive combat mode" - primarily used by players when they tab out of combat. Tabbing out of combat will prevent the character from retaliating in combat if they're already fighting someone
Fixed several issues with dropping items through floors, tables and generally not being placed correctly when dropped inside multis
Hard-defined the Z-level at which some jewellers in Britain spawn to deny them rooftop access (spawn_felucca_town_britain.dfn and spawn_trammel_town_britain.dfn)
Added system messages informing shard staff with elevated command privileges why they are getting 100% skill check success, and no spellcast delay
Fixed an issue where houses could lose track of locked down items on server restart
Fixed an issue where items could be accidentally dropped through the floor of houses/boats
Base multis created with CreateBaseMulti() JS function or BuildBaseMulti() C++ function no longer require valid 'house/boat' locations to spawn
Fixed an issue where no reagents were consumed when casting recall/gate spells via spell icons in runebooks (js/item/runebook.js)
Spawn Regions will now more accurately spawn objects near desired heights supplied via PREFZ tags. Using PREFZ=20 will attempt to spawn NPCs on the second floor of a building with ground level at Z 0, for instance.
Added a new DFN tag usable in Spawn Regions to define a definite Z level at which to attempt to spawn objects (skips some steps in the process and assumes the defined Z is a valid Z):
DEFZ=# // Defines a definite Z level to attempt to spawn an object at
Updated banker AI script (js/npc/ai/banker.js) with some extra validation checks, system messages and to take max weight capacity of bankbox into account
Misc cleanup and standardization of style and naming conventions in code and scripts
Added missing code for showing race in paperdoll based on ini setting
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 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
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

Hell Cat, 5 to 8 dmg at max health
Fire Steed, 6 to 9 dmg at max health

Kraken, 39 to 59 dmg at max health
Dragon (Red), 41 to 62 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 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 context menu entries for pets, which can be used if player is within 12 tiles of pet:
Command: Kill
Command: Stop
Command: Follow
Command: Stay
Command: Guard
Add Friend
Remove Friend
Transfer
Release
Added new context menu entries for stablemasters/animal trainers:
Claim All Pets
Stable Pet
Added new context menu entries for Escort Quest NPCs
Ask Destination (if within 3 tiles)
Accept Escort (if within 3 tiles)
Abandon Escort
Added new context menus for NPCs that can teach skills to players (limited to max 10 per NPC)
Train [skillName]
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

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 JS Function DeleteFile(), which would stop calling script from working if no file was found for deletion. Could break demolishing of houses, amongst other things
Fixed an issue with DoSEErrorMessage() function that prevented JS function error messages from being displayed in UOX3 console if message size was below 512
Fixed a bug that allowed players to place items on the same slot of walls when using a client that doesn't automatically restrict this
When dropping items, UOX3 will now look for a valid surface to drop them on, and move the item to said valid surface if applicable
Fixed an issue with loading of MultiCollections.uop where max boundaries of each multi was not set on load, preventing features that relied on finding corners of building from working (like automatic ban location detection for houses)
Added new function in mapstuff.cpp to check flags on dynamic items, and exposed it as a JS Function with same name and parameters:
CheckDynamicFlag( SI16 x, SI16 y, SI08 oldz, UI08 worldNumber, UI16 instanceID, TileFlags toCheck );
Fixed an issue where items were not always properly added to/removed from map regions when picked up or dropped
Added new helper function in dist.cpp to find 3D distance between two points:
getDist3D( point a, point b )
Added JS Function - DistanceBetween() - to find distance between two sets of coordinates, or two objects:
DistanceBetween( x1, y1, x2, y2 )
DistanceBetween( x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2 )
DistanceBetween( sourceObject, targObject )
DistanceBetween( sourceObject, targObject, checkZ )
Added Item JS Method - GetTileName() - to get name of an item directly from tiledata
Added new UOX.INI setting that defines the lower limit for when a purchase will withdraw money from bank instead of backpack:
BANKBUYTHRESHOLD=2000
Split the UOX.INI setting CONSOLELOG into three parts, to enable/disable different forms of logging:
CONSOLELOG=1/0 // Toggles logging of console messages, warnings and errors
NETWORKLOG=1/0 // Toggles logging of network traffic
SPEECHLOG=1/0 // Toggles logging of player/staff speech
Fixed an issue with CChar::RemoveAllObjectsFromSight(), which failed to remove nearby multis from sight, leading to ghost images when changing worlds/instances
Added check for other multis when sailing - boats will now collide with other boats!
Added check for dynamic items when sailing - boats will now collide with blocking objects
Added "wrapping" support for maps 0 and 1 when sailing, meaning a ship can sail around the world in both N/S and E/W directions.
Added new [magic] section in uox.ini with the following settings:
TRAVELSPELLSFROMBOATKEYS=1 // Toggle being able to travel via Recall and Gate spells directly to a boat via its key
TRAVELSPELLSWHILEOVERWEIGHT=0 // Toggle being able to travel via Recall and Gate spells when overweight
MARKRUNESINMULTIS=1 // Toggle being able to mark runes while inside multis. If enabled, runes marked inside multis will be associated with the multi in question, rather than a specific set of coordinates. If multi no longer exists, travelling to it via Recall or Gate will be impossible
TRAVELSPELLSBETWEENWORLD=0 // Toggle being able to travel via Recall and Gate spells from one facet to another
TRAVELSPELLSWHILEAGGRESSOR=0 // Toggle being able to travel via Recall and Gate spells when marked as an aggressor (if attacked an innocent first, or if criminal)
Fixed an exception that would only rear its head when running UOX3 in debug mode, by adding new function void CBaseObject::RemoveFromRefreshQueue(), which when called from the end of the Cleanup() process for an object will ensure it's removed from the refreshQueue (thanks giwo!)
Fixed several issues with the regional spawning system:
NPCs would quite often get created, only to be deleted shortly after because the system failed to find a valid spawn location. This part of the system has now been rewritten to look for a valid spawn location before actually spawning the NPC, to avoid unnecessary creation/deletion of characters
Spawn system would not continue looking for a valid spawn location past the first failure (when it was supposed to make 100 attempts before giving up)
Spawn system would not look for valid water tiles for ocean-based/amphibian creatures if valid land tiles could not be found. As a result, amphibian creatures that could have spawned on either land or water would only ever spawn on land.
DoesMapBlock() function checked for TF_BLOCKING tile flag before it checked if waterwalking was allowed and if tile had TF_WET flag. As a result, no purely ocean-based creatures would spawn at all because no valid spawn locations could ever be found
Added support for MultiCollections.uop. If present in the specified datafolder, this file will be preferred over the traditional multi.mul/idx files, and will enable access to the new multis contained within (punt)
Added dependency for static library of zlib-1.2.11, of which a minimal version is included in a subfolder alongside spidermonkey in the root UOX3 project folder. This is needed for compression matters related to UOP files and certain UO network packets
Added VS Solution (zlib.sln) to compile static-library of zlib-1.2.11 for Windows. Makefile for Linux/macOS also included.
Updated CMakeList.txt to include zlib references
Updated default DATADIRECTORY path in uox.ini to match current day default installation path of UO (thanks, dragonslayer!)
Fixed return value logic for onUseChecked/onUsedUnchecked JS events - was reversed by mistake!
Initiated start of revamped mul/uop handling, with some new files added to project: (punt)
MultiMul.cpp/hpp, IDXMul.cpp/hpp and UOPData.cpp/hpp
Updated code for loading and seeking in multis (punt)
Added new files to VS project and project filter
Added new files to source/CMakeLists.txt
Updated version number in uox3.rc
