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 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
2 - Stat Window (self)
3 - Stat Window (other)
4 - Tooltip
5 - Paperdoll Journal
6 - Paperdoll
7 - Single Click / All-Names
8 - System
9 - Secure Trade Window
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)

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

Added error checking to .WalkTo() and .RunTo() JS Methods that cancels pathfinding attempt if maxSteps provided is zero
Swapped around order of arguments in ScriptError() function in cScript.cpp, so the const char used by va_start() is now the last named argument (thanks ldilley!)
Fixed a socket error with 'move command alias in js/commands/targeting/tele.js (thanks Dragon Slayer!)
Added initial pass for supporting Trammel PvP ruleset, which can be applied to and/or customized per facet and optionally overridden per region via js/server/misc/facetRulset.js (Dragon Slayer)

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

Updated EQUIPITEM tag in newbie.dfn (dfndata/newbie/newbie.dfn) to support an optional hue parameter (EQUIPITEM=id,hue)
Updated starting equipment for new characters (dfndata/newbie/newbie.dfn), with commented out practice weapons. Uncomment to use
Added item definitions for practice weapons (dfndata/items/gear/weapons/practice_weapons.dfn):
practice_skinning_knife
practice_hatchet
practice_axe
practice_mace
practice_longsword
practice_spear
practice_bow
practice_club
practice_crook
practice_gnarled_staff
Updated mount statues DFN (dfndata/items/misc/mount-statues.dfn) and JS (js/npc/pets/*.js) files to include pet control slot related stuff
Pets now inherit the karma of their owners, but revert to their original karma upon release
Pets and hirelings will no longer follow the ghosts of their dead owners, but stay to guard their corpse
Added optional 9th parameter for JS Function CreateDFNItem to specify a color for item created. This comes before the other optional parameters - worldNumber and instanceID (which are only used if character is NULL):
CreateDFNItem( mSock, mChar, sectionName, inPack, iAmount, itemType, iColor, worldNumber, instanceID )
Added ID of Giant Beetle to various pack animal checks
Pack animals will now drop any newbie/blessed items stored in their packs upon death
Added new NPC properties to track pet loyalty, and exposed these as Character JS properties, and NPC DFN tags:
JS Properties
.maxLoyalty // Defaults to 100
.loyalty // Starts at 25
DFN Tags
MAXLOYALTY=# // Defaults to 100
LOYALTY=# // Starts at 25
Updated TriggerEvent JS function to support return values (int, bool, string, object) from called script
Updated various JS scripts to make use of new TriggerEvent functionality and reduce reliance on custom tags:
js/item/archerybutte.js
js/item/trainingdummy.js
js/server/data/combatanims.js
js/server/data/weapontypes.js
Updated archerybutte script to use dictionary for system and text messages
Updated archerybutte script to support increased range, distance penalty and dex/str bonuses when calculating score
Added new UOX.INI settings under [pets and hirelings] section related to pet control and loyalty:
CHECKPETCONTROLDIFFICULTY=1 // Enable/Disable pet control difficulty system
PETLOYALTYGAINONSUCCESS=1 // Amount of pet loyalty gained on successful pet command use
PETLOYALTYLOSSONFAILURE=3 // Amount of pet loyalty lost on failed pet command use
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
On failed use of pet command, decreases pet loyalty by value defined in PETLOYALTYLOSSONFAILURE ini setting
Added new Character JS Method to calculate chance of a player successfully controlling the pet:
.CalculateControlChance( mChar ) // Returns value between 0 and 1000 indicating chance of success
Feeding a pet will now restore its loyalty to maximum
Pets will now lose loyalty on hunger checks when at maximum hunger
Pets that are maximum hungry will now only have a chance to go wild if loyalty has dropped to zero
Added new DFN tag for creatures.dfn - TYPE - which contains a string describing the type of creature
Added secure pet trading. Players who trade pets will now see a pet transfer deed appear in a secure trade window with the name and type of creature, and upon completion of the trade the associated pet will be instantly transferred to the other player
Updated resource JS scripts (js/server/resource/*) to use dictionaries for all system messages
Updated skill JS scripts (js/skill/*) to use dictionaries for all system messages
Updated housing JS scripts (js/server/house/*) to use dictionaries for all system messages
Updated item JS scripts (js/item/*) to use dictionaries for all system messages
Updated magic JS scripts (js/magic/*) to use dictionaries for all system messages
Updated NPC AI JS scripts (js/npc/ai/*) to use dictionaries for all system messages
Updated command JS scripts (js/commands/*) to use dictionaries for all system messages, gump tooltips, etc
Updated code to use dictionaries for all system messages
Fixed incorrect spelling for UOX.INI setting HIDEW(H)ILEMOUNTED and updated hiding skill (js/skill/hiding.js) to actually allow/disallow hiding while mounted based on this 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.
Removed dictionary.UNK, and made dictionary.ZRO the default dictionary used for all unsupported languages
Added dictionary support for additional languages: Portuguese, Italian, Czech
Updated default dictionaries for the following languages: English, French
Added default dictionaries for the following languages: German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Czech (note that translations have been provided by automatic services and will contain inaccuracies!)
Added new UOX.INI setting to allow specifying a default dictionary language for server, which if set will force that language for all dictionary messages, regardless of client settings:
SERVERLANGUAGE=0 // Set default server dictionary language. Supported languages: 0 - None/language used by each client, 1 - English, 2 - German, 3 - Spanish, 5 - French, 6 - Portuguese, 7 - Italian, 8 - Czech
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
Fixed an issue where messages used with CustomTarget JS function would not get truncated properly if longer than the allowed maximum length
Fixed some instances of potential buffer overrun and/or out-of-bounds memory access
Fixed some potential null pointer dereferences
Fixed a couple instances of missing breaks in switch cases
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
Fixed an issue that could cause player characters created in older versions of UOX3 to end up with backpacks without max item capacity set, thus being unable to add any items to their backpack
More warnings cleanup, and some fixes to address size_t differences between Windows and Unix platforms (punt)
Co-Authored-By: Charles Kerr <punt1959@users.noreply.github.com>
Added new option in UOX.INI under [settings] section:
MAPDIFFSENABLED=0/1 // If enabled, server will attempt to load diff files, and send "Enable Map-diff files" packet to client to also load these. Disabled by default.
Server no longer loads map/statics diff files by default, nor does it send packet to client to request loading these files, as only client versions below 7.0.8.2 will actively load these files. Can be re-enabled with new UOX.INI setting mentioned above!
Fixed incorrect ID for gargish dagger in CHandleCombat::getWeaponType()
Added missing weapon entries in CHandleCombat::getWeaponType(): bladed whip, barbed whip, spiked whip, gargish talwar
Fixed an issue that would show the end part of some tiledata names as garbled text instead of cutting off the text(!) at 20 characters
Fixed an issue with advanced character creation template when using ClassicUO client, which sends a profession value of 255 instead of 0 when no profession template has been selected.
Fixed an issue where clones of NPCs that can split in combat didn't get the NPC flag correctly set
Guild titles are now removed for players who leave their guilds
Enabled closing some hard-coded gump menus using right-click (howto, guild, towns, wholist, addmenu, craftmenu, info)
Fixed an issue where adding base items using 'add [itemID] would sometimes get false positive hits from harditems.dfn, depending on the length of the itemID
Fixed an issue where items added using 'add [itemID] would not get names applied properly from harditems.dfn
Item/NPC DFN tag GET can now inherit a random parent by adding additional values separated by spaces. Syntax:
GET=parent1 parent2 parent3 (etc)
Fixed an issue where NPC backpacks would not have the max item capacity set properly
Added new properties for CItem objects (also exposed as JS Item Properties):
maxRange // max distance a ranged weapon can fire at (replaces ARCHERRANGE ini setting)
baseRange // base distance throwing weapons (when implemented) can be used at
Added support for new Item DFN tag that replaces global UOX.INI setting ARCHERRANGE:
MAXRANGE=# // Specifies max range of ranged weapon
Added support for new Item/NPC DFN tags to support randomizing elemental resistances:
RESISTFIRE=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
RESISTCOLD=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
RESISTLIGHTNING=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
RESISTPOISON=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
Added support for two new DFN tags in dfndata/race/races.dfn that can be used to allow/ban lists of equipment for specific races
ALLOWEQUIPLIST=#
BANEQUIPLIST=#
Added support for new section in dfndata/race/races.dfn - [EQUIPLIST #], which can be used to define lists of equipment that is whitelisted or banned for specific races.
Fixed a bug that would report incorrect weight in tooltips for Item/NPC spawner objects
ScriptSections are now reapplied for items bought by players from NPC vendors
Fixed an issue where players could drop an item on the ground and other players would still see the item after it was picked up, because of a failed distance check vs old location coordinates (in pack) instead of vs current location on ground
Fixed a bug with players being able to use last-target macro to target objects picked up and held by other players on their cursor
Updated all references to "devinelock" to be "divinelock" instead - this includes the name of the JS Item property
Fixed house commands triggering (useless) targeting cursors for players onboard boats
Changed default statcap in UOX.INI from 325 to 225
Fixed a out-of-range error for players attempting to combine ore inside their own backpack
Fixed various issues with distance checks and container checks when using/target objects
Added optional 4th "hue" parameter to AddGump JS method
Added JS Function to get total amount of accounts on server - GetAccountCount()
Added JS Function to get total amount of players online - GetPlayerCount()
onSwing JS Event can now trigger in scripts attached to items, not just items attached to characters
Added some JS Functions to expose some hard-coded constants to JS scripts:
BASEITEMSERIAL() // Base item serial
INVALIDSERIAL() // Invalid serial
INVALIDID() // Invalid ID
INVALIDCOLOUR() // Invalid colour
Fixed an issue where JS character property .colour would modify origSkin property instead of colour
Fixed an issue where JS character property .guildTitle returned the name of the character instead of the guild title
Character JS property .poison can now also be used to set a character's poisoned level, not just read it
Exposed Item property to JS engine:
.ac // armour class for item (0-128). Primarily used for setting race-restrictions for equippable items, i.e. race X cannot equip items of armour class Y.
.def // defensive value of item (Physical resistance post-AoS, AR in older UO)
// NOTE: The following properties don't actually do anything yet, but can still be used in custom JS scripts if desired
.resistCold // Cold resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistHeat // Heat/Fire resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistLight // Light resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistLightning // Energy/Lightning resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistPoison // Poison resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistRain // Rain resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistSnow // Snow resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.damageHeat // Weapon deals Heat/Fire elemental damage (true/false)
.damageCold // Weapon deals Cold elemental damage (true/false)
.damageLight // Weapon deals Light elemental damage (true/false)
.damageLightning // Weapon deals Lightning elemental damage (true/false)
.damagePoison // Weapon deals Poison elemental damage (true/false)
.damageRain // Weapon deals Rain/Water elemental damage (true/false)
.damageSnow // Weapon deals Snow/Ice elemental damage (true/false)
Added new UOX.INI setting under [server] to enable/disable shard response to ConnectUO server polling (disabled by default)
Sub-commands are no longer included when registering packets to be overloaded via RegisterPacket function, as that part was never fully implemented. Packet-hook scripts can be setup for specific packet IDs, but any sub-command checking will need to be done in the script itself
JS Packet Method GetDWord() now uses JS_NewNumberValue instead of INT_TO_JSVAL to read from the socket buffer, to better handle large numbers, which could previously be returned with wrong values.
JS Function CalcItemFromSer() now uses a JS_GetStringBytes() and str_value() combo instead of JSVAL_TO_INT() to read the data provided in the function argument. This allows JS scripts to provide item serials to the function directly without needing to split it into four parts first (though that still works)
Fixed issue where JS properties for multis didn't always return correct values
The 'set command can now be used to set the armour class of items ('set ac #)
Reimplemented 'tweak command in JS engine (js/commands/targeting/tweak.js) - can be used to view and modify properties of characters, character skills, items, multis and regions (target ground)
Added placeholder packet-hook script (js/server/network/0xf1_connectUoServerPoll.js) to handle responses to ConnectUO server polling. By default this script does nothing, but serves as a placeholder for drop-in replacement scripts generated specifically for each shard by the ConnectUO service.
Updated some commands to support an alternate STATIC keyword (can also be ommitted) to add base items:
'add static itemID
'tile static itemID
Updated some commands with support for randomization. Provided itemID will be randomized based on provided rndValue:
/js/commands/targeting/add.js:
'add itemID rndValue
cmdtable.cpp and targeting.cpp:
'tile itemID rndValue
'tile itemID x1 x2 y1 y2 z rndValue
Updated js/commands/custom/repeatingcmds.js to support 'm delete as an alias for 'rremove
Added 'props as an alias for the 'tweak command
Added 'teleport as an alias for the 'tele command (js/commands/targeting/tele.js)
Added 'shavehair and 'shavebeard as aliases for 'kill hair and 'kill beard (js/commands/targeting/kill.js)
Added 'noinvul and 'mortal aliases for the 'invul false command (js/commands/custom/misc-cmds.js)
Added 'immortal and 'invul (without parameter) as aliases for the 'invul true command
Added 'bringtopack as an alias of 'movetobag command (js/commands/targeting/movetobag.js)
Updated check for cancelling of target cursor in various JS scripts
Minor updates to various JS scripts
Fixed issue where some item definitions in dfndata/harditems/harditems.dfn and dfndata/items/building/lighting.dfn used comma instead of space as delimiter for the VALUE tag, which thus never got applied
Updated all NPC definitions to let NPCs spawn facing in random directions
Fixed an issue with books where server could get stuck in an infinite loop if number of lines per page was higher than 8. Now capped at 8 lines per page.
Renamed item type enum IT_READABLEBOOK to IT_BOOK, since it's the item type used by both readable and writeable books.
Changed ANIMALATTACKCHANCE to use a scale of 1 to 1000 instead of 1 to 100, for additional granularity in setting the chance for animals to get attacked by monsters. An INI value of 15 now translates as 1.5% chance (per NPC AI cycle!) instead of the previous 15%
Removed new GetEnvironment() function and expanded on the use of the existing OS_STR define in Config.h
Updated fireworks wand (IT_FIREWORKSWAND) so effects no longer play permanently in ClassicUO client
Fixed an issue with converting a house from public to private while there were player vendors in the house
Ported player vendor deeds and placement of player vendors to JS (UOX3/js/server/house/playerVendorDeed.js) and added checks to make sure player is in a house they own, that can hold more player vendors, and that they are trying to add the vendor in a location that's not blocking any doors.
Partially ported guildstone deed functionality to JS (UOX3/js/item/guildstone.js) and added various additional checks to make sure player is in a house they own, they're not already in a guild, no other guildstones exist in the house and they're not trying to place it in a location that blocks any doors. Main guild creation code is still hardcoded, though.
Removed some unused item types that have been marked as candidates for deletion for over 15 years (IT_CHAOSGATEOPENER, IT_CHAOSGATE, IT_GUILLOTINEANIM, IT_TRAININGDUMMYANIM)!
Updated UOX3 documentation with complete list of item types, and item layers, in addition to other small additions.
Fixed an issue with advanced pathfinding where NPCs in some cases would stop 1 tile before reaching the target location
Fixed an issue where no crafting resources would ever be lost if failing to craft an item that only required 1 of a given crafting resource
Fixed an issue with pathfinding that could cause NPCs to queue up in long rows when attempting to reach the same target in combat when advanced pathfinding was disabled
Added functionality to allow guild masters to move guildstones by transforming these into portable stones that can be used to place the guildstones in new locations
Updated timestamp for packet logs to include milliseconds for greater granularity
Added new Makefile that handles compiling UOX3 and Spidermonkey on both Linux and MacOS (punt)
Added VS solution (SpiderMonkey.sln) and VC++ project files for compiling SpiderMonkey on Windows (Xuri)
Updated SpiderMonkey from v1.6.0 to v1.7.0
Added optimization flag -O2 for release build in CMakeLists.txt in project root (Xuri)
Added StringUtility file with general common string manipulation functions (punt)
Updated RandomNum function to use a "seedless" random number generator from C++11 instead of the old C rand() function. (punt)
Overall code cleanup to remove/replace platform-dependent code (punt)
Replaced potentially unsafe usage of C string stuff like sprintf, vsprintf, vsnprintf, strncat, strcpy and strlen throughout the code with calls to a format() function containing only a single, safe use of vsnprintf, ensuring there's a single place of failure if there's anything to fix and and making it easy to potentially replace this with std::format from C++20 when the time comes. (punt)
Replaced usage of char in many places with std::string (punt)
Started process of replacing UString usage with functions provided through StringUtility instead (punt)
Replaced platform specific fileIO handling in Windows/Linux with cross-platform C++17 standard std::filesystem (punt)
Replaced platform specific time handling by using cross-platform chrono library (punt)
Removed UOX namespace to reduce complexity (punt)
Elimitated template code approach to singletons for more modern c++ constructs, removing dependices in the process (punt)
Removed ODBC support; it hasn't been touched since the initial implementation in 2008, and there is a lack of someone to maintain the code. (punt)
Removed some platform specific files like uoxlinux.h, which is no longer required (punt)
Removed legacy crash protection code, and removed support for cluox (punt)
Removed legacy "support" for Borland compiler (punt)
Removed legacy VC++ 6 Workspace/Project files, VS2005 Solution/Project files, as these are no longer supported (Xuri)
Removed legacy BUILD folder with outdated compilation instructions (Xuri)
Removed old Changelog file (merged into Changelog.txt) (Xuri)
Fixed a pointer bug for items in multis on world load (punt)
Fixed a dictionary related issue that caused segmentation faults on Linux/MacOS (punt)
Fixed an issue with callbacks to JS scripts that caused segmentation faults on Linux/MacOS (punt)
Paths in uox.ini should now load properly on all platforms regardless of whether those paths use slashes or backslashes, and whether or not they end in a slash/backslash. (punt)
Moved to c++17 style of threading, and got rid of threadsafeobject.cpp/h (punt)
Replaced parsing of UOX.INI tags with a system that's more easily maintainable (punt)
Added some new commands to js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js (Xuri)
cont // Targeted item will be made a container, set to nondecay and movable 2
endfight // Targeted character (and character being fought) will stop fighting
getmulti // Get multiObject for targeted item
finditem // Find item at layer X
movespeed // Set movement speed of target player (0x0 Normal, 0x1 Mounted, 0x2 Slow (walk only), 0x3 Hybrid ("jog"?), 0x4 Frozen)
Added new HTML based documentation in docs folder, and removed many old legacy docs that are either incorporated into this document already or no longer relevant for the current UOX3 version (Xuri)
Co-Authored-By: Charles Kerr <punt1959@users.noreply.github.com>
Embraced the usage of R32, R64, SI16, UI16, SI32, UI32, SI64 and UI64 typedef aliases as replacement for built-in types throughout the sourcecode:
typedef float R32;
typedef double R64;
typedef signed char SI08;
typedef unsigned char UI08;
typedef signed short int SI16;
typedef unsigned short int UI16;
typedef signed int SI32;
typedef unsigned int UI32;
typedef signed long long SI64;
typedef unsigned long long UI64;
As part of this process, UI32 was redefined from unsigned long int to unsigned int, and SI32 from signed long int to signed int to ensure the size of variables using these remain the same (32bit) across both Windows, Linux and MacOS for both 32bit and 64bit platforms
Replaced instances of toLong() with toInt(), and toULong() to toUInt()
Replaced instances of "long" and "int" with SI32 where possible
Replaced instances of "unsigned long" and "unsigned int" with UI32 where possible
Replaced instances of "float" with R32 where possible
Misc code and documentation cleanup:
Updated and standardized function comment blocks throughout entire codebase
Grouped getters and setters together in pairs and documented them as one
Removed empty and/or non-useful information from comment blocks
Removed unused function from cItem.cpp/h - IncID() - formerly used to change IDs for doors
Added new feature - Instances
Objects (characters, items, multis, spawnregions) can now make use of a 5th parameter to determine their location in the game world. In addition to the traditional X, Y, Z and WORLDNUMBER parameters, a new one has been added - INSTANCEID - that allows objects to exist at the same coordinates in the same world, but in different "dimensions". Code has been updated in multiple places to support this, and a default instanceID of 0 is assumed if nothing else is specified.
Added support for new DFN tag in town regions, spawn regions and locations - INSTANCEID (defaults to 0 if not present)
Added support for another start location parameter after worldNum in UOX.INI representing instanceID (defaults to 0 if not present)
Updated TWEAK menu to include WorldNumber and instanceID
Fixed BaseWeight option in TWEAK menu
Updated CBase_Teleport - now takes an optional 5th parameter instanceID
Updated SE_SpawnNPC now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_FindMulti now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_GetItem now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_FindItem now takes an optional 6th parameter - instanceID
Added new JS property for Items, Characters, Regions: .instanceID
Added JS property for Regions: .members - returns comma-separated list of town member serials
Updated JS scripts making use of the above-mentioned JS Methods/Functions
Updated dictionaries with new tweak menu entry texts
Exposed SpawnRegions to JS engine, and updated JS docs with details:
SpawnRegion JS Functions
IterateOverSpawnRegions()
GetSpawnRegion( spawnRegNum )
GetSpawnRegionCount()

-Fixed up calcStealDiff() to match new weight system
-Minor updates to CPStatsWindow to match the new Armor DEF system and Weight
system
-Fixed calls to getTileName() so the names container was set with MAX_NAME
-Fixed up getFieldDir() using direction typedefs
-Changed Get/SetMagic() to Get/SetMovable()
-Cleaned up some unrefrenced params
-Changed some int's to UI16's in books.cpp
-WorldSave Changes:
-XYZ and worldnum to Location=x,y,z,worldnum
-HiDamage and LoDamage into Damage=hidamage,lodamage
-Strength,st2,Dexterity,dx2,Intelligence,in2 changed to Strength=str,st2,
Intelligence=int,in2, Dexterity=dex,dx2
-DWord0-3 changed to DWords=0,1,2,3
-FX1,FY1,FX2,FY2,FZ1 changed to WanderArea=FX1,FY1,FX2,FY2,FZ1
-MoreX,MoreY,MoreZ changed to MoreXYZ=morex,morey,morez
-More,More2 changed to More=more,more2
-Type,Type2 changed to Type=type,type2
-Light,Rain,Heat,Cold,Snow,Lightning changed to
RaceDamage=Light,Rain,Heat,Cold,Snow,Lightning
-Fame,Karma,Kills changed to Reputation=fame,karma,kills
-Complete rewrite to the Weight system
-Weight is more permanent, removed need to recalc it constantly
-Packs now show the weight of themselves and all their contents
-Packs now have a weight limit (currently hardcapped to 400, should make it
based on type of container and possibly scriptable)
-All items use the weight value given to them in the scripts unless the entry
is 0 in which case they pull weight from the MUL's
-Better handling of overloaded for teleport / recall / walking
-Weight will max out at 65535 stones and can not go lower than 0 stones
-Items container is now set as a cBaseObject
-Fixed up itemsfx() and renamed it to itemSound(), now better handles Gold
sfx and where an item was dropped (ie in a pack or on the ground)
-Cleaned up goldsfx() and renamed it to goldSound()
-Many fixes to get/drop/wear/packItem functions
-Minor fixes/cleanups in movement.cpp
-Fixed a worldsave crash with tamed creatures
-Pressing 0 in console reloads items as well as everything else
-Made dagger usable for carve again
-Fixed a horse mounting distance check
-Noted (and in some cases fixed) unrefrenced variables throughout the code
-Converted inscribe.gmp to inscribe.dfn and used NewMakeMenu() in favor of the
old make menu system
-Updated GetMagic() == 3 calls to IsLockedDown() calls (as that is all it
should be used for)
-Fixed up all IsLockedDown() calls, resources that are LockedDown can NOT be
used, even by GM, until released
-Also note, items that should be usable if locked: Skill items (looms, training
dummies, etc, Recall runes)
-Moved the two functions from newbie.cpp to pcmanage.cpp and removed newbie.cpp
from the project
-Moved action() and impaction() to effects.cpp
-Moved isHuman() to npcs.cpp
-Where possible made functions that were part of classes private
