Fixed incorrect alias for woodland armor (dfndata/items/gear/armor/other/armor/wood.dfn - thanks Dragon Slayer)

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:

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)
Removed RemoveFromSight() from CItem::Update() in cItem.cpp, to address flickering issues with animated items, and for smoother updates of items on boats when sailing.

Added new DFN tag for Items and Multis to mark objects as damageable objects
DAMAGEABLE=0/1 // If enabled, allows client to display healthbar for object, using object's hp/maxhp values as basis. Note that any changes to a damageable object's health will not be reflected in the client until a stat update has been sent.
Added new JS Property for Items and Multis and Characters to get/set an object's damageable flag
.isDamageable // 1 or 0

Updated DFN entries for training dummies (dfndata/items/houseaddons/house_addons.dfn) to include DAMAGEABLE=1 and HP=100 tags, and also updated script for training dummies (js/item/trainingdummy.js) with some extra features for dummies marked as damageable:
Show damage numbers over the training dummy when hit
Update health of training dummy based on damage received when hit
Restore health of training dummy to max after 4 seconds of inactivity
Updated 'fullstats and 'heal commands (js/commands/targeting/stats.js) to support restoring the health of a damageable object

Updated updateStats() in uox3.cpp to work with CBaseObject instead of CChar
Updated statwindow() in CSocket.cpp to work with CBaseObject instead of CChar
Updated CPUpdateStat in CPacketSend.cpp to work with CBaseObject instead of CChar, to support sending packet 0xA1 to client for Items/Multis
Updated CPStatWindow in CPacketSend.cpp to work with CBaseObject instead of CChar, to support sending packet 0x11 to client for Items/Multis
Fixed an issue with outgoing packet 0x11 where a character's current HP might sometimes incorrectly be displayed as zero
Updated CPNewObjectInfo in CPacketSend.cpp to send object information packet 0xF3 to client with datatype set to 0x03 for Items/Multis marked as damageable objects, to enable the client's ability to display health-bars for these items.
Fixed an issue with JS Method for Items - .Refresh() - which previously did nothing, but now instead sends an update of item to all sockets in range
Fixed return value logic for onUseChecked/onUsedUnchecked JS events - was reversed by mistake!

Updated 'get command to allow retrieving a character's hungerRate property
Added some details to console during UOX3 startup about which IPs and Ports UOX3 is listening to
Added new JS event that triggers when a player clicks on the Quest button in the paperdoll. Triggers from character script if present, or global script if not:

Added findNearbyObjects() function to findfuncs.cpp, to find all objects (characters and items) of CBaseObject class near a specified location
Improved performance when initializing multis on startup; now checks for items near multis, instead of checking for multis near every single item!
Improved performance when loading items and characters from worldfiles during startup; around 33% faster for release builds, around ~50% faster when running in debug mode through visual studio (punt)
Updated createSection() in ssection.cpp to use std::string and StringUtility functions instead of UString, and added some error handling (punt)
Co-Authored-By: Charles Kerr <punt1959@users.noreply.github.com>
Updated JS SysMessage function to accept up to 10 extra, optional arguments, which can be used with dictionary messages that require additional parameters like %s or %i

Updated 'REMOVE command to take an optional parameter - itemID. If supplied, the command will remove all items with this itemID from a targeted container
Fixed a bug when checking if dynamic items were blocking valid spawn locations for NPCs, some function arguments were in the wrong order!
Improved code that finds valid spawn locations for items and NPCs spawned via spawn regions. As server gradually builds up lists of valid spawn locations per region over time, it will start using these lists more often, rather than always look for brand new spawn locations.

MAXITEMS=# // 125 is the default for all containers if not set
Added new JS Item properties:
.maxItems // gets/sets item capacity for a given container
.totalItemCount // gets total item count in a container, including sub-containers
Updated item tooltips for containers to show accurate total item count, as well as to display max item capacity

Fixed an issue where crafting skills might consume the wrong resource if additional resources of the same ID but different color were present in player's backpack
Improved AmbientFootsteps feature so footstep sounds are played more in tune with character movement
AmbientFootsteps now also play for NPC movement
Changed how code handles randomizing between MINTIME and MAXTIME values from region spawners; now multiplies values by 60 (to get seconds) before randomizing, instead of after, to make use of full range of seconds between the values (which are in minutes)
Adjusted default global NPC movement speeds in [speedup} section of uox.ini to use less extreme values
Added a DEBUGMOVEMULTIPLIER define in cChar.cpp used to multiply NPC movement delays by the specified value (1.75 by default) when running UOX3 in debug mode, due to reduced server performance in debug mode

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)

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)

Co-Authored-By: Charles Kerr <punt1959@users.noreply.github.com>
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
