Cleaned up an issue with last commit where wrong npclists were used in some spawn regions
Made a few additional adjustments to the new spawn regions in Lost Lands/New Haven
Included more changes related to poison updates that should've been in previous commit (like the complete UOX.INI support for POISONCORROSIONSYSTEM setting)
Adjusted region setup for New Haven to set the individual "building" regions within as a sub-region of the main town (regions.dfn)
Fixed an issue where the displayed HP of an equipped item would not update correctly
Further updates to convert timers 32-bit to 64-bit. This affects and addresses some potential issues with: Character creation/NPC guild-join timestamps, NPC movement, combat timers, idle timeouts, item decay, spellcasting
Added support for new JS Events that can trigger from global script, and can be used to store persistent custom entries in players' paperdoll profiles:
onProfileRequest( socket, profileOwnerChar ) - Triggers when client requests data for a paperdoll profile
onProfileUpdate( socket, updatedText ) - Triggers when client sends updated data from paperdoll profile
Added two new helper functions in code that allows faster (but very slightly less accurate) distance checks between two points: GetApproxDist( Point3_st a, Point3_st b )
GetApproxDist( CBaseObject *a, CBaseObject *b )
Improved pathfinding for NPCs attempting to follow another character, by adopting a system of weighted variables to help the NPC determine when to recalculate the path vs when to stick with the old, combined with faster distance checks via GetApproxDist(). The end result of this is faster, smarter and more responsive NPC followers and NPC opponents in combat. The variables influencing this include: how far the target has moved from last pathfind target location, whether NPC is heading in the overall right direction or not, time since last path calculation and some small randomization to avoid edge case jitters.
Updated default command levels in commands.dfn, code and scripts to support the Seer role and make space for some custom roles. These are the new defaults as listed in commands.dfn, which should not be changed as they are linked to specific enums in code. Do take note that this might invalidate command levels for existing GMs/Seers/Counselors, who might need another round of 'make gm/seer/cns from an admin:
ADMIN - command level 10
GM - command level 9
SEER - command level 7
CNS - command level 4
PLAYER - command level 0
Updated how UOX3 makes use of the account-level flags 0x2000 (Seer) and 0x4000 (Counselor). If either of these flags are set on an account, all new characters created on the accounts will automatically receive the relevant command privileges.
Fixed an issue with 'wholist command that prevented admin characters from seeing characters with lower privilege levels in the list (js/commands/wholist.js)
Fixed an issue with hiding/GM hide that prevented admin characters from seeing hidden characters with lower privilege levels in the world
UOX3 now includes the cross-platform, header-only utf8cpp library found at https://github.com/nemtrif/utfcpp and freely available under Boost Software License v1.0. The immediate use-case for this is in code right now is to better handle strings related to custom paperdoll profiles, but will also look to make more heavy use of this in future updates
Got rid of the Overflow() function, which no longer serves a purpose after timers have been upgraded from uint32_t to uint64_t
Unified usage of TIMERVAL (UI64) and TVAL (also UI64) across code base; now only TIMERVAL is used
Updated BuildTimeValue() function parameter from R32 to R64
Updated casting of values passed into BuildTimeValue() across source base
Updated JS Timers and Temp Effects to support starting, saving and loading very long term effect timers; no more 49 days upper limit
Ninja fix for new items added to a container appearing underneath other items in the container instead of over
Cleaned up a couple of warnings highlighted by static code analysis
Fixed an issue with NPC evasion pathfinding where the direction wasn't always set correctly
Fixed an issue with onNameRequest JS Event where the size of param jsval (2) didn't match actual number of parameters provided (3)
Removed setting uoxTimeout.tv_usec to 1 in CNetworkStuff::CheckLoginMessage() to address slower core loop iterations on Windows, due to differences in timer resolutions supported by WinSock2 function select() on different platforms - tv_usec 1 is treated as 1 microsecond on Linux/macOS, but as 1 millisecond on Windows
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
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
Added spawn region for banker NPCs in Serpent's Hold (dfndata/spawn/felucca/spawn_town_serpents_hold.dfn, dfndata/spawn/trammel/spawn_town_serpents_hold.dfn)
Fixed region definition of Ocllo to actually cover the entire town (dfndata/regions/regions.dfn)
Added numerous additional locations accessible with 'goplace # command, for key locations in Ilshenar, Malas, Tokuno Islands and Ter Mur (dfndata/location/location.dfn)
Revised travel-menu portion of GM menu (shortcut: 'travel) to include more travel options based on new locations (dfndata/items/travelmenu.dfn and travelmenu.bulk.dfn)
Fixed an issue where NPCs could attempt to attack targets in other worlds/instances
Added new JS Event that triggers for characters who are about to deal damage in combat. Complimentary to onDamage, which triggers for chars receiving damage:
onDamageDeal( dmgDealer, dmgReceiver, damageValue, damageType )
Added new JS Event that can trigger in global script upon creation of new player chars. Note that this will trigger in place of onCreateDFN event for player characters:
onCreatePlayer( pChar )
Added new JS Event that triggers for characters selecting a target with a spell. Complimentary to onSpellTarget, which triggers for targets selected with a spell:
onSpellTargetSelect( caster, target, spellNum )
Updated onCombatStart and onCombatEnd JS Events to also trigger for the other party in combat
Updated onPickup JS Event to include a third parameter - the potential container item was picked up from. Event now also triggers event in scripts attached to said containers:
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:
.isYoung
Added new Char timers:
TIMER_YOUNGHEAL // Restricts how often Young players are healed by NPC healers
TIMER_YOUNGMESSAGE // Restricts how often Young players are warned about dangerous looking monsters in overworld
Updated GM commands 'get and 'set to get/set .isYoung property of player's account (js/commands/targeting/get.js and set.js)
Added new UOX.INI setting to enable/disable Young Player System (enabled by default):
YOUNGPLAYERSYSTEM=1
If Young Player System is enabled, all newly created player accounts are automatically marked with Young flag
Added new script to handle various restrictions and functions related to Young characters (js/player/young_player.js):
Young characters will have [Young] displayed over their head
Young characters will have their Young status checked and verified on every login + every stat/skill gain, to revoke the Young status if any of the following is true:
Account has a total playtime of more than 40 hours
Any character has more than 350 total (base) skill points
Any character has more than 70 skill points in a single skill
Any character has more than 150 total stat points
Any character has more than 80 stat points in a single stat
Young characters can renounce their Young status manually by saying the words "I renounce my young player status"
Young characters get two additional items upon creation:
a new player ticket (can be combined with any other players new player ticket for both players to get a reward)
a sextant (shows Young players directions to nearest moongate/bank regardless of where they are, as long as outdoors)
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 script for NPC guildmasters (js/npc/ai/guildmaster.js). Only one NPC guild has been setup in the script so far (more can be easily added) - the Thieves Guild - which if joined grants players the ability to steal from other players and to buy disguise kits
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
Players can no longer steal items from NPC shopkeepers
Both hands must be free to steal
Stealing now checks line of sight to target player/object
Only members of Thieves Guild (NPC guild) can now steal from other players, unless they are guild enemies
Players can no longer steal from NPC guards by default
Players can no longer steal from the same NPC monster more than once
Only gold and gems can be stolen from innocent players in dungeon/ll areas of Felucca, if core shard era is set to AoS or higher
Players can no longer steal items held on cursor by other players
Orcish masks now eplode if player steals from orcs while wearing it
If core shard era is set to LBR or lower, player is marked as an aggressor if they steal from another player
Guards can only be called on players that are flagged as criminals within the first 10 seconds of them being flagged
Stealing script options:
Allow stealing entire containers (off by default pre-AoS)
Return stolen items on thief death (off by default)
Temporarily make stolen items immovable in thief's backpack (on by default post-AoS)
Temporarily protect traded items (on by default)
Let dexterity affect chance for successful theft (off by default)
Let light level affect chance for successful theft (off by default)
Allow stealing from NPC Guards (off by default)
Allow stealing special loot from monsters (on by default post-ml)
Moved implementation of Snooping skill from code to script (js/skill/snooping.js), with some changes:
Players cannot snoop pack animals from inside a house, if the animal is outside
The deeper inside main backpack a container sits, the harder it becomes to snoop inside it
Included an optional feature that lets targets of snooping gradually become more aware, increasing the difficulty of succeeding. This awareness fades over time.
Players have a chance to stay hidden while snooping, based on their Hiding skill
Karma is now lowered by snooping regardless of success or failure
Added tracking system for "aggressors" in combat. A player attacking someone (regardless of flag status) will be marked as aggressor to that someone for 2 minutes
Added tracking system for "permagrey" flags - these are stored on a per-target basis, so a player can be flagged visibly as permagrey to multiple other players. Persists until player dies.
Player combat targets and war mode are now cleared on logout
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 with patrolling-portion of hireling script - was incorrectly using Z coordinate as a parameter of WalkTo - should be maxSteps (js/npc/ai/hireling.js)
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!)
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
Updated Item DFNs with ORIGIN and SECTIONID tags for relevant items
Added JS Function to make comparing eras (based on object origin or server settings) easier:
EraStringToNum( eraString ) // Takes an era string (uo, t2a, uor, td, lbr, aos, etc) and returns an int
Updated some JS scripts to use EraStringToNum() for era comparisons (potionkeg.js)
Default CORESHARDERA setting is now LBR
Removed PUB15 as a separate "era" - it's identical to late stage LBR anyway:
Removed support for GETPUB15 tag
Added support for GETUO tag for items/NPCs:
GETUO=<sectionID> // Inherit DFN section if core shard era is Ultima Online (original release, before T2A)
Rewrote portions of MsgBoardQuestEscortCreate() function in msgboard.cpp to ensure only escort regions within same world as NPC can be selected as destinations
Increased maximum number of possible escort regions that can exist from 255 to 65535
Added region definitions for all shrines in Britannia (Fel & Trammel), and marked them as valid destinations for NPC escorts (uox3/regions/regions.dfn)
Moved bankers from vendor to human DFN files, and made them inherit basehuman instead of basevendor - since they are not vendors
To address an issue with escorted NPCs not timing out and vanishing if they are left in a "dormant" area of the world with no player activity, the NPCs are marked as "always awake" the moment they arrive at their destination. Note that the uox.ini setting ALLOWAWAKENPCS needs to be enabled for this to work.
Fixed an issue where spawnsection of spawners did not show up correctly in tweak menu
Fixed an issue where the generic Orc AI script didn't have a return true at end of onDamage() event, which prevented all orcs from taking damage in combat (js/npc/ai/monster/orc.js)
Moved Anatomy skill-check in healing script (js/skill/healing.js) from onCallback1() function to onTimer() to prevent the skill-check from being spammable
Added mount ID for Frost Mite in creatures.dfn, allowing it to be used as mount
Exposed the following character properties to JS engine, which can be used to view/adjust the permanent hair/beard options for a character:
.hairStyle
.hairColour
.beardStyle
.beardColour
Updated 'kill hair, 'shavehair, 'shavebeard and 'remove commands to clear permanent hair/beard colour and style properties in addition to removing the item itself
Added a GM override to let GMs place as many houses as they want (js/server/house/houseDeed.js)
Fixed an issue where attempting to sell items to NPC shopkeepers could result in client crashing
Added a new JS Event:
onMultiLogout( iMulti, cPlayer ) // Handles players logging out while inside multis
Updated house script (js/server/house/house.js) with onMultiLogout event, which allows owners (always) and co-owners/friends/guests (if option enabled in uox.ini) to safely log out inside the house (without getting booted).
Added a "keyless" option for interacting with locked doors (js/item/doors.js) of player-owned houses, which lets owners/co-owners/friends/guests of a house use locked doors in the house without requiring a key in their backpack, if the options for that are enabled in UOX.INI. Enabled for owners/co-owners and friends by default (but not for guests)
Note that if option to safely log out is enabled, but keyless option is NOT enabled, then the server will check if the player has a key to the house in their backpack, and eject them from the house upon logging out if not. This is to make sure players don't get stuck inside a house they can't get out of because they lack the rights to open doors etc.
Added new UOX.INI options, under the [houses] section:
SAFECOOWNERLOGOUT=1 // Allow co-owners to safely and instantly log out inside house
SAFEFRIENDLOGOUT=1 // Allow friends to safely and instantly log out inside house
SAFEGUESTLOGOUT=1 // Allow guests to safely and instantly log out inside house
KEYLESSOWNERACCESS=1 // Allow owner of house to use locked doors in house without key in pack
KEYLESSCOOWNERACCESS=1 // Allow co-owners of house to use locked doors in house without key in pack
KEYLESSFRIENDACCESS=1 // Allow friends of house to use locked doors in house without key in pack
KEYLESSGUESTACCESS=0 // Allow guests of house to use locked doors in house without key in pack
Fixed NOHAIR tag from races.dfn not being loaded correctly
Fixed an issue with onDyeTarget event where the dyetub and target object parameters were not set properly
Fixed some incorrect casting animation-related variable assignments for AI_HEALER and AI_EVIL_HEALER
Fixed an issue with pets not going wild from lack of loyalty to their owners when at zero loyalty
Addressed issues with idle/fidget animation setup that could cause NPCs to blink out of existence
Removed stray semicolon behind control statement related to triggering of OnFacetChange JS event
Fixed an issue with Bless spell when cast from item
Some minor code cleanup
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 with mining that allowed mining on non-valid static tiles
Fixed an issue that prevented boats from moving
Fixed an issue that prevented boats from being blocked by blocking tiles
Fixed an issue where salute and bow emotes got reversed
Fixed an issue where karma titles would inadvertently have the space behind the title trimmed before being displayed in paperdoll, resulting in erroneous display of title + name there
Fixed an issue with a cooking script (js/skill/cooking/cooking.js) where sweet dough would not get consumed properly on cooking (Dragon Slayer)
Updated C++ function calcRegionFromXY to work with CBaseObject instead of CChar, so it also works for Items
Items now have current town region stored as an object property during runtime. This is calculated on load, when container property is updated, and when an item is picked up or dropped. The region is also accessible via the (read-only) JS Item property .region
Added new JS Event to allow capturing button presses from the old-school gump displayed by client via packet 0x76, which was originally used by the old-school crafting menus in T2A. The requirement for this to work is that the gump in question must have a gumpID between 0x4000 and 0xffff (which can be set when manually creating a packet with this ID via JS), and the Event itself must be in the global script:
onScrollingGumpPress( pSock, gumpID, buttonID )
Added new JS Event to allow better control over which names UOX3 sends to the client for characters:
onNameRequest( myObj, requestedBy ) // return custom string, or return empty string/nothing/true/false to use default name
Updated JS Events to also work for Items (previously only worked for Characters)
onLightChange( myObj, lightLevel )
onTempChange( myObj, temp )
onWeatherChange( myObj, weatherType )
Adjusted default temperature for town regions with no weather systems defined from 0 to 20 degrees Celsius
Updated some JS scripts (fishing.js, baking.js and cooking.js) to make use of GetTempTag/SetTempTag rather than GetTag/SetTag
Added cancel-checks to targeting functions in command script for add-commands (js/commands/targeting/add.js)
Updated get command script (js/commands/targeting/get.js) to allow retrieving region ID and name using 'get region
Updated misc command script (js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js) to add 'gettemptag and 'settemptag commands, used to retrieve/set temporary custom tags from/on objects
Fixed a bug where Spirit Speak skill would be checked for race languages even if the race had LANGUAGEMIN defined as 0 (or not defined at all)
Fixed an issue where players using regular UO client would get stuck in a black void after teleporting between worlds, by adding an additional character refresh after the teleport
Fixed an issue where crafting tools for Blacksmithing and Carpentry would attempt to fetch the value of an incorrectly named INI setting to handle durability loss for the tools
Added new setting under [settings] section of UOX.INI to control whether it should be possible to craft weapons from coloured ingots or not:
CRAFTCOLOUREDWEAPONS=0/1 // If enabled(1), players can craft coloured weapons. Defaults to disabled(0)
Fixed an issue where the correct ingots were not consumed when attempting to craft items using colored ingots
Fixed a rogue debug message leftover in the scissor script
Improved overall performance of NPC pathfinding (by nearly 60%!) by eliminating some double-work done when checking for blocking dynamics and statics
Optimized how the system for determining which internal map regions should have active NPCs; instead of there always being 9 active map regions surrounding any given player who's online, that number will now vary between 3 to 6 map regions, depending on how far the player is from boundaries between such map regions. This should reduce the amount of NPCs active and trying to pathfind at any given point when players are online.
UOX3 now adapts the time between each time it checks Spawn Regions based on how "full" the Spawn Regions are on average - the nearer they are to max capacity, the longer time between each time Spawn Regions are checked
Fixed an issue with reloading of spawn regions where UOX3 would forget about previously spawned NPCs/Items and respawn everything all over again. As part of the reload process, UOX3 now iterates over previously spawned objects and deletes these where appropriate
Added two new races to races.dfn - Ophidian (RACE 25) and Terathan (RACE 26) - which have been setup as racial enemies
Updated the race ID of relevant Ophidian and Terathan NPCs (dfndata/npc/arachnids.dfn and dfndata/npc/reptiles.dfn)
Added support for NPCs engaging other NPCs in combat if they are marked as racial enemies via races.dfn
Extended the amount of JS events supported by UOX3's JS engine from 96 to 192
Added new JS Event to allow overriding behaviour from Help button in paperdoll:
onHelpGump( pChar ) // Overrides default gump menu when pressing Help button in paperdoll
Added new JS Event to allow preventing characters from toggling on/off war/combat mode
onWarModeToggle( p Char ) // return false to prevent war mode toggle
Added new JS Event to allow overriding target selection in combat for default AI behaviours:
onAICombatTarget( pAttacker, pTarget ) // return true to select current target, or false to skip and look for another
Updated JS onDamage() JS event to allow returning false to override and prevent damage dealt to a character. Event must now return true to allow damage to go through
Updated JS Event onSwing to work for characters with no weapon equipped (iSwinging will be null, in this case)
Updated JS Object Method .KillTimers() to also work for Characters, not just Items
Added JS script that renders characters it's attached to immune to physical damage (js/npc/special/physical_immunity.js)
Renamed shadow_elemental.js to magical_immunity.js, as it's generic script that can be attached to any NPC
Added more pre-defined books to dfndata/misc/books.dfn (and dfndata/items/misc/books.dfn):
A Welcome (a_welcome) // Book by Blackthorn, dropped as loot by Betrayers
Added definitions for additional NPCs, with scripted special abilities where applicable:
Orc Brute (orcbrute) // Throws Orc Lords, cannot be targeted by provoked creatures
Orc Chopper (orcchopper) // Attacks deal AoE damage to nearby targets
Betrayer (betrayer) // Colossal Blow (stuns and peacemakes), AoE poison (2m range)
Golem Controller (m_golemcontroller/f_golemcontroller)
Golem (golem) // Colossal Blow (stuns and peacemakes)
Crafted Golem (craftedgolem) // Crafted version of golem
Exodus Overseer (exodusoverseer) // Magical Shield (immune to physical damage until shield down)
Exodus Minion Lord (exodusminionlord) // Magical Shield (immune to physical damage until shield down)
Exodus Minion (exodusminion) // Magical shield (immune to physical damage until shield down), periodic AoE burst
Added script that allows Tinkerers to craft golem followers via Clockwork Assembly items (js/item/clockwork_assembly.js)
Added script for mask of orcish kin, which when worn prevents all orcs from attacking the wearer (js/item/orcish_kin_mask.js)
Added AI script for Exodus clockwork NPCs, which amongst a few other things makes them spawn with a magical shield that prevents physical damage being dealt to them until the shield has been brought down by magic damage (js/npc/ai/monster/exodus_clockwork.js)
Added AI script for orc NPCs which prevent them from attacking characters wearing masks of orcish kin (js/npc/ai/monster/orc.js)
Added AI script for orc brute NPCs, which makes the NPCs toss orc lords (up to 10 in total) when attacked by magic spells (js/npc/ai/monster/orc_brute.js)
Added AI script for orc chopper NPCs, which makes the NPCs hit all nearby valid targets with their melee attacks (js/npc/ai/monster/orc_chopper.js)
Added script for NPC special ability Colossal Blow, which both stuns and adds a temporary peacemaking effect to targets (js/npc/special/colossal_blow.js)
Updated Provocation skill to disallow directing provoked creatures at targets with the custom tag provImmune present
Fixed an issue with initialization of wander areas for NPCs spawned via object spawners, which caused NPCs to not stick to their assigned areas, but wander according to their own free will. Can't have that!
Fixed some issues with itemlists pointing to non-existing items (a turnip and 10 of each magical reagent)
Fixed an issue where information on newly spawned characters would get sent twice to each nearby player
Changed default value of ACCOUNTFLUSH ini setting from 0.0 to 5.0 seconds
Misc minor cleanup of console messages during startup and shutdown
Added new system that lets shard admins assign a "network" budget to connected clients, which determines the maximum amount of bytes clients are allowed to send to/receive from server over a period of ten seconds. If a client exceeds these limits three times in the same connected session, they'll receive a temporary ban and get kicked from the server. The following new UOX.INI settings under the [system] section can be used to control this feature:
MAXCLIENTBYTESIN=25000 // Max bytes client can send to server over 10 seconds
MAXCLIENTBYTESOUT=100000 // Max bytes client can receive from server over 10 seconds
NETTRAFFICTIMEBAN=30 // Duration (in minutes) of temporary ban for exceeding these limits
Fixed an issue that prevented GMs from using CSTATS and TWEAK buttons in 'wholist
Updated documentation with most recent changes to UOX.INI settings
Minor code cleanup
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

Reptalon, 51 to 77 dmg at max health
Skeletal Dragon, 52 to 77 dmg at max health
Ancient Wyrm, 60 to 90 dmg at max health
Update stats, skills and loot for all currently implemented NPCs
Removed an ancient piece of code that prevented corpses from being generated for various elementals and blade spirits on death. This was originally put in place because these creatures had no corpses, and would replace it with a backpack instead, but these creatures now all have corpses in all client versions supported by UOX3
Updated potions script (js/item/potion.js) with updated formula for amount of hitpoints healed by healing potions, and added restrictions for using them when at full health and/or if poisoned (Dragon Slayer)
Fixed a bug where creatures (and humans, if FORCENEWANIMATIONPACKET was disabled in uox.ini) would play animations with wrong frame count, causing the animations to either freeze for a few frames at the end, or get cut off a couple of frames early
Implemented bonus hit chance for Archery skill, based on mention of such a bonus in Publish 5 patch notes and related UO House of Commons chat. This has been exposed as a UOX.INI setting where this bonus can be tweaked:
ARCHERYHITBONUS=10 // Bonus hit chance for Archery skill added to regular hit chance in combat. Defaults to 10%
Implemented optional extra delay between moving and being able to shoot with ranged weapons in combat (in addition to whatever delay is there due to speed of the ranged weapon). This is exposed as a UOX.INI setting:
ARCHERYSHOOTDELAY=0.5 // Minimum delay in seconds from a player stops moving until they can start to fire their ranged weapon. Defaults to 0.5s
Fixed a bug where players who never entered combat mode could fire ranged weapons while moving
Updated Add-menu with some improvements for usability:
Menu now directly on the Objects (previously "Shard") tab for quicker access, with a small welcome text and quick-link button for UOX3 docs
Settings tab contains some (persistent, will be saved with character) options for how the Add-menu behaves, along with a few quick-access buttons to some useful commands. Available options:
Option to add chosen item at specific location instead of in GM's backpack
Option to add chosen item repeatedly until cancelled
Option to automatically reopen Add-menu on last menu that was open when a selection is made
Option to force decayable state of all added items to either off (doesn't decay), on (decays) or nothing (use item default)
Option to force movable state of all added items to either off (not movable), on (movable) or nothing (use item default)
Added a Home button at the bottom of the menu, that takes the user back to the front page of the Add-menu regardless of which menu page they're on
Updated Character/Socket JS Method SysMessage() with an optional parameter to specify the color used to display the system message. Updated syntax:
.SysMessage( "Text" ) // Display "Text" to user as a system message with default system message color from ini
.SysMessage( "Text %s %s", txtArg1, txtArg2 ) // Display "Text" to player with string arguments injected into text
.SysMessage( txtColor, "Text" ) // Display "Text" to user with a specified color
.SysMessage( txtColor, "Text %s %s", txtArg1, txtArg2 ) // Combination of text color, text and string arguments
Fixed a bug where hair/beard items could show up inside corpses
Fixed a bug where items could sometimes vanish (visually) from containers when bouncing back because player was not able to pick them up
Fixed a bug where players would be unable to pick up a freely movable item from a locked down container
Updated handling of item bouncing on pickup to use UOX3 dictionary messages instead of hard-coded client messages
Added support for new Dictionary language:
dictionary.POL - Polish (SERVERLANGUAGE=8 in uox.ini, or client language 83 if SERVERLANGUAGE is set to 0)
Added taming restrictions for Unicorn, Ki-Rin and Cu Sidhe (js/skill/taming.js)
Added modification of some creatures stats after they've been tamed (js/skill/taming.js)
Added restrictions for who can ride certain creatures (Unicorn, Ki-Rin, Cu Sidhe)
Updated words of power for Meteor Swarm spell to follow the same logic as other spells using Kal (Summon): Kal Des Flam Ylem
Added new Item/Character JS Methods to get/set temporary custom tags which don't persist across worldsaves (or across reconnects, for players):
.GetTempTag( "tagName" )
.SetTempTag( "tagName", tagValue )
When applying HPMAX, STAMINAMAX AND MANAMAX DFN tags to new NPCs, their current HP, STAMINA and MANA properties will now be automatically updated to match
Fixed a server crash caused by empty speech messages sent from certain clients
Fixed a bug that prevented teleport locations in Felucca/Trammel from working properly
Updated calculations in code for duration and damage of existing poison strengths (1 - Lesser, 2 - Normal, 3 - Greater, 4 - Deadly) to match with ~Publish 15 (LBR/pre-AoS), and added another poison strength for monster usage (5 - Lethal)
The strength of the Poison and Poison Field spells is now based on the average of the caster's Magery and Poisoning skills, the distance from the target (Poison spell only) and the target's Resisting Spells skill. If caster is further away than 2 tiles from target, the poison strength always equals Lesser Poison, otherwise the following rules apply:
If caster's combined skill is higher than 100.0, poison strength equals Greater Poison, with 5% chance of Deadly Poison (if Poison spell) or Deadly Poison (if Poison Field spell)
If caster's combined skill is higher than 70.2, poison strength equals Greater Poison
If caster's combined skill is higher than 30.2, poison strength equals Normal Poison
If caster's combined skill is 30.2 or lower, poison strength equals Lesser Poison
If target resists spell, poison strength is reduced by 1 level, unless it's already at the lowest level
Fixed an issue that would would let players move faster than they should have been allowed to
Fixed misc issues with Party System:
Mana and Stamina should now update for Party Members when added to the party, when going in/out of range and when their stats update while in range
Players who get disconnected or relog should now find themselves back in the same party they were in previously
Added system messages to inform party members about updates to their party, and to let invited players know they've successfully joined a party (or rejoined, if relogging)
World saves now operate on the principle of only saving changes done since the last world save. Combined with the fact that NPCs in UOX3 are only active if there are players in the same/neighbouring map regions, shard owners may expect to see a decrease in world save times ranging from ~11% to ~99%, depending on how active and how spread out their player base is. If no changes have taken place since last save, saves are virtually instantaneous!
Extended Character JS Method DoAction() to support two additional parameters - frameCount and playBackwards - which define the length of the animation (defaults to 7) and whether the animation should be played backwards (defaults to false). Note that this only works for old-style animations, and thus is not available for Gargoyle characters. Updated method syntax:
.DoAction( actionID ) // Old animation packet
.DoAction( actionID, null, frameCount) // Old animation packet with frameCount
.DoAction( actionID, null, frameCount, frameDelay ) // Old animation packet with frameCount, frameDelay
.DoAction( actionID, null, frameCount, frameDelay, playBackwards) // Old animation packet with frameCount, frameDelay, playBackwards
.DoAction( actionID, subActionID ) // New animation packet
Extended fishing JS script to include:
Fishing special fishing nets, big fish, messages in a bottle/SOS messages and associated shipwreck treasures, with chances of attracting sea serpents, deep sea serpents, water elementals and krakens while fishing.
Enhanced detection of fishing in shallow vs deep water, with deep water now being defined as any water tile that's 16 or more tiles away from the nearest land area.
Updated timer system, LoS checks,
Implemented SOS messages and shipwreck locations, with areas valid for potential shipwreck locations being defined in a new section of regions.dfn named [SOSAREAS], which follows the same syntax as the INSTALOG section in the same file. Once a message in a bottle is opened, a SOS message is generated with coordinates for a random shipwreck location, which players can sail to and fish near in order to find a sunken treasure (and other items).
Implemented shipwreck treasures, which come in 3 levels of quality (with an optional 4th quality level available), with increasing amount of gold, gems, scrolls, reagents and magic items (coming in next commit!) per quality level of treasure
Implemented special fishing nets, which can be used to fish up a variety of sea creatures (sea serpents, deep sea serpents, water elementals, kraken), which have a high chance of having SOS bottles on their corpses when defeated
Updated fishinglist.dfn, itemlist.dfn and lootlist.dfn to support new fishing updates
Updated movable state of various items that can be fished up (pillows, some pieces of furniture) to ensure players can move them!
Renamed ORERESPAWNAREA ini setting to RESOURCEAREASIZE (it's also used for ore, and logs) and reduced it from 10 to 8 to divide each world into 8x8 sized resource areas
Fixed a bug where the new fish resource type was not getting regenerated or saved properly
Added INSTANCEID support to INSTALOG section of regions.dfn, and added default WORLD and INSTANCEID entries to all areas
Fixed an issue with Runebooks (js/item/runebook.js) where the coordinates of a rune location would not be displayed properly
Separated map coordinate function from Runebook script to its own script (js/server/data/map_coordinates.js), which other scripts can call upon to get map coords using TriggerEvent() JS function
Ported sextant implementation from code to JS (5033=js/item/sextant.js), and removed the hard-coded version of this.
Updated Item DFN entry for sextants to include script=5033 tag
Fixed a bug in handling of the LOOT tag for NPCs where server would crash if a number was specified behind the item/itemlist to add as loot
The DFN tags PACKITEM and LOOT are now handled similarly when used for NPCs and Items respectively. PACKITEM can be used for adding items with specific IDs, or "list objects" from itemlists.dfn, while LOOT can be used to add items from lootlists.dfn. One big difference between these is that if the optional amount parameter is specified for either tag when used with itemlists/lootlists (PACKITEM=listObject,amount vs LOOT=lootlist,amount), PACKITEM will add the specified amount of the specified/randomly chosen item, while LOOT will add X amount of random items.
Updated implementation of ITEMLISTs and LOOTLISTs to support an optional weighting system, which can be used to adjust the probability of some items being chosen from these lists over other items. In the below example, specialfishingnet has a weight of 10, while the blank entry has a weight of 90, making it 9 times more likely for the blank entry to be chosen than the specialfishingnet! Note that higher weighted items should be sorted first for this to be accurate:
[LOOTLIST shipwreck_treasure_special]
{
90|blank
10|specialfishingnet
}
Using bladed weapons on stacks of fish will now cut the entire stack at once, instead of one fish at a time
Updated DFN entries for various sea creatures (dfndata/npc/seacreatures.dfn) to adjust color of NPCs, loot and NPC AI
Extended functionality of JS Function DoMovingEffect() to allow a set of coordinates as source location, without having to specify a character as either the source or target of the effect
Fixed an issue with sea creatures being unable to pathfind in shallow water due to underwater land tiles being treated as blocking
Moved fishing skill out of code and into js for more user friendly control
Added js/item/magicfish.js for the magic fish food
Fixed a bug where players logging out in locations other than "INSTALOG" areas from regions.dfn (Inns, basically) and other than the player's own house, were still able to logout and vanish instantly. Logout timer was not being set correctly
Players who are flagged as criminals or who are at war with someone else are now unable to logout instantly even in "INSTALOG" areas, and will remain visible to other players for the full duration specified in the LOGINTIMEOUT setting in UOX.INI
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

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
drop // The hireling will drop to the ground all loot they're currently carrying
report // The hireling will report on the remaining time they're hired for
Added new NPC DFN tag used by code to detect hireling NPCs for the purpose of displaying context menus:
HIRELING // No additional value/data needed for tag
Added new context menu entries for Hireling NPCs, in addition to the ones for regular pets:
Hire // Can be used within 3 steps of the hireling, who will respond with cost to hire them
Dismiss // Replaces the "release" command for pets, will dismiss the hireling
Added HIRELING tag and SCRIPT=3204 to and updated stats of various NPCs that will be hireable:
m_fighter, f_fighter, m_beggar, f_beggar, m_peasant, f_peasant, m_sailor, f_sailor, m_pirate, f_pirate
Added new hireling NPC:

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
Updated Character JS Method .Follow() to allow optional null parameter to clear follow target for an NPC
Added new Character JS Method .Dupe(), exposing code functionality to duplicate a character and returning the new character object to scripts. Example:
var newChar = myChar.Dupe()
Updated GM command 'dupe to work with characters as well as items
The colour of blood effects for characters and creatures hit in combat can be defined in dfndata/race/races.dfn using the BLOODCOLOUR tag and a colour ID. If the value 0xffff is provided, the colour of the blood will be inherited from the character's colour, if any
Moved splitting of NPCs in combat from hard code to JS (js/npc/ai/splitting_npcs.js). It relies on the onAttack JS event to trigger, but otherwise works identical to the previous hard-coded variant. The script has been assigned a default script ID of 3203
Added SCRIPT=3203 tag to [slime]/[jwilson] NPCs (dfndata/npc/miscmonsters.dfn)
Added new race for slime-related creatures (RACE 24 in dfndata/race/races.dfn), with a BLOODCOLOUR tag set to 0xffff to let blood effects inherit the colour of each individual slime
Updated RACE tag for [slime]/[jwilson] NPCs to use the new slime-race (dfndata/npc/miscmonsters.dfn)
Fixed an issue where UOX3 would attempt to update health bar of training dummies not marked as damageable (js/item/trainingdummy.js)
Added packet-hook script (js/server/network/0x7f_uogatewayServerPoll.js) to handle responses to server polling by shard lists like UOGateway, ShardPortal, etc.
Removed old and outdated UOG response code from network.cpp, along with UOXMONITOR response (an old tool no longer found in the wild)
Extended packet overloading to include packets received on first connection, to allow custom responses to things like UOG server poll and other early incoming packets
Adjusted code that spawns blood effects when taking damage to only happen for damage values higher than 1% of max health, or 1 (whichever is higher)
Adjusted code that prevents stamina regen from taking place if a character is thirsty to allow generating up to 25% of max stamina, to prevent characters from being unable to move due to thirst!
Thirst system is now disabled by default, but can be enabled by setting the THIRSTRATE value in uox.ini to a value higher than zero. The value indicates the number of seconds between each time a character grows more thirsty. For hunger, this is set to 6000 seconds (100 min) by default.
Responses to UOG/CUO server poll requests are now enabled in uox.ini by default
Added cEffects::SpawnBloodEffect( UI08 worldNum, UI16 instanceID, UI16 bloodColour, BloodTypes bloodType ), which can be called upon to create blood splatter effects for things like death, bleeding, combat hits, etc.
Added random blood effects that spawn when a character dies, and decays according to new ini setting
Added new UOX.INI settings under [timers] to define how long blood effects take to decay:
BLOODDECAYTIMER=3 // Smaller blood effects spawned during combat, defaults to 3 seconds
BLOODDECAYCORPSETIMER=450 // Larger blood effects spawned upon death, defaults to half the duration of the default corpse decay timer
Fixed an issue with Forensic Evaluation skill (js/skills/forensics.js) not giving correct info on age of a corpse, because it incorrectly tried to check a .tempTime property instead of .tempTimer
Changed default value of MSGREDISPLAYTIME in [tracking] section of UOX.INI from 30 to 3, so tracking arrow will actually follow the target when it moves (every 3 seconds)
Fixed an issue with the Tracking skill where attempting to left-click on the tracking arrow would cause client to freeze up
Fixed an issue with the Tracking skill where right-clicking tracking arrow to dismiss it would not always work, especially if target had been killed/deleted
Fixed an issue with the Tracking skill where the tracking arrow would not be automatically dismissed if the tracked target was killed/deleted
Fixed an issue that prevented clients in 6.0.5 - 6.0.14.1 range from connecting even though CLIENTSUPPORT6050 was enabled in ini
Fixed an issue where client 6.0.14.2 was being mis-classified as a T2A client, and not the first of the SA clients as it should be
Changed how Race damage modifier is applied to damage dealt in combat - it's now a direct percentage bonus (or penalty) applied to the base damage dealt
Added in missing default [COMBAT MODS] section to dfndata/race/races.dfn. Each MOD# entry in this section represents a percentage modifier applied to skill checks for members of a race that subscribes to that MOD entry via skill tags like [SKILLNAME]G=# (bonus) or [SKILLNAME]L=# (penalty). These modifiers are also applied to base damage in combat, before other damage modifiers.
Example1: SWORDSMANSHIPG=3 would apply a 20% bonus to swordsmanship skill checks for race the tag was added to, as well as a 20% bonus to base damage dealt in combat
Example2: MACEFIGHTINGL=3 would apply a 20% penalty to macefighting skill checks for race the tag was added to, as well as a 20% penalty to base damage dealt in combat
Updated decorate command to support two additional object categories - containers and spawners - and the properties needed by these to function
Fixed an issue with appending folder names to paths in File JS Method .Open() and JS File Function DeleteFile()
Renamed default UOX3 server name (was too long) to My UOX3 Shard
Rewrote server IP handling (new files: IP4Address.hpp/cpp) and did away with the need for the [play server list] section and SERVERLIST entries in uox.ini. UOX3 now automatically accepts and responds to connections on both local and LAN IPs, as well as an optional external/WAN ip defined in uox.ini tag EXTERNALIP, with server name defined by the existing SERVERNAME tag in the ini (punt)

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 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 an issue where characters in different world instances could shove each-other when moving
Fixed server crash related to using incorrect argument for REGSPAWN command
Fixed an issue where characters would not get world changes updated properly in some older (5.x) client versions
UOX3 will now attempt to resist being closed if a world-save is in progress, to avoid corruption of worldfile data
Added TryParseJSVal() helper function in cScript.cpp, used to parse jsval values returned from script events. Provides results matching 0 (0, false), 1 (1, true) or any specific int value returned from script.
JS events updated to use new TryParseJSVal helper function (no change in behaviour):
onDecay, onResurrect, onCommand, onBuyFromVendor, onSellToVendor, onPickup, onCharDoubleClick, onSkillGump, onUseBandageMacro, onCombatStart, onCombatEnd, onDeathBlow, onBuy, onSell
JS events with slight change of behaviour after update to use TryParseJSVal:
onDrop, onDropItemOnItem, onDropItemOnNpc - previously, a blank or non-existent return value would be treated the same as a return true. This will now be treated as a return false. Update scripts accordingly!
JS events updated to support return values from scripts:
onCollide, onTalk, onSnooped, OnHungerChange
Return false or nothing to prevent hard code from running
Return true to allow hard code to run like normal
onStolenFrom, onAISliver, onLightChange, onVirtueGumpPress, onQuestGump, onSpecialMove, onSwing, onClick, onHouseCommand, onSellToVendor, onSkillCheck, onSpellGain, onSpellLoss
Return false to allow hard code and other scripts with event to run like normal
Return true to prevent hard code and other scripts with event from running
onSteal
Return false or nothing to allow hard code and other scripts with event to run like normal
Return true to prevent hard code and onStolenFrom event from running (theft failed?)
Return 2 to prevent hard code, but allow onStolenFrom event to run (theft succeeded, but handled in script?)
onLeaving, onEntrance, onEquip, onUnequip, onEnterEvadeState, onSoldToVendor, onBoughtFromVendor, onSpellSuccess, onSpellTarget, onFlagChange, onDeath
Return false or nothing to allow other scripts with event to run like normal
Return true to prevent other scripts with event from running
Added new JS events that run prior to items being equipped/unequipped, with support for return values:
onEquipAttempt( pEquipper, iEquipping )
onUnequipAttempt( pEquipper, iUnequipping )
Return false or nothing to reject attempt to equip/unequip item, and prevent hard-code or other scripts with event from running
Return true to allow hard code to run like normal
Added new JS event that runs prior to onSnooped event, for character doing the snooping:
onSnoopAttempt( snooped, snooper )
Return false or nothing to prevent hard code and other snooping-related events from running
Return true to allow hard code and other snooping-related events to run like normal
Updated onSnooped JS event to accept return values:
Return true when success state is true to prevent other scripts with event from running
Return true when success state is false to prevent hard code and other scripts with event from running
Updated onClick JS event to also run for characters with event attached (return 1 to prevent showing hard-coded name for whatever object is clicked)
Updated onSteal JS event to include a third parameter, an object reference for the target of the theft
Added support for assigning multiple JS scripts per object (item, multi, char, region).
Any time a scriptID is added to an object, the list of such IDs for that object will be sorted from lowest to highest scriptID, which also determines the execution order for the scripts. Note that if the same JS event is present in several scripts assigned to an object, each of those events will trigger, unless the rules about return values for said event prevent this
DFNs for Items, Multis, Characters and Regions can now contain multiple SCRIPT=scriptID tags per definition. Each such SCRIPT tag will be applied to the object in question, then sorted from lowest to highest scriptID by server.
Added new JS property for Items, Multis, Characters and Regions:
.scriptTriggers // If used to get property, will return array object with all script IDs assigned to object. If used to set property, will add script ID to existing list of script IDs for object.
Modified JS property for Items, Multis, Characters and Regions, which for backwards compatibility functions similar to in older versions:
.scripttrigger // If used to get property, will return last script ID in list of script IDs assigned to object. If used to set property, will clear list of script IDs and assign only the new ID
Added new JS Methods for Items, Multis, Characters and Regions:
.AddScriptTrigger( scriptID ) // Adds a new scriptID to list of scripts assigned to object
.RemoveScriptTrigger( scriptID ) // Remove a specific scriptID from object (0 = remove all)
Moved SETSCPTRIG command from code to JS (js/commands/targeting/scptrig.js), and supplemented it with some additional commands:
GETSCPTRIG // List out all scriptIDs assigned to object
SETSCPTRIG scriptID // Clears list of scriptIDs for object, then assigns the specified scriptID
ADDSCPTRIG scriptID // Adds specified scriptID to list of scriptsIDs assigned to object
REMOVESCPTRIG scriptID // Removes specified scriptID from list of scriptIDs assigned to object (0 = remove all)
Fixed some missing icons in dfndata/creatures/creatures.dfn
Updated server status HTML template page (dfndata/html/online.htf) to match other templates
Additional string handling modernization in magic.cpp, JSEncapsulate.cpp, jail.cpp, house.cpp, fileio.cpp, network.cpp, msgboard.cpp and mapstuff.cpp (punt)
Co-Authored-By: Charles Kerr <punt1959@users.noreply.github.com>
Option to define how much memory JS engine should be allowed to allocate before last-ditch GC kicks in has been moved from engine.dat to a new UOX.INI setting under [server]. Note that too low values can lead to server instability, especially if doing a lot of JS engine reloads, so default value has been increased from 16 to 256 MB per JS Runtime:
JSENGINESIZE=256 // gcMaxBytes limit in MB per JS Runtime. Must be between 16 and 4095
Reduced stackchunksize value provided for JS_NewContext from 0x500000 to the recommended default of 8192
Updated how players are paid for completing NPC escort quests; instead of hard-coded random amount between 0-600 gold, the reward is now based partly on the NPC escort's fame, and partly on the amount of gold the NPC is carrying. The formula for quest rewards thus look like this: rewardAmount = (( totalFame / 100 ) * 50 ) + ( totalGold * 0.25 )
Fixed healthbars of nearby characters not showing correctly for players who have just logged in. Cause seems to have been UOX3 reading more bytes from network buffer than required when (not) handling packets 0xB5 and 0xFB. Added basic handling of these packets to avoid that problem.
Fixed an issue where UOX3 would send full status updates (packet 0x11) for each character on the screen, rather than just sending the minimum required for each character. Client doesn't need to know the weight of an NPC, or how much gold an opponent player is carrying!
Fixed an issue with tooltips for characters and/or items not always appearing, caused by UOX3 not responding correctly to certain tooltip requests (packet 0xD6)
Added support for packet 0xE2 (New Character Animation, used to play animations in client v7.0.0.0+) via cEffects::PlayNewCharacterAnimation( CChar *mChar, UI16 actionID, UI16 subActionID, UI08 subSubActionID )
Added support for new animation packet in JS Character method DoAction() using a second parameter that specifies animation variation, which if present forces server to send new animation packet instead of old. This means the 'action/npcaction commands can now be used to play animations on gargoyles/humans in client v7.0.0.0+ using the following syntax: 'action [action subAction]
Created new enums for character actions and sub-actions, and updated code to refer to these instead of using "magic" numbers
Added new options in UOX.INI under [settings] section:
FORCENEWANIMATIONPACKET=0/1 // If enabled (default), forces the use of the new animation packet for playing various character animations for both NPCs in general and for player characters connected with client v7.0.0.0+
Updated various actions performed by players and NPCs to use new animation packet (combat, spellcasting, mining) if connected with client v7.0.0.0+ and ini setting to force new animation packet is enabled
Added basic support for gargoyle flying ability. Can now use flying ability itself to enter/exit flying state, and the state change will also get sent to nearby players. Flying players are treated the same way as mounted players; polymorph spells will auto-dismounts mounted/flying player, same rules for stealth applies to flying as riding, etc.
Exposed Character property to JS engine:
.isFlying // returns true if character is flying
Moved Orc and Ratman races from RACE 1 and 2 to RACE 22 and 23 in dfndata/race/races.dfn to make room for two new player races, that are applied to new player characters during character creation:
[RACE 1] - Elf
[RACE 2] - Gargoyle
Updated orcs and ratmen in dfndata/npc/humanoids.dfn with race IDs 22 and 23 respectively
Added items in dfndata/items/skills/tools/cooking.dfn to item menu under Skills > Tools > Cooking
Fixed an issue where moving items around within a container at max item capacity was not allowed
The GM command 'set can now modify a character's current mana using 'set mana #
Added JS command to get specific object property values (using same property names as 'set command):
'get [objectProperty]
Exposed Item/Character properties to JS:
.oldX // Previous X coordinate for object
.oldY // Previous Y coordinate for object
.oldZ // Previous Z coordinate for object
Exposed Character properties to JS:
.mana // Character's current amount of mana
Updated version of Winsock requested by UOX3 from 2.0 to 2.2
Exposed timer for updating NPC flags to [timers] section of UOX.INI:
NPCFLAGUPDATETIMER=5 // Interval in seconds between each time NPC flags are updated. Default adjusted down from 30 to 5 seconds
Fixed an issue where UOX3 was trying to output some debug/warning messages to console using the wrong console method
Made some small tweaks to NPC pathfinding to make NPCs more likely to pick a new target location when their old one is blocked
Added HP DFN tag to guard NPCs to prevent them from spawning with half health
Removed -lstdc++fs from Makefile and replaced with special instructions for users of gcc below v9.x
Fixed a buffer overrun issue with tiledata item names
Eliminated a bunch of compilation warnings in VS2017
Updated JS Method CreateDFNItem to allow creating items without referencing a socket/character. Syntax:
var myItem = CreateDFNItem( null, null, itemSectionID, amount, "ITEM", false, worldNumber, instanceID );
Added functional chessboard that operates on standard chess rules. Pieces cannot be removed from the board, snap to the chessboard grid when dropped, are subject to movement restrictions per chesspiece, will capture opponent pieces if landing on their square. Board can be reset by dragging king-piece off to the side of the board (js/item/gameboards.js and js/item/chesspiece.js)
Added functional checkerboard, with pieces that cannot be removed, can only move in diagonals, can jump across opponent pieces to capture them. Board can be reset by ??? (js/item/gameboards.js and js/item/checkerpiece.js)
Using the 'go command without any additional parameters will now open the GM travel menu (js/commands/go.js)
