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
Fixed an issue with an internal movement check that prevented characters from moving in valid map areas in Felucca/Trammel from X 6144 to X 7168
Fixed an issue where .instanceID property was misspelled in 'xgo GM command script, causing characters to be teleported to an out of bounds area where they would no longer be saved (js/commands/targeting/x.js)
Added some additional error-checking to .Teleport()/.SetLocation() JS Method to prevent script-accidents from sending characters out of bounds.
Updated Poisoning skill to add poison-charges to weapons being poisoned. Charges are consumed when applying poison in combat (js/skill/poisoning.js)
Updated combat code to consume poison-charges if a poisoned weapon is used to poison an opponent
Updated shoplists for Blacksmiths and Weaponsmiths - they now buy/sell longswords (dfndata/items/shoplist.dfn)
Updated MageShopping shoplist for mage vendors - they now buy/sell mass curse scrolls (dfndata/items/shoplist.dfn)
Added new Spawn Region DFN tag that can specify which era or eras of UO (Multiple comma-separated entries supported) a given spawn region is valid for. Spawn region not valid for core shard era will be ignored. Syntax:
ERAS=UO,T2A,UOR,LBR,AOS,SE,ML,SA,HS,TOL
Added new Spawn Region DFN tag that allows using another spawn region as a "parent". All properties of this parent will be inherited except for these, which are ignored: ERAS, NPCLIST, ITEMLIST, NPC and ITEM. Syntax for new tag:
GET=# // Inherit a specified spawn region
Added spawn region for animal trainer vendor in Vesper stable
Added spawn region for fur trader/tanner vendors in The Best Hides of Britain

Added spawn regions for wandering healers outside every dungeon entrance in Britannia and Lost Lands
Re-integrated ocean spawn regions for ocean creatures (dolphin, walrus, water elemental, sea serpent) from the original community-based spawn file
Added reagent spawns in overworld spawn regions in Britannia/Lost Lands
Added special reagent spawns in swamp areas
Added additional overworld spawn regions in Britannia/Lost Lands
Added spawn regions for Khaldun dungeon that spawn some new and some old NPCs:
Old: Zombies, skeletons, skeletal mages, skeletal knights, ancient liches
New: Cursed (and named) NPCs, shadowfiends, zealots of khaldun (knights/summoners), tentacles of the harrower

Added custom AIs to existing NPC spawning in Khaldun dungeon:
Ancient Lich (summons other undead, and can turn into one of them for disguise)

Added new book DFN entries for Khaldun journals of Lysander, Tavara and Grimmoch - available as loot from the respective NPCs (dfndata/misc/books.dfn and dfndata/items/misc/books.dfn)
Added 25% chance for hit-animations and hit-SFX to play for targets in combat, instead of playing every time - can get very spammy
Monsters with actual weapons equipped (like Ophidian Enforcer with Halberd/Bardiche) will now get appropriate combat SFX for hitting with that weapon
Updated Healing skill to base cure/resurrection skill requirements on the calculated skill, rather than base skill (js/skill/healing.js)
Fixed an issue where healing with bandages and dying in the process would not properly reset the healing-related tags and skills used
Updated healing script to show a resurrection confirmation menu for players targeted with bandages for resurrect (js/skill/healing.js)
All skill usage states now reset on death, to prevent cases of players being "busy" while trying to use skills that got stuck due to script bugs.
The 'regspawn GM command now supports a new parameter called "max". Updated command syntax:
'regspawn # // perform a single respawn cycle in a specific spawn region
'regspawn all // perform a single respawn cycle across all spawn regions
'regspawn max // respawn ALL spawn regions to MAX capacity in one go
Added new UOX.INI setting that determines the maximum range at which NPCs can initiate attacks on players/NPCs (the old MAXRANGE=10 setting now instead defines max range at which players can initiate attacks on players/NPCs):
MAXNPCAGGRORANGE=10
Optimized performance by significantly reducing the number of line-of-sight checks performed by characters, especially in combat scenarios, or when evaluating potential targets for NPC AIs. The amount of checks done is also affected by the new ini setting for max aggro range.
Fixed an issue where both NPC and player characters would instantly drop one hunger level (from 6 to 5) upon creation since hungerrate was not initialized until after first hunger-event
Updated character priv property from UI16 to UI32, and added a new flag that determines if fame/karma title is hidden for character:
HIDEFAMEKARMATITLE (0x10000)
NPCs will no longer aggro other NPCs if the Z difference between them is greater or equal to 20 (i.e. they're on different floors), unless both are using ranged weapons and both are in range
Fixed an issue where players could get discounts from shopkeepers even though neither player nor shopkeeper were members of a NPC guild (js/npc/ai/shopkeeper.js)
Fixed an issue where the "premium" a player would get when selling items to a shopkeeper in the same NPC guild as them would be 110% extra on top of the item's value, instead of the intended 10% (js/npc/ai/shopkeeper.js) (Thanks, cobrag0318!)
Added missing tall straw hat to tailoring crafting scripts (Thanks, Dragon Slayer!)
Improved error reporting during compilation of individual scripts being reloaded - will now show more context and line number
onCombatEnd JS Event now also triggers when NPCs ignore their target and/or evade during combat
Updated 'decorate command to support saving/loading custom tags on items for world templates. These are stored after a @ symbol in the world template, each custom tag separated by a | symbol, and with each custom tag saved using this syntax: key$type$value
Updated resource-harvesting scripts to use script-specific global (const) variables, to avoid interference between different scripts (js/server/resource/*)
Added new resource-harvesting scripts and added spawn regions for these in fields on farms all over Britannia/Lost Lands
cabbages (js/server/resource/cabbages.js)
canteloupes (js/server/resource/canteloupes.js)
carrots (js/server/resource/carrots.js)
garlic (js/server/resource/garlic.js)
gourds (js/server/resource/gourds.js)
honeydew melons (js/server/resource/honeydewmelon.js)
onions (js/server/resource/onions.js)
pumpkins (js/server/resource/pumpkins.js)
squashes (js/server/resource/squashes.js)
turnips (js/server/resource/turnips.js)
watermelons (js/server/resource/watermelon.js)
Updated CSpawnRegion::FindItemSpotToSpawn() function in cSpawnRegion.cpp to prevent duplicate spawning of exact same item in exact same location
Updated sectionid of all potion and scroll aliases to match main item, so they'll get correctly picked up by NPC shopkeepers (dfndata/items/magic/potions.dfn and scrolls.dfn)
Specified sectionid for backpacks, so it also gets applied to packs added using the alias [backpack] (dfndata/items/misc/provisions.dfn)
Fixed a code issue that prevented players from selling empty containers to NPC shopkeepers willing to buy such containers
Fixed an issue where field-spells (wall of stone, poison field, etc) would ignore dynamic/static items that should block these
Fixed an issue where field-spells could be cast into houses from the outside by standing next to a wall and targeting self
Fixed a War/Peace-mode desync between client and server by having server always notify client (using war-toggle packet) when the "at war" flag is toggled for player character
Fixed an issue with hiding skill that wouldn't allow player to hide after having acquired self as target in combat (through spellcasting, for instance) (Thanks, Dragon Slayer!)
Fixed an issue where mana/reagents were consumed and skillcheck performed before all spellcast-validations had succeeded, resulting in the occasional loss of reagents/mana when spellcasting was disallowed (code and js/magic/clumsy.js and level1targ.js)
Fixed an issue with lack of criminal-flagging for casting of hostile spells scripted in JS (clumsy, magic arrow, feeblemind) vs blue targets (js/magic/clumsy.js and level1targ.js)
Fixed some issues with Line-of-Sight checking code that returned incorrect results, which amongst other things affected spellcasting in areas with uneven terrain
Fixed some issues with movement code and climbing of ladders, in particular the rope ladder in the 2-story log cabin. Code now sets a "is climbing" flag when character steps onto a rope ladder, and uses that to help resolve some edge cases, and then unsets it when they step off.
Renamed section headers of some map-items in DFNs from "locationname" to "locationnamemap" for clarity (example: "britain" to "britainmap")
Fixed broken "map wrapping" when sailing to edges of map in Felucca or Trammel
Fixed a server crash related to attempts at reading data from invalid map tiles
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
Fixed some issues that prevented NPCLISTS containing other NPCLISTS and/or weighted NPCLISTS from working correctly
Updated spawn regions and NPCLISTS used for Yew/Cove orc forts to provide a better mix of weak/strong orcs, and fewer ettins
Fixed an issue where Yew/Skara brigand camp used a duplicate spawnregion ID, causing no NPCs to spawn
Added humanoids_t2a.dfn, with T2A-specific definitions for orcs, ratmen and lizardmen, with some stat adjustments
Updated NPC definitions for orcs, ratmen and lizardmen with placeholder GET tags for different eras, pointing to nearest available era definition
Updated NPC definitions for [kappa], [yomotsuelder], [yomotsupriest] and [yomotsuwarrior] with placeholder GET tags for different eras, all pointing to SE definition for now
Updated NPC definitions for [yamadon], [rajiu], [bakekitsune] with placeholder GET tags for different eras, all pointing to SE definition for now
Updated code calculating passive health, stamina and mana regeneration for characters, based on new UOX.INI settings and bonuses from characters/items/races
Added three new Character/Item/Race DFN tags to grant bonus health/stamina/mana regeneration:
HEALTHREGENBONUS=# // 10 bonus points equates to 0.01 extra hp regen per second, independent of era
STAMINAREGENBONUS=# // 10 bonus points equates to 0.05 extra stamina regen per second
MANAREGENBONUS=# // 10 bonus point equates to 0.1 extra mana regen per second
...also available as JS Properties:
.healthRegenBonus
.staminaRegenBonus

Updated get/set JS commands to allow getting/setting regen bonuses for health, stamina and mana
Updated races.dfn to include default +2 health regen bonus for humans, and +2 mana regen bonus for gargoyles.
Added new UOX.INI settings under [Skills and Stats] section:
HEALTHREGENMODE=1 // 0 = no passive health regen, 1 = default passive health regen
STAMINAREGENMODE=1 // 0 = no passive stamina regen, 1 = default passive stamina regen (LBR or below), 2 = AoS or beyond, 3 = SA and beyond
MANAREGENMODE=1 // 0 = no passive mana regen, 1 = default passive mana regen (LBR or below), 2 = AoS (Pub17), 3 = AoS/SE (Pub18 and beyond), 4 = ML, 5 = KR, 6 = SA and beyond
HEALTHREGENCAP=# // Max cap for Health Regeneration Bonus stat per character
STAMINAREGENCAP=# // Max cap for Stamina Regeneration Bonus stat per character
MANAREGENCAP=# // Max cap for Mana Regeneration Bonus stat per character
Added new UOX.INI section ([default race bonuses]) with the following new settings for the 3 default playable races (only used if nothing else specified in races.dfn):

Updated UOX3 Documentation with new feature section on Stat Regeneration with details on stat regeneration rules and recommended settings per UO era
Added support for Medable armors (have no effect on meditation skill and/or passive regen of mana when worn) and Mage Armors (can turn non-medable armor into medable armor)
These properties are defined per armor piece using the first and second bits of the MORE property:
MORE=0x1 0x0 0x0 0x0 // Medable Armor
MORE=0x0 0x1 0x0 0x0 // Mage Armor
The following armor types have been marked as medable by default:
leather armor, leather ninja armor, leather samurai armor, leaf armor, gargish cloth armor, gargish leather armor and all hats and masks
Updated JS Method .Defense() to support optional fourth and fifth parameters - excludeMedableArmor (true/false) and includeShield (true/false)
Updated CalfDef function to support including shields in the calculations, and updated mana regen code to include shields when checking for equipped armor
Updated Meditation skill JS script to exclude medable armor from armor check, include shields, and apply different rules for active meditation depending on mana regen mode
Updated stat window to include defensive rating of shields (based on Parrying skill) and/or elemental resistances (if enabled in ini)
Added a new property to CRace class, which is automatically set and incremented as UOX3 loads in races from races.dfn: raceID
Added new Getters/Setters for CRace class to retrieve ID of a specific Race object
Updated JS property .id for Race JS Object to return new race ID instead of iterating through list of races to compare race object and return index
Reloading DFNs now also reloads Races
Regen function/property names updated to be more in line with existing naming conventions
Fixed an issue where health regen setting would be loaded for both health, stamina and mana when parsing uox.ini
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:

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

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"

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

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)
Added new protected property for CChar class to track a player's currently controlled pets/followers/summons, and renamed the on tracking all pets owned:
GenericList<CChar *> activeFollowers
GenericList<CChar *> petsControlled -> petsOwned
Added new JS Character Methods to view/manipulate follower list:
GetFollowerList()
AddFollower( npcObject )
RemoveFollower( npcObject )
Added new JS Character Property to fetch current count of followers character has:
.followerCount
Added new GM commands for spitting out information on all pets/followers a player has, in the following format: Name: %s | ID: %i | Serial: %i | x: %i | y: %i | z: %i | world: %i | instanceID: %i
'listpets
'listfollowers
Replaced most instances of GetPetList in code and scripts with GetFollowerList, as that's what we actually care about for the most part
Updated code and relevant scripts to make use of AddFollower and RemoveFollower functions where appropriate
Modified code for restoring pet loyalty upon feeding pet; by default it now restores 10/100 loyalty per time pet is fed, while if CoreShardEra setting in UOX.INI is set to AoS expansion or higher, loyalty is instantly restored to max when pet is fed (regardless of amount)
Updated AreaCharacterFunction and AreaItemFunction JS Functions to still work if third parameter (socket) is provided as null
Modified code and relevant scripts that teleport pets/followers along with player to only do so for pets/followers using the "follow" wandermode with player as follow target
Updated some instances of code and script that checked for both controlSlot AND maxFollowers requirements - now only checks maxFollowers if controlSlots is set to 0 in ini
Added function _restorecontext_() {} to a couple more scripts:
js/commands/targeting/tele.js
Updated error message shown when attempts are made to add deleted objects to refreshQueue, to include name, ID and serial of the object in question
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
Extended GetSpawnRegion JS Function to fetch spawn region reference based on a set of coordinates. Supported syntax are now:
GetSpawnRegion( spawnRegionID )
GetSpawnRegion( x, y, worldNum, instanceID )
Added new DFN tags for Items and NPC:
SECTIONID // Override which [sectionID] is stored for an object
ORIGIN // Store reference to which expansion/era of UO an item/NPC originated in
Added new Item/Character JS property:
.origin // Get reference to expansion/era of UO an item/NPC originated in
Fixed an issue with IsInBuilding JS Function which could only handled a limited subset of instance ID values
Corrected name of tag used to attach scripts to ore types - from SCRIPTID to SCRIPT
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
Added some missing DFN data for svvages
Added missing spell scrolls to the MageShopping shoplist
Added new property for Items and NPCs loaded from DFNs (also available as a JS object property):
sectionID // Keeps track of the [sectionID] an item or NPC originated from
Added support for getting/setting new sectionID property via 'get and 'set commands
Exposed Character properties to JS engine:
.fleeAt // Percentage health threshold for NPC fleeing in combat
.reAttackAt // Percentage health threshold for NPC re-attacking in combat if fleeing
Included missing code for HasScriptTrigger JS function
Added new character timer (also available in JS engine) for time between each time a character plays an idle animation
Fixed an issue where player backpacks did not have a max weight set, which could cause issues for scripts that relied on checking max weight of backpack to work
Added new UOX.INI settings to let shard admins control the maximum weight that player backpacks and bankboxes can hold:
MAXPLAYERPACKWEIGHT=40000 // 400.00 stones by default
MAXPLAYERBANKWEIGHT=160000 // 1600.00 stones by default
Fixed an issue where spells setup in JS did not correctly consume reagents when cast (thanks Azzerhoden Razeri!)
Fixed a bug where casting spells would sometimes leave the player in a "frozen" state client-side
Fixed a bug where RECALL=1 was missing from town of Vesper in regions.dfn
Fixed an issue where runebooks did not keep correct count of runes added/dropped (Azzerhoden Razeri, Dragon Slayer
Fixed an issue where the runebook script would crash because of a misspelled object variable (Azzerhoden Razeri)
Added new Item/Character DFN tags that provide defensive bonuses on top of existing DEF/ELEMENTALRESIST values:
DEFBONUS=minVal [maxVal] // Def/Physical resistance bonus (maxVal optional)
ERBONUS=heat cold energy poison // Elemental resistance bonus
Crafted armor made from coloured ingots now provide additional defensive bonuses based on color of ingots (for AoS/ToL variant of items)
Added item definitions for Pub15, AoS and ToL variants of all armors and weapons. Stats for items added to a specific era that normally only exist in another have had their stats scaled to match the era they were added to. Example: Pub15 and AoS variants has been added for "Dragon Turtle Hide Arms" from ToL expansion, but the stats have been scaled to match other armors from the Pub15 and AoS eras respectively.
Added new INI settings:
SHOWRACEWITHNAME=1 // If enabled, shows a character's race along with their name. Defaults to 1

SHOWREPUTATIONTITLEINTOOLTIP=1/0 // If enabled, shows player's reputation title in tooltip. Defaults to 1
SHOWGUILDINFOINTOOLTIP=1/0 // If enabled, shows player's guild info in tooltip. Defaults to 1
Renamed 0xf1_connectUOServerPoll.js to 0xf1_freeshardServerPoll.js, and updated script to respond to the "standard" freeshard server poll request rather than the more specific (and now dead) ConnectUO one.
Renamed INI setting CUOENABLED to FREESHARDSERVERPOLL
Renamed INI setting CUOENABLED to FREESHARDSERVERPOLL
Added new INI settings under [expansion settings] section to help shard admins customize some key behaviours of their shard, based on their preferred "era" of UO. Note that a value of "core" means the setting inherits the chosen era from the CORESHARDERA setting:
CORESHARDERA=pub15

Increased world save speed by almost 50% through the use of binary mode and buffer tweaks for ofstream combined with a cached newline char and std::to_string instead of static_cast
Fixed a server crash involving killing NPCs of a specific spawn region using the 'spawnkill # command
Fixed a server crash involving moving items from decaying corpses to the ground
Fixed a server crash involving carving up human corpses
Fixed a server crash related to AreaCharacterFunction JS function, which could trigger for any script that potentially kills any NPC this function iterates over (like explosion potions)
Fixed a server crash related to GMs attempting to add items from add-menu while having no backpack
Fixed a client crash issue caused by attempting to sell house deeds back to architect NPCs
Fixed an issue where players would get incorrect amounts of gold for selling house deeds back to architect NPCs
Fixed an issue with characters dying onboard boats which prevented players from packing up the boats later
Added new item property in code (via bools bitset) that can be used to enable/disable maker's mark on crafted items. This property can be set to true for items crafted at exceptional quality by GM craftsmen
Exposed the new item property to JS engine:
.isMarkedByMaker // If true, maker's mark will be displayed
Updated default item tooltip to display " of exceptional quality" for items crafted with exceptional quality
Updated default item tooltip to display "[Crafted] by [Crafter's Name]" for exceptional quality items crafted by GM craftsmen. The [Crafted] text comes from the MADEWORD defined in dfndata/skills/skills.dfn for the primary skill used to craft the item
Updated old-school single-click names for items (when AoS bit is disabled in client/server features) to display exceptional status and/or maker's mark for appropriate items
Fixed an issue with the display of titles for NPCs that used dictionary lookups for their title
Added new UOX.INI settings under the [settings] section:
DISPLAYMAKERSMARK=1/0 // Controls if maker's marks on crafted items are shown on a global level
SHOWNPCTITLESOVERHEAD=1/0 // Controls whether NPC titles are shown over their heads
SHOWINVULNERABLETAGOVERHEAD=0/1 // Controls whether invulnerable tags are shown overhead
GLOBALRESTOCKMULTIPLIER=1.0 // Global multiplier applied to RESTOCK property of items when loaded from DFNs
Added new UOX.INI settings under the [combat] section:
PETCOMBATTRAINING=1/0 // Controls whether pets can gain skills/stats from combat
HIRELINGCOMBATTRAINING=1/0 // Controls whether hirelings can gain skills/stats from combat
NPCCOMBATTRAINING=0/1 // Controls whether NPCs in general can gain skills/stats from combat
Fixed an issue where a player meeting the exact minimum requirements for crafting an item would always fail
Fixed a bug with teleporting off boats to valid nearby locations when double-clicking boat planks while standing on it
Updated behaviour of planks on boats:
Boat key can unlock plank, but won't automatically open it
Boat key used on an open, unlocked plank will lock and automatically close the plank
Boat key used on an open, locked plank will unlock the plank and leave it open
Player using an unlocked plank now opens it
Player using an open plank will disembark (if onboard) or embark (if not) the boat
Player can always open a locked plank if they're on the boat, even with no key, to allow disembarking the boat.
Planks that are open, but locked cannot be accessed from outside the boat, and will close automatically after five of seconds
Updated behaviour of Magic Lock/Unlock spells:
Magic Lock cannot be used on objects inside a multi
Magic Lock applies difficulty to lock based on caster's Magery skill
Magic Lock effect will last between 7 to 50 seconds (depending on caster's Magery skill)
Any object that can be locked via Magic Lock spell can also be unlocked via Magic Unlock spell, if caster has high enough Magery skill
Fixed a bug where certain JS Functions, Methods and Properties would occasionally pass incorrect values to scripts that called upon them. Scripts that rely on the GetCurrentClock() Function, the .GetTimer() Method, .decayTime, .logTime, .oreTime and .fishTime Properties might need to be updated to account for the fix, which causes larger values to be passed in than before.
Fixed a bug related to GetCurrentClock() that caused decay and respawning of dungeon chests from working properly
Fixed a bug related to GetCurrentClock() and .logTime/.fishTime that prevented consumption and regeneration of log/fish resources from working properly
Added a new JS Function:
GetStartTime() // Returns a timestamp for when server started up

Fixed an issue where Alchemy crafting skill did not properly check for the existence of the crafting tool before proceeding with the crafting process
Fixed an issue that prevented the Teleport spell from working as intended
Fixed an issue where players would still get 1 gold even if STARTGOLD in uox.ini was set to 0
Fixed an issue with mount restrictions script that prevented players from mounting Unicorns, Ki-rins and Cu Sidhes

Added ANIMAL tag to a small bunch of creature definitions (dfndata/creatures/creatures.dfn)
Fixed an issue with Bowcraft skill where player could not gain enough skill from crafting bows to reach min requirement for crossbows, and similiarly could not reach min requirement for heavy crossbows from crossbows
Updated default value of MURDERDECAYTIMER INI setting from 60 seconds to 28800 seconds (8 hours), to match the amount of time it would take for one (short term) murder count to decay on LBR-era OSI shards.
Added a new feature that allows shard admins/scripters to mark specific NPCs as "permanently awake", in order to keep UOX3 running scripts, timers and updates for these NPCs even if they are in regions that are "asleep" because of no nearby online players.
A new UOX.INI setting has been added which can turn this feature on/off:
ALLOWAWAKENPCS=0/1 // If disabled, NPCs marked as awake are treated as regular NPCs
New NPC DFN tag added to mark an NPC as awake or not:
AWAKE=0/1 // 0 = disabled (default), 1 = enabled
New Character JS Property added to toggle an NPC's awake state via JS:
.isAwake // 0 = disabled (default), 1 = enabled
'get and 'set commands updated with the new awake property:
'get awake
'set awake 0/1
IP of shard in shard list is now sent to client in little endian instead of big endian, which should correct the ping displayed in shard list, which previously showed a timeout (punt)
Updated UOX.INI setting NETWORKLOG to actually control logging of network traffic for all connected clients, without needing each socket to have logging enabled via the manual console command 'Z'. This console command can still be used, however, to override a disabled INI setting and enable network traffic logging for connected clients.
Updated 'get and 'set commands to support getting/setting a range of socket properties for a targeted (online) player:
tempInt // int (temporary value)
tempInt2 // int (temporary value)
xText // string (temporary string)
clickX // int (x coordinate of where player clicked with targeting cursor)
clickY // int (y coordinate of where player clicked with targeting cursor)
clickZ // int (z coordinate of where player clicked with targeting cursor)
walkSequence // int (movement sequence number, between 0 and 255)
currentSpellType // int (current spell being cast by a player)
logging // bool (enable to override disabled NETWORKLOG setting)
pickupX // int (x coordinate of where player picked up an item from)
pickupY // int (y coordinate of where player picked up an item from)
pickupZ // int (z coordinate of where player picked up an item from)
pickupSpot // int (0 = nowhere, 1 = ground, 2 = ownpack, 3 = otherpack, 4 = paperdoll, 5 = bank)
language // string (language code)
Fixed an issue where CUSTOMINTTAG in NPC DFNs would not get read properly, but would instead print an (incorrect) warning about how the tag was formatted
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
Added new JS Item Methods to get/set the value (0-255) for specific parts (1-4) of temp variables ("more", "morex", "morey", "morez"):
.GetMoreVar( moreVarName, moreVarPart )
.SetMoreVar( moreVarName, moreVarPart, moreVarValue )
Updated Remove Trap script (js/skill/removetrap.js) to make use of GetMoreVar() and SetMoreVar methods
Updated inRange JS event to also trigger for Items with this event attached, when player characters come within update range. Updated syntax:
inRange( srcItem, pCharInRange )
inRange( srcChar, objInRange )
When UOX3 retrieves data from the onToolTip() JS event to potentially display custom object tooltips, it will use the ID specified in a temporary JS tag ("tooltipCliloc") on the object as the clilocID being sent to the client with the tooltip text returned from the script. If no such tag exists on the object, it defaults to cliloc ID 1042971.
Added new JS event that triggers _after_ an item has been removed from a container (no return values supported):
onContRemoveItem( iCont, objRemoved, pChar )
The JS Function SpawnNPC() can now spawn NPCs from NPCLISTS if provided with a boolean parameter flag (useNpcList). Updated syntax:
CChar SpawnNPC( npcSection/npclist, x, y, z, worldnumber, instanceID, useNpcList )
Added new JS Event to allow detection of movement near an object (items only, for now). Distance at which it triggers determined by part 1 of the item's MORE property. Use long ranges with care! Syntax:
onMoveDetect( srcObj, pChar, rangeToChar, oldCharX, oldCharY )
Added new JS script (js/server/misc/dungeon_traps.js) for handling trap mechanics in (primarily) dungeons. The traps all trigger on collision, and use different parts of the "morez" property to determine enabled/disabled status, damage, min skill required to disarm, max skill at which player can still gain skill from disarming. Disarming renders trap inactive for 60 seconds. Implemented trap types:
Spike Traps // Active for ~5 seconds after triggered, deals damage every 1 second.
Giant Spike Trap // Active for ~1 second after triggered, deals high instant damage one time

Added dungeon traps to 'add menu, under Buildings > Decs > Dungeon Traps
Added new commands to make modifying IDs of items (and NPCs) easier:
'incid # // Increment/decrement ID of target by specified amount
'rincid # // Repeatedly increment/decrement ID of target/multiple targets by specified amount
Updated 'add and 'radd commands with new, optional syntax to make adding trees easier (potentially with GM tools/macros), as it will add both trunk and leaf at same location with a single command:
'add tree [trunkID] [leafID]
'radd tree [trunkID] [leafID]
Updated AreaCommand GM command to include support for setting the .decayable property on multiple items at once. Also updated the script with appropriate system messages throughout, which now also show how many items were affected by use of the command
Added new item script (js/item/gate_opener.js) that can be used to make switches/levers raise/lower multiple nearby gates. See script comments for details on setup
Updated various JS scripts that used GetSByte() to retrieve Z of last targeted location from Socket to manually add height of targeted tile for client version below 7.0.9 only
Fixed an issue where items created with 'decorate load command could be set as decayable
Fixed an issue where multiple timers could be running on a single door by manually opening and closing it repeatedly. Closing a door will now kill the associated timer on said door.
Fixed incorrect IDs for secret doors in Item DFNs (they were off by 1, so would not work properly)
Updated name of all secret doors in dfndata/items/building/doors.dfn to inherit name from tiledata instead
Added secret door IDs to dfndata/harditems/harditems.dfn
Item and NPC definitions can now make use of randomization for the ID tag, for more variety. Syntax:
id=[id1] [id2] [etc] // Example: id=0x0e42 0x0e43
Fixed MORE values of "hard scripted" books in dfndata/items/misc/books.dfn
Added Ice and Fire dungeon locations (dfndata/location/location.dfn) and added these to the GM travel menu (dfndata/item/travelmenu.dfn/travelmenu.bulk.dfn)
Fixed body ID for ancient wyrm NPCs, which also fixes their name (dfndata/npc/dragons.dfn)
Added more pre-defined books to dfndata/misc/books.dfn (and dfndata/items/misc/books.dfn):
Quest of the Virtues – Volume 1 // [quest_of_the_virtues_vol1]
Fropoz's Journal // [fropoz_journal]
Translated Gargoyle Journal // [translated_gargoyle_journal]
Kabur's Journal // [kaburs_journal]
Updated code for spawn containers to allow spawning more than one item per container; by default, a spawn container will now spawn every item from an itemlist if set as the spawnobjlist property for that spawn container. These itemlists can contain direct item references, references to other itemlists or even lootlists
Added 4 levels of dungeon treasure chests that can be placed out as spawn objects in dungeons, with items and valuables spawning inside on a regular interval. These can be found in dfndata/items/gmmenu/dungeon_treasure_spawners.dfn, with associated itemlists being found in dfndata/items/itemlists/itemlists.dfn (dungeontreasureloot1, dungeontreasureloot2, dungeontreasureloot3 and dungeontreasureloot4). They can also be located in the 'add menu under GM Menu > Dungeon Treasures
Added spawn regions for dungeon treasure chests in the following areas:
Covetous, Deceit, Despise, Destard, Fire, Hythloth, Ice, Shame, Wrong, Yew Crypts, Daemon Temple, Trinsic Passage, Cove Orc Fort, Terathan Keep, Vesper Bank, Trinsic Bank
Updated Lockpicking skill to check for the existence of skill difficulty on locks, and use those to perform skill checks when attempting to pick those locks. Difficulty on a lock can be setup using the morey property using this syntax:
morey=[0x00] [0x00/0x01] [0x##] [0x##] // the first part is unused, the second is used with Unlock spell, the third and fourth are the minimum skill to unlock and the max skill that can be gained from picking the lock
Updated Unlock spell to check for existence of morey property value on lock. If there's a value, and the second part of the value is not 0x01, Unlock cannot be used to unlock the lock. By default, dungeon treasure containers level 1 and 2 are unlockable with the Unlock spell, while levels 3 and 4 are not, and require Lockpicking skill to unlock.
Fixed an issue where player characters would "skip a step" when moving under certain circumstances (like coming out of hiding)
Added new decorations in default world templates for the following areas:
Covetous, Deceit, Despise, Destard, Fire, Hythloth, Ice, Shame, Wrong, Hedge Maze, Wind (city), Terathan Keep, Orc Caves, Ilshenar facet, Ilshenar dungeons

All cities in Britannia and the Lost Lands

Updated teleport.scp with teleport locations for:
Hedge maze, Hythloth lvl 2 teleport maze, Wrong dungeon, Buccaneer's Den to/from mainland, various Ilshenar teleport locations
Players flagged as criminals or non-innocent aggressors in PvP combat can no longer use public moongates
Pets will now teleport along with the player both when using moongates (public or spell-based), recall, object-based teleporters or hard-defined teleport locations from teleport.scp
