This changes all routine calls that wanted a specific type of stream ifstream/ofstream to the generic istream/ostream. So you can use stringstream, or other derived types.
Misc cleanup and standardization of style and naming conventions in code and scripts

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

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 new JS Methods for Characters and Items, for getting/setting expiry time for a specific timer belonging to a specific script attached to an object, or to kill said timer completely:
.GetJSTimer( timerID, scriptID )
.SetJSTimer( timerID, timeInMilliseconds, scriptID )
.KillJSTimer( timerID, scriptID )
Added new JS commands:
'getjstimer timerID,scriptID // Spits out remaining time before timer expires

'killjstimer timerID,scriptID // Kills specific timer completely
Updated JS Docs with info on the new JS timer-related methods
Updated dictionaries with new lines used by new JS timer-related commands
Fixed an issue where multis could vanish because multi data was not always correctly saved out to house.wsc; now multi data is saved to the same wsc files as other items instead, and while UOX3 still reads house.wsc content on world load, it will delete the file on the first world save, as it's no longer needed.
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 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):

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 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

Fixed two broken timer references in JS: Timer.SPELLRECOVERYTIME and Timer.LOYALTYTIME
Fixed a bug where players could gain points in Evaluating Intelligence skill by targeting themselves (js/skills/evaluateintel.js)
Updated Evaluating Intelligence skill to show more detailed information about targets (js/skills/evaluateintel.js)
Fixed some issues with sound effects in JS based spells
UOX3 console should now show 100% when done saving, regardless of the amount of data it has to save
Earthquake spell can no longer harm invulnerable characters
Fixed issue where NPC would evade instead of change to a different nearby target if unable to pathfind to current target
Damage dealt by Fire Field spell is now determined by BASEDMG tag (defaults to 2, if resisted, half of that) in spells.dfn
The rate at which the effects of field spells (Fire Field, Poison Field and Paralyze Field) are applied is now determined via the DAMAGEDELAY tag in spells.dfn, which defaults to 1.0 seconds
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

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
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

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

Fixed multiple issues with health bars, flagging and character highlighting
Added some crash protection for invalid data used with CUSTOMINTTAG and CUSTOMSTRINGTAG DFN tags for Items, NPCs and Multis
Fixed an issue which prevented hard-coded checks from running when using items

.ClearFriendList() // Clears list of friends
Added new Character JS Method to fetch a player character's list of pets/followers
.GetPetList() // Gets list of pets/followers

GenericList< CChar * > petOwnerList
Added new Character JS Method to check if a player is on a pet's owner list as a previous owner:

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

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 JS Function DeleteFile(), which would stop calling script from working if no file was found for deletion. Could break demolishing of houses, amongst other things
Fixed an issue with DoSEErrorMessage() function that prevented JS function error messages from being displayed in UOX3 console if message size was below 512
Fixed a bug that allowed players to place items on the same slot of walls when using a client that doesn't automatically restrict this
When dropping items, UOX3 will now look for a valid surface to drop them on, and move the item to said valid surface if applicable
Fixed an issue with loading of MultiCollections.uop where max boundaries of each multi was not set on load, preventing features that relied on finding corners of building from working (like automatic ban location detection for houses)
Added new function in mapstuff.cpp to check flags on dynamic items, and exposed it as a JS Function with same name and parameters:
CheckDynamicFlag( SI16 x, SI16 y, SI08 oldz, UI08 worldNumber, UI16 instanceID, TileFlags toCheck );
Fixed an issue where items were not always properly added to/removed from map regions when picked up or dropped
Added new helper function in dist.cpp to find 3D distance between two points:
getDist3D( point a, point b )
Added JS Function - DistanceBetween() - to find distance between two sets of coordinates, or two objects:
DistanceBetween( x1, y1, x2, y2 )
DistanceBetween( x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2 )
DistanceBetween( sourceObject, targObject )
DistanceBetween( sourceObject, targObject, checkZ )
Added Item JS Method - GetTileName() - to get name of an item directly from tiledata
Added new UOX.INI setting that defines the lower limit for when a purchase will withdraw money from bank instead of backpack:
BANKBUYTHRESHOLD=2000
Split the UOX.INI setting CONSOLELOG into three parts, to enable/disable different forms of logging:
CONSOLELOG=1/0 // Toggles logging of console messages, warnings and errors
NETWORKLOG=1/0 // Toggles logging of network traffic
SPEECHLOG=1/0 // Toggles logging of player/staff speech
Added new class RegionSerialList to store serial references to objects added to/removed from regions (both on worldfile load and when objects move in-game). This allows for faster lookup, insertion tests, etc. and results in worldfiles loading up to ~41% faster
Replaced CDataList with the new GenericList class throughout UOX3, and removed CDataList from the project files
Reverted an earlier change where scriptsections were supposed to be reapplied to items bought from NPC shopkeepers - didn't actually work!
Fixed an error in tweak command (js/commands/targeting/tweak.js) when attempting to use it on characters with no backpacks
Updated a bunch of casts to use UOX3-specific typedefs for consistency
Startup performance is now faster by an additional 70% over the previous commit, primarily due to modernization of HandleLine() functions in cBaseobject.cpp, cChar.cpp, cItem.cpp and cMultiObj.cpp (punt)
Exposed a (read-only) JS property for characters to fetch their hunger rate. Uses race's hunger rate if defined, otherwise uses HUNGERRATE form uox.ini:
.hungerRate // Seconds between becoming hungrier
Updated 'get command to allow retrieving a character's hungerRate property
Added some details to console during UOX3 startup about which IPs and Ports UOX3 is listening to
Added new JS event that triggers when a player clicks on the Quest button in the paperdoll. Triggers from character script if present, or global script if not:
onQuestGump( pUser )
Added new JS event that triggers when player toggles a special move from a combat book. See packet 0xBF, subCmd 0x19 in packet guides for details on the special moves, whose IDs range from 0x00 to 0x1D:
onSpecialMove( pUser, abilityID )
Fixed invalid ID for items [0x0174] and [0x0175] in dfndata/items/building/walls/stone_walls.dfn
Updated FileSize() function in regions.cpp to fetch file size using std::filesystem::file_size() instead of creating an input stream, opening a file and then trying to seek the last position in the file
Added findNearbyObjects() function to findfuncs.cpp, to find all objects (characters and items) of CBaseObject class near a specified location
Improved performance when initializing multis on startup; now checks for items near multis, instead of checking for multis near every single item!
Improved performance when loading items and characters from worldfiles during startup; around 33% faster for release builds, around ~50% faster when running in debug mode through visual studio (punt)
Updated createSection() in ssection.cpp to use std::string and StringUtility functions instead of UString, and added some error handling (punt)

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)
Added new Makefile that handles compiling UOX3 and Spidermonkey on both Linux and MacOS (punt)
Added VS solution (SpiderMonkey.sln) and VC++ project files for compiling SpiderMonkey on Windows (Xuri)
Updated SpiderMonkey from v1.6.0 to v1.7.0
Added optimization flag -O2 for release build in CMakeLists.txt in project root (Xuri)
Added StringUtility file with general common string manipulation functions (punt)
Updated RandomNum function to use a "seedless" random number generator from C++11 instead of the old C rand() function. (punt)
Overall code cleanup to remove/replace platform-dependent code (punt)
Replaced potentially unsafe usage of C string stuff like sprintf, vsprintf, vsnprintf, strncat, strcpy and strlen throughout the code with calls to a format() function containing only a single, safe use of vsnprintf, ensuring there's a single place of failure if there's anything to fix and and making it easy to potentially replace this with std::format from C++20 when the time comes. (punt)
Replaced usage of char in many places with std::string (punt)
Started process of replacing UString usage with functions provided through StringUtility instead (punt)
Replaced platform specific fileIO handling in Windows/Linux with cross-platform C++17 standard std::filesystem (punt)
Replaced platform specific time handling by using cross-platform chrono library (punt)
Removed UOX namespace to reduce complexity (punt)
Elimitated template code approach to singletons for more modern c++ constructs, removing dependices in the process (punt)
Removed ODBC support; it hasn't been touched since the initial implementation in 2008, and there is a lack of someone to maintain the code. (punt)
Removed some platform specific files like uoxlinux.h, which is no longer required (punt)
Removed legacy crash protection code, and removed support for cluox (punt)
Removed legacy "support" for Borland compiler (punt)
Removed legacy VC++ 6 Workspace/Project files, VS2005 Solution/Project files, as these are no longer supported (Xuri)
Removed legacy BUILD folder with outdated compilation instructions (Xuri)
Removed old Changelog file (merged into Changelog.txt) (Xuri)
Fixed a pointer bug for items in multis on world load (punt)
Fixed a dictionary related issue that caused segmentation faults on Linux/MacOS (punt)
Fixed an issue with callbacks to JS scripts that caused segmentation faults on Linux/MacOS (punt)
Paths in uox.ini should now load properly on all platforms regardless of whether those paths use slashes or backslashes, and whether or not they end in a slash/backslash. (punt)
Moved to c++17 style of threading, and got rid of threadsafeobject.cpp/h (punt)
Replaced parsing of UOX.INI tags with a system that's more easily maintainable (punt)
Added some new commands to js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js (Xuri)
cont // Targeted item will be made a container, set to nondecay and movable 2
endfight // Targeted character (and character being fought) will stop fighting
getmulti // Get multiObject for targeted item
finditem // Find item at layer X
movespeed // Set movement speed of target player (0x0 Normal, 0x1 Mounted, 0x2 Slow (walk only), 0x3 Hybrid ("jog"?), 0x4 Frozen)
Added new HTML based documentation in docs folder, and removed many old legacy docs that are either incorporated into this document already or no longer relevant for the current UOX3 version (Xuri)

Embraced the usage of R32, R64, SI16, UI16, SI32, UI32, SI64 and UI64 typedef aliases as replacement for built-in types throughout the sourcecode:
typedef float R32;
typedef double R64;
typedef signed char SI08;
typedef unsigned char UI08;
typedef signed short int SI16;
typedef unsigned short int UI16;
typedef signed int SI32;
typedef unsigned int UI32;
typedef signed long long SI64;
typedef unsigned long long UI64;
As part of this process, UI32 was redefined from unsigned long int to unsigned int, and SI32 from signed long int to signed int to ensure the size of variables using these remain the same (32bit) across both Windows, Linux and MacOS for both 32bit and 64bit platforms
Replaced instances of toLong() with toInt(), and toULong() to toUInt()
Replaced instances of "long" and "int" with SI32 where possible
Replaced instances of "unsigned long" and "unsigned int" with UI32 where possible
Replaced instances of "float" with R32 where possible
Misc code and documentation cleanup:
Updated and standardized function comment blocks throughout entire codebase
Grouped getters and setters together in pairs and documented them as one
Removed empty and/or non-useful information from comment blocks
Removed unused function from cItem.cpp/h - IncID() - formerly used to change IDs for doors
Added new feature - Instances
Objects (characters, items, multis, spawnregions) can now make use of a 5th parameter to determine their location in the game world. In addition to the traditional X, Y, Z and WORLDNUMBER parameters, a new one has been added - INSTANCEID - that allows objects to exist at the same coordinates in the same world, but in different "dimensions". Code has been updated in multiple places to support this, and a default instanceID of 0 is assumed if nothing else is specified.
Added support for new DFN tag in town regions, spawn regions and locations - INSTANCEID (defaults to 0 if not present)
Added support for another start location parameter after worldNum in UOX.INI representing instanceID (defaults to 0 if not present)
Updated TWEAK menu to include WorldNumber and instanceID
Fixed BaseWeight option in TWEAK menu
Updated CBase_Teleport - now takes an optional 5th parameter instanceID
Updated SE_SpawnNPC now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_FindMulti now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_GetItem now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_FindItem now takes an optional 6th parameter - instanceID
Added new JS property for Items, Characters, Regions: .instanceID
Added JS property for Regions: .members - returns comma-separated list of town member serials
Updated JS scripts making use of the above-mentioned JS Methods/Functions
Updated dictionaries with new tweak menu entry texts
Exposed SpawnRegions to JS engine, and updated JS docs with details:
SpawnRegion JS Functions
IterateOverSpawnRegions()
GetSpawnRegion( spawnRegNum )
