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

.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

GLOBALRESTOCKMULTIPLIER=1.0 // Global multiplier applied to RESTOCK property of items when loaded from DFNs

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

Fixed an issue that prevented boats from moving
Fixed an issue that prevented boats from being blocked by blocking tiles

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)

Fixed an issue where items added to house (multi) definition would not be attached to the house if their coordinates were not within the boundaries of the house. This prevented the usage of house foundation multis with custom stairs, for instance.
