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

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

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

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

[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

js/commands/targeting/set.js
js/commands/decorate.js
js/commands/go.js

OFFERBODSFROMCONTEXTMENU=0 // If enabled, shopkeepers might offer BODs via context menu option
BODSFROMCRAFTEDITEMSONLY=0 // If enabled, only selling of crafted items will trigger BOD offers
BODGOLDREWARDMULTIPLIER=1 // Reward multiplier for Gold given for completing a BODs - defaults to 1.0
BODFAMEREWARDMULTIPLIER=1 // Reward multiplier for Fame given for completing a BOD - defaults to 1.0

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

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

int UseResource( amount, realItemId )
int UseResource( amount, realItemId, colour )
int UseResource( amount, realItemId, colour, moreVal )
int UseResource( amount, realItemId, colour, moreVal, sectionId )

Some minor cleanup

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
