Added some missing shield IDs (0xA649, 0xA64A, 0xA831, 0xA832) to IsShieldType() function
MAXRANGE item property previously only worked for ranged weapons; now it works for melee weapons too, and potentially allows melee weapons with combat range longer than 1 tile
MAXRANGE item property can now be used to define max combat range for melee weapons
Fixed an issue (non-critical) with .PlaceInPack() JS Method that would cause UOX3 to try adding items marked for deletion to refreshQueue and spam console with errors
Added missing AI scripts to summoned Blade Spirits and Energy Vortexes (dfndata/npc/magicsummon.dfn)
Fixed an issue with weight calculation for hireling backpacks (js/npc/ai/hireling.js)

Fixed an issue with runebook script (js/item/runebook.js) that prevented players from being able to use recall charges without having spellbook with spell in inventory
Fixed issues with placement of tall items on ground/floor, and with stacking of items in houses
Fixed incorrect alias for woodland armor (dfndata/items/gear/armor/other/armor/wood.dfn - thanks Dragon Slayer)
Fixed a critical issue with script context sometimes changing while executing a script, because of events in other scripts being triggered. Affected scripts can be safeguarded against this by the addition of a dummy callback function anywhere in the script: function _restorecontext_() {}
Fixed an issue with non-animal pets not gaining loyalty when being fed (thanks Dragon Slayer)
Added new JS Object Methods for Chars/Items/Multis to fetch list of custom tags associated with object:
.GetTagMap() // Gets list of persistent custom tags associated with object
.GetTempTagMap() // Gets list of temporary custom tags associated with object
Added new JS commands ('GETTAGMAP and 'GETTEMPTAGMAP) that spits out details of custom tags associated with targeted object (js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js)
Added new JS command ('USEITEM) that acts as a short-cut for double-clicking on targeted item (js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js)
Updated 'ADD # and 'ADD ITEM # JS commands to support targeting a container directly and adding the new item inside (js/commands/targeting/add.js)
Updated axe script to only perform lumberjacking skill-check when there's still wood available in a given area, and to play appropriate animations for Gargoyle players (js/item/axe.js)

Updated script for stablemasters to avoid relying on global variables (js/npc/ai/stablemaster.js)
Updated names of items crafted with runic hammers to include the material name of the hammers used to craft them (js/skill/craft/crafting_complete.js)

Added entries for a couple of walls with missing no-shoot flags to tile overrides in dfndata/maps/tiles.dfn
Updated JS Method .SoundEffect() to support optional third argument (creatureSoundNum) to play creature-defined sounds from dfndata/creatures/creatures.dfn. New syntax:
.SoundEffect( soundID, allHear[, creatureSoundNum] ) // 0=SOUND_STARTATTACK, 1=SOUND_IDLE, 2=SOUND_ATTACK, 3=SOUND_DEFEND, 4=SOUND_DIE
Added new Character JS Methods:
.SetRandomName( nameListID ) // apply a random name from specified namelist to character
.FindItemSection( sectionID ) // find item in player's backpack with specified sectionID
Added new Socket JS Method:
.OpenContainer() // Opens specified container for socket
Fixed an issue where casting Wall of Stone inside a multi would lead to the wall of stone never expiring, because it was not correctly marked as a field spell
Reduced combat message spam; attacking messages now only appear when attacking targets who are not already fighting the attacker
Added a new character state - "passive combat mode" - primarily used by players when they tab out of combat. Tabbing out of combat will prevent the character from retaliating in combat if they're already fighting someone
Fixed several issues with dropping items through floors, tables and generally not being placed correctly when dropped inside multis
Hard-defined the Z-level at which some jewellers in Britain spawn to deny them rooftop access (spawn_felucca_town_britain.dfn and spawn_trammel_town_britain.dfn)
Added system messages informing shard staff with elevated command privileges why they are getting 100% skill check success, and no spellcast delay

Base multis created with CreateBaseMulti() JS function or BuildBaseMulti() C++ function no longer require valid 'house/boat' locations to spawn
Fixed an issue where no reagents were consumed when casting recall/gate spells via spell icons in runebooks (js/item/runebook.js)
Spawn Regions will now more accurately spawn objects near desired heights supplied via PREFZ tags. Using PREFZ=20 will attempt to spawn NPCs on the second floor of a building with ground level at Z 0, for instance.
Added a new DFN tag usable in Spawn Regions to define a definite Z level at which to attempt to spawn objects (skips some steps in the process and assumes the defined Z is a valid Z):
DEFZ=# // Defines a definite Z level to attempt to spawn an object at
Updated banker AI script (js/npc/ai/banker.js) with some extra validation checks, system messages and to take max weight capacity of bankbox into account
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

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
Fixed an issue where the color of NPC corpse names would not always match up with the NPC's flag color
Fixed a bug where the baseRange and maxRange properties of ranged weapons would not get saved to world files. These values are now saved in the format of RANGE=baseRange,maxRange
Changed the way items are added to containers, to ensure that the order in which the items are displayed to the player always reflects the order in which they were added; now the most recent item added/moved in a container will always be rendered on top of older items.
Made adjustments to how items are randomly added to containers; should use more of a given container gump's available area now
Exposed Item property to JS engine, which contains serial of the creator of an item:
.creator // contains serial of the creator of an item. If set, maker's marks will show up in the item's tooltip
Fixed an issue where JS engine would lose track of script context if one script used CreateDFNItem() or SpawnNPC() functions and the new objects had events that triggered upon creation. UOX3 now restores the original script context at the tail end of these functions.
Added new JS Event to allow inserting custom tooltip text for objects, which will be displayed in tooltips right after the object name. Any text returned from the event will be displayed, and the text can make use of the same HTML tags as gumps to make changes to color, font, etc.
onTooltip( myObj ) // Triggers for objects right before the object's tooltip properties are sent to client
Updated 'tweak and 'set commands to refresh item being modified if movable state of item changes, so the change is reflected in nearby clients
Fixed an issue with NPC vendors and items bought from players not being properly removed from the vendor's "bought container" when players buy them again
Ported Item Identification skill from code to JS (js/skill/itemid.js) and removed hard-coded version
Implemented magic item generator in JS (js/item/magic_item.js). When this script is attached to an NPC, it has a chance to generate magic weapons, armors, wands/staffs and rings as loot on the NPC's corpse when slain. The chance of getting quality magical items increases with the fame level of the NPC in question. The types of magical items generated follows the pattern of such items as implemented in UO prior to the AoS expansion.
Examples:
exceedingly accurate war hammer of vanquishing
substantial, accurate axe of power and Daemon's Breath
silver long sword
massive platemail arms of Protection
metal shield of defense
durable ringmail tunic of guarding
All magic items have a chance to have spell effects attached (with rings/wands being guaranteed to have these), with a limited amount of charges available. For weapons, these effects activate on successful hits in combat, while for armors they activate on equip, and then periodically as long as the item is worn. Rings and wands/staffs have to be manually activated and targeted - with the exception of rings of invisibility, which activate the moment you equip them!
Related scripts:
js/item/magic_armor_equipeffects.js
js/item/magic_weapon_accbonus.js
js/item/magic_weapon_equip.js
js/item/magic_weapon_spell_attack.js
The magic item loot generation script has been attached to a number of different NPCs, all of which now have a chance to drop magic items as loot when defeated.
A bonus magical item - the glacial staff - has also been implemented (js/item/magic_glacial_staff.js), and has a chance to drop as loot from Giant Ice Serpents!
Fixed an issue with CustomTarget where the target message would not be displayed if the cursorType parameter was provided
Fixed bug with 'rename command, which referenced a non-existing variable that caused a script crash
Added additional object properties to 'get and 'set commands:
.shouldSave // Determines if an item should be saved in worldfiles or not
.baseRange // Determines the base range of a ranged weapon, less than which it becomes less effective
.maxRange // Determines the max range of a ranged weapon, beyond which it cannot reach its target
The feature that allows stats like Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence to provide bonuses to skill checks has been turned into a UOX.INI setting, which is disabled by default. The bonuses have also been nerfed; they will no longer contribute more to the success of a skill check than the actual skill being checked!
STATSAFFECTSKILLCHECKS=0/1 // If enabled, stats can provide bonuses to skill checks based on the weighting for those stats as setup in dfndata/skills/skills.dfn
Updated damage tracking code to include the type of damage that was dealt (PHYSICAl vs HEAT vs COLD, etc)
Updated Character JS Method Damage() to include a new parameter that can specify the type of damage that was dealt to the character. The new parameter must always be included if other optional parameters are used. Note that updates might be required for scripts making use of this method.Updated syntax:
.Damage( amount )
.Damage( amount, damageType )
.Damage( amount, damageType, attacker )
.Damage( amount, damageType, attacker, doRepsys )
Supported damageTypes:
PHYSICAL = 1
LIGHT = 2
RAIN = 3
COLD = 4
HEAT = 5
LIGHTNING = 6 // magic damage
POISON = 7
SNOW = 8
Updated JS Event OnDamage to include an additional parameter that describes the type of damage that was dealt. New syntax:
onDamage( damaged, attacker, damageValue, damageType )
Updated JS Event OnSpellTarget to allow rejecting a spell being cast on a target by returning a value of 2 from the script
Split the character priv flag for magic reflection into a temporary one (one-time magic reflection spell) and a permanent one (innate permanent reflection ability). The temporary effect is put in place by Magic Reflection spell, and is removed after a successful spell reflect. The permanent one is an innate ability of a character and is not removed even after a spell is reflected.
Added new Character JS property to get/set state of a character's permanent magic reflect ability:
.permanentMagicReflect // 0 = disable, 1 = enable
Added special abilities/effects for the following NPCs:
Acid Elementals now have a chance to damage the melee weapons of their attackers
Dull Copper Elementals now explode on death
Shadow Iron Elemental is immune to targeted spell damage
Copper Elementals have permanent magic reflect, and reflect some physical damage back at their attacker
Bronze Elementals deal passive area damage to nearby players every 5 to 10 seconds
Valorite Elementals have permanent magic reflect, reflect some physical damage back at their attacker
Snow/Ice Elementals deal passive area damage to nearby players every 5 to 10 seconds
Lava Serpents deal passive area damage to nearby players every 5 to 10 seconds

Kraken, 39 to 59 dmg at max health
Dragon (Red), 41 to 62 dmg at max health

Ancient Wyrm, 60 to 90 dmg at max health
Update stats, skills and loot for all currently implemented NPCs
Removed an ancient piece of code that prevented corpses from being generated for various elementals and blade spirits on death. This was originally put in place because these creatures had no corpses, and would replace it with a backpack instead, but these creatures now all have corpses in all client versions supported by UOX3
Updated potions script (js/item/potion.js) with updated formula for amount of hitpoints healed by healing potions, and added restrictions for using them when at full health and/or if poisoned (Dragon Slayer)
Fixed a bug where creatures (and humans, if FORCENEWANIMATIONPACKET was disabled in uox.ini) would play animations with wrong frame count, causing the animations to either freeze for a few frames at the end, or get cut off a couple of frames early
Implemented bonus hit chance for Archery skill, based on mention of such a bonus in Publish 5 patch notes and related UO House of Commons chat. This has been exposed as a UOX.INI setting where this bonus can be tweaked:
ARCHERYHITBONUS=10 // Bonus hit chance for Archery skill added to regular hit chance in combat. Defaults to 10%
Implemented optional extra delay between moving and being able to shoot with ranged weapons in combat (in addition to whatever delay is there due to speed of the ranged weapon). This is exposed as a UOX.INI setting:
ARCHERYSHOOTDELAY=0.5 // Minimum delay in seconds from a player stops moving until they can start to fire their ranged weapon. Defaults to 0.5s
Fixed a bug where players who never entered combat mode could fire ranged weapons while moving
Updated Add-menu with some improvements for usability:
Menu now directly on the Objects (previously "Shard") tab for quicker access, with a small welcome text and quick-link button for UOX3 docs
Settings tab contains some (persistent, will be saved with character) options for how the Add-menu behaves, along with a few quick-access buttons to some useful commands. Available options:
Option to add chosen item at specific location instead of in GM's backpack
Option to add chosen item repeatedly until cancelled
Option to automatically reopen Add-menu on last menu that was open when a selection is made
Option to force decayable state of all added items to either off (doesn't decay), on (decays) or nothing (use item default)
Option to force movable state of all added items to either off (not movable), on (movable) or nothing (use item default)
Added a Home button at the bottom of the menu, that takes the user back to the front page of the Add-menu regardless of which menu page they're on
Updated Character/Socket JS Method SysMessage() with an optional parameter to specify the color used to display the system message. Updated syntax:
.SysMessage( "Text" ) // Display "Text" to user as a system message with default system message color from ini
.SysMessage( "Text %s %s", txtArg1, txtArg2 ) // Display "Text" to player with string arguments injected into text
.SysMessage( txtColor, "Text" ) // Display "Text" to user with a specified color
.SysMessage( txtColor, "Text %s %s", txtArg1, txtArg2 ) // Combination of text color, text and string arguments
Fixed a bug where hair/beard items could show up inside corpses
Fixed a bug where items could sometimes vanish (visually) from containers when bouncing back because player was not able to pick them up
Fixed a bug where players would be unable to pick up a freely movable item from a locked down container
Updated handling of item bouncing on pickup to use UOX3 dictionary messages instead of hard-coded client messages
Added support for new Dictionary language:
dictionary.POL - Polish (SERVERLANGUAGE=8 in uox.ini, or client language 83 if SERVERLANGUAGE is set to 0)
Added taming restrictions for Unicorn, Ki-Rin and Cu Sidhe (js/skill/taming.js)
Added modification of some creatures stats after they've been tamed (js/skill/taming.js)
Added restrictions for who can ride certain creatures (Unicorn, Ki-Rin, Cu Sidhe)
Updated words of power for Meteor Swarm spell to follow the same logic as other spells using Kal (Summon): Kal Des Flam Ylem
Added new Item/Character JS Methods to get/set temporary custom tags which don't persist across worldsaves (or across reconnects, for players):
.GetTempTag( "tagName" )
.SetTempTag( "tagName", tagValue )
When applying HPMAX, STAMINAMAX AND MANAMAX DFN tags to new NPCs, their current HP, STAMINA and MANA properties will now be automatically updated to match
Fixed a server crash caused by empty speech messages sent from certain clients
Fixed a bug that prevented teleport locations in Felucca/Trammel from working properly
Updated calculations in code for duration and damage of existing poison strengths (1 - Lesser, 2 - Normal, 3 - Greater, 4 - Deadly) to match with ~Publish 15 (LBR/pre-AoS), and added another poison strength for monster usage (5 - Lethal)
The strength of the Poison and Poison Field spells is now based on the average of the caster's Magery and Poisoning skills, the distance from the target (Poison spell only) and the target's Resisting Spells skill. If caster is further away than 2 tiles from target, the poison strength always equals Lesser Poison, otherwise the following rules apply:
If caster's combined skill is higher than 100.0, poison strength equals Greater Poison, with 5% chance of Deadly Poison (if Poison spell) or Deadly Poison (if Poison Field spell)
If caster's combined skill is higher than 70.2, poison strength equals Greater Poison
If caster's combined skill is higher than 30.2, poison strength equals Normal Poison
If caster's combined skill is 30.2 or lower, poison strength equals Lesser Poison
If target resists spell, poison strength is reduced by 1 level, unless it's already at the lowest level
Fixed an issue that would would let players move faster than they should have been allowed to
Fixed misc issues with Party System:
Mana and Stamina should now update for Party Members when added to the party, when going in/out of range and when their stats update while in range
Players who get disconnected or relog should now find themselves back in the same party they were in previously
Added system messages to inform party members about updates to their party, and to let invited players know they've successfully joined a party (or rejoined, if relogging)
World saves now operate on the principle of only saving changes done since the last world save. Combined with the fact that NPCs in UOX3 are only active if there are players in the same/neighbouring map regions, shard owners may expect to see a decrease in world save times ranging from ~11% to ~99%, depending on how active and how spread out their player base is. If no changes have taken place since last save, saves are virtually instantaneous!
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:

Added new AI script for NPC hirelings (3204=js/npc/ai/hireling.js), who can be hired to follow the player around for a limited amount of time, and function the same way as pets. In addition to the regular pet commands, these speech commands are supported:
hire // The hireling will respond with the cost to hire them
dismiss // Replaces the "release" command for pets; will dismiss the hireling
patrol // The hireling will patrol between it's current location and a second targeted location nearby
move // The hireling will try to shuffle out of the way
fetch // The hireling will try to fetch a targeted item
drop // The hireling will drop to the ground all loot they're currently carrying
report // The hireling will report on the remaining time they're hired for
Added new NPC DFN tag used by code to detect hireling NPCs for the purpose of displaying context menus:
HIRELING // No additional value/data needed for tag
Added new context menu entries for Hireling NPCs, in addition to the ones for regular pets:
Hire // Can be used within 3 steps of the hireling, who will respond with cost to hire them
Dismiss // Replaces the "release" command for pets, will dismiss the hireling
Added HIRELING tag and SCRIPT=3204 to and updated stats of various NPCs that will be hireable:
m_fighter, f_fighter, m_beggar, f_beggar, m_peasant, f_peasant, m_sailor, f_sailor, m_pirate, f_pirate

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
Added new global js object (Timer) to make the use of character timers in JS more robust, with properties matching timer names from enum in source.
Properties:
.TIMEOUT // Time until next attack can be done in combat
.INVIS // Time until invisible character becomes visible
.HUNGER // Time until character grows more hungry
.THIRST // Time until character grows more thirsty
.POISONTIME // Time until next tick of poison damage
.POISONTEXT // Time until next message about suffering from poison

.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
Added new persistent NPC property to keep track of a pet's previous owners, whether those tamed the pet or had it transferred to them. Every time a pet is tamed, or is transferred to a new owner, this list is updated:
GenericList< CChar * > petOwnerList
Added new Character JS Method to check if a player is on a pet's owner list as a previous owner:
.HasBeenOwner( mChar )
Previous owners of a pet can re-tame it with guaranteed chance of success

Pets/hirelings can no longer be transferred to dead players
Pets/hirelings can no longer be transferred to NPCs

MAXFOLLOWERS=5 // Maximum pets/followers a player can have active at the same time. Used if control slots are disabled
MAXPETOWNERS=5 // Maximum number of different owners a pet can have over its lifetime before it becomes impossible to retame
Added new NPC property and NPC DFN tag that keeps track of how many pet control slots an NPC would take up if owned by a player:
UI08 controlSlots // source property
CONTROLSLOTS=# // DFN tag
Added new Character JS properties:
.ownerCount // Get the total number of owners a pet/hireling has had, based on NPC's petOwnerList
.controlSlots // Get/Set number of pet control slots an NPC will occupy

controlSlots
controlSlotsUsed
Updated NPC DFNs with default CONTROLSLOT=# tags
Increased the max distance from player that onSpeech JS event will trigger from 7 to 12
Updated how "all attack" and "all follow" commands for pets are handled. Now loops through all pets owned by character and executes command for each eligible pet
Fixed an issue where NPCs could follow characters in different worlds/instances than them selves
Updated default max amount of items that can be sold to NPC vendors from 5 to 250
Guards can no longer train players in skills
Updated equipment itemlists (dfndata/items/itemlists/itemlists.dfn) with blank entries to introduce some more variety in the type of clothes NPCs wear in general
Added new NPCs to DFNs (dfndata/npc/undead.dfn) and added them to undead npclist:
[skeletalmage] // variation of [bonemage]
[skeletalknight] // variation of [boneknight]
Updated Titles (dfndata/titles/titles.dfn) with up-to-date titles for skills around Pub 15, and added titles for skills added after that. Also added "Elder" and "Legendary" titles for 110 and 120 skillpoints
Updated EQUIPITEM tag in newbie.dfn (dfndata/newbie/newbie.dfn) to support an optional hue parameter (EQUIPITEM=id,hue)

Pets now inherit the karma of their owners, but revert to their original karma upon release
Pets and hirelings will no longer follow the ghosts of their dead owners, but stay to guard their corpse
Added optional 9th parameter for JS Function CreateDFNItem to specify a color for item created. This comes before the other optional parameters - worldNumber and instanceID (which are only used if character is NULL):
CreateDFNItem( mSock, mChar, sectionName, inPack, iAmount, itemType, iColor, worldNumber, instanceID )
Added ID of Giant Beetle to various pack animal checks
Pack animals will now drop any newbie/blessed items stored in their packs upon death

LOYALTY=# // Starts at 25
Updated TriggerEvent JS function to support return values (int, bool, string, object) from called script
Updated various JS scripts to make use of new TriggerEvent functionality and reduce reliance on custom tags:
js/item/archerybutte.js
js/item/trainingdummy.js
js/server/data/combatanims.js
js/server/data/weapontypes.js
Updated archerybutte script to use dictionary for system and text messages
Updated archerybutte script to support increased range, distance penalty and dex/str bonuses when calculating score
Added new UOX.INI settings under [pets and hirelings] section related to pet control and loyalty:
CHECKPETCONTROLDIFFICULTY=1 // Enable/Disable pet control difficulty system
PETLOYALTYGAINONSUCCESS=1 // Amount of pet loyalty gained on successful pet command use
PETLOYALTYLOSSONFAILURE=3 // Amount of pet loyalty lost on failed pet command use
PETLOYALTYRATE=900 // Amount of seconds between each time pet loyalty is automatically reduced by 1. Takes 25 hours to deplete completely from max
Added new persistent NPC property that keeps track of the difficulty of taming and controlling a pet, and exposed it as a Character JS property:
.orneriness
Every time a tamed pet is released or goes wild, its "orneriness" increases, making it more difficult for other players to tame, and more difficult for anyone to control.
Updated CBasePetResponse::canControlPet() function to use pet control difficulty system if enabled, which checks player's animal taming/animal lore skill vs a pet's "orneriness" to determine chance of pet accepting a given pet command
On successful use of pet command, increases pet loyalty by value defined in PETLOYALTYGAINONSUCCESS ini setting
On failed use of pet command, decreases pet loyalty by value defined in PETLOYALTYLOSSONFAILURE ini setting
Added new Character JS Method to calculate chance of a player successfully controlling the pet:
.CalculateControlChance( mChar ) // Returns value between 0 and 1000 indicating chance of success
Feeding a pet will now restore its loyalty to maximum
Pets will now lose loyalty on hunger checks when at maximum hunger
Pets that are maximum hungry will now only have a chance to go wild if loyalty has dropped to zero
Added new DFN tag for creatures.dfn - TYPE - which contains a string describing the type of creature

Updated code to use dictionaries for all system messages
Fixed incorrect spelling for UOX.INI setting HIDEW(H)ILEMOUNTED and updated hiding skill (js/skill/hiding.js) to actually allow/disallow hiding while mounted based on this setting
Added new Character JS Method to make it easier to make one NPC initiate combat with another:
.InitiateCombat( targetChar ) // Character attempts to initiate combat with target character
Updated parrying portion of combat code to be in line with Pub15/pre-AoS parrying mechanics. High AR shields now absorb more damage on a successful parry, while low AR shields have a higher chance of parrying. Shields are also now more effective against archery attacks (full absorption potential) than melee attacks (half absorption potential).
Updated combat damage calculations to be in line with Pub15/pre-AoS damage calculations
Adjusted default value of COMBATNPCDAMAGERATE ini setting (damage divisor when target is a player) from 2 to 1 to account for these changes.
Removed dictionary.UNK, and made dictionary.ZRO the default dictionary used for all unsupported languages
Added dictionary support for additional languages: Portuguese, Italian, Czech
Updated default dictionaries for the following languages: English, French
Added default dictionaries for the following languages: German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Czech (note that translations have been provided by automatic services and will contain inaccuracies!)
Added new UOX.INI setting to allow specifying a default dictionary language for server, which if set will force that language for all dictionary messages, regardless of client settings:
SERVERLANGUAGE=0 // Set default server dictionary language. Supported languages: 0 - None/language used by each client, 1 - English, 2 - German, 3 - Spanish, 5 - French, 6 - Portuguese, 7 - Italian, 8 - Czech
Added new function in combat.cpp - AdjustArmorClassDamage() - which adjusts the damage dealt in combat based on whether armour class (AC DFN tag or .ac JS property) of weapon and armour equipped on hit location of target match up. A weapon with armour class 1 would essentially be doubly effective against armour of armour class 1. Allows setting up things like piercing weapons being better against some armor types than mace weapons, etc.
Added new UOX.INI setting under [combat] to enable/disable double damage from armour class bonuses:
ARMORCLASSDAMAGEBONUS=0/1 //defaults to 0)
Fixed an issue with 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
Fixed an issue with CChar::RemoveAllObjectsFromSight(), which failed to remove nearby multis from sight, leading to ghost images when changing worlds/instances
Added check for other multis when sailing - boats will now collide with other boats!
Added check for dynamic items when sailing - boats will now collide with blocking objects
Added "wrapping" support for maps 0 and 1 when sailing, meaning a ship can sail around the world in both N/S and E/W directions.
Added new [magic] section in uox.ini with the following settings:
TRAVELSPELLSFROMBOATKEYS=1 // Toggle being able to travel via Recall and Gate spells directly to a boat via its key
TRAVELSPELLSWHILEOVERWEIGHT=0 // Toggle being able to travel via Recall and Gate spells when overweight
MARKRUNESINMULTIS=1 // Toggle being able to mark runes while inside multis. If enabled, runes marked inside multis will be associated with the multi in question, rather than a specific set of coordinates. If multi no longer exists, travelling to it via Recall or Gate will be impossible
TRAVELSPELLSBETWEENWORLD=0 // Toggle being able to travel via Recall and Gate spells from one facet to another
TRAVELSPELLSWHILEAGGRESSOR=0 // Toggle being able to travel via Recall and Gate spells when marked as an aggressor (if attacked an innocent first, or if criminal)
Fixed an exception that would only rear its head when running UOX3 in debug mode, by adding new function void CBaseObject::RemoveFromRefreshQueue(), which when called from the end of the Cleanup() process for an object will ensure it's removed from the refreshQueue (thanks giwo!)
Fixed several issues with the regional spawning system:
NPCs would quite often get created, only to be deleted shortly after because the system failed to find a valid spawn location. This part of the system has now been rewritten to look for a valid spawn location before actually spawning the NPC, to avoid unnecessary creation/deletion of characters
Spawn system would not continue looking for a valid spawn location past the first failure (when it was supposed to make 100 attempts before giving up)
Spawn system would not look for valid water tiles for ocean-based/amphibian creatures if valid land tiles could not be found. As a result, amphibian creatures that could have spawned on either land or water would only ever spawn on land.
DoesMapBlock() function checked for TF_BLOCKING tile flag before it checked if waterwalking was allowed and if tile had TF_WET flag. As a result, no purely ocean-based creatures would spawn at all because no valid spawn locations could ever be found
Added support for MultiCollections.uop. If present in the specified datafolder, this file will be preferred over the traditional multi.mul/idx files, and will enable access to the new multis contained within (punt)
Added dependency for static library of zlib-1.2.11, of which a minimal version is included in a subfolder alongside spidermonkey in the root UOX3 project folder. This is needed for compression matters related to UOP files and certain UO network packets
Added VS Solution (zlib.sln) to compile static-library of zlib-1.2.11 for Windows. Makefile for Linux/macOS also included.
Updated CMakeList.txt to include zlib references
Updated default DATADIRECTORY path in uox.ini to match current day default installation path of UO (thanks, dragonslayer!)
Fixed return value logic for onUseChecked/onUsedUnchecked JS events - was reversed by mistake!
Initiated start of revamped mul/uop handling, with some new files added to project: (punt)
MultiMul.cpp/hpp, IDXMul.cpp/hpp and UOPData.cpp/hpp
Updated code for loading and seeking in multis (punt)
Added new files to VS project and project filter
Added new files to source/CMakeLists.txt
Updated version number in uox3.rc
Co-Authored-By: Charles Kerr <punt1959@users.noreply.github.com>
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 some missing icons in dfndata/creatures/creatures.dfn
Updated server status HTML template page (dfndata/html/online.htf) to match other templates
Additional string handling modernization in magic.cpp, JSEncapsulate.cpp, jail.cpp, house.cpp, fileio.cpp, network.cpp, msgboard.cpp and mapstuff.cpp (punt)
Co-Authored-By: Charles Kerr <punt1959@users.noreply.github.com>
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):

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 option in UOX.INI under [settings] section:
MAPDIFFSENABLED=0/1 // If enabled, server will attempt to load diff files, and send "Enable Map-diff files" packet to client to also load these. Disabled by default.
Server no longer loads map/statics diff files by default, nor does it send packet to client to request loading these files, as only client versions below 7.0.8.2 will actively load these files. Can be re-enabled with new UOX.INI setting mentioned above!
Fixed incorrect ID for gargish dagger in CHandleCombat::getWeaponType()
Added missing weapon entries in CHandleCombat::getWeaponType(): bladed whip, barbed whip, spiked whip, gargish talwar
Fixed an issue that would show the end part of some tiledata names as garbled text instead of cutting off the text(!) at 20 characters
Fixed an issue with advanced character creation template when using ClassicUO client, which sends a profession value of 255 instead of 0 when no profession template has been selected.
Fixed an issue where clones of NPCs that can split in combat didn't get the NPC flag correctly set
Guild titles are now removed for players who leave their guilds
Enabled closing some hard-coded gump menus using right-click (howto, guild, towns, wholist, addmenu, craftmenu, info)
Fixed an issue where adding base items using 'add [itemID] would sometimes get false positive hits from harditems.dfn, depending on the length of the itemID
Fixed an issue where items added using 'add [itemID] would not get names applied properly from harditems.dfn
Item/NPC DFN tag GET can now inherit a random parent by adding additional values separated by spaces. Syntax:
GET=parent1 parent2 parent3 (etc)
Fixed an issue where NPC backpacks would not have the max item capacity set properly
Added new properties for CItem objects (also exposed as JS Item Properties):
maxRange // max distance a ranged weapon can fire at (replaces ARCHERRANGE ini setting)
baseRange // base distance throwing weapons (when implemented) can be used at
Added support for new Item DFN tag that replaces global UOX.INI setting ARCHERRANGE:
MAXRANGE=# // Specifies max range of ranged weapon
Added support for new Item/NPC DFN tags to support randomizing elemental resistances:
RESISTFIRE=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
RESISTCOLD=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
RESISTLIGHTNING=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
RESISTPOISON=#/# # // Set NPC's poison resistance; fixed or random value
Added support for two new DFN tags in dfndata/race/races.dfn that can be used to allow/ban lists of equipment for specific races
ALLOWEQUIPLIST=#
BANEQUIPLIST=#
Added support for new section in dfndata/race/races.dfn - [EQUIPLIST #], which can be used to define lists of equipment that is whitelisted or banned for specific races.
Fixed a bug that would report incorrect weight in tooltips for Item/NPC spawner objects
ScriptSections are now reapplied for items bought by players from NPC vendors
Fixed an issue where players could drop an item on the ground and other players would still see the item after it was picked up, because of a failed distance check vs old location coordinates (in pack) instead of vs current location on ground
Fixed a bug with players being able to use last-target macro to target objects picked up and held by other players on their cursor
Updated all references to "devinelock" to be "divinelock" instead - this includes the name of the JS Item property
Fixed house commands triggering (useless) targeting cursors for players onboard boats
Changed default statcap in UOX.INI from 325 to 225
Fixed a out-of-range error for players attempting to combine ore inside their own backpack
Fixed various issues with distance checks and container checks when using/target objects
Added optional 4th "hue" parameter to AddGump JS method
Added JS Function to get total amount of accounts on server - GetAccountCount()
Added JS Function to get total amount of players online - GetPlayerCount()
onSwing JS Event can now trigger in scripts attached to items, not just items attached to characters
Added some JS Functions to expose some hard-coded constants to JS scripts:
BASEITEMSERIAL() // Base item serial
INVALIDSERIAL() // Invalid serial
INVALIDID() // Invalid ID
INVALIDCOLOUR() // Invalid colour
Fixed an issue where JS character property .colour would modify origSkin property instead of colour
Fixed an issue where JS character property .guildTitle returned the name of the character instead of the guild title
Character JS property .poison can now also be used to set a character's poisoned level, not just read it
Exposed Item property to JS engine:
.ac // armour class for item (0-128). Primarily used for setting race-restrictions for equippable items, i.e. race X cannot equip items of armour class Y.
.def // defensive value of item (Physical resistance post-AoS, AR in older UO)
// NOTE: The following properties don't actually do anything yet, but can still be used in custom JS scripts if desired
.resistCold // Cold resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistHeat // Heat/Fire resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistLight // Light resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistLightning // Energy/Lightning resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%
.resistPoison // Poison resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%

.damagePoison // Weapon deals Poison elemental damage (true/false)
.damageRain // Weapon deals Rain/Water elemental damage (true/false)
.damageSnow // Weapon deals Snow/Ice elemental damage (true/false)
Added new UOX.INI setting under [server] to enable/disable shard response to ConnectUO server polling (disabled by default)
Sub-commands are no longer included when registering packets to be overloaded via RegisterPacket function, as that part was never fully implemented. Packet-hook scripts can be setup for specific packet IDs, but any sub-command checking will need to be done in the script itself
JS Packet Method GetDWord() now uses JS_NewNumberValue instead of INT_TO_JSVAL to read from the socket buffer, to better handle large numbers, which could previously be returned with wrong values.
JS Function CalcItemFromSer() now uses a JS_GetStringBytes() and str_value() combo instead of JSVAL_TO_INT() to read the data provided in the function argument. This allows JS scripts to provide item serials to the function directly without needing to split it into four parts first (though that still works)
Fixed issue where JS properties for multis didn't always return correct values
The 'set command can now be used to set the armour class of items ('set ac #)
Reimplemented 'tweak command in JS engine (js/commands/targeting/tweak.js) - can be used to view and modify properties of characters, character skills, items, multis and regions (target ground)
Added placeholder packet-hook script (js/server/network/0xf1_connectUoServerPoll.js) to handle responses to ConnectUO server polling. By default this script does nothing, but serves as a placeholder for drop-in replacement scripts generated specifically for each shard by the ConnectUO service.
Updated some commands to support an alternate STATIC keyword (can also be ommitted) to add base items:
'add static itemID
'tile static itemID
Updated some commands with support for randomization. Provided itemID will be randomized based on provided rndValue:
/js/commands/targeting/add.js:
'add itemID rndValue
cmdtable.cpp and targeting.cpp:
'tile itemID rndValue
'tile itemID x1 x2 y1 y2 z rndValue
Updated js/commands/custom/repeatingcmds.js to support 'm delete as an alias for 'rremove
Added 'props as an alias for the 'tweak command
Added 'teleport as an alias for the 'tele command (js/commands/targeting/tele.js)
Added 'shavehair and 'shavebeard as aliases for 'kill hair and 'kill beard (js/commands/targeting/kill.js)
Added 'noinvul and 'mortal aliases for the 'invul false command (js/commands/custom/misc-cmds.js)
Added 'immortal and 'invul (without parameter) as aliases for the 'invul true command
Added 'bringtopack as an alias of 'movetobag command (js/commands/targeting/movetobag.js)
Updated check for cancelling of target cursor in various JS scripts
Minor updates to various JS scripts
Fixed issue where some item definitions in dfndata/harditems/harditems.dfn and dfndata/items/building/lighting.dfn used comma instead of space as delimiter for the VALUE tag, which thus never got applied
Updated all NPC definitions to let NPCs spawn facing in random directions
Fixed an issue with NPC trainers where they would list incorrectly the available skills players could train
Fixed an issue where house key could not be used to open locked doors if key was not contained in root of player's backpack (UOX3/js/item/doors.js)
When NPCs in wanderTypes WT_BOX, WT_CIRCLE or WT_FREE are blocked too many times from moving by other characters, they will now pause for 60 seconds before attempting to move again
Exposed .oldWanderType NPC property to JS engine, and updated 'set command to also update this property when manually changing NPC wanderType
Reduced max attempts at calculating path for NPCs in wanderTypes WT_BOX, WT_CIRCLE or WT_FREE to 25 steps, unless they are evading and attempting to move back into their original wander box/circle
NPCs who enter "evasion" state because they are unable to find a valid path to an attacker will now have their health reset to maximum, to prevent an exploit to take down any NPCs without risk of taking any damage in return
JS Methods WalkTo() and RunTo() now actually make use of the provided maxSteps parameter when advanced pathfinding is enabled; previously it would default to 500 steps.
Added new JS event that triggers when an NPC enters evasion state in combat due to being unable to reach their target
onEnterEvadeState( mNPC, enemyChar ) // enemyChar would be the character they are unable to reach
Added a new command - 'cure - that can cure a targeted character of any poisons (UOX3/js/commands/targeting/stats.js)
NPCs of same race will no longer attack one another if hit by each other's AoE spells
Fixed an issue with NPC pathfinding in combat that prevented ranged NPCs from closing in on their targets when losing LoS
Spellcasting NPCs that cannot pathfind all the way to their target in combat will now attempt to pathfind to an area near the target instead
Fixed an issue that prevented tiller-men from being correctly associated with their boats after a server restart
Fixed an issue with combat where ranged characters could shoot bows further than the allowed max range for archery specified in uox.ini
