Added Features:
Implemented Travel Restriction (js file): Introduced a new JavaScript file to manage travel restrictions within the game. This feature ensures that players adhere to specific limitations when moving between regions.
Reagent Check (js file): Added a JavaScript file to perform reagent checks during gameplay. This functionality enhances the game's mechanics by validating the availability and correct usage of reagents for specific actions.
Check Teleport (js file): Introduced a JavaScript file responsible for validating teleportation mechanics. This addition ensures that teleportation features operate smoothly and efficiently within the game environment.
Updated Dictionaries: Enhanced game dictionaries to improve data accuracy and provide a more seamless gaming experience. The updates include refined descriptions, optimized search functionalities, and improved data retrieval.
Acknowledgments:
Extended thanks to Xuri: Gratitude expressed to Xuri for contributions to the core C++ functionality. Specifically, Xuri's work on the core for GetRegionXY has significantly improved the overall performance and reliability of the game.
Bug Fixes:
[If applicable] Fixed Magic Weapons Damage Calculation (js Magic_Items): Resolved an issue where the damage calculation for Magic Weapons was not set correctly during generation. This fix ensures that Magic Weapons now accurately calculate damage based on the specified settings.
These changes aim to enhance the overall gaming experience, improve system functionalities, and address any existing issues reported by the community.
Cleaned up a couple of warnings highlighted by static code analysis
Fixed an issue with NPC evasion pathfinding where the direction wasn't always set correctly
Fixed an issue with onNameRequest JS Event where the size of param jsval (2) didn't match actual number of parameters provided (3)
Removed setting uoxTimeout.tv_usec to 1 in CNetworkStuff::CheckLoginMessage() to address slower core loop iterations on Windows, due to differences in timer resolutions supported by WinSock2 function select() on different platforms - tv_usec 1 is treated as 1 microsecond on Linux/macOS, but as 1 millisecond on Windows
Removed arbitrary and hidden restrictions on refreshing list of online players shown with 'wholist command
Fixed an issue where player ghosts that get teleported would not see themselves get updated to new location
Fixed a server crash from clients disconnecting while running server in debug mode
Improved how container updates are sent to players; now only sends to clients that have actually opened the container, and who are still within range
Added more information about UO data files being loaded during server startup
Enhanced the GM 'add menu to allow clicking directly on images of items/npcs to add them, and adjusted size of menus to accommodate this
Fixed an issue with fleeing NPCs that could cause them to attempt to flee across time and space, regardless of distance to target/attacker in combat
Added NPC AI that runs away from players if they get too close (even outside combat). Applied to hind, rabbits, squirrels, ferrets and various birds by default:
AI_ANIMAL_SCARED (aitype 12)
Fixed issues with NPCs fleeing forever, or getting stuck in flee/don't flee loop, by introducing max fleeing distance (50 tiles) and cooldown (30 sec) on fleeing
Updated onNameRequest JS Event to include third parameter with origin of name request, so script responses can be tailored appropriately:
onNameRequest( myObj, requestedBy, requestSource )
Potential values for requestSource:
0 - Speech/System Messages
1 - Guild Menus
2 - Stat Window (self)
3 - Stat Window (other)
4 - Tooltip
5 - Paperdoll Journal
6 - Paperdoll
7 - Single Click / All-Names
8 - System
9 - Secure Trade Window
Added Adaptive Performance System (APS) that dynamically adjust how often NPC AI/movement is checked based on overall shard performance. If performance drops below defined threshold, UOX3 gradually slows down checks for NPC AI/movement to prioritize player movement/speech/command responsiveness. If performance climbs back up above threshold, slowdowns are gradually removed. The following UOX.INI options have been added under [system] category to support this system:
APSPERFTHRESHOLD=50 // Performance threshold (measured in simulation cycles/sec) below which the APS kicks in
APSINTERVAL=100 // How often (in milliseconds) the APS checks performance and makes adjustments (if needed) to balance out shard performance
APSDELAYSTEP=50 // How much the delay timer is modified by (in milliseconds) each time APS makes adjustments
APSDELAYMAXCAP=2000 // Max amount of of delay APS can introduce for NPC AI/movement handling when attempting to restore shard performance
Added new JS Methods for Region objects:
.GetOrePrefs( oreType ) // Get ore preference data for ore type found in town region. Returned as an array containing the following data:
orePrefData -> [
oreName, // name of ore
color, // color of ore
minskill, // min skill to mine ore
ingotName, // name of ingot created from ore
makemenu, // makemenu entry for crafting something from ingot
oreChance, // default global chance of finding this ore type
scriptID // script attached to mined ore
],
orePrefChance // Chance of finding this ore type in given town region
.GetOreChance() // Get base chance of finding any ore in town region
Moved Mining skill plus gravedigging feature from hard code to scripts (js/skill/mining.js) to make it easier to maintain and/or customize, and removed hard coded variants
Gravedigging now relies on the ore resource system behind the scenes to restrict how often graves in a given area can be dug up
Fixed some incorrect references to .worldNumber Character property in misc scripts (should be .worldnumber)
Made some "hard-scripted" system messages in misc scripts use dictionary system instead
Added spawn region for banker NPCs in Serpent's Hold (dfndata/spawn/felucca/spawn_town_serpents_hold.dfn, dfndata/spawn/trammel/spawn_town_serpents_hold.dfn)
Fixed region definition of Ocllo to actually cover the entire town (dfndata/regions/regions.dfn)

Updated onPickup JS Event to include a third parameter - the potential container item was picked up from. Event now also triggers event in scripts attached to said containers:
onPickup( iPickedUp, pChar, iCont )
Added tracking of total playtime per individual character, and per account across all characters, and exposed these properties to JS engine:
.totalPlayTime // Account property, total playtime across all chars
.playTime // Character property, total playtime on given character only
Added new player-accessible command ('playtime) to spit out the playtime of current character/account as a whole (js/commands/playtime.js)
Implemented first version of Young Player System:
Replaced the UNUSED9 account flag with YOUNG, to be used by Young/New Player System
Added new JS Account property that gets/sets whether player account is considered Young:
.isYoung

Young characters cannot target other player characters with hostile spells or skills
Young characters cannot be the target of other player characters' hostile spells or skills
Young characters can only cast beneficial spells upon themselves or other Young characters

Updated Healer AI in code to heal nearby injured Young players
Updated Evil AI and Evil Caster AI in code to avoid selecting Young players as targets in combat outside of dungeons
Added a new section to UOX.INI - [young player starting locations] - that can be used to define starting locations for Young players. If only one such location is provided, all players start there. Otherwise, it matches the same starting location setup as the regular one - with one entry per town in Britannia.
Restricted transferring and/or friending of pets (code) and hirelings (hirelings.js) between Young and non-Young players
Restricted Young players from recalling or gating to Felucca facet
Young players can instantly logout from anywhere, at any time

Added two new NPCs, which there will now spawn one of in a random location in each city in Britannia (felucca facet):
m_thief_guildmaster (dfndata/npc/male_human.dfn)
f_thief_guildmaster (dfndata/npc/female_Human.dfn)
Added two new character properties to keep track of which NPC guild a player (or NPC) belongs to. These properties have been exposed as the following Character JS properties:
.npcGuild // ID of NPC guild, as defined in script
.npcGuildJoined // Timestamp for when player joined NPC guild
Added script for Disguise Kits (js/item/disguisekit.js). These allow members of the Thieves Guild to disguise themselves from the prying eyes of other players.
Added two new character properties:
.isDisguised // true/false flag for character being disguised
.origName // used to store character's original name before disguise went into effect
Moved implementation of Stealing skill from code to script (js/skill/stealing.js) and revamped it completely in the process. Changes include:
New features:
Town rare stealing - any item marked as "special stealable" with new item property .stealable can be stolen, even if it's locked down by a GM on the ground, or inside a container
When stealing from item piles, thief can potentially steal the amount of items that makes up the max weight limit for what they can steal, from those piles
Chance to successfully steal is now affected by whether there are any characters (NPCs or Players) that witness the attempt. Depends on distance to character, and direction character is facing
Players now become "permagrey" when successfully stealing from another player, regardless of whether it's witnessed
Players now receive a "stealing" flag when stealing from another player, regardless of whether it's witnessed

Only members of Thieves Guild (NPC guild) can now steal from other players, unless they are guild enemies
Players can no longer steal from NPC guards by default
Players can no longer steal from the same NPC monster more than once
Only gold and gems can be stolen from innocent players in dungeon/ll areas of Felucca, if core shard era is set to AoS or higher

Return stolen items on thief death (off by default)
Temporarily make stolen items immovable in thief's backpack (on by default post-AoS)
Temporarily protect traded items (on by default)
Let dexterity affect chance for successful theft (off by default)
Let light level affect chance for successful theft (off by default)
Allow stealing from NPC Guards (off by default)
Allow stealing special loot from monsters (on by default post-ml)
Moved implementation of Snooping skill from code to script (js/skill/snooping.js), with some changes:
Players cannot snoop pack animals from inside a house, if the animal is outside
The deeper inside main backpack a container sits, the harder it becomes to snoop inside it
Included an optional feature that lets targets of snooping gradually become more aware, increasing the difficulty of succeeding. This awareness fades over time.
Players have a chance to stay hidden while snooping, based on their Hiding skill
Karma is now lowered by snooping regardless of success or failure
Added tracking system for "aggressors" in combat. A player attacking someone (regardless of flag status) will be marked as aggressor to that someone for 2 minutes
Added tracking system for "permagrey" flags - these are stored on a per-target basis, so a player can be flagged visibly as permagrey to multiple other players. Persists until player dies.
Player combat targets and war mode are now cleared on logout
Players will now be unable to hide if within visual distance and in line of sight of their attacker or current target in combat
Server leave-announcement now only happens after the logout timer has expired, instead of the exact moment the player presses the logout button
Fixed an issue that could cause swimming NPCs to swim on land
NPCs now have the ability to temporarily ignore unreachable targets in combat. If attacked by someone they are ignoring, they will enter evade state and try to move away from that someone.
SpawnRegions now support NPCLISTS with weighted entries. Example of an NPCLIST with 75% chance of spawning some kind of orc, and 25% chance of spawning a ratman archer:
[NPCLIST example]
{
75|NPCLIST=allorc
25|ratman
}
Added 3 additional "all purpose" item properties (.more0, .more1 and .more2) and exposed those to JS engine. These work the same as more/morex/morey/morez
Mark spell now stores a 4th property on recall runes - instanceID. This is stored in the rune's .more0 property.
Recall and Gate spells now check the recall rune (or runebook)'s 4th location property - instanceID - to determine where the player ends up
Fixed a server crash related to equipment being automatically unequipped if character is no longer strong enough to have it equipped
Added new JS Function to check if any characters at specified location potentially block movement:
DoesCharacterBlock( x, y, z, worldNum, instanceID ) // returns true if a character exists at given coordinate (within z +/- 4)
Fixed an issue with patrolling-portion of hireling script - was incorrectly using Z coordinate as a parameter of WalkTo - should be maxSteps (js/npc/ai/hireling.js)
Added error checking to .WalkTo() and .RunTo() JS Methods that cancels pathfinding attempt if maxSteps provided is zero
Swapped around order of arguments in ScriptError() function in cScript.cpp, so the const char used by va_start() is now the last named argument (thanks ldilley!)
Fixed a socket error with 'move command alias in js/commands/targeting/tele.js (thanks Dragon Slayer!)

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

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)

Added some safeguards against server crashes in onNameRequest() and onTooltip() JS Events
Updated Item DFNs with ORIGIN and SECTIONID tags for relevant items
Added JS Function to make comparing eras (based on object origin or server settings) easier:

Updated some JS scripts to use EraStringToNum() for era comparisons (potionkeg.js)
Default CORESHARDERA setting is now LBR
Removed PUB15 as a separate "era" - it's identical to late stage LBR anyway:
Removed support for GETPUB15 tag
Added support for GETUO tag for items/NPCs:
GETUO=<sectionID> // Inherit DFN section if core shard era is Ultima Online (original release, before T2A)
Rewrote portions of MsgBoardQuestEscortCreate() function in msgboard.cpp to ensure only escort regions within same world as NPC can be selected as destinations
Increased maximum number of possible escort regions that can exist from 255 to 65535
Added region definitions for all shrines in Britannia (Fel & Trammel), and marked them as valid destinations for NPC escorts (uox3/regions/regions.dfn)
Moved bankers from vendor to human DFN files, and made them inherit basehuman instead of basevendor - since they are not vendors
To address an issue with escorted NPCs not timing out and vanishing if they are left in a "dormant" area of the world with no player activity, the NPCs are marked as "always awake" the moment they arrive at their destination. Note that the uox.ini setting ALLOWAWAKENPCS needs to be enabled for this to work.
Fixed an issue where spawnsection of spawners did not show up correctly in tweak menu
Fixed an issue where the generic Orc AI script didn't have a return true at end of onDamage() event, which prevented all orcs from taking damage in combat (js/npc/ai/monster/orc.js)
Moved Anatomy skill-check in healing script (js/skill/healing.js) from onCallback1() function to onTimer() to prevent the skill-check from being spammable
Added mount ID for Frost Mite in creatures.dfn, allowing it to be used as mount

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

ORIGIN // Store reference to which expansion/era of UO an item/NPC originated in
Added new Item/Character JS property:
.origin // Get reference to expansion/era of UO an item/NPC originated in
Fixed an issue with IsInBuilding JS Function which could only handled a limited subset of instance ID values
Corrected name of tag used to attach scripts to ore types - from SCRIPTID to SCRIPT
Implemented potion kegs; these can be crafted by carpenters/tinkerers, and can be used to store potions at a fraction of their original weight (Dragon Slayer)
Only the owner (if locked down), the current holder (if in backpack) or someone who have previously taste identified a potion keg may add additional potions to it (Xuri)
Potions dropped from monsters and bought from stores are unidentified by default, but can be identified by players using the taste identification skill. (Xuri)
Potions crafted by players are identified by default for all to see (Xuri)
Releasing locked down items in houses now set the items as movable (1) instead of client default (0) (Xuri)
Added socket as another parameter to the onToolTip JS event
Fixed an issue with onDyeTarget event where the dyetub and target object parameters were not set properly
