Another tiny update, coupled with a new version of UOX3 available from the downloads page.
Code: Select all
19/03/2012 - Xuri (0.99)
Fixed various errors in JS/MAGIC/level1targ.js
Added support (but no functionality) for Spellweaving, Imbuing, Mysticism and Throwing skills in code and skills.dfn)
Updated kindling.js and added bedroll.js (original by dragon slayer, rewritten by Xuri) to support secure logouts from camping
Updated dictionary-files with new system messages related to the camping-skill
Added container-gump support for container items like bones and various SE/SA-related containers
Corrected sound-effect played when dropping items into baskets of various kinds
Made cut-up-leather and furs pileable in DFNDATA/ITEMS/SKILLS/RESOURCES/leatherworking.dfn (dragon slayer)
Added additional lootlists for tinkerparts, instruments, tools, vegetables, clothing, reagents and potions in DFNDATA/ITEMS/lootlists.dfn (dragon slayer)
Updated JS/ITEM/food.js so bowls, plates, etc will be left behind instead of eaten along with the food (dragon slayer)
Added empty wooden bowls to DFNDATA/ITEMS/BUILDING/DECS/kitchen.dfn
Updated DFNDATA/MAPS/tiles.dfn with proper height-override values for rope ladders - should be 22 not 10
Fixed a bug where NPCs would continue following and attacking characters that turned invisible/hidden
Players who turn invisible will now stop swinging at nearby targets in combat
Fixed a bug where players could equip both one-hander and two-hander weapons at the same time
Fixed a bug where newly created characters could end with two conflicting weapons equipped at the same time
Added additional deed/boat-model IDs to "modelmulti"-list in DFNDATA/ITEMS/itemtypes.dfn to make these usable as house/boat-deeds
Added fix to properly set the mounted-state for NPCs that spawn with a mount-item pre-equipped
Fixed issue where there was no distance-check on Field-spells. They now use CombatMaxSpellRange setting from UOX.INI like other spells
Fixed issue where the wrong GFX would be displayed for Field-spells aligned north/south
Fixed issue where NPCs without fencing or swordsmanship would not be allowed to poison anyone in combat. Tough luck, spiders!
Fixed issue with some NPCs using invalid values for POISONSTRENGTH. The valid range of poisons goes from 1 (weak) to 4 (deadly).
Added three new sections to DFNDATA/NEWBIE/newbie.dfn - [DEFAULT ELF MALE], [DEFAULT ELF FEMALE] and [DEFAULT ALL]
Added item and character-direction to ISTATS and CSTATS commands in JS/COMMANDS/TARGETING/gumps.js
Fixed an issue where containers with specific MORE values were interpreted as being trapped. Trapped containers now use MOREZ instead of MORE.
Fixed some issues with boat-movement (drifting/turning left/right, in particular) being blocked in cases where it shouldn't be
Fixed an issue where boat-commands to drift left/right could be spammed to move boat at high speeds. Now limited to normal boat speed multiplied by 1.5
Fixed an issue where static water tiles would block placement of boats
Fixed Tillerman-location on large ships turned southwards
Fixed an issue with JS/NPC/AI/stablemaster.js where, in specific circumstances, claiming stabled pets by name didn't work
Nearby pets will now teleport along with their owner into/onto houses/boats when those are placed
Fixed some cases in JS/MAGIC/clumsy.js where it tried to send sysmessages through sockets, to NPCs - who have no such thing
Added torches to ProvisionerShopping shoplist in DFNDATA/ITEMS/shoplist.dfn
Moved TurnTorward() method in JS/ITEM/axe.js to after the area resource-check, so player only turns if there is chopping to be done
Reduced chance of creature-sounds playing slightly. The more creatures, the higher the chance a sound will play.
Parts of movement code rewritten to solve Z-related issues (xantier)
Fixed various other issues with the walking-code
Removed hacky workaround for bug with NPC pathfinding leading to queues of NPCs all lined up, replaced by proper pathfinding
Made some tweaks to various parts of the NPC pathfinding code
Reduced default maxSteps variable in advanced pathfinding routine from 1000 steps to 500 steps for performance reasons
The maxSteps variable will also increase/decrease depending on the type of movement the pathfinding is for
Added a safeguard against NPCs repeatedly failing at advanced pathfinding and slowing down the server as a result. Now resets their NPCWANDERMODE on critical failures.
Added an internal counter for NPCs called "failPath", which increases whenever the NPC is blocked from moving when server thinks it has a valid path.
Once it reaches a certain threshold, NPC can push past a blocking character, or alternatively stop whatever it's doing (fleeing, following, etc).
Advanced Pathfinding will now take into account characters blocking the way when generating valid paths - no more queued up NPCs in long lines!
Enabled pathfinding in water for water-walking creatures
NPCs that fail to pathfind while fleeing will abort fleeing and re-engage their opponent in combat
NPCs that fail to pathfind while in combat will abort combat and enter a state of "evasion" for a short time, during which
...Other characters wont block their movement
...They can't be attacked
...They won't attack anyone
...They'll try to move back to their bounding box, if they have one
Added some randomization in how NPCs pick their targets in combat, so not all NPCs pick the same target at the same time
MAX_VISRANGE and DEFSOCK_RANGE increased from 15 to 18 to better deal with item-updates in higher-resolution clients
JS events OnDeathBlow and OnDispel can now be used to override death and/or dispelling of summoned creatures (and magical fields), by returning false from the script
Note that for OnDeathBlow overriding code means that things like fame/karma-calculations and criminal/murderer-flags and timers need to be manually set in the script
Improvements to LineOfSight-code:
LoS no longer checks against a hardcoded list of items, but instead uses tiledata-flags (missing flags can be overriden through tiles.dfn)
LoS-checks will no longer be done for NPCs against targets that have visible status VT_PERMHIDDEN or VT_GHOSTHIDDED
LoS-checks should now work more consistently - no more NPCs aggroing players through walls! (Eolirin)
Note that this also has a benefit for server performance, as less aggroing NPCs mean less unneccesary attempts at NPC pathfinding!
Fixed incorrect offset on upstairs door in 2-story villa in DFNDATA/HOUSE/house.dfn
Added house-deed for Farmer's Cabin, and added this to the house-deeds itemmenu (DFNDATA\HOUSE\house.dfn and DFNDATA\ITEMS\ItemMenu.bulk.dfn)
Added support for INVISIBLE tag for house-items in DFNDATA\HOUSE\house.dfn. Allows adding invisible items to houses.
Added invisible wooden floor tile in second floor of 2 Story Log Cabin house to fix moving up rope ladder (DFNDATA\HOUSE\house.dfn)
Fixed sign-placement for 2 Story Log Cabin house (DFNDATA\HOUSE\house.dfn)
Updated methods for detecting client-versions for incoming connections, and how these are stored on the socket object
Added support for Stygian Abyss clients (classic version only, from v6.0.14.2 to 7.0.8.2)
Added support for High Seas clients (classic version only, from v7.0.9.0 to 7.0.15.1?)
Added support for creation of SA-specific Gargoyle-characters if client and server support this through CLIENTFEATURES and SERVERFEATURES bits
NOTE: Gargoyle-specific features and/or special-cases are not yet implemented! Highly experimental.
Added support for the SA-specific map (map5.mul - Termur) to DFNDATA/MAPS/maps.dfn
Added support for extended itemIDs (0x3FFF to 0xFFFF) used in SA and HS clients. Maximum supported depends on size of tiledata run on the server.
Added support for reading new versions of tiledata.mul and multi.mul. No settings needed, version-handling taken care of automatically.
Added support for New Object Information packet (0xF3) via CPNewObjectInfo packet class.
This replaces packet 0x1A in client-versions 7.0+, and enables displaying items and multis with IDs extending beyond 0x3FFF
Added support for packet 0xD7, SubCommand 0x28 - Guild button on paperdoll, which gives access to guild-functions if character belongs to a guild.
Can be enabled/disabled through UOX.INI setting PAPERDOLLGUILDBUTTON=0/1. Defaults to 0.
Updated packet 0x88 to properly show combat-status of character in paperdoll
Updated packet 0xBA (Tracking Arrow) for HS clients - from 6 bytes to 10 bytes, to include target serial.
Updated packet 0x99 (Multi Placement) for HS clients - from 26 to 30 bytes, to include multi hues.
Added new NPCAI for passive NPCs who can be attacked, but will never attack back: AI_PASSIVE = 7
Updated Wall of Stone-spell to no longer place walls on the same tiles as where characters are standing
Added brute-force updating of character's total weight when main backpack is opened, as a quick-fix for broken character weights
Updated packet 0xA9 (Character List/Starting Locations) with UO:SA and UO:HS-specific handling.
Updated packet 0x24 (Draw Container, from 7 to 9 bytes) to support Container Type-flag in UO:HS clients, to ensure that containers, spellbooks and vendors continue working.
Changed the upper limit for the amount of stamina that can contribute to faster attack-speeds (for NPCs only) from 100 to 300
This increases their maximum theoretical attack-speed from attacking every 1.5 seconds to roughly every 0.75 seconds
Fixed incorrect Meditation skill-entry for lich NPCs (DFNDATA\NPC\undead.dfn) - was set to max 9500 (950.0), should have been 950 (95.0)
Earthquake-spells will no longer affect mounted targets, animation-wise
Added new UOX.INI option to determine whether attack-speed bonuses are gained from Stamina (default) or Dexterity: ATTACKSPEEDFROMSTAMINA=1/0
Added new UOX.INI option to control the displaying of damage-numbers in combat (previously used DISPLAYHITMSG for numbers too): DISPLAYDAMAGENUMBERS=1/0
Implemented better support for Yell (1.5 * normal speech distance) and Whisper (1 tile distance for players, 3 for GMs)
Whispering will no longer take hidden players out of hiding
Normal players can no longer see regular speech from permanently hidden GMs or Counselors
Normal players can see whispers from permanently hidden GMs or Counselors, if they're within distance (3 tiles)
Added a new section to UOX.INI - [clientsupport] - along with the following settings to determine approved client-versions for the server:
CLIENTSUPPORT4000=0/1
CLIENTSUPPORT5000=0/1
CLIENTSUPPORT6000=0/1
CLIENTSUPPORT6050=0/1
CLIENTSUPPORT7000=0/1
CLIENTSUPPORT7090=0/1
CLIENTSUPPORT70160=0/1
CLIENTSUPPORT70240=0/1
NOTE: Each of these settings represent a range of clients, not just the individual versions mentioned. This means that CLIENTSUPPORT4000, for instance,
will allow or disallow connections from clients 4.0.0 to 4.0.11f. Also note that while it is possible to enable support for all clients at the same time,
it highly recommended to restrict support for client versions that match up to what the server is running.
Fixed various issues with the skill-gump (crashes) and skill-locks (not working/showing weird gumps instead of arrows/lock)
Added new UOX.INI option: EXTENDEDSTARTINGSTATS=0/1
If enabled, makes new characters start with 90 statpoints (selectable in clients 7.0.16.0+ only, lower versions only get 90 if using templates) instead of 80.
Added new UOX.INI option: EXTENDEDSTARTINGSKILLS=0/1
If enabled, allows for four starting skills (selectable in clients 7.0.16.0+ only, lower versions only get 4th skill if using templates) instead of three
Added (very) experimental support for UO:Enhanced clients v4.0.23.1+
Did some minor code-cleanup stuff, including but not limited to:
Reduced scope of some local variables to where they are actually needed/used
Changed some const std::strings function parameters to references instead of values
Changed some "stuff.size() == 0"-checks to "stuff.empty()"
Changed some "stuff.size() != 0"-checks to "!stuff.empty()"
Removed some variables that were initialized but never used
Increased world-loading speeds by ~35-40%, and saving by ~30-35% (your mileage may vary, this was tested on Windows 7, on an SSD)
Included <climits> in mapstuff.h and <stdlib.h> in cDice.cpp to fix a compiling issue in Linux
Updated some JS Console Methods in JS/COMMANDS/consoletest.js
Made the WIPEABLE bit a member of cBaseObj instead of cItem, so it can be used by both items, spawners, characters and multis - though only works for items and spawners atm
Updated the 'WIPE command to not delete non-wipeable items and spawners
Fixed a crash-bug in JS/COMMANDS/gumps.js where the 'ISTATS command could crash the server if used on a spawner-object with no spawnsection set
Fixed read-only books (setup through DFNDATA/MISC/books.dfn) by updating the MORE dfn-tags in DFNDATA/ITEMS/MISC/books.dfn
Implemented support for automatically renaming books when the book titles are updated by players
Fixed broken Bulletin Boards - should no longer freeze the client, and can actually be used for posting messages again
Disabled MsgBoardMaintenance() in CWorldMain::CheckAutoTimers() until someone can figure out why they break bulletin boards
Added a new NPCLIST (escorts) to DFNDATA/NPC/npclists.dfn, and an NPC escort spawner to DFNDATA/ITEMS/GMMENU/spawners.dfn (dragon slayer)
Added Ter'Mur Map Area (REGION 250) to DFNDATA/REGIONS/regions.dfn
Added code to shut down UOX3 (instead of crashing later on) if it fails to load any regions from region DFN scripts
Changed all references to MAP in DFNDATA/REGIONS/regions.dfn to WORLD (which unlike MAP is actually read by UOX3 in this file)
Fixed an issue in JS/SKILL/TAILORING/scissors.js where the script was referencing socket, but should have referenced pSock (dragon slayer)
Updated JS/teleport.scp with teleport-locations for new maps (dragon slayer)
Updated JS/teleport.scp with fixes for a whole bunch of old locations, and added some missing ones
Added layers to DFNDATA/ITEMS/MISC/jewelry.dfn (dragon slayer)
Added ML-era weapons to JS/SERVER/DATA/weapontypes.js (dragon slayer)
Added code-support for SA-era weapons, and added them to JS/SERVER/DATA/weapontypes.js and JS/jse_objectassociations.scp
Updated House-gump in DFNDATA/MISC/gumps.dfn (dragon slayer/Blue Dragon)
Updated JS/ITEM/sword.js to use CreateDFNItem instead of CreateBlankItem for raw fish steaks and kindling (dragon slayer)
Added cutting hides into leather through JS/SKILL/TAILORING/scissors.js (dragon slayer)
Added MAPUOPWRAP tag to DFNDATA/MAPS/maps.dfn - only used by clients 7.0.24+
Added support for reading map#LegacyMUL.uop files (regular map#.mul files with a uop header) in clients 7.0.24+
Fixed an issue where an NPC knowing too many skills could crash UOX3 if when listing them in response to a player
Players can now train skills from NPCs using the "train <skill>" phrases.
Corrected coordinates for REGION 75 (Destard)
Disabled detection of keypress "0" in JS/CONSOLE/console.js so UOX3 will actually reload all scripts when pressing 0
Moved reloading of JS/teleport.scp from the already slow DFN-reload (console option 7) to the much faster Regions-reload (console option 4)
Fixed an issue where some creatures with ANTIBLINK tag set in UOX3/DFNDATA/CREATURES/creatures.dfn would play get-hit animations as attack-animations
Added numerous creatures to DFNDATA/CREATURES/creatures.dfn, though some only have placeholder icons and sounds.
Updated various UOX3 documentation (installation, configuration, server-settings, JavaScript docs)
Very cool.
