	and NPCs fight back when they get attacked with a spell.

Anyone else having trouble actually getting in and working properly? I can login fine, but either a) I cannot see any items I'm wearing or b) I cannot *do* anything once in. 2d and 3d, 5.0.1i and j, nothing works. Clean checkout of CVS too.

Hmm works fine here

I've been decorating my ass off the past few days (done Moonglow, Serpents Hold, Magincia, just started on Ocllo) and UOX3 has been running more or less constantly, with no problems whatsoever.

Btw, giwo - you forgot to commit the updated cScript.cpp ;P

Code: Select all

[color=yellow]16th February, 2006 - Maarc (0.98-3.3i [3.4 BETA])[/color]
	Committed some fixes to giwo's last commit (missed some changes in cScript.cpp that was blocking people from compiling)
	Removed a lot of commented stuff.  Dead code that's not used any more and things like that have been reduced
	Begun damage/healing tracking support.  All places in C++ code should be covered (will need to update JS engine).  Healing and damage is now tracked per character, so that they can find out who has damaged/healed them the most.  If healing/damage hasn't occurred in the past 5 minutes, they get taken off the list
	An offshoot of the damage tracking stuff is a change to combat.  Fame/karma/kills has been moved into CBaseObject, because in future, we'll look at tracking fame/karma/kills updates for weapons and armour (so if you kill repeatedly with a sword, the sword's kill count increases)
	Much of the fame/karma/kills stuff isn't done, and currently, we don't take advantage of the damage tracking.  Future progressive updates will help with karma/fame parcelling on death, and to help NPCs make smarter decisions in combat
	Broke out packet 0xBF into a CPI class of it's own.  Rather than making it a huge monolithic class, it internally hands it off to other packet handling classes

Gives a build error using VC6:

...\projects\uox3\source\cChar.cpp(5026) : error C2374: 'i' : redefinition; multiple initialization

Edit, and when commenting the second loop out I get the following error:

...\projects\uox3\source\CDataList.h(168) : error C2065: 'sort' : undeclared identifier

Xuri... has anyone told you recently that you ROCK!?

As for cScript.cpp... heh... yeah... sorry 'bout that. I've been playing with some changes to the JS handling so I've gotten used to skipping over that file when merging... silly me.

Maarc: I've been testing my changes pretty religiously and never had issues logging in. I haven't even gotten the login refresh issue since we disabled the loginthread.

Actually giwo, my fault, is was a dodgy change I had made yesterday during some of my cleanup. In my zeal to get rid of commented code, I sort of, well, accidentally, umm, deleted real code

So the skills packet was always being sent out short, and so the client was locking up. Found the problem before I committed though

	Added cMapStuff::inBuilding() function to determine wheter a given set of coordinates
	is inside a building. It does this by checking whether there is a static or multi above
	the coordinates.
	Added inBuilding() and SetInBuilding() functions to CChar and set it on movement and
	teleport.
	Use the new inBuilding() function to stop/start weather effects as soon as a player
	enters or leaves a building.
	Send the light level and weather status directly after a player log's in.

	Fixed some bugs in calculating the heat/cold damage in doWeatherEffect().
	Rain now lowers the current temperature by 5, a storm by 10.
	Moved the sending of the light level and weather status from startChar() into
	CChar::Teleport() by adding a force forceUpdateLight option to checkRegion().

	Rewrote the doLightEffect() function, it now uses the current light level to
	scale the light damage, it also respects the LIGHTLEVEL setting from races.dfn
	and it will stop doing light damage if you are inside a building.
	Added a the possibility that a char gets hit by a lightning during a storm,
	this is controlled by the LIGHTNINGAFFECT, LIGHTNINGDAMAGE and LIGHTNINGCHANCE
	settings in races.dfn.
	Added storm to the IsRaceWeakToWeather() JS function.

	Light and weather effects now also work on NPCs.
	Added 3 new JS events:
		onLightChange( mChar, lightLevel )
		onWeatherChange( mChar, weatherId )
		onTempChange( mChar, temperature )
	These events also work on the global script id and get called for players and NPCs.

Examples for those 3 events:

Code: Select all

function onLightChange( pChanging, newStatus )
{
	var socket = pChanging.socket;
	if( socket )
	{
		socket.SysMessage( "The current light level is: " + newStatus);
	}
	else
	{
		pChanging.TextMessage( "The current light level is: " + newStatus);
	}
	return;
}

function onWeatherChange( pChanging, newStatus )
{
	var socket = pChanging.socket;
	if( socket )
	{
		socket.SysMessage( "The current weather is: " + newStatus);
	}
	else
	{
		pChanging.TextMessage( "The current light level is: " + newStatus);
	}
	return;
}

function onTempChange( pChanging, newStatus )
{
	var socket = pChanging.socket;
	if( socket )
	{
		socket.SysMessage( "The current temperature is: " + newStatus);
	}
	else
	{
		pChanging.TextMessage( "The current light level is: " + newStatus);
	}
	return;
}

	Fixed an issue causing the Snooping skill not to function.
	Fixed an issue causing GM Polymorph Menu not to function correctly.
	Fixed an issue causing Doors not to be added to the house they were part of.
	Moved the Multi check to containers specifically rather than on any item use, to enable use of house signs and doors from outside.

	Stopped saving the weather type in regions.wsc, this prevented changes from regions.dfn to apply.
	Make use of the SNOWINTENSITY, RAININTENSITY and STORMINTENSITY from weatherab.dfn, they are now
	used in calculating the damage a char takes from these elements. The damage is scaled by calculating
	a random number between 0 and the intensity, this number is then used as a percent value against
	the damage value in races.dfn.

Have I told you guys lately how much you ROCK!? I nearly have a tears in the corners of my eyes here from all the love UOX3 has gotten recently, and I haven't been this excited since I got my first magic silver weapon of vanquishing! ;P

Keep up the good work, everyone!

No pressure, mind - take your time
