Implemented feature negotiation with Razor (and other tools like it), based on method described in this old forum post.

Code: Select all

11/08/2020 - Xuri
	Added support for feature negotiation with Razor, AssistUO and other assistant tools that support this feature via new UOX.INI settings:
		ASSISTANTNEGOTIATION=0 		// If enabled (1), sends a request (packet 0xF0) to negotiate features with assistant tools upon login. Defaults to (0)
		KICKONASSISTANTSILENCE=0 	// If enabled (1), disconnects clients that don't respond (with packet 0xF0) to request via assistant tool within 30 seconds. Defaults to (0)
	Added new section at bottom of UOX.INI to allow shard admins to control which assistant features get disabled:
		[disabled assistant features]
		{
		AF_FILTERWEATHER=0 		// Weather Filter
		AF_FILTERLIGHT=0 		// Light Filter
		AF_SMARTTARGET=0 		// Smart Last Target

11/08/2020 - Xuri
	Added an FX playing for successful uses of the parrying skill

	Updated dictionary files with new entry about blocking attacks using parrying skill
	Fixed placing a house addon teleporting player to the location of the addon
	Added support for TELEPORT tag to regions.dfn. If set to 0, use of the Teleport spell is not allowed in a given region. Defaults to 1 if not specified.
	Exposed canTeleport JS property for regions
	Updated regions.dfn to disable usage of Teleport spell within level 3 of the Wisp dungeon

12/08/2020 - Xuri
	Embraced the usage of R32, R64, SI16, UI16, SI32, UI32, SI64 and UI64 typedef aliases as replacement for built-in types throughout the sourcecode:
		typedef float				R32;
		typedef double				R64;
		typedef signed char			SI08;
		typedef unsigned char		UI08;
		typedef signed short int	SI16;
		typedef unsigned short int	UI16;
		typedef signed int			SI32;
		typedef unsigned int		UI32;
		typedef signed long long	SI64;
		typedef unsigned long long	UI64;
	As part of this process, UI32 was redefined from unsigned long int to unsigned int, and SI32 from signed long int to signed int to ensure the size of variables using these remain the same (32bit) across both Windows, Linux and MacOS for both 32bit and 64bit platforms
	Replaced instances of toLong() with toInt(), and toULong() to toUInt()
	Replaced instances of "long" and "int" with SI32 where possible
	Replaced instances of "unsigned long" and "unsigned int" with UI32 where possible
	Replaced instances of "float" with R32 where possible
	Fixed an issue with void CSpawnRegion::SetNPCList() and void CSpawnRegion::SetItemLIst() that could cause compilation to fail on Linux

	Misc changes to address errors and warnings when compiling on 64bit Linux
		%li changed to %i
		%lu changed to %u

14/08/2020 - Xuri (0.99.2n)
	Replaced platform specific ways of looking up and loading DFN files in cServerDefinitions.cpp with a common, cross-platform method using std::filesystem. This also fixes an issue with loading of map0.mul on Linux when maps.4xclients.old is present in dfndata/maps/ directory (thanks, punt!)

Code: Select all

15/08/2020 - Xuri
	Updated healing.js to disallow usage of healing skill if target is in a house/multi not owned by either healer or healee
	Fixed broken starting locations in UOX.INI
	Fixed an issue with CPSendGumpMenu::AddText() that caused guildstones and townstones to crash server when used
	Fixed an issue with CTownRegion::DisplayTownMenu() that prevented players from joining a town when interacting with a townstone for the first time

[Xuri]

Code: Select all

21/08/2020 - Xuri (0.99.2o)
	Added support (UOPInterface.cpp/hpp) for loading map files in UOP format, allowing UOX3 to use
		map files from clients up to at least v7.0.86.2 without requiring files to be converted to
		mul format first. Loading of UOP files is slower than for equivalent mul files, but after
		startup, the performance of lookups remains the same for both (punt)
	Updated TWEAK, INFO in code and ISTATS, CSTATS in gumps.js to display 4-digit hex-ids for IDs
		consistently in the format of 0x####
	Fixed issue that would disconnect ClassicUO users if they used WorldMap feature in the client,
		via CPIKrriosClientSpecial() handler in CPacketReceive.cpp/h, which will handle all things
		packet 0xF0. As of yet it doesn't respond correctly to the WorldMap-related version of the
		packet, but at least it no longer disconnects this client from the server.

Code: Select all

24/08/2020 - Xuri (0.99.2p)
	Improvements to handling of UOP format; now takes a cleaner approach, loads files faster (punt)
	Fixed a issue in JS/COMMANDS/TARGETING/add.js that would display 'undefined' in system message when adding raw/base items
	Updated default jail time in JS/COMMANDS/TARGETING/jail.js (and in code) from 100000 seconds to 86400 seconds (24 hours)
	All references in code and scripts to "midi" changed to "music", to reflect fact that modern clients don't actually even have midi files. This change covers both GM commands, DFN tags in regions.dfn and JS methods/properties.
	Added new socket property for storing temporary int in JS - tempInt2
	Added new socket property for storing temporary object in JS - tempObj2
	Expanded XGO command in JS/COMMANDS/TARGETING/x.js to support optional world and instance parameters
	Fixed an issue that prevented characters from vanishing from the the sight of players when teleporting to a different instance
	Added support for ClassicUO client's WorldMap tracking packet (0xf0) for guildmembers/partymembers. This is the same packet as Razor uses for feature negotiation, so merged the handling of those two packets together into CPIKrriosClientSpecial, which can also be extended to handle other uses of this packet.
	Added new UOX.INI setting  whether shard should respond to ClassicUO client's WorldMap tracking packets for guildmembers/partymembers
		CLASSICUOMAPTRACKER=0

	Updated RandomNum function to use a "seedless" random number generator from C++11 instead of the old C rand() function. (punt)
	Overall code cleanup to remove/replace platform-dependent code (punt)
	Replaced potentially unsafe usage of C string stuff like sprintf, vsprintf, vsnprintf, strncat, strcpy and strlen throughout the code with calls to a format() function containing only a single, safe use of vsnprintf, ensuring there's a single place of failure if there's anything to fix and and making it easy to potentially replace this with std::format from C++20 when the time comes. (punt)
	Replaced usage of char in many places with std::string (punt)
	Started process of replacing UString usage with functions provided through StringUtility instead (punt)
	Replaced platform specific fileIO handling in Windows/Linux with cross-platform C++17 standard std::filesystem (punt)
	Replaced platform specific time handling by using cross-platform chrono library (punt)
	Removed UOX namespace to reduce complexity (punt)
	Elimitated template code approach to singletons for more modern c++ constructs, removing dependices in the process (punt)

	Removed some platform specific files like uoxlinux.h, which is no longer required (punt)
	Removed legacy crash protection code, and removed support for cluox (punt)
	Removed legacy "support" for Borland compiler (punt)

	Paths in uox.ini should now load properly on all platforms regardless of whether those paths use slashes or backslashes, and whether or not they end in a slash/backslash. (punt)
	Moved to c++17 style of threading, and got rid of threadsafeobject.cpp/h (punt)
	Replaced parsing of UOX.INI tags with a system that's more easily maintainable (punt)
	Added some new commands to js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js (Xuri)
		cont		// Targeted item will be made a container, set to nondecay and movable 2
		endfight	// Targeted character (and character being fought) will stop fighting
		getmulti	// Get multiObject for targeted item
		finditem	// Find item at layer X
		movespeed	// Set movement speed of target player (0x0 Normal, 0x1 Mounted, 0x2 Slow (walk only), 0x3 Hybrid ("jog"?), 0x4 Frozen)
	Added new HTML based documentation in docs folder, and removed many old legacy docs that are either incorporated into this document already or no longer relevant for the current UOX3 version (Xuri)
