	Added new JS event that triggers when pathfinding comes to an end after using WalkTo/RunTo JS methods:
		onPathfindEnd( mNPC, pathfindResult ) // pathfindResult returns result of pathfinding (-1 = failure, 0 = partial success, 1 = success)

	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.

Code: Select all

22/03/2021 - Xuri (0.99.4d)
	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 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

	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

		.resistHeat // Heat/Fire resistance of item 0-1000, where 1000 equals 100.0%

		.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 '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)

	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

24/03/2021 - Xuri
	Custom tags can now be set for multis in dfndata/house/house.dfn via the DFN tags CUSTOMSTRINGTAG and CUSTOMINTTAG, which can be read later for a placed multi via JS Item method GetTag( tagName ). Syntax is identical to custom tags in Item/NPC definitions:
		CUSTOMSTRINGTAG=tagName stringValue
		CUSTOMINTTAG=tagName intValue
	Definitions for multis in dfndata/house/house.dfn now support the COLOUR and COLOURLIST tags, which will (if present) be applied to new multis that are added in-game. Colour for existing multis can be modified via the 'tweak command.

	Added missing entries for normal and greater explosion potions to dfndata/items/magic/potions.dfn, and added them to the item menu
	Potions are now marked as stackable in dfndata/items/magic/potions.dfn
	Moved countdown and explosion handling of explosion potions from code to JS (js/item/potion.js)

	Added optional Alchemy skill bonus damage modifier for explosion potions, defaults to 1 additional damage per 5 skillpoints
	Added new UOX.INI settings under [combat] to control the bonus damage modifier in explosion potions:
		ALCHEMYBONUSENABLED=0/1	// enable/disable bonus damage, defaults to disabled
		ALCHEMYBONUSMODIFIER=5 	// bonusDamage = alchemySkill / alchemyBonusModifier
	Exposed speechType as an additional 7th optional parameter for the JS TextMessage function, and the other optional parameters (speechTarget, speechTargetSerial, speechFontType) can now be supplied as -1 if one just want to use the default values. Supported speechTypes:
		TALK			= 0,	// normal system message
	    PROMPT			= 1,	// Display as system prompt
	    EMOTE			= 2,	// : text
	    SAY				= 3,	// character speaking
	    OBJ				= 4,	// at object
	    NOTHING			= 5,	// does not display
	    SYSTEM			= 6,	// text labelling an item
	    NOSCROLL		= 7,	// status msg, does not scroll
	    WHISPER			= 8,	// only those close can here
	    YELL			= 9,	// can be heard 2 screens away

08/04/2021 - Xuri (0.99.4e)
	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

	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):
		'get [objectProperty]
	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

		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

	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

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)

13/04/2021 - Xuri (0.99.4f)
	Option to define how much memory JS engine should be allowed to allocate before last-ditch GC kicks in has been moved from engine.dat to a new UOX.INI setting under [server]. Note that too low values can lead to server instability, especially if doing a lot of JS engine reloads, so default value has been increased from 16 to 256 MB per JS Runtime:
		JSENGINESIZE=256 // gcMaxBytes limit in MB per JS Runtime. Must be between 16 and 4095
	Reduced stackchunksize value provided for JS_NewContext from 0x500000 to the recommended default of 8192
	Updated how players are paid for completing NPC escort quests; instead of hard-coded random amount between 0-600 gold, the reward is now based partly on the NPC escort's fame, and partly on the amount of gold the NPC is carrying. The formula for quest rewards thus look like this: rewardAmount = (( totalFame / 100 ) * 50 ) + ( totalGold * 0.25 )
	Fixed healthbars of nearby characters not showing correctly for players who have just logged in. Cause seems to have been UOX3 reading more bytes from network buffer than required when (not) handling packets 0xB5 and 0xFB. Added basic handling of these packets to avoid that problem.
	Fixed an issue where UOX3 would send full status updates (packet 0x11) for each character on the screen, rather than just sending the minimum required for each character. Client doesn't need to know the weight of an NPC, or how much gold an opponent player is carrying!
	Fixed an issue with tooltips for characters and/or items not always appearing, caused by UOX3 not responding correctly to certain tooltip requests (packet 0xD6)

		.isSlot4Blocked 	// Is character slot 4 blocked?
		.isSlot5Blocked 	// Is character slot 5 blocked?

		'addaccount [username] [password] [(optional)flags]
	Updated 'get command to allow retrieving certain account properties for targeted player characters:
		username, flags, comment, character1, character2, character3, character4, character5, character6, character7, lastIP, isBanned, isSuspended, isPublic, isOnline, isSlot1Blocked, isSlot2Blocked, isSlot3Blocked, isSlot4Blocked, isSlot5Blocked, isSlot6Blocked, isSlot7Blocked, unused9, unused10, isSeer, isCounselor and isGM
	Updated 'set command to allow setting certain account properties for targeted player characters:
		comment, password, isBanned, isSuspended, isPublic, isOnline, isSlot1Blocked, isSlot2Blocked, isSlot3Blocked, isSlot4Blocked, isSlot5Blocked, isSlot6Blocked, isSlot7Blocked, unused9, unused10, isSeer, isCounselor, isGM

	Fixed invalid ID for items [0x0174] and [0x0175] in dfndata/items/building/walls/stone_walls.dfn
	Updated FileSize() function in regions.cpp to fetch file size using std::filesystem::file_size() instead of creating an input stream, opening a file and then trying to seek the last position in the file
	Added findNearbyObjects() function to findfuncs.cpp, to find all objects (characters and items) of CBaseObject class near a specified location
	Improved performance when initializing multis on startup; now checks for items near multis, instead of checking for multis near every single item!
	Improved performance when loading items and characters from worldfiles during startup; around 33% faster for release builds, around ~50% faster when running in debug mode through visual studio (punt)
	Updated createSection() in ssection.cpp to use std::string and StringUtility functions instead of UString, and added some error handling (punt)
