04/03/2023 - Xuri (0.99.6-RC3)

• 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:
  • EraStringToNum( eraString ) // Takes an era string (uo, t2a, uor, td, lbr, aos, etc) and returns an int
• 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
• Exposed the following character properties to JS engine, which can be used to view/adjust the permanent hair/beard options for a character:
  • .hairStyle
  • .hairColour
  • .beardStyle
  • .beardColour
• Updated 'kill hair, 'shavehair, 'shavebeard and 'remove commands to clear permanent hair/beard colour and style properties in addition to removing the item itself
• 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
• Fixed NOHAIR tag from races.dfn not being loaded correctly

• Reduced combat message spam; attacking messages now only appear when attacking targets who are not already fighting the attacker
• Added a new character state - "passive combat mode" - primarily used by players when they tab out of combat. Tabbing out of combat will prevent the character from retaliating in combat if they're already fighting someone
• Fixed several issues with dropping items through floors, tables and generally not being placed correctly when dropped inside multis
• Hard-defined the Z-level at which some jewellers in Britain spawn to deny them rooftop access (spawn_felucca_town_britain.dfn and spawn_trammel_town_britain.dfn)
