- implement *tag destinations for goto, slaying etc. and use it |
4 |
|
|
in some of the maps. |
5 |
|
|
- fixed an important bug that caused passwords to be forgotten. |

2.2 Tue Sep 11 15:41:24 CEST 2007 |
8 |
root |
1.24 |
- relicense under the gnu affero license. |
9 |
root |
1.25 |
- new inscription skill, can only inscribe INSCRIBABLE items. |
10 |
root |
1.24 |
- implement server-side framework for generic resources. |
11 |
|
|
- use resource framework for server-provided ambient |
12 |
|
|
music. |
13 |
root |
1.27 |
- save object owners (players only atm). |
14 |
root |
1.24 |
- replace limited sound api with server-provided sound effects. |
15 |
|
|
- new sc (sound control) protocol command. |
16 |
|
|
- improve fxix protocol to include types. |
17 |
|
|
- exactly fill tcp segments, if possible. |
18 |
|
|
- output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically |
19 |
|
|
(and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring |
20 |
|
|
low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.). |
21 |
|
|
- implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled |
22 |
|
|
in the server side). this will allow future expansion without |
23 |
|
|
having to upgrade clients. |
24 |
|
|
- implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position |
25 |
|
|
tracking. |
26 |
|
|
- new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd |
27 |
|
|
protocol). |
28 |
root |
1.26 |
- fixed lots of underflow/overflow bugs in diseases and general stats |
29 |
|
|
calcluation that could be easily exploited by users. |
30 |
|
|
- rebalanced diseases to spread more naturally/evenly. |
31 |
|
|
- completely asynchronous map loading even for tiled maps. |
32 |
root |
1.24 |
- replace simple messaging protocol with channels carrying metadata |
33 |
|
|
(similar to message types, but more directed at the user). |
34 |
|
|
- reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by |
35 |
|
|
reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly |
36 |
|
|
reduces lag by 120ms. |
37 |
|
|
- actually send spell faces to the client. |
38 |
root |
1.23 |
- implement player genders. |
39 |
root |
1.24 |
- unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset, |
40 |
|
|
otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out |
41 |
|
|
was for too long. |
42 |
|
|
- fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack). |
43 |
|
|
- greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_. |
44 |
|
|
- archetypes are now subclasses of objects. |
45 |
|
|
- rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic |
46 |
|
|
(and likely match the actual intention). |
47 |
root |
1.23 |
- implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold, |
48 |
|
|
italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc. |
49 |
root |
1.24 |
- implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints. |
50 |
|
|
- implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki. |
51 |
root |
1.23 |
- implement generic message framework that uses xml, utf8 for the client |
52 |
|
|
protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information. |
53 |
root |
1.21 |
- implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. |
54 |
|
|
- replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
55 |
|
|
better than the newbie house. |
56 |
root |
1.18 |
- fix the magicmap colours. |
57 |
root |
1.19 |
- optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
58 |
|
|
- decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
59 |
|
|
- implement observe command. |
60 |
root |
1.20 |
- major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord |
61 |
|
|
calls with a simple comparison. |
62 |
|
|
- fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the |
63 |
|
|
map refresh did not update the mapspace. |
64 |
root |
1.24 |
- support custom keys for regions and maps, regions are now |
65 |
|
|
refcount-managed. |
66 |
|
|
- allow worldmap overlays anywhere in the 000..999 range. |
67 |
|
|
- new system to acquire time slices for background jobs, to reduce |
68 |
|
|
jitter. |
69 |
root |
1.27 |
- semi-persistent object-referencing framework (currently only players |
70 |
|
|
supported). |
71 |
root |
1.22 |
- dependency tracking for perl extensions. |
72 |
root |
1.24 |
- new slag-ex extension for cleaning cauldrons. |
73 |
|
|
- fix invoke result processing. |
74 |
|
|
- there are even less i/o syncpoints in the server now. |
75 |
root |
1.29 |
- added map-tags extension that scans all maps for object tags |
76 |
|
|
and records them in the database (not used yet). |
77 |
root |
1.28 |
- metaserver 2 support. |
78 |
root |
1.22 |
- many more bugfixes and minor optimisations. |
79 |
root |

80 |
root |
1.15 |
2.1 Sun May 27 04:21:29 CEST 2007 |
81 |
root |
1.14 |
- optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be |
82 |
|
|
skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions). |
83 |
root |
1.12 |
- complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |
84 |
|
|
to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |
85 |
root |
1.13 |
to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes |
86 |
|
|
one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). |
87 |
root |
1.10 |
- complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: |
88 |
|
|
there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged |
89 |
|
|
attacks. |
90 |
|
|
- introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged |
91 |
|
|
or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as |
92 |
|
|
needed. |
93 |
|
|
- rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage, |
94 |
|
|
attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat |
95 |
|
|
bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill |
96 |
|
|
so its damage increases with level. |
97 |
|
|
- rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now |
98 |
|
|
works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts. |
99 |
root |
1.6 |
- implement a utility - cfutil - that simplifies arch and map |
100 |
|
|
installation, replacing the old collect scripts and |
101 |
root |
1.9 |
simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required. |
102 |
|
|
- simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage |
103 |
|
|
of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely. |
104 |
root |
1.6 |
- implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from |
105 |
|
|
other archetypes. |
106 |
|
|
- rationalise archetype, region and treasurelist file format |
107 |
|
|
into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously. |
108 |
root |
1.9 |
- make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap) |
109 |
|
|
reloadable at runtime. |
110 |
root |
1.6 |
- implement 64x64 faceset support. |
111 |
|
|
- implement fxixsx protocol that saves |
112 |
|
|
a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets |
113 |
root |
1.11 |
and allows images > packetsize, incremental and background |
114 |
|
|
transfers. |
115 |
root |
1.6 |
- implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works |
116 |
|
|
on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis. |
117 |
root |
1.7 |
- the server can now rate-limit image uploads to not exceed |
118 |
|
|
a certain (client-configurable) speed while guarenteeing full |
119 |
|
|
freedom of movement. |
120 |
root |
1.8 |
- implement new ex command to request item descriptions. |
121 |
|
|
- implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta |
122 |
|
|
information (using xml). |
123 |
root |
1.9 |
- enforce utf-8 for all text messages. |
124 |
root |
1.13 |
- added micropather (not used yet). |
125 |
root |
1.6 |
- many, many bugfixes. |
126 |

128 |
root |
1.1 |
- make coroapi accessible to cf+. |
129 |
|

130 |
|
|
- per player maps are now marked in the map |
131 |
root |
1.2 |
- maps are saved completely differently now, |
132 |
|
|
and much more often. |
133 |
root |
1.17 |
- rewrote map header parser and writer, to be much faster. |
134 |
pippijn |
1.4 |
- maps and players are now (in the average case) loaded |
135 |
root |
1.2 |
and saved completely asynchronously, I/O contention will no |
136 |
|
|
longer freeze the server. |
137 |
pippijn |
1.4 |
- players and maps can be loaded anytime, without the player |
138 |

144 |
|

145 |
|
|
- better message for apply failures due to applymode |
146 |
|
|
- removed most all of the weather code |
147 |
|
|

148 |
