|
|
7 | - optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be |
|
|
8 | skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions). |
|
|
9 | - complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |
|
|
10 | to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |
|
|
11 | to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes |
|
|
12 | one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). |
|
|
13 | - complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: |
|
|
14 | there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged |
|
|
15 | attacks. |
|
|
16 | - introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged |
|
|
17 | or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as |
|
|
18 | needed. |
|
|
19 | - rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage, |
|
|
20 | attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat |
|
|
21 | bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill |
|
|
22 | so its damage increases with level. |
|
|
23 | - rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now |
|
|
24 | works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts. |
|
|
25 | - implement a utility - cfutil - that simplifies arch and map |
|
|
26 | installation, replacing the old collect scripts and |
|
|
27 | simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required. |
|
|
28 | - simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage |
|
|
29 | of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely. |
|
|
30 | - implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from |
|
|
31 | other archetypes. |
|
|
32 | - rationalise archetype, region and treasurelist file format |
|
|
33 | into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously. |
|
|
34 | - make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap) |
|
|
35 | reloadable at runtime. |
|
|
36 | - implement 64x64 faceset support. |
|
|
37 | - implement fxixsx protocol that saves |
|
|
38 | a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets |
|
|
39 | and allows images > packetsize, incremental and background |
|
|
40 | transfers. |
|
|
41 | - implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works |
|
|
42 | on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis. |
|
|
43 | - the server can now rate-limit image uploads to not exceed |
|
|
44 | a certain (client-configurable) speed while guarenteeing full |
|
|
45 | freedom of movement. |
|
|
46 | - implement new ex command to request item descriptions. |
|
|
47 | - implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta |
|
|
48 | information (using xml). |
|
|
49 | - enforce utf-8 for all text messages. |
|
|
50 | - added micropather (not used yet). |
|
|
51 | - many, many bugfixes. |
