45 |
(by Job Vranish). |
46 |
- added a few party spells (by Job Vranish). |
47 |

49 |
for animation and will only destroy/lastframe when hp < 0. |

62 |
didn't work. |
63 |

64 |
effects (w.r.t. put_more) per mapspace, to give the server a chance |
65 |
to survive a hundred deathsheads. |
66 |

67 |
disastrous bug of unfortunately unknown proportions... |
68 |

70 |

75 |
- use better dependency tracking for include/keyword.h. |

80 |
(cf. cunning gnome freezeing issue). |

106 |

107 |
- make monster smell logic dependent on their wisdom stat. |
108 |
- put the death reason into a separate tab. |
109 |
- converted "connected" slot to string, cleanly got rid of some ugly |
110 |
hacks such as the path_attuned hack. |
111 |

whether the right cauldron is used. |
116 |
- considerably optimise shared string implementation by |
117 |
making its null value a compiletime constant. |
118 |
- use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places, |
119 |
as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently, |
120 |
for lots of code size savings. |
121 |
- monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when |
122 |
they are sleeping: generators now check for the sleeping flag. |

2.74 Mon Dec 29 15:23:38 CET 2008 |
132 |
- fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters |
133 |
at map boundaries apart. |
134 |

135 |
he/she makes noise. |
136 |
- fix being able to see through walls a bit. |
137 |
- improve look at output. |
138 |
- completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant |
139 |
of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary |
140 |
shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code. |
141 |
- the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens |
142 |
other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations. |
143 |
- update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when |
144 |
removed (e.g. for summon fog). |
145 |
- permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise: |
146 |
implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player |
147 |
when he/she makes noise. |
148 |

149 |
players. |
150 |

156 |
- (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and |

darkforest freely on the worldmap, to get gradual sight obstacles |
158 |
instead of total blackout in those areas. |
159 |
- no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore. |
160 |
- add more hints, fix some messages. |
161 |
- fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them. |
162 |
- make light additive even within players. |
163 |
- darken xrays effect a bit. |
164 |
- improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing |
165 |
objects, not perfect yet. |
166 |
- make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow |
167 |
ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset. |
168 |
- revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also |
169 |
tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness. |
170 |
- implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead |
171 |
of dumbly just clearing los once. |
172 |
- speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one, |
173 |
and has a smaller runtime variance. |
174 |
- daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit, |
175 |
making them actually useful. |
176 |
- see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3. |
177 |
- implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20% |
178 |
speedup, as well as in many other places. |
179 |
- remove support for extended map infos - these are not used |
180 |
by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup |
181 |
when sending map changes. |
182 |
- remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well |
183 |
as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code. |
184 |
- optimise and simplify generation of random numbers. |
185 |
- correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to |
186 |
avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code. |
187 |
- fix volume calculations. |
188 |
- fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by |
189 |
newlines. |
190 |
- increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3. |
191 |
- remove old pickup modes. |
192 |
- remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working |
193 |
anyways). |
194 |
- fix a crash when an npc applied a sign. |
195 |
|
196 |

213 |
- use circular, not rectangular, viewing area. |
214 |
- use minimum viewing distance of 2 in outdoor maps. |

|
372 |
2.55 Sat May 24 19:52:52 CEST 2008 |
373 |
- avoid newmap commands when crossing tiled map boundaries. this speeds up |
374 |
processing considerably (especially in the client) and reduces data transfers |

390 |
|
391 |
2.54 Thu May 8 22:01:22 CEST 2008 |

395 |
and for attacking monsters. it also takes about one second to do a jump. |

411 |
- support cfpod in ex replies (client item tooltips). |
412 |

|
457 |
2.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008 |

- completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix |
459 |
all "ghost" item bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :) |
460 |
- completely automate the weight handling, should fix all weight |
461 |
accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :) |
462 |
- reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase |
463 |
could crash the server. |
464 |

to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles |
466 |
automatically by lower level code. |
467 |
- replace many ad-hoc checks for client visibility by object::visible_to, |
468 |
should result in broader applicability of functions using it. |
469 |

470 |
(due to archetype reloads). |

when mlockall has been used. |
540 |
- pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls. |

543 |
number of gettimeofday calls. |
544 |
- use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency. |
545 |

554 |
|
555 |

556 |
- get rid of YAML::Syck, it's too buggy and misparses many files |
557 |
(this fixes the jeweler skill). |
558 |
- back-to-back perl_reloads don't freeze the ticker anymore. |
559 |
- convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...). |
560 |
- move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if |
561 |
it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as |
562 |
proof that the player didn't use a savebed). |
563 |
|
564 |
2.4 Sun Jan 13 13:41:29 CET 2008 |

589 |
- limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped |
590 |

591 |
(this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog). |
592 |

593 |
- switch from Event to EV for higher performance, easier usage, |
594 |
less bugs... |

600 |
- avoid backtraces due to old spells on some maps, sometimes causing |
601 |
crashes. |
602 |
- fix a problem where facedata wasn't initialised to zero properly, |
603 |
potentially causing crashes. |
604 |
- assign weapons on user load time, not login-time, avoiding |
605 |
crashes. |
606 |
|
607 |

609 |
- implement *tag destinations for goto, slaying etc. and use it |
610 |
in some of the maps. |
611 |
- bigworldised many maps (islands as in pupland and aldwulf), |
612 |
which is now trivial to do. |
613 |
- removed all traces of the old (and never working) plug-in interface |
614 |
(70kb code less on amd64). |

631 |
- replace limited sound api with server-provided sound effects. |
632 |
- new sc (sound control) protocol command. |
633 |
- improve fxix protocol to include types. |
634 |
- exactly fill tcp segments, if possible. |
635 |
- output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically |
636 |
(and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring |
637 |
low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.). |
638 |
- implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled |
639 |
in the server side). this will allow future expansion without |
640 |
having to upgrade clients. |
641 |
- implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position |
642 |
tracking. |
643 |
- new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd |
644 |
protocol). |
645 |
- fixed lots of underflow/overflow bugs in diseases and general stats |
646 |
calcluation that could be easily exploited by users. |
647 |
- rebalanced diseases to spread more naturally/evenly. |
648 |
- completely asynchronous map loading even for tiled maps. |
649 |
- replace simple messaging protocol with channels carrying metadata |
650 |
(similar to message types, but more directed at the user). |
651 |
- reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by |
652 |
reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly |
653 |
reduces lag by 120ms. |
654 |
- actually send spell faces to the client. |
655 |
- implement player genders. |
656 |
- unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset, |
657 |
otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out |
658 |
was for too long. |
659 |
- fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack). |
660 |
- greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_. |
661 |
- archetypes are now subclasses of objects. |
662 |
- rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic |
663 |
(and likely match the actual intention). |
664 |
- implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold, |
665 |
italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc. |
666 |
- implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints. |
667 |
- implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki. |
668 |

669 |
protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information. |
670 |

671 |
- replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
672 |
better than the newbie house. |
673 |

674 |
- optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
675 |
- decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
676 |
- implement observe command. |
677 |
- major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord |
678 |
calls with a simple comparison. |
679 |
- fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the |
680 |
map refresh did not update the mapspace. |
681 |
- support custom keys for regions and maps, regions are now |
682 |
refcount-managed. |
683 |
- allow worldmap overlays anywhere in the 000..999 range. |
684 |
- new system to acquire time slices for background jobs, to reduce |
685 |
jitter. |
686 |
- semi-persistent object-referencing framework (currently only players |
687 |
supported). |
688 |
- dependency tracking for perl extensions. |
689 |
- new slag-ex extension for cleaning cauldrons. |
690 |
- fix invoke result processing. |
691 |

693 |
and records them in the database (not used yet). |
694 |
- metaserver 2 support. |
695 |
- many more bugfixes and minor optimisations. |
696 |
|
697 |
2.1 Sun May 27 04:21:29 CEST 2007 |
698 |
- optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be |
699 |
skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions). |
700 |
- complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |
701 |
to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |
702 |
to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes |
703 |
one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). |
704 |
- complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: |
705 |
there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged |
706 |
attacks. |
707 |
- introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged |
708 |
or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as |
709 |
needed. |
710 |
- rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage, |
711 |
attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat |
712 |
bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill |
713 |
so its damage increases with level. |
714 |
- rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now |
715 |
works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts. |
716 |
- implement a utility - cfutil - that simplifies arch and map |
717 |
installation, replacing the old collect scripts and |
718 |
simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required. |
719 |
- simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage |
720 |
of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely. |
721 |
- implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from |
722 |
other archetypes. |
723 |
- rationalise archetype, region and treasurelist file format |
724 |
into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously. |
725 |
- make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap) |
726 |
reloadable at runtime. |
727 |
- implement 64x64 faceset support. |
728 |
- implement fxixsx protocol that saves |
729 |
a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets |
730 |
and allows images > packetsize, incremental and background |
731 |
transfers. |
732 |
- implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works |
733 |
on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis. |
734 |
- the server can now rate-limit image uploads to not exceed |
735 |
a certain (client-configurable) speed while guarenteeing full |
736 |
freedom of movement. |
737 |
- implement new ex command to request item descriptions. |

2.0 Tue Mar 6 15:22:53 CET 2007 |
745 |
- make coroapi accessible to cf+. |
746 |
- moved map handling logic completely to perl |
747 |
- per player maps are now marked in the map |
748 |
- maps are saved completely differently now, |
749 |
and much more often. |
750 |
- rewrote map header parser and writer, to be much faster. |
751 |
- maps and players are now (in the average case) loaded |
752 |
and saved completely asynchronously, I/O contention will no |
753 |
longer freeze the server. |
754 |
- players and maps can be loaded anytime, without the player |
755 |
being logged in. |
756 |
- automatically generate method interfaces for perl from headers |
757 |
- unbundled freezethaw |
758 |
- mostly rewrote common/map.C |
759 |
- completely rewrite server/swap.C |
760 |
- introduced "runtime", the CCT clock (corrected crossfire time) :) |
761 |
- introduced new keyword for map files: file_format_version (integer, server version: 0) |
762 |
- better message for apply failures due to applymode |
763 |
- removed most all of the weather code |
764 |
- unified logging to stderr and file |
765 |
- too many minor changes to document |
