|
4 |
TODO: move_on/move_off events? |
5 |
TODO: ->living accessors for matches! |
6 |
- fixed a classical and exploitable stack buffer overflow in the gsay command. |
7 |
- add @check, @find npc dialogue commands. |
8 |
- (maps) add a number of town interiors. |
9 |
- (maps) add tindervale the fireborn capitol from cfextended. |
10 |
- (server,arch) add a number of inscribables, show their capacity in hint. |
11 |
- (server,maps) fix bug causing some library books not to be chained down, |
12 |
cause Scorn/Navar libraries not to have inscribable books. |
13 |
- (maps) fix bug causing the Greyshield and Greysword to have |
14 |
inappropriate item power. |
15 |
- improve the look of generated books. |
16 |
- make slag no_drop so it can't be dropped from the cauldron. |
17 |
- fix bug where players could bypass no_drop by putting items in containers. |
18 |
- consecutive commands arriving at the same time in the server would be |
19 |
corrupted if the length was >255. |
20 |
- support sub-matches in () inside match expressions, not just conditions. |
21 |
- got rid of motd/rules/news code in C++ part, move motd to it's own tab |
22 |
and perl. |
23 |
- implemented new "match" type that combines both check_inv and pedestal |
24 |
functionality (and more) inside the same object using the match expressions. |
25 |
- create simpler match expression compiles in many common cases. |
26 |
- reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member. |
27 |
- removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage |
28 |
of the new dynbuf::splice function (which gave an unexpected net win |
29 |
in code size...). |
30 |
- the server will no longer complain (and subtly fail) when an object |
31 |
being removed from a map causes another object to get removed. |
32 |
- banish strncpy from the server, speed up and simplify sending item |
33 |
descriptions to the client considerably. |
34 |
- add new "in head" set modifier for matches. |
35 |
- new BLOCKED_MOVE event added. |
36 |
- mapscript archetype now has activate_on_xxx true by default, as similar |
37 |
connected elements. |
38 |
- (maps) imported all styles from crossfire-extended except |
39 |
floorstyles/land_plots and monsterstyles. |
40 |
|
41 |
2.81 Mon Oct 12 20:00:18 CEST 2009 |
42 |
- display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls, |
43 |
but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators). |
44 |
- fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags |
45 |
2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where |
46 |
and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this |
47 |
allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to |
48 |
walk on. |
49 |
- fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code. |
50 |
- examining an object now dumps the serialised object form when the user |
51 |
is a wizard (wizlook). |
52 |
- altars no longer accept unpaid items. |
53 |
- party spells didn't work all that well. |
54 |
- added complex object matching framework (cf::match), and make altars |
55 |
and pedestals use it. |
56 |
- identified skill-tools show what skill they grant. |
57 |
- display the duration of change_ability spells when examining them |
58 |
(missing: protection spells, but they are a hack...). |
59 |
- improve effectiveness of special foods created by woodsman skill, |
60 |
adding more variety to the different mushrooms. |
61 |
- fix a minor cfpod formatting bug. |
62 |
- do not talk about the hintmode so much - die-hards are expected to find |
63 |
the hintmode setting on the settings page. |
64 |
- IPO no longer lies about prices; prices tweaked. |
65 |
- clarified that all deliantra-specific parts are under the Affero GPL. |
66 |
- enable the object loader to also dump archetypes. |
67 |
- (maps) fix guild teleporters to Pupland Terminal. |
68 |
- (maps) put the trapdoor above the floor in sisters/necro_ruins1. |
69 |
- force the initial face when loading an object that is time-animated |
70 |
or a monster, so it does not have to be specified anymore. |
71 |
- fix a bug where recasting an ability changing spell could shorten |
72 |
its remaining duration. |
73 |
- fix pedestal and floor building with builder. |
74 |
- fix RUNATT attack mode, which was broken before (used e.g. by mice). |
75 |
- fix a broken bow-related speed optimisation by using splay - speed |
76 |
up splay operations as well. |
77 |
- use NDI_CLEAR for the body command, and make it use observe. |
78 |
- implement introspection data for C++ classes (%REFLECT). |
79 |
- (arch) add name_pl fields and documentation for building materials. |
80 |
- (maps) random fountains no longer generate permanent stat increases. |
81 |
- fix transmutation alchemy. |
82 |
- speed up many frequently-invoked C->perl callbacks. |
83 |
- added complex object matching framework, to be used in altars and the like. |
84 |
- switch to YAML::XS from YAML. |
85 |
|
86 |
2.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009 |
87 |
- fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation |
88 |
that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :) |
89 |
- split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix |
90 |
all callers to use either one or the other, as appropriate. This |
91 |
fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others. |
92 |
- fixed an overflow and exploit in the bank/payment code. |
93 |
- fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery' |
94 |
to explain the skill a bit more. |
95 |
- removed a buggy check for zero attacktype. So that we might find |
96 |
the real bugs in the archs/maps/objects. |
97 |
- Fixed enabling torches with lighters. |
98 |
- (maps) Added Heaven Town region. |
99 |
- (arch+maps) Fixed & normalized warriors on map |
100 |
/quests/peterm/CTower/Barracks. |
101 |
- fix the light spell (and possibly diseases and other lights). |
102 |
- (arch) The clawing skill didn't have the physical attacktype. |
103 |
- (maps) make the greenway accessible again - this bug was introduced |
104 |
a long time ago, and similar cases are still to be found in the maps. |
105 |
- make the socket_timeout configurable in the code (but not yet for users). |
106 |
- earth wall health bar is now correct. |
107 |
|
108 |
2.79 Tue Jul 28 00:56:36 CEST 2009 |
109 |
- IO::AIO chaged to using eventfd internally - updated server to not |
110 |
freeze with IO::AIO anymore due this change. |
111 |

122 |
for animation and will only destroy/lastframe when hp < 0. |
123 |

124 |
- use manhattan distance for get_rangevector_from_mapcoord, just as |
125 |
in get_rangevector. |
126 |

127 |
- do los updates even on maps without darkness. |
128 |
- fixed quiver of holding bolts to be able to hold bolts. |
129 |
- upgrade to IO::AIO 3.21. |
130 |
- fixed show invisible, to show objects of type CONTAINER. |
131 |
- properly catching exceptions from callback in irc.ext. |
132 |

133 |
- (maps) fixed npc dialog in /pup_land/nurnberg/reception/reception. |
134 |

139 |
/elmex/mana_fountain. |
140 |
- store arrow->slaying in custom_name, to get rid of the spellarg slot. |
141 |
- reduce size of casting_time, move_status, attack_movement, |
142 |
last_heal and last_sp slots, squeezing some more space out of struct |
143 |
object, also declare expmul as constant 1.0, as it isn't used |
144 |
anywhere. |
145 |
|
146 |
2.78 Sun Apr 5 20:04:29 CEST 2009 |
147 |
- fixed bug in alchemy, where finding the right object for enhancements |
148 |
didn't work. |
149 |
- aggressively merge spell effects and do not allow more than 5 spell |
150 |
effects (w.r.t. put_more) per mapspace, to give the server a chance |
151 |
to survive a hundred deathsheads. |
152 |
- correctly clear op->env when inserting onto map, this was a potentially |
153 |
disastrous bug of unfortunately unknown proportions... |

161 |
- use better dependency tracking for include/keyword.h. |
162 |
- add accept-invitation and suicide to the list of asynchronous commands, |
163 |
so it is possible to invite somebody out of some stck-till-death traps, |
164 |
or simply to commit suicide. |
165 |
- replace the "ignoring delayed commands" message by something more useful |
166 |

|
171 |
2.77 Sun Feb 1 16:30:48 CET 2009 |
172 |

193 |
- make monster smell logic dependent on their wisdom stat. |
194 |
- put the death reason into a separate tab. |
195 |
- converted "connected" slot to string, cleanly got rid of some ugly |
196 |
hacks such as the path_attuned hack. |
197 |
- introduce shstr_tmp for fast temporary shstr passing. |
198 |
- replace one-at-a-time hash by faster than smaller FNV-1a hash |
199 |
when hashing strings. |
200 |
- sanitized alchemy-like skills and cauldrons to check earlier |
201 |
whether the right cauldron is used. |
202 |
- considerably optimise shared string implementation by |
203 |
making its null value a compiletime constant. |
204 |
- use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places, |
205 |
as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently, |
206 |
for lots of code size savings. |
207 |
- monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when |
208 |
they are sleeping: generators now check for the sleeping flag. |

- tell gcc not to excessively inline some perl interface functions. |
210 |
- remove marking rune length limit. |
211 |
- fix formatting of cfpod when a verbatim block was following |

a single newline. |
213 |

221 |
he/she makes noise. |
222 |
- fix being able to see through walls a bit. |
223 |
- improve look at output. |
224 |
- completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant |
225 |
of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary |
226 |
shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code. |
227 |
- the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens |
228 |
other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations. |
229 |
- update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when |
230 |
removed (e.g. for summon fog). |
231 |
- permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise: |
232 |
implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player |
233 |
when he/she makes noise. |
234 |

235 |
players. |
236 |

242 |
- (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and |

247 |

248 |
- make light additive even within players. |
249 |
- darken xrays effect a bit. |
250 |
- improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing |
251 |
objects, not perfect yet. |
252 |
- make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow |
253 |
ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset. |
254 |
- revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also |
255 |
tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness. |
256 |
- implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead |
257 |
of dumbly just clearing los once. |
258 |
- speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one, |
259 |
and has a smaller runtime variance. |
260 |
- daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit, |
261 |
making them actually useful. |
262 |
- see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3. |
263 |
- implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20% |
264 |
speedup, as well as in many other places. |
265 |
- remove support for extended map infos - these are not used |
266 |
by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup |
267 |
when sending map changes. |
268 |
- remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well |
269 |
as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code. |
270 |
- optimise and simplify generation of random numbers. |
271 |
- correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to |
272 |
avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code. |
273 |
- fix volume calculations. |
274 |
- fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by |
275 |
newlines. |
276 |
- increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3. |
277 |
- remove old pickup modes. |
278 |
- remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working |
279 |
anyways). |
280 |
- fix a crash when an npc applied a sign. |
281 |
|
282 |

297 |
(which was probably broken, too). |
298 |
- support negative glow radii during daytime, too. |
299 |
- use circular, not rectangular, viewing area. |
300 |
- use minimum viewing distance of 2 in outdoor maps. |
301 |
- negative glow is stronger than viewing area or lamps. |
302 |
- (arch) new darkness spell face. |
303 |
|

321 |
- speed up emergency_save by not syncing every file separately. |

323 |

- get rid of YAML::Syck, it's too buggy and misparses many files |
643 |
(this fixes the jeweler skill). |
644 |
- back-to-back perl_reloads don't freeze the ticker anymore. |
645 |
- convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...). |
646 |
- move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if |
647 |
it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as |
648 |
proof that the player didn't use a savebed). |
649 |
|
650 |
2.4 Sun Jan 13 13:41:29 CET 2008 |

689 |
potentially causing crashes. |
690 |
- assign weapons on user load time, not login-time, avoiding |

721 |
- output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically |
722 |
(and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring |
723 |
low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.). |
724 |
- implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled |
725 |
in the server side). this will allow future expansion without |
726 |
having to upgrade clients. |
727 |
- implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position |
728 |
tracking. |
729 |

738 |
reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly |
739 |
reduces lag by 120ms. |
740 |
- actually send spell faces to the client. |
741 |
- implement player genders. |
742 |
- unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset, |
743 |
otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out |
744 |
was for too long. |
745 |
- fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack). |
746 |
- greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_. |
747 |
- archetypes are now subclasses of objects. |
748 |
- rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic |
749 |
(and likely match the actual intention). |
750 |
- implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold, |
751 |
italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc. |
752 |
- implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints. |
753 |
- implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki. |
754 |
- implement generic message framework that uses xml, utf8 for the client |
755 |
protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information. |
756 |
- implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. |
757 |
- replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
758 |
better than the newbie house. |
759 |
- fix the magicmap colours. |
760 |
- optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
761 |
- decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
762 |
- implement observe command. |
763 |
- major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord |
764 |
calls with a simple comparison. |
765 |
- fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the |
766 |
map refresh did not update the mapspace. |
767 |
- support custom keys for regions and maps, regions are now |
768 |
refcount-managed. |
769 |
- allow worldmap overlays anywhere in the 000..999 range. |
770 |
- new system to acquire time slices for background jobs, to reduce |
771 |
jitter. |
772 |
- semi-persistent object-referencing framework (currently only players |
773 |
supported). |
774 |
- dependency tracking for perl extensions. |
775 |
- new slag-ex extension for cleaning cauldrons. |
776 |
- fix invoke result processing. |
777 |
- there are even less i/o syncpoints in the server now. |
778 |
- added map-tags extension that scans all maps for object tags |
779 |
and records them in the database (not used yet). |
780 |
- metaserver 2 support. |
781 |
- many more bugfixes and minor optimisations. |

2.1 Sun May 27 04:21:29 CEST 2007 |
784 |
- optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be |
785 |
skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions). |
786 |
- complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |
787 |
to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |
788 |
to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes |
789 |
one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). |
790 |
- complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: |
791 |
there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged |
792 |
attacks. |
793 |
- introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged |
794 |
or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as |
795 |
needed. |
796 |
- rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage, |
797 |
attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat |
798 |
bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill |
799 |
so its damage increases with level. |
800 |
- rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now |
801 |
works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts. |
802 |
- implement a utility - cfutil - that simplifies arch and map |
803 |
installation, replacing the old collect scripts and |
804 |
simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required. |
805 |
- simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage |
806 |
of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely. |
807 |
- implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from |
808 |
other archetypes. |
809 |
- rationalise archetype, region and treasurelist file format |
810 |
into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously. |
811 |
- make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap) |
812 |
reloadable at runtime. |
813 |
- implement 64x64 faceset support. |
814 |
- implement fxixsx protocol that saves |
815 |
a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets |
816 |
and allows images > packetsize, incremental and background |
817 |
transfers. |
818 |
- implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works |
819 |
on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis. |
820 |
- the server can now rate-limit image uploads to not exceed |
821 |
a certain (client-configurable) speed while guarenteeing full |
822 |
freedom of movement. |
823 |
- implement new ex command to request item descriptions. |
824 |
- implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta |
825 |
information (using xml). |
826 |
- enforce utf-8 for all text messages. |
827 |
- added micropather (not used yet). |
828 |
- many, many bugfixes. |

2.0 Tue Mar 6 15:22:53 CET 2007 |
831 |
- make coroapi accessible to cf+. |
832 |
- moved map handling logic completely to perl |
833 |
- per player maps are now marked in the map |
834 |
- maps are saved completely differently now, |
835 |
and much more often. |
836 |
- rewrote map header parser and writer, to be much faster. |
837 |
- maps and players are now (in the average case) loaded |
838 |
and saved completely asynchronously, I/O contention will no |
839 |
longer freeze the server. |
840 |
- players and maps can be loaded anytime, without the player |
841 |
being logged in. |
842 |
- automatically generate method interfaces for perl from headers |
843 |
- unbundled freezethaw |
844 |
- mostly rewrote common/map.C |
845 |
- completely rewrite server/swap.C |
846 |
- introduced "runtime", the CCT clock (corrected crossfire time) :) |
847 |
- introduced new keyword for map files: file_format_version (integer, server version: 0) |
848 |
- better message for apply failures due to applymode |
849 |
- removed most all of the weather code |
850 |
- unified logging to stderr and file |
851 |
- too many minor changes to document |
