36 | corrupted if the length was >255. |
|
|
37 | - support sub-matches in () inside match expressions, not just conditions. |
|
|
38 | - got rid of motd/rules/news code in C++ part, move motd to it's own tab |
|
|

|
|
40 | - implemented new "match" type that combines both check_inv and pedestal |

|
|
42 | - create simpler match expression compiles in many common cases. |
|
|
43 | - reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member. |
|
|
44 | - removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage |

|
|
46 | in code size...). |
|
|
47 | - the server will no longer complain (and subtly fail) when an object |
|
|
48 | being removed from a map causes another object to get removed. |

|
|
61 | - fix a bug in map-tag scanning when moving tags. |
|
|

|
|
63 | for a reaction. |

|
65 | |

|
|
67 | - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls, |
|
|
68 | but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators). |
|
|
69 | - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags |
|
|
70 | 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where |
|
|
71 | and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this |
|
|
72 | allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to |
|
|
73 | walk on. |
|
|
74 | - fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code. |
|
|
75 | - examining an object now dumps the serialised object form when the user |

|
|
80 | and pedestals use it. |
|
|
81 | - identified skill-tools show what skill they grant. |
|
|
82 | - display the duration of change_ability spells when examining them |
|
|
83 | (missing: protection spells, but they are a hack...). |
|
|
84 | - improve effectiveness of special foods created by woodsman skill, |
|
|
85 | adding more variety to the different mushrooms. |
|
|
86 | - fix a minor cfpod formatting bug. |
|
|
87 | - do not talk about the hintmode so much - die-hards are expected to find |
|
|
88 | the hintmode setting on the settings page. |
|
|
89 | - IPO no longer lies about prices; prices tweaked. |
|
|
90 | - clarified that all deliantra-specific parts are under the Affero GPL. |

|
95 | or a monster, so it does not have to be specified anymore. |
|

|
|
97 | its remaining duration. |
|
|
98 | - fix pedestal and floor building with builder. |
|
|
99 | - fix RUNATT attack mode, which was broken before (used e.g. by mice). |

|
|

|

|
|
108 | - added complex object matching framework, to be used in altars and the like. |

|
|
112 | - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation |
|
|
113 | that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :) |
|
|
114 | - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix |
|

116 | fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others. |
|
|
117 | - fixed an overflow and exploit in the bank/payment code. |
|
|
118 | - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery' |
|
|
119 | to explain the skill a bit more. |
|
|
120 | - removed a buggy check for zero attacktype. So that we might find |
|
|
121 | the real bugs in the archs/maps/objects. |
|
|
122 | - Fixed enabling torches with lighters. |
|
|
123 | - (maps) Added Heaven Town region. |

|
|
127 | - (arch) The clawing skill didn't have the physical attacktype. |
|
|
128 | - (maps) make the greenway accessible again - this bug was introduced |
|
|
129 | a long time ago, and similar cases are still to be found in the maps. |
|
|
130 | - make the socket_timeout configurable in the code (but not yet for users). |
|
|
131 | - earth wall health bar is now correct. |
|
|
132 | |
|
|
133 | 2.79 Tue Jul 28 00:56:36 CEST 2009 |

145 | - use a common message dynbuf. |
|

|
147 | for animation and will only destroy/lastframe when hp < 0. |
|
|
148 | - allow monsters to use earth to dust. |
|
|
149 | - use manhattan distance for get_rangevector_from_mapcoord, just as |
|
|
150 | in get_rangevector. |
|
|
151 | - los updates now correctly take tiled maps into account. |
|
|
152 | - do los updates even on maps without darkness. |

165 | - store arrow->slaying in custom_name, to get rid of the spellarg slot. |
|
|
166 | - reduce size of casting_time, move_status, attack_movement, |
|
|
167 | last_heal and last_sp slots, squeezing some more space out of struct |
|
|
168 | object, also declare expmul as constant 1.0, as it isn't used |
|
|
169 | anywhere. |
|
|
170 | |
|
|
171 | 2.78 Sun Apr 5 20:04:29 CEST 2009 |
|
|
172 | - fixed bug in alchemy, where finding the right object for enhancements |
|
|
173 | didn't work. |
|
|
174 | - aggressively merge spell effects and do not allow more than 5 spell |

175 | effects (w.r.t. put_more) per mapspace, to give the server a chance |
|
|
176 | to survive a hundred deathsheads. |
|
|
177 | - correctly clear op->env when inserting onto map, this was a potentially |
|
|
178 | disastrous bug of unfortunately unknown proportions... |

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

|
|
189 | or simply to commit suicide. |
|
|
190 | - replace the "ignoring delayed commands" message by something more useful |

|
|
223 | - replace one-at-a-time hash by faster than smaller FNV-1a hash |
|
|
224 | when hashing strings. |
|

225 | - sanitized alchemy-like skills and cauldrons to check earlier |
|
|
226 | whether the right cauldron is used. |
|
|
227 | - considerably optimise shared string implementation by |
|
|
228 | making its null value a compiletime constant. |
|
|
229 | - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places, |
|
|
230 | as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently, |
|
|
231 | for lots of code size savings. |
|
|
232 | - monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when |
|

|
|
249 | - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant |
|
|
250 | of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary |
|
|
251 | shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code. |
|
|
252 | - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens |
|
|
253 | other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations. |
|
|
254 | - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when |
|
|
255 | removed (e.g. for summon fog). |
|
|
256 | - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise: |
|
|
257 | implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player |
|
|
258 | when he/she makes noise. |
|
|
259 | - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track |

|
|
267 | - (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and |
|
|
268 | darkforest freely on the worldmap, to get gradual sight obstacles |
|
|
269 | instead of total blackout in those areas. |
|
|
270 | - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore. |
|
|
271 | - add more hints, fix some messages. |
|
|
272 | - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them. |
|
|
273 | - make light additive even within players. |
|
|
274 | - darken xrays effect a bit. |
|
|
275 | - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing |
|
|
276 | objects, not perfect yet. |
|
|
277 | - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow |
|
|
278 | ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset. |
|
|
279 | - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also |
|
|
280 | tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness. |
|
|
281 | - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead |
|
|
282 | of dumbly just clearing los once. |
|
|
283 | - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one, |
|
|
284 | and has a smaller runtime variance. |
|
|
285 | - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit, |
|
|
286 | making them actually useful. |
|
|
287 | - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3. |
|
|
288 | - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20% |
|
|
289 | speedup, as well as in many other places. |
|
|
290 | - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used |
|
|
291 | by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup |
|
|
292 | when sending map changes. |
|
|
293 | - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well |
|
|
294 | as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code. |
|
|
295 | - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers. |
|
|
296 | - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to |
|
|
297 | avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code. |

301 | - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3. |
|
|
302 | - remove old pickup modes. |
|
|
303 | - remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working |
|
|
304 | anyways). |
|
|
305 | - fix a crash when an npc applied a sign. |
|
|
306 | |
|
|
307 | 2.73 Thu Dec 18 20:56:31 CET 2008 |

|
|
577 | automatically by lower level code. |

578 | - replace many ad-hoc checks for client visibility by object::visible_to, |
|
|
579 | should result in broader applicability of functions using it. |

|
|
636 | after loading. |

|
650 | when mlockall has been used. |
|
|
651 | - pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls. |
|
|
652 | - use separate thread for ticker timing (and more in the future). |

666 | 2.41 Fri Jan 25 13:15:37 CET 2008 |
|
|
667 | - get rid of YAML::Syck, it's too buggy and misparses many files |

|
|
670 | - convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...). |
|
|
671 | - move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if |
|
|
672 | it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as |
|
|
673 | proof that the player didn't use a savebed). |

|
|
675 | 2.4 Sun Jan 13 13:41:29 CET 2008 |

|
|
686 | do not move or kill them. |
|
|
687 | - implement client-side settings page in playerbook (0.9963+ required). |

|
|
700 | - limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped |
|
|
701 | as temporary measurement against bad performance or dropping things |
|
|
702 | (this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog). |
|
|
703 | - improved the performance of the drop command a bit. |
|
|
704 | - switch from Event to EV for higher performance, easier usage, |
|
|
705 | less bugs... |
|
|
706 | - updated to release version of the gnu affero license. |
|

|
|
723 | which is now trivial to do. |
|
|
724 | - removed all traces of the old (and never working) plug-in interface |
|
|
725 | (70kb code less on amd64). |
|

745 | - exactly fill tcp segments, if possible. |
|
|
746 | - output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically |
|
|
747 | (and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring |
|
|
748 | low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.). |
|
|
749 | - implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled |
|
|
750 | in the server side). this will allow future expansion without |
|
|
751 | having to upgrade clients. |
|
|
752 | - implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position |
|
|
753 | tracking. |
|

754 | - new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd |
|
|
755 | protocol). |
|
|
756 | - fixed lots of underflow/overflow bugs in diseases and general stats |
|

761 | (similar to message types, but more directed at the user). |
|
|
762 | - reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by |
|
|
763 | reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly |
|
|
764 | reduces lag by 120ms. |
|
|
765 | - actually send spell faces to the client. |
|
|
766 | - implement player genders. |
|
|
767 | - unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset, |
|
|
768 | otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out |
|
|
769 | was for too long. |
|
|
770 | - fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack). |
|
|
771 | - greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_. |
|
|
772 | - archetypes are now subclasses of objects. |
|
|
773 | - rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic |
|
|
774 | (and likely match the actual intention). |

|
|
776 | italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc. |
|
|
777 | - implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints. |

781 | - implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. |
|
|
782 | - replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
|
|
783 | better than the newbie house. |
|
|
784 | - fix the magicmap colours. |
|
|
785 | - optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
|
|
786 | - decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
|
|
787 | - implement observe command. |
|
|
788 | - major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord |
|
|
789 | calls with a simple comparison. |
|
|
790 | - fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the |
|
|
791 | map refresh did not update the mapspace. |
|
|
792 | - support custom keys for regions and maps, regions are now |
|
|
793 | refcount-managed. |

804 | and records them in the database (not used yet). |
|
|
805 | - metaserver 2 support. |
|
|
806 | - many more bugfixes and minor optimisations. |
|
|
807 | |
|
|
808 | 2.1 Sun May 27 04:21:29 CEST 2007 |

809 | - optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be |
|
|
810 | skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions). |
|
|
811 | - complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |
|
|
812 | to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |
|
|
813 | to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes |
|
|
814 | one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). |
|
|
815 | - complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: |
|
|
816 | there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged |
|
|
817 | attacks. |
|
|
818 | - introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged |
|
|
819 | or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as |
|
|
820 | needed. |
|
|
821 | - rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage, |
|
|
822 | attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat |
|
|
823 | bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill |
|
|
824 | so its damage increases with level. |
|
|
825 | - rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now |
|
|
826 | works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts. |
