| 3 | 2.1 |
3 | 2.1 |
| 4 | - started a Changes file, please use. |
4 | - complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |
|
|
5 | to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |
|
|
6 | to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes |
|
|
7 | one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). |
|
|
8 | - complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: |
|
|
9 | there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged |
|
|
10 | attacks. |
|
|
11 | - introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged |
|
|
12 | or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as |
|
|
13 | needed. |
|
|
14 | - rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage, |
|
|
15 | attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat |
|
|
16 | bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill |
|
|
17 | so its damage increases with level. |
|
|
18 | - rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now |
|
|
19 | works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts. |
|
|
20 | - implement a utility - cfutil - that simplifies arch and map |
|
|
21 | installation, replacing the old collect scripts and |
|
|
22 | simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required. |
|
|
23 | - simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage |
|
|
24 | of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely. |
|
|
25 | - implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from |
|
|
26 | other archetypes. |
|
|
27 | - rationalise archetype, region and treasurelist file format |
|
|
28 | into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously. |
|
|
29 | - make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap) |
|
|
30 | reloadable at runtime. |
|
|
31 | - implement 64x64 faceset support. |
|
|
32 | - implement fxixsx protocol that saves |
|
|
33 | a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets |
|
|
34 | and allows images > packetsize, incremental and background |
|
|
35 | transfers. |
|
|
36 | - implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works |
|
|
37 | on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis. |
|
|
38 | - the server can now rate-limit image uploads to not exceed |
|
|
39 | a certain (client-configurable) speed while guarenteeing full |
|
|
40 | freedom of movement. |
|
|
41 | - implement new ex command to request item descriptions. |
|
|
42 | - implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta |
|
|
43 | information (using xml). |
|
|
44 | - enforce utf-8 for all text messages. |
|
|
45 | - added micropather (not used yet). |
|
|
46 | - many, many bugfixes. |
|

50 | - moved map handling logic completely to perl |
| 7 | - per player maps are now marked in the map |
51 | - per player maps are now marked in the map |
| 8 | - maps are saved completely differently now |
52 | - maps are saved completely differently now, |
|
|
53 | and much more often. |
| 9 | - rewrote map header parser and writer |
54 | - rewrote map header parser and writer |
|
|
55 | - maps and players are now (in the average case) loaded |
|
|
56 | and saved completely asynchronously, I/O contention will no |
|
|
57 | longer freeze the server. |
|
|
58 | - players and maps can be loaded anytime, without the player |
|
|
59 | being logged in. |
| 10 | - automatically generate method interfaces for perl from headers |
