| 3 | 2.1 |
3 | 2.2 |
|
|
4 | - implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. |
|
|
5 | - replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
|
|
6 | better than the newbie house. |
|
|
7 | - fix the magicmap colours. |
|
|
8 | - optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
|
|
9 | - decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
|
|
10 | - implement observe command. |
|
|
11 | - major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord |
|
|
12 | calls with a simple comparison. |
|
|
13 | - fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the |
|
|
14 | map refresh did not update the mapspace. |
|
|
15 | - many bugfixes and minor optimisations. |

17 | 2.1 Sun May 27 04:21:29 CEST 2007 |
|
|
18 | - optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be |
|
|
19 | skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions). |
|
|
20 | - complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |
|
|
21 | to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |
|
|
22 | to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes |
|
|
23 | one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). |
|
|
24 | - complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: |
|
|
25 | there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged |
|
|
26 | attacks. |
|
|
27 | - introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged |
|
|
28 | or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as |
|
|
29 | needed. |
|
|
30 | - rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage, |
|
|
31 | attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat |
|
|
32 | bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill |
|
|
33 | so its damage increases with level. |
|
|
34 | - rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now |
|
|
35 | works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts. |
