| 4 | TODO: emergency swap mode is not working |
4 | 2.91 Mon Nov 30 10:18:09 CET 2009 |
| 5 | TODO: xs-warn doesn't end up in server log. |
5 | - (maps) add gorokh_final mapset from crossfire. |
| 6 | TODO: 2008-07-13 00:41:27.8762 BUG: process_events(): removed object is on active list: {cnt:8720978,uuid:<1.37c8d364d>,name:"bomb",flags:[2,11],type:102} |
6 | - (maps) block most vault-type mlab locations, open up |
| 7 | TODO: inscription cannot be readied. |
7 | imperial converters for anybody to use. |
| 8 | TODO: random destination transport may bring you tot nürnberg errornously, likely stoneville |
8 | - (maps, arch) replace all permanent stat potions by random |
|
|
9 | variants. |
|
|
10 | - (maps) spread gorokh demon styles more evenly over 1..100. |
|
|
11 | - TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a |
|
|
12 | real player object on player changes. |
|
|
13 | - diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed |
|
|
14 | to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing |
|
|
15 | much grief. |
|
|
16 | - speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken. |
|
|
17 | - introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit |
|
|
18 | of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other |
|
|
19 | things, this gets rid of all the abs (speed) calls. |
|
|
20 | - reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases. |
|
|
21 | - shop specialisation calculation was totally broken. |
|
|
22 | - nrof/itemcount/volume limits when dropping to the floor are |
|
|
23 | now enforced. |
|
|
24 | - fix magic mapping, which only worked for inate spell casting. |
|
|
25 | - godgiven items will now be explicitly described as such. |
|
|
26 | - (arch) dded a quiver of bolts. |
|
|
27 | - materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only |
|
|
28 | set the material when the materialname was not set before. |
|
|
29 | - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead |
|
|
30 | of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution, |
|
|
31 | but still. |
|
|
32 | - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding |
|
|
33 | the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple |
|
|
34 | repeat-cache for speed_left. |
|
|
35 | - always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till |
|
|
36 | next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take. |
|
|
37 | - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs. |
|
|
38 | - pet monster level was not displayed correctly in "showpets index". |
|
|
39 | - clean up floating point conversions and many similar nitpicks. |
|
|
40 | - fix hanuk altar. |
|
|
41 | - overhaul material system to be much faster, and having less bugs, but |
|
|
42 | still having a lot of cruft :/. |
|
|
43 | - add marble shop floor. |
|
|
44 | - move gcc specifics to new file include/compiler.h. |
|
|
45 | - unrecognised cfpod directives could cause undefined behaviour. |

46 | - added boes' marble shop to steinwandstadt. |
|
|
47 | - pad mapspace to power-of two size for speed/codesize/cache gains. |
|
|
48 | - optimise mapspace updates. |
|
|
49 | - cache volume/items per mapspace. |
|
|
50 | - use fabs, min and max consistently (surprisingly for a code size |
|
|
51 | decrease). |
|
|
52 | - fixed a small uncleanlieness in item converters, which might |
|
|
53 | have led to weird item multiplications. |
|
|
54 | - store hash value in shstr, not used by anything, but doesn't use much memory. |
|
|
55 | - fixed crash bug in learn_spell command. |
|
|
56 | - remove all traces of FLAG_NO_FIX_PLAYER. |
|
|
57 | - avoid sv_derived_from calls (lots of hash lookups) when converting |
|
|
58 | from perl to c++. |
|
|
59 | - implemented least_significand_bit and for_all_bits_sparse_32 utilities |
|
|
60 | and use it in some "inner" loops. |
|
|
61 | - rename flags to attachable_flags to avoid confusion :=). |
|

62 | - fixed jeweler experience output to not be floating point. |
|
|
63 | - added lock/unlock commands, thanks for the patch go to Shawn Robinson! |
|
|
64 | - (arch, maps) introduce inactive_shop_floor and fix some shops with it. |
|
|
65 | - try to prefetch memory inside process_objects, which can give |
|
|
66 | enourmous speed gains. |
|
|
67 | - make some small optimisation to the process_objects loop. |
|
|
68 | - move facedata chksum calculation into cfutil, make server more flexible |
|
|
69 | handling different chksum lengths. |
|
|
70 | - check for hash collisions in cfutil. |
|
|
71 | - reduce face checksum size from 6 to 4 bytes. |
|
|
72 | - don't crash when a map uses empty sound/sound_destroy/face. |
|
|
73 | - removed weather-specific attributes. |
|
|
74 | - fixed genkeywords dependency. |
|
|
75 | - do not clear "randomitems" slot for world underlays. |
|
|
76 | - use "sl" as short-hand for speed_left in save-files, just to make them |
|
|
77 | smaller. |
|
|
78 | - in general, don't crash on value-less resource file lines |
|
|
79 | anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer. |
|
|
80 | - code cleanup in move_symptom. |
|
|
81 | - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()). |
|

83 | 2.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009 |
|
|
84 | - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told |
|
|
85 | multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL, |
|
|
86 | lock up the source code of the server within his company. |
|
|
87 | some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make |
|
|
88 | it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep |
|
|
89 | Deliantra free software even for the coming generations |
|
|
90 | and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing |
|
|
91 | good in mind for free software. |
|

92 | - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL. |
|
|
93 | - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files. |

|
|
95 | not stats etc.). |

102 | - (maps) closed guild houses, this is not scalable, ask your friendly |
|
|
103 | dm instead. |

|
|
105 | - (maps, arch) add troll canyon, pygmy forest, elven moon and temple of justice |

|
|
109 | - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28, |

|
111 | casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing. |
|
|
112 | - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar |
|
|
113 | and santo dominion. |
|
|
114 | - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes |
|
|
115 | to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch". |

|
116 | - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field. |
|
|
117 | - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away. |
|
|
118 | - map-tags did not properly close it's database tables or wait |
|
|
119 | for a quiescent state, causing memory corruption on reload. |
|
|
120 | - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions. |
|
|
121 | - skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps. |
|
|
122 | - implement ->send_big_packet and use it in ext_msg (among other things, this |
|
|
123 | fixes long answers from npc dialogue). |
|
|
124 | - connected magic mouths no longer spill to Log-1, but use the examine tab. |
|
|
125 | - (arch) change marker archetypes to not remove "marker" forces anymore |
|
|
126 | and to not add a "put your code here" force needlessly. |
|
|
127 | - (arch) fix or improve many plurals. |
|
|

129 | - sped up search-items implementation, but it's still horrible. |
|
|
130 | - (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset. |

|
|
139 | - major namespace cleanup: save 45kb by making functions static |
|
|
140 | that were unnecessarily global. |
|
|
141 | |
|
|
142 | 2.82 Sat Oct 24 03:50:17 CEST 2009 |

158 | - consecutive commands arriving at the same time in the server would be |
|
|
159 | corrupted if the length was >255. |
|
|
160 | - support sub-matches in () inside match expressions, not just conditions. |
|
|
161 | - got rid of motd/rules/news code in C++ part, move motd to it's own tab |

|
|
166 | - reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member. |
|
|
167 | - removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage |

|
|
190 | - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls, |
|
|
191 | but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators). |
|
|
192 | - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags |
|
|
193 | 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where |
|
|
194 | and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this |
|
|
195 | allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to |
|
|
196 | walk on. |
|
|
197 | - fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code. |

201 | - party spells didn't work all that well. |

|
|
207 | - improve effectiveness of special foods created by woodsman skill, |
|
|
208 | adding more variety to the different mushrooms. |
|
|
209 | - fix a minor cfpod formatting bug. |

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

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

341 | - make monster smell logic dependent on their wisdom stat. |
|
|
342 | - put the death reason into a separate tab. |
|
|
343 | - converted "connected" slot to string, cleanly got rid of some ugly |
|
|
344 | hacks such as the path_attuned hack. |
|
|
345 | - introduce shstr_tmp for fast temporary shstr passing. |
|
|
346 | - replace one-at-a-time hash by faster than smaller FNV-1a hash |
|
|
347 | when hashing strings. |
|
|
348 | - sanitized alchemy-like skills and cauldrons to check earlier |
|
|
349 | whether the right cauldron is used. |
|
|
350 | - considerably optimise shared string implementation by |
|
|
351 | making its null value a compiletime constant. |
|
|
352 | - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places, |
|
|
353 | as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently, |
|
|
354 | for lots of code size savings. |
|
|
355 | - monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when |
|

|
|
372 | - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant |
|
|
373 | of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary |
|
|
374 | shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code. |
|
|
375 | - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens |
|
|
376 | other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations. |
|
|
377 | - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when |
|
|
378 | removed (e.g. for summon fog). |
|
|
379 | - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise: |
|
|
380 | implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player |
|
|
381 | when he/she makes noise. |
|

|
|
390 | - (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and |
|
|
391 | darkforest freely on the worldmap, to get gradual sight obstacles |
|
|
392 | instead of total blackout in those areas. |
|
|
393 | - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore. |
|
|
394 | - add more hints, fix some messages. |
|
|
395 | - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them. |
|
|
396 | - make light additive even within players. |
|
|
397 | - darken xrays effect a bit. |

398 | - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing |
|
|

|
403 | tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness. |

|
|
405 | of dumbly just clearing los once. |

|
|
407 | and has a smaller runtime variance. |
|
|
408 | - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit, |
|
|
409 | making them actually useful. |
|
|
410 | - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3. |
|
|
411 | - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20% |
|
|
412 | speedup, as well as in many other places. |
|
|
413 | - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used |
|
|
414 | by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup |
|
|
415 | when sending map changes. |
|
|
416 | - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well |
|
|
417 | as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code. |
|
|
418 | - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers. |
|
|
419 | - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to |

425 | - remove old pickup modes. |

427 | anyways). |
