| 3 | 2.1 |
3 | 2.2 |
|
|
4 | - implement player genders. |
|
|
5 | - implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold, |
|
|
6 | italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc. |
|
|
7 | - implement generic message framework that uses xml, utf8 for the client |
|
|
8 | protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information. |
|
|
9 | - implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. |
|
|
10 | - replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
|
|
11 | better than the newbie house. |
|
|
12 | - fix the magicmap colours. |
|
|
13 | - optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
|
|
14 | - decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
|
|
15 | - implement observe command. |
|
|
16 | - major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord |
|
|
17 | calls with a simple comparison. |
|
|
18 | - fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the |
|
|
19 | map refresh did not update the mapspace. |
|
|
20 | - dependency tracking for perl extensions. |
|
|
21 | - many more bugfixes and minor optimisations. |

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

44 | simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required. |
|
|
45 | - simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage |
|
|
46 | of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely. |
| 7 | - implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from |

| 10 | into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously. |
50 | into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously. |
|
|
51 | - make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap) |
|
|
52 | reloadable at runtime. |
| 11 | - implement 64x64 faceset support. |
53 | - implement 64x64 faceset support. |
| 12 | - implement fxixsx protocol that saves |

| 13 | a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets |
55 | a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets |

56 | and allows images > packetsize, incremental and background |

| 15 | - implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works |
58 | - implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works |
| 16 | on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis. |
59 | on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis. |

62 | freedom of movement. |
|
|
63 | - implement new ex command to request item descriptions. |
|
|
64 | - implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta |
|
|
65 | information (using xml). |
|
|
66 | - enforce utf-8 for all text messages. |
|
|
67 | - added micropather (not used yet). |
