fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters + at map boundaries apart. + - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when + he/she makes noise. + - fix being able to see through walls a bit. + - improve look at output. + - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant + of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary + shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code. + - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens + other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations. + - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when + removed (e.g. for summon fog). + - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise: + implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player + when he/she makes noise. + - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track + players. + - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps. + - (arch) new torch graphics. + - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider. + - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect + the guards from being killed by players. + - (maps) lots of tweaks in and around scorn. + - (maps) use special non-blocksview jungle, mountain and + darkforest freely on the worldmap, to get gradual sight obstacles + instead of total blackout in those areas. + - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore. + - add more hints, fix some messages. + - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them. + - make light additive even within players. + - darken xrays effect a bit. + - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing + objects, not perfect yet. + - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow + ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset. + - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also + tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness. + - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead + of dumbly just clearing los once. + - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one, + and has a smaller runtime variance. + - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit, + making them actually useful. + - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3. + - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20% + speedup, as well as in many other places. + - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used + by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup + when sending map changes. + - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well + as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code. + - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers. + - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to + avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code. + - fix volume calculations. + - fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by + newlines. + - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3. + - remove old pickup modes. + - remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working + anyways). + - fix a crash when an npc applied a sign. + +2.73 Thu Dec 18 20:56:31 CET 2008 + - this release is assumed to be very stable. + - (maps) radically redesigned and improved tutorial. + - directional casting no longer immediately removes the invisible effect. + - magic ears now trigger when used inside the NPC dialogue. + - fix overflow in lighting calculations. + - negative glow radii can no longer cause total darkness. + - allow lookat on spaces where we only barely see, as opposed to + only maximally-lit ones. + - class selection has been reworked completely and their documentation corrected. + - swashbucklers got the oratory skill now. + - jump skill was fixed to adhere to all the flags a mapspace has got. + - (maps) small fix w.r.t. magic ear in /scorn/houses/wizz.entry + - fix deadlock in Jeweler::improve_ring_by_plan. + - use Coro::SemaphoreSet instead of our own lock management + (which was probably broken, too). + - support negative glow radii during daytime, too. + - use circular, not rectangular, viewing area. + - use minimum viewing distance of 2 in outdoor maps. + - negative glow is stronger than viewing area or lamps. + - (arch) new darkness spell face. + +2.72 Thu Dec 4 22:20:19 CET 2008 + - (maps) completely redesigned scorn. + - "cast light" now works on oneself. + - bump max light radius to 9, rewrote glow lighting calculations, fix + negative glow radii again (they were totally broken before). - the "worldmaps sometimes are black" bug is finally fixed. - the "player objects are referenced in _GENxx globals" bug has finally been fixed, by not relying on buggy perl internals when serialising. @@ -38,6 +136,21 @@ - refactored drop code and fixed some programming errors in it. - fixed small regression in 'Slag Ex' potion extension. - fixed a bug where some objects couldn't cross map tile boundaries. + - fixed a bug with weight update of the player, the client showed -0.0 + as the current weight of the inventory. + -
