make monster smell logic dependent on their wisdom stat. + - put the detah reason into a separate tab. + - introduce shstr_tmp for fast temporary shstr passing. + - replace one-at-a-time hash by faster than smaller FNV-1a hash + when hashing strings. + - considerably optimise shared string implementation by + making its null value a compiletime constant. + - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places, + as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently, + for lots of code size savings. + - monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when + they are sleeping: generators now check for the sleeping flag. + - tell gcc not to excessively inline some perl interface functions. + +2.74 Mon Dec 29 15:23:38 CET 2008 + - 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. + -

(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). + -
