| 5 | TODO: xs-warn doesn't end up in server log. |
5 | - fix a longstanding bug that teared multipart monsters |
| 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 | at map boundaries apart. |
| 7 | TODO: inscription cannot be readied. |
7 | - temporarily make permanently invisible player visible when |
| 8 | TODO: random destination transport may bring you tot nürnberg errornously, likely stoneville |
8 | he/she makes noise. |
| 9 | TODO: reasy_skill find traps does nto unapply the range slot item (bow) |
9 | - fix being able to see through walls a bit. |
|
|
10 | - improve look at output. |
|
|
11 | - completely replaced the line of sight algorithm with a variant |
|
|
12 | of spiral fov capable of visibility grades and arbitrary |
|
|
13 | shadow angles, that uses less memory and less code. |
|
|
14 | - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens |
|
|
15 | other restrictions of the old code, supporitng further optimisations. |
|
|
16 | - udpate los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when |
|
|
17 | removed (e.g. for summon fog). |
|
|
18 | - permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise: |
|
|
19 | implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player |
|
|
20 | when he/she makes noise. |
|
|
21 | - implement a primitive smell system that monsters can use to track |
|
|
22 | players. |
|
|
23 | - create bomb now also works when casted by door traps. |
|
|
24 | - (arch) new torch graphics. |
|
|
25 | - (maps) considerably soften the subway spider. |
|
|
26 | - (maps) made the portgate of navar safe ground, to protect |
|
|
27 | the guards from being killed by players. |
|
|
28 | - no maximum darkness for outdoor maps anymore. |
|
|
29 | - add more hints, fix some messages. |
|
|
30 | - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them. |
|
|
31 | - make light additive even within players. |
|
|
32 | - darken xrays effect a bit. |
|
|
33 | - improve handling of los changes when inserting or removing |
|
|
34 | objects, not perfect yet. |
|
|
35 | - make map darkness signed (formerly unsigned) to allow |
|
|
36 | ambient lighting and centrally manage darkness as an offset. |
|
|
37 | - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also |
|
|
38 | tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness. |
|
|
39 | - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead |
|
|
40 | of dumbly just clearing los once. |
|
|
41 | - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one, |
|
|
42 | and has a smaller runtime variance. |
|
|
43 | - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit, |
|
|
44 | making them actually useful. |
|
|
45 | - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3. |
|
|
46 | - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20% |
|
|
47 | speedup, as well as in many other places. |
|
|
48 | - remove support for extended map infos - these are not used |
|
|
49 | by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup |
|
|
50 | when sending map changes. |
|
|
51 | - remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well |
|
|
52 | as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code. |
|
|
53 | - optimise and simplify generation of random numbers. |
|
|
54 | - correctly provide a non-zero default density for materials, to |
|
|
55 | avoid crashes, fix other bugs in the material handling code. |
|
|
56 | - fix volume calculations. |
|
|
57 | - fix cfpod parsing when multiple verbatim blocks were separated by |
|
|
58 | newlines. |
|
|
59 | - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3. |
|
|
60 | - remove old pickup modes. |
|
|
61 | - remove obsolete disarm and search commands (search wasn't working |
|
|
62 | anyways). |
|
|
63 | - fix a crash when an npc applied a sign. |
| 10 | |
64 | |
| 11 | TODO: skills command to perl etc. |
