1Crossfire TRT Server, Maps and Archetypes ChangeLog 1Crossfire TRT Server, Maps and Archetypes ChangeLog.
2 2
32.1 3 - fixed an important bug that caused passwords to be forgotten.
4 - implement *tag destinations for goto, slaying etc. and use it
5 in some of the maps.
6 - bigworldised many maps (islands as in pupland and aldwulf),
7 which is now trivial to do.

92.2 Tue Sep 11 15:41:24 CEST 2007
10 - relicense under the gnu affero license.
11 - new inscription skill, can only inscribe INSCRIBABLE items.
12 - implement server-side framework for generic resources.
13 - use resource framework for server-provided ambient
14 music.
15 - save object owners (players only atm).
16 - replace limited sound api with server-provided sound effects.
17 - new sc (sound control) protocol command.
18 - improve fxix protocol to include types.
19 - exactly fill tcp segments, if possible.
20 - output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically
21 (and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring
22 low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.).
23 - implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled
24 in the server side). this will allow future expansion without
25 having to upgrade clients.
26 - implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position
27 tracking.
28 - new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd
29 protocol).
30 - fixed lots of underflow/overflow bugs in diseases and general stats
31 calcluation that could be easily exploited by users.
32 - rebalanced diseases to spread more naturally/evenly.
33 - completely asynchronous map loading even for tiled maps.
34 - replace simple messaging protocol with channels carrying metadata
35 (similar to message types, but more directed at the user).
36 - reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by
37 reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly
38 reduces lag by 120ms.
39 - actually send spell faces to the client.
40 - implement player genders.
41 - unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset,
42 otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out
43 was for too long.
44 - fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack).
45 - greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_.
46 - archetypes are now subclasses of objects.
47 - rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic
48 (and likely match the actual intention).
49 - implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold,
50 italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc.
51 - implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints.
52 - implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki.
53 - implement generic message framework that uses xml, utf8 for the client
54 protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information.
55 - implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps.
56 - replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff
57 better than the newbie house.
58 - fix the magicmap colours.
59 - optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks.
60 - decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead.
61 - implement observe command.
62 - major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord
63 calls with a simple comparison.
64 - fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the
65 map refresh did not update the mapspace.
66 - support custom keys for regions and maps, regions are now
67 refcount-managed.
68 - allow worldmap overlays anywhere in the 000..999 range.
69 - new system to acquire time slices for background jobs, to reduce
70 jitter.
71 - semi-persistent object-referencing framework (currently only players
72 supported).
73 - dependency tracking for perl extensions.
74 - new slag-ex extension for cleaning cauldrons.
75 - fix invoke result processing.
76 - there are even less i/o syncpoints in the server now.
77 - added map-tags extension that scans all maps for object tags
78 and records them in the database (not used yet).
79 - metaserver 2 support.
80 - many more bugfixes and minor optimisations.

822.1 Sun May 27 04:21:29 CEST 2007
83 - optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be
84 skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions).
4 - complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal 85 - complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal
5 to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible 86 to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible
6 to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes 87 to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes
7 one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). 88 one of the remaining syncpoints in the server).
8 - complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: 89 - complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system:
49 - make coroapi accessible to cf+. 130 - make coroapi accessible to cf+.
50 - moved map handling logic completely to perl 131 - moved map handling logic completely to perl

52 - maps are saved completely differently now, 133 - maps are saved completely differently now,
53 and much more often. 134 and much more often.
54 - rewrote map header parser and writer 135 - rewrote map header parser and writer, to be much faster.
55 - maps and players are now (in the average case) loaded 136 - maps and players are now (in the average case) loaded
56 and saved completely asynchronously, I/O contention will no 137 and saved completely asynchronously, I/O contention will no
57 longer freeze the server. 138 longer freeze the server.
58 - players and maps can be loaded anytime, without the player 139 - players and maps can be loaded anytime, without the player
59 being logged in. 140 being logged in.
