fix magic mapping, which only worked for inate spell casting. + - godgiven items will now be explicitly described as such. + - (arch) dded a quiver of bolts. + - materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only + set the material when the materialname was not set before. + - balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead + of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution, + but still. + - reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding + the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple + repeat-cache for speed_left. + - always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till + next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take. + - add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs. + - pet monster level was not displayed correctly in "showpets index". + -

move gcc specifics to new file include/compiler.h. + - unrecognised cfpod directives could cause undefined behaviour. + - added boes' marble shop to steinwandstadt. + - pad mapspace to power-of two size for speed/codesize/cache gains. + - optimise mapspace updates. + - cache volume/items per mapspace. + - use fabs, min and max consistently (surprisingly for a code size + decrease). + - fixed a small uncleanlieness in item converters, which might + have led to weird item multiplications. + - store hash value in shstr, not used by anything, but doesn't use much memory. + - fixed crash bug in learn_spell command. + - enhanced output of the mapinfo command. + - remove all traces of FLAG_NO_FIX_PLAYER. + -

check for hash collisions in cfutil. + - reduce face checksum size from 6 to 4 bytes. + - don't crash when a map uses empty sound/sound_destroy/face. + - removed weather-specific attributes. + - fixed genkeywords dependency. + - do not clear "randomitems" slot for world underlays. + - use "sl" as short-hand for speed_left in save-files, just to make them + smaller. + - in general, don't crash on value-less resource file lines + anymore, due to get_str never returning a 0-pointer. + - code cleanup in move_symptom. + - removed arch_to_object (replaced it by ->instance ()). + +2.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009 + - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told + multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL, + lock up the source code of the server within his company. + some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make + it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep + Deliantra free software even for the coming generations + and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing + good in mind for free software. + - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL. + - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files. + - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map, + not stats etc.). + - replace magic mapping overlay by a flying bird exposing area + on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext). + -

(maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar + and santo dominion. + - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes + to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch". + - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field. + - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away. + - map-tags did not properly close it's database tables or wait + for a quiescent state, causing memory corruption on reload. + - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions. + - skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps. + - implement ->send_big_packet and use it in ext_msg (among other things, this + fixes long answers from npc dialogue). + - connected magic mouths no longer spill to Log-1, but use the examine tab. + - (arch) change marker archetypes to not remove "marker" forces anymore + and to not add a "put your code here" force needlessly. + - (arch) fix or improve many plurals. + - markers do no longer add a force if the slaying field is unset. + - sped up search-items implementation, but it's still horrible. + - (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset. + -
