1 | Deliantra MORPG Server, Maps and Archetypes ChangeLog. |
| 2 | |
2 | |
| 3 | 2.1 |
3 | - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API. |
|
|
4 | - when players don't apply a savebed correctly but stand above one, |
|
|
5 | do not move or kill them. |
|
|
6 | - implement client-side settings page in playerbook (0.9963+ required). |
|
|
7 | - implement generic framework for server-side resource files. |
|
|
8 | - implement resource file update event. |
|
|
9 | - hook experience table update into the framework. |
|
|
10 | - move jeweler.yaml to resources (arch/). |
|
|
11 | - switch from Crossfire to Deliantra perl module. |
|
|
12 | - implement json2json arch filter. |
|

|
|
15 | |
|
|
16 | 2.32 Sun Dec 2 18:11:01 CET 2007 |
|
|
17 | - limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped |
|
|
18 | as temporary measurement against bad performance or dropping things |
|
|
19 | (this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog). |
|
|
20 | - improved the performance of the drop command a bit. |
|
|
21 | - switch from Event to EV for higher performance, easier usage, |
|
|
22 | less bugs... |
|
|
23 | - updated to release version of the gnu affero license. |
|
|
24 | |
|
|
25 | 2.31 Sun Nov 11 17:26:28 CET 2007 |
|
|
26 | - more thoroughly rename the binaries, contact addresses. |
|
|
27 | - update the copyrights. |
|
|
28 | - avoid backtraces due to old spells on some maps, sometimes causing |
|
|
29 | crashes. |
|
|
30 | - fix a problem where facedata wasn't initialised to zero properly, |
|
|
31 | potentially causing crashes. |
|
|
32 | - assign weapons on user load time, not login-time, avoiding |
|
|
33 | crashes. |
|
|
34 | |
|
|
35 | 2.3 Sat Oct 27 11:22:38 CEST 2007 |
|
|
36 | - fixed an important bug that caused passwords to be forgotten. |
|
|
37 | - implement *tag destinations for goto, slaying etc. and use it |
|
|
38 | in some of the maps. |
|
|
39 | - bigworldised many maps (islands as in pupland and aldwulf), |
|
|
40 | which is now trivial to do. |
|
|
41 | - removed all traces of the old (and never working) plug-in interface |
|
|
42 | (70kb code less on amd64). |
|
|
43 | - improve/tune scheduling priorities. |
|
|
44 | - fix some freezing bugs. |
|
|
45 | - fix a memory corruption problem in dynbuf.printf. |
|
|
46 | - use channels for chat and many informational commands. |
|
|
47 | - improved the tutorial. |
|
|
48 | - create missile is now fixed. |
|
|
49 | - race fields must now contain archetypes. |
|
|
50 | - jumping skill now works as advertised. |
|
|
51 | |
|
|
52 | 2.2 Tue Sep 11 15:41:24 CEST 2007 |
|
|
53 | - relicense under the gnu affero license. |
|
|
54 | - new inscription skill, can only inscribe INSCRIBABLE items. |
|
|
55 | - implement server-side framework for generic resources. |
|
|
56 | - use resource framework for server-provided ambient |
|
|
57 | music. |
|
|
58 | - save object owners (players only atm). |
|
|
59 | - replace limited sound api with server-provided sound effects. |
|
|
60 | - new sc (sound control) protocol command. |
|
|
61 | - improve fxix protocol to include types. |
|
|
62 | - exactly fill tcp segments, if possible. |
|
|
63 | - output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically |
|
|
64 | (and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring |
|
|
65 | low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.). |
|
|
66 | - implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled |
|
|
67 | in the server side). this will allow future expansion without |
|
|
68 | having to upgrade clients. |
|
|
69 | - implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position |
|
|
70 | tracking. |
|
|
71 | - new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd |
|
|
72 | protocol). |
|
|
73 | - fixed lots of underflow/overflow bugs in diseases and general stats |
|
|
74 | calcluation that could be easily exploited by users. |
|
|
75 | - rebalanced diseases to spread more naturally/evenly. |
|
|
76 | - completely asynchronous map loading even for tiled maps. |
|
|
77 | - replace simple messaging protocol with channels carrying metadata |
|
|
78 | (similar to message types, but more directed at the user). |
|
|
79 | - reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by |
|
|
80 | reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly |
|
|
81 | reduces lag by 120ms. |
|
|
82 | - actually send spell faces to the client. |
|
|
83 | - implement player genders. |
|
|
84 | - unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset, |
|
|
85 | otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out |
|
|
86 | was for too long. |
|
|
87 | - fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack). |
|
|
88 | - greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_. |
|
|
89 | - archetypes are now subclasses of objects. |
|
|
90 | - rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic |
|
|
91 | (and likely match the actual intention). |
|
|
92 | - implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold, |
|
|
93 | italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc. |
|
|
94 | - implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints. |
|
|
95 | - implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki. |
|
|
96 | - implement generic message framework that uses xml, utf8 for the client |
|
|
97 | protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information. |
|
|
98 | - implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. |
|
|
99 | - replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
|
|
100 | better than the newbie house. |
|
|
101 | - fix the magicmap colours. |
|
|
102 | - optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
|
|
103 | - decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
|
|
104 | - implement observe command. |
|
|
105 | - major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord |
|
|
106 | calls with a simple comparison. |
|
|
107 | - fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the |
|
|
108 | map refresh did not update the mapspace. |
|
|
109 | - support custom keys for regions and maps, regions are now |
|
|
110 | refcount-managed. |
|
|
111 | - allow worldmap overlays anywhere in the 000..999 range. |
|
|
112 | - new system to acquire time slices for background jobs, to reduce |
|
|
113 | jitter. |
|
|
114 | - semi-persistent object-referencing framework (currently only players |
|
|
115 | supported). |
|
|
116 | - dependency tracking for perl extensions. |
|
|
117 | - new slag-ex extension for cleaning cauldrons. |
|
|
118 | - fix invoke result processing. |
|
|
119 | - there are even less i/o syncpoints in the server now. |
|
|
120 | - added map-tags extension that scans all maps for object tags |
|
|
121 | and records them in the database (not used yet). |
|
|
122 | - metaserver 2 support. |
|
|
123 | - many more bugfixes and minor optimisations. |
|
|
124 | |
|
|
125 | 2.1 Sun May 27 04:21:29 CEST 2007 |
|
|
126 | - optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be |
|
|
127 | skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions). |
|
|
128 | - complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |
|
|
129 | to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |
|
|
130 | to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes |
|
|
131 | one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). |
| 4 | - complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: |
