1Crossfire TRT Server, Maps and Archetypes ChangeLog 1Deliantra MORPG Server, Maps and Archetypes ChangeLog.
2 2
32.1 32.4
4 - fix bug in golem move code that would cause a crash at tiling borders.
5 - fix a freeze bug when looking for an arrow in the inventory.
6 - fix a bug in animate_weapon, causing a crash.
7 - no longer exit when a coroutine throws an exception.
8 - fix the "<player> is nuts" message.
9 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
10 - when players don't apply a savebed correctly but stand above one,
11 do not move or kill them.
12 - implement client-side settings page in playerbook (0.9963+ required).
13 - implement generic framework for server-side resource files.
14 - implement resource file update event.
15 - hook experience table update into the framework.
16 - move jeweler.yaml to resources (arch/).
17 - switch from Crossfire to Deliantra perl module.
18 - implement json2json arch filter.
19 - implement widget protocol version 2, support for ui templates.
20 - mapinfo is now handled fully asynchronously.
21 - ext/irc: also log irc messages.
22 - ext/schmorplog: write user stat files asynchronously.

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

1332.1 Sun May 27 04:21:29 CEST 2007

135 skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions).
