|
|
4 | - avoid newmap commands when crossing tiled map boundaries. this speeds up |
|
|
5 | processing considerably (especially in the client) and reduces data transfers |
|
|
6 | (saves roughly 1kb each crossing in typical configs). works even with gcfclient. |
|
|
7 | - (arch) fix typo in ixalovh treasurelist causing empty_archetypes to appear. |

|
|
11 | - bugfix: when unapplying skills also remove them from the range/combat slots. |

|
|
24 | stay in sync with the 0.9971 client update which also reverses ordering. |
|
|
25 | - bugfix: the jumping skill now gives experience for jumping |

|
|
88 | 2.52 Thu Apr 24 11:47:19 CEST 2008 |
|
|
89 | - completely automate the item add/delete on remove/insert. this should fix |
|
|
90 | all "ghost" item bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :) |
|
|

|
|
92 | accounting bugs caused by sloppy coding, as sloppy coding is now correct :) |
|

93 | - reloading archetypes while a user was in the character creation phase |
|
|
94 | could crash the server. |
|
|

|
|
96 | to "is this really correct?", as many of those cases are now handles |
|
|
97 | automatically by lower level code. |
|
|
98 | - replace many ad-hoc checks for client visibility by object::visible_to, |
|
|
99 | should result in broader applicability of functions using it. |
|
|
100 | - merge items with different arch pointers refering to the same arch |
|
|
101 | (due to archetype reloads). |
|
|
102 | - refactored the object remove/insert functions and most related |
|
|
103 | functions (decrease, split, merge_ob etc.). |
|

|
108 | optimisations. |

|
|
112 | |
|
|
113 | 2.51 Sun Apr 20 21:27:37 CEST 2008 |

|
|
115 | allocator thread-safe. |

|
|
117 | recommended configuration) (reported by Samuel Gondouin). |

|
|
