1Deliantra MORPG Server, Maps and Archetypes ChangeLog. 1Deliantra MORPG Server, Maps and Archetypes ChangeLog.
2Version numbers sort like decimal numbers.
2 3
3TODO: picking up the torches in nimbus seemingly works, but after 4TODO: apartment-descritpions for gotisch1/2
4 a while (used up?) they seem to be gone from the inv but the client doesn't know about that. 5TODO: it is possible to inventory-lock items on the floor, and *spomehow* possible to drop them.
5TODO: dragons should not be able to change their title via the settings tab in playerbook 6TODO: think about naking the rhyzian amulet useful - makes little sense in deliantra?
7TODO: cast invisible...
8TODO: random stuff should not be in compat.C
9TODO: mark apgl sections
10TODO: make containers accept match expressions
11 - some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told
12 multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL,
13 lock up the source code of the server within his company.
14 some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make
15 it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep
16 Deliantra free software even for the coming generations
17 and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing
18 good in mind for free software.
19 - clarify which files of the server are 100% AGPL.
20 - minor reorganisation, move some GPL code into other files.
21 - implement viewpoint (which is like observe, but only for the map,
22 not stats etc.).
23 - replace magic mapping overlay by a flying bird exposing area
24 on the worldmap (ext/magic_mapping.ext).
25 - @find in npc dialog was useless as the vairbale wasn't accessible.
26 - @find results in npc dialogue is now stored in $find.
27 - (maps) add lostwages and lorak (valdor/varsia) from cfextended.
28 - (maps, server) add lostwages and celvear apartments to rent system.
29 - (maps) closed guild houses, this is not scalable, ask your friendly
30 dm instead.
31 - (maps) add town portal to celvear.
32 - (maps, arch) add troll canyon, pygmy forest, elven moon and temple of justice
33 mapsets from crossfire, together with associated archetypes.
34 - (maps) add extended region descriptions for some regions from crossfire.
35 - (maps) define a new whalingoutpost region.
36 - (maps, arch) add all changes to mlab between 2006-08-01 and 2009-10-28,
37 and most archetypes that go with them (without stoning and swallow effects),
38 casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing.
39 - (maps, arch) add a number of minor maps from crossfire to scorn, navar
40 and santo dominion.
41 - (maps, arch) added gotischerbereich from cfextended, and some archetypes
42 to go with them. also adjusted archetypes to be more korrekt "gotisch".
43 - doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field.
44 - properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away.
45 - map-tags did not properly close it's database tables or wait
46 for a quiescent state, causing memory corruption on reload.
47 - support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions.
48 - skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps.
49 - implement ->send_big_packet and use it in ext_msg (among other things, this
50 fixes long answers from npc dialogue).
51 - connected magic mouths no longer spill to Log-1, but use the examine tab.
52 - (arch) change marker archetypes to not remove "marker" forces anymore
53 and to not add a "put your code here" force needlessly.
54 - (arch) fix or improve many plurals.
55 - markers do no longer add a force if the slaying field is unset.
56 - sped up search-items implementation, but it's still horrible.
57 - (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset.
58 - editor_folder can now be used to override whatever cfutil sets, and was
59 used to reogianise the illogical arch tree a bit.
60 - (maps) import most map names from crossfire.
61 - nuke image_sums/image_info subcommands from the protocol.
62 - fly_high movement gives better los, ignoring blocksview.

83 - got rid of motd/rules/news code in C++ part, move motd to it's own tab
84 and perl.

86 functionality (and more) inside the same object using the match expressions.
87 - create simpler match expression compiles in many common cases.
88 - reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member.
89 - removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage
90 of the new dynbuf::splice function (which gave an unexpected net win
91 in code size...).
92 - the server will no longer complain (and subtly fail) when an object
93 being removed from a map causes another object to get removed.
94 - banish strncpy from the server, speed up and simplify sending item
95 descriptions to the client considerably.
96 - add new "in head" set modifier for matches.

110
1112.81 Mon Oct 12 20:00:18 CEST 2009
112 - display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls,
113 but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators).
114 - fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags
115 2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where
116 and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this
117 allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to
118 walk on.
119 - fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code.
120 - examining an object now dumps the serialised object form when the user
121 is a wizard (wizlook).
122 - altars no longer accept unpaid items.
123 - party spells didn't work all that well.
124 - added complex object matching framework (cf::match), and make altars
125 and pedestals use it.
126 - identified skill-tools show what skill they grant.
127 - display the duration of change_ability spells when examining them
128 (missing: protection spells, but they are a hack...).
129 - improve effectiveness of special foods created by woodsman skill,
130 adding more variety to the different mushrooms.
131 - fix a minor cfpod formatting bug.
132 - do not talk about the hintmode so much - die-hards are expected to find

135 - clarified that all deliantra-specific parts are under the Affero GPL.
136 - enable the object loader to also dump archetypes.

138 - (maps) put the trapdoor above the floor in sisters/necro_ruins1.
139 - force the initial face when loading an object that is time-animated
140 or a monster, so it does not have to be specified anymore.
141 - fix a bug where recasting an ability changing spell could shorten
142 its remaining duration.
143 - fix pedestal and floor building with builder.
144 - fix RUNATT attack mode, which was broken before (used e.g. by mice).
145 - fix a broken bow-related speed optimisation by using splay - speed
146 up splay operations as well.
147 - use NDI_CLEAR for the body command, and make it use observe.

155
1562.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009
157 - fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation
158 that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :)
159 - split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix
160 all callers to use either one or the other, as appropriate. This
161 fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others.
162 - fixed an overflow and exploit in the bank/payment code.
163 - fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery'
164 to explain the skill a bit more.

176 - earth wall health bar is now correct.
177

209 /elmex/mana_fountain.
210 - store arrow->slaying in custom_name, to get rid of the spellarg slot.
211 - reduce size of casting_time, move_status, attack_movement,
212 last_heal and last_sp slots, squeezing some more space out of struct
213 object, also declare expmul as constant 1.0, as it isn't used
214 anywhere.

218 didn't work.

220 effects (w.r.t. put_more) per mapspace, to give the server a chance
221 to survive a hundred deathsheads.

269 when hashing strings.

271 whether the right cauldron is used.
272 - considerably optimise shared string implementation by
273 making its null value a compiletime constant.
274 - use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places,
275 as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently,
276 for lots of code size savings.

297 - the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens
298 other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations.
299 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when

316 - add more hints, fix some messages.
317 - fix a bug: firing rods should tell you something about them.

324 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
325 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
326 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
327 of dumbly just clearing los once.
328 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
329 and has a smaller runtime variance.
330 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
331 making them actually useful.
332 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
333 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
334 speedup, as well as in many other places.

339 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.

345 newlines.
346 - increase monster detection radius from wis/5 to wis/3.

386 - rewrote skill cache (last_skill_ob) system and usage - might
387 be less erratic now.

389 (to avoid writing it in early crashes).
390 - pathsync the directory after saving a file for added slowdown^Wsafety.
