- (maps) the mana fountain now has a ratelimit of 30 potions per hour. |
| 61 |
- (maps) added (navar) gravedigger, that buys players gravestones. |
| 62 |
- (maps) added the rathouse quest for the shockwave spell in navar |
| 63 |
(by Dustfinger). |
| 64 |
- (maps) Fixed bad floor tile in navar apartment. |
| 65 |
- made (wizard) look_at show also uuids. |
| 66 |
- added cf::object::find_object_uuid (::find_object already exists!). |
| 67 |
- (maps) added new apartment, made by LinuxLemoner. |
| 68 |
- (maps) added quest for the mining skill scroll to valleynoy. |
| 69 |
- (arch) added sounds: zombie death, book reading, inscription. |
| 70 |

| 71 |
- (arch, maps) added black unicorn horn, required to access mlab hell. |
| 72 |

| 73 |
and made them a bit more expensive. |
| 74 |
- (maps) add more glory hole treasure styles. |
| 75 |
- do not update the floorbox while running, to avoid big item |
| 76 |
updates that cost network bandwidth and processing power. |
| 77 |
- diseases could reduce a monsters speed to MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, which |
| 78 |
caused overflows causing monsters to become living deads. |
| 79 |
- unapply weapons and armour before trying to improve it. |
| 80 |
- teach the random map generator the ability to read ".rmg" files |
| 81 |
that specify which actual style map to generate, and use it for |
| 82 |
the default decorstyle to avoid inappropriate maps to be used. |
| 83 |
- support (with some limitations) multiple different skills with the |
| 84 |
same subtype. |
| 85 |
- fix "nekosan duplication" bug - map swap out was not atomic, |
| 86 |
so nekosan could end up beign saved AND escaped to another map. |
| 87 |
- show invisible no longer makes magic mouths visible. |
| 88 |
- move_type changes (spells, skills etc.) now will correctly |
| 89 |
take move_on/move_off into account (e.g. buttons). |
| 90 |
- display (exit) or (random map) in client for those objects. |
| 91 |
- removed (useless) spell damage columns from spell info and replace |
| 92 |
it by effective casting level - clients > 2.10 required to display |
| 93 |
properly. |
| 94 |
- building of levers/doors works again for all kinds of floors. |
| 95 |
- the player can now withdraw and deposit all the available money. |
| 96 |
- (maps) fix the apartment shop (japan => 吾妻) and add descriptions for |
| 97 |
steinwandstadt/celvear. |
| 98 |
- (maps) added /goodies map (goto *idkfa) with stuff useful for testing. |
| 99 |
- improve editor support protoocl slightly, provide workarounds for 2.10 |
| 100 |
clients. |
| 101 |
- tcp.ext didn't unbind in reloads. |
| 102 |
- map-tags.ext didn't properly close the database on reloads. |
| 103 |
- cfutil skips .-directories when scanning. |
| 104 |
- build.ext prevents players from building on other player's maps. |
| 105 |
- rent.ext allows the dm to enter anytime. |
| 106 |
- NPC_Dialogue adds a new predefined variable, $map. |
| 107 |
- new "build" event hook. |
| 108 |
- get rid of archetype min/max values except max_x (which should go, too). |
| 109 |
- added fix_generated_item and cf::object::generate to XS interface. |
| 110 |
- no longer use uppercase identifiers for saving anywhere, but support |
| 111 |
them on loading, for old playerfiles and maps. |
| 112 |
- removed is_legal_2ways_exit - this is apparently dead code, and |
| 113 |
would be handled differently nowadays anyway. |
| 114 |
- random map .meta were not being expired at all. |
| 115 |
- replace move_ob/move_object functiony by the equivalent move method. |
| 116 |
- update to automake 1.10. |
| 117 |
- invitation to maps with unagressive and friendly monsters doesn't |
| 118 |
require level 4 anymore. |
| 119 |
- do not let update_stats muck with the chosen_skill anymore. |
| 120 |
- monsters now rotate through all skills (in chosen_skill). |
| 121 |
- fix lots of path-related buffer overflows in the random map generator. |
| 122 |
- added detect mineral vein spell. |
| 123 |
- support "wall overlays" in the random map generator - not very generic, |
| 124 |
used by minable veins. |
| 125 |
- (maps) relocated jeweler town to another directoy. |
| 126 |
- (arch) implement mining pickaxes and mining skill. |
| 127 |
- (arch) add missing stonebig_club archetype from cfextended. |
| 128 |
- generate most constants for perl automatically. |
| 129 |
- properly check for weapon name prefix ("Ragnarok's sword"). |
| 130 |
- when player dies, restore his food to at least 200. |
| 131 |
- support multiple inheritance for arch sources (inherit a,b,c). |
| 132 |
- switch to storable-n-format for facedata, for better interoperability. |
| 133 |
- implement generic "ranged" item framework (pickaxe, fishing rod). |
| 134 |
- the singing skill actually respects the direction now. |
| 135 |
- oratory and singing now require a direction. |
| 136 |
- use_skill now requires that you can actually apply the skill tool. |
| 137 |
- do not invoke perl on every user command anymore by providing |
| 138 |
a comamnd and an unknown_command event. |
| 139 |
- move mark, run, run_stop, fire and fire_stop commands back from |
| 140 |
perl to C++, for speed reasons (basically undo patchset 1304). |
| 141 |
- add a client_destroy event, so we don't have to hook the |
| 142 |
attachable destroy event (which is called much more often). |
| 143 |
- removed (unused) FLOOR object type. |
| 144 |
- fix errornous change_abil messages for rods (and other types). |
| 145 |
- remove include/commands.h and server/c_new.C, and refactor |
| 146 |
all into server/commands.C. |
| 147 |
- save and restore combat/ranged/current slot for players. |
| 148 |
- the server now batches item's face/fx commands, as opposed |
| 149 |
to sending one fx per item - helps mostly at connect and |
| 150 |
with floorbox updates. |
| 151 |
- implemented ext::player_env::play_music_once $who->contr, "km/...". |
| 152 |
- the random map generator now supports selecting difficult for |
| 153 |
more style categories than just monsters (all except fountains |
| 154 |
apparently). |
| 155 |
- object serialiser no longer creates empty "owner" references. |
| 156 |
- make sure failed castings take some time, too, to avoid being |
| 157 |
smitten by your god. |
| 158 |
- many more failmsgs and help texts. |
| 159 |
- support log suspension/resumption, e.g. for defragmenting. |
| 160 |
- stop thrown objects when their speed goes too low. |
| 161 |
- log the number of unique logins seen every minute in a compact |
| 162 |
format (for statistics). |
| 163 |
- do not send delitem for players. |
| 164 |
- support static scalar data members properly in genacc now. |
| 165 |
- implement "simple" freelist management for objects. |
| 166 |
- recycle object counts now - to support longer uptimes. |
| 167 |
- got rid of the dreaded write_parameters_to_string (666 chars omitted) |
| 168 |
function (and yes, 666 is exact!). |
| 169 |
- random map generator results should now be fully repeatable. |
| 170 |
- fixed possible crash bug in build code. |
| 171 |
- rename find_marked_object to ->mark and speed up. |
| 172 |
- player movers properly destroy themselves when used up, instead |
| 173 |
of leaking. |
| 174 |
- do not show msg for unidentified objects that need identification. |
| 175 |
- convert formulae/bookarch/settings file parser to thawer framework. |
| 176 |
- finally get rid of fgets (..., thawer) and use a much cleaner |
| 177 |
next_line method. |
| 178 |
- use nicer file format for exp_table and attackmess |
| 179 |
(more like other resource files). |
| 180 |
- make parse errors during server startup fatal. |
| 181 |
|
| 182 |
2.93 Sat Feb 13 15:52:36 CET 2010 |
| 183 |
- (maps) fix travel to valdor and back. |
| 184 |
- do no longer by default eval map cod ein safe compartments |
| 185 |
(this can be re-enabled using the safe_eval config option). |
| 186 |
- (maps) fix an apparent crash bug caused by broken generstors |
| 187 |
in lorak. |
| 188 |
- fix data corruption issues caused by recursive calls to |
| 189 |
unordered_mapwalk - now every caller must provide its own |
| 190 |
buffer. |
| 191 |
- (maps) improve tindervale maps slightly. |
| 192 |
- (arch) considerably decrease slag ex price. |
| 193 |
- (arch) fix filth archetype. |
| 194 |
- extension dependency resolve was completely broken. |
| 195 |
- multipart objects would cause save_throw_object to crash - it |
| 196 |
now acts on the head only. |
| 197 |
- do not try to connect to an irc server unless explicitly configured. |
| 198 |
- do not expect decltype() to be available in gcc 4.4. |
| 199 |
- extended the safe perl environment by loops. |
| 200 |
- (arch) fix "armless cook" facings. |
| 201 |
- the "experience table" resource item did not have a proper |
| 202 |
hash associated with it, so updates could not be detected. |
| 203 |
- fixed poison traps in doors. |
| 204 |
- player->killer_name did not properly flag the name as unicode. |
| 205 |
- aggressively mark many more methods as utf8 or octet-expecting, |
| 206 |
and provide a non-destructive SvPVutf8 variant. |
| 207 |
- do not allow dragon players to change their title via the settings. |
| 208 |
- ratelimited jeweler skill nugget conversion. |
| 209 |
- under high load, the server stopped swapping out to make |
| 210 |
the server more responsive, but making it impossible to reduce |
| 211 |
the load by... swapping out. slot queuing will now always make |
| 212 |
some progress. |
| 213 |
- improve the quality of the load-avg calculation. |
| 214 |
- (maps) fixed quest npc in jeweler dungeon quest. |
| 215 |
- don't fail to write the runtime file if the temporary already exists. |
| 216 |
- ipo.ext no longer uses (synchronous) CFDB, stores mail directly at |
| 217 |
player now. |
| 218 |
- rewrote hiscore code from scratch to use async I/O, store uuid and |
| 219 |
timestamp and use a tab in the client to increase awareness. |
| 220 |
- npc dialog setflag/setsatte now check for defined'ness, so |
| 221 |
setflag 0 is possible. |
| 222 |
- make install now deletes old extensions, to ease upgrades in the |
| 223 |
deliantra vm. |
| 224 |
|
| 225 |
2.92 Thu Dec 24 04:51:56 CET 2009 |
| 226 |
- the destruction spell could/would corrupt server memory quite often. |
| 227 |
- logging in only fixed the combat slot when the palyer was loaded from |
| 228 |
disk, not when it already was in memory. |
| 229 |
- cede in wait_for_tick* when the tivck is inhibited hopefully |
| 230 |
avoiding livelock during high-load emergency saves. |
| 231 |
- logging in did not properly unapply all skills. |
| 232 |
- (maps) make the invite quest marking much more obvious. |
| 233 |
- (arch) fix warrior archetype names. |
| 234 |
- map prefetching never prefetch upwards. |
| 235 |
- wizpass no longer makes you non-blocking. |
| 236 |
- (maps) add light to some of the special maps, add troll |
| 237 |
map. |
| 238 |
|
| 239 |
2.91 Mon Nov 30 10:18:09 CET 2009 |
| 240 |
- (maps) add gorokh_final mapset from crossfire. |
| 241 |
- (maps) block most vault-type mlab locations, open up |
| 242 |
imperial converters for anybody to use. |
| 243 |
- (maps, arch) replace all permanent stat potions by random |
| 244 |
variants. |
| 245 |
- (maps) spread gorokh demon styles more evenly over 1..100. |
| 246 |
- TRIGGER events got passed a garbage pointer instead of a |
| 247 |
real player object on player changes. |
| 248 |
- diseases and maybe other things could sometimes reduce the speed |
| 249 |
to below MIN_ACTIVE_SPEED, deactivating the monster and causing |
| 250 |
much grief. |
| 251 |
- speed_left randomisation was, apparently, totally broken. |
| 252 |
- introduce FLAG_RANDOM_SPEED instead of using the sign bit |
| 253 |
of the speed slot internally and in map save files. among other |
| 254 |
things, this gets rid of all the abs (speed) calls. |
| 255 |
- reduce map file save files by using abridged keywords aliases. |
| 256 |
- shop specialisation calculation was totally broken. |
| 257 |
- nrof/itemcount/volume limits when dropping to the floor are |
| 258 |
now enforced. |
| 259 |
- fix magic mapping, which only worked for inate spell casting. |
| 260 |
- godgiven items will now be explicitly described as such. |
| 261 |
- (arch) dded a quiver of bolts. |
| 262 |
- materialnames would change "randomly" on every load, only |
| 263 |
set the material when the materialname was not set before. |
| 264 |
- balancing change, halve rod recharge speed (instead |
| 265 |
of 4.8s, the standard rods now recharge in ~10s. not a solution, |
| 266 |
but still. |
| 267 |
- reduce cpu time used for map saving by >>50% by avoiding |
| 268 |
the costly flag-checking loop in most cases and using a simple |
| 269 |
repeat-cache for speed_left. |
| 270 |
- always delay stats update for players on insert/remove till |
| 271 |
next tick/command, which saves a lot of cpu cycles on drop/take. |
| 272 |
- add hint about havign to run to attach unaggressive npcs. |

2.90 Sat Nov 7 15:06:06 CET 2009 |
| 320 |
- some Andrew Madloch wanted, despite being specifically told |
| 321 |
multiple times that the Deliantra parts additions are under AGPL, |
| 322 |
lock up the source code of the server within his company. |
| 323 |
some reorganisations have been done to the sourcecode to make |
| 324 |
it clearer that this violates the Affero GPL. Help to keep |
| 325 |
Deliantra free software even for the coming generations |
| 326 |
and be wary of the promises of Andrew Madloch, he has nothing |
| 327 |
good in mind for free software. |

| 347 |
casino tokens and stock certificates are also missing. |

- doors/containers can now use "match ..." expressions for the slaying field. |
| 353 |
- properly close client-side dialogue when the player is teleported away. |

- support "stat.xyz" accessor in match expressions. |
| 357 |
- skip /styles and /editor directories in cf::map::static_maps. |
| 358 |

| 359 |
fixes long answers from npc dialogue). |
| 360 |
- connected magic mouths no longer spill to Log-1, but use the examine tab. |
| 361 |
- (arch) change marker archetypes to not remove "marker" forces anymore |
| 362 |

| 366 |
- (maps) bigchests are now properly non-unique, per_player and no_reset. |

| 395 |
corrupted if the length was >255. |
| 396 |

| 399 |
- implemented new "match" type that combines both check_inv and pedestal |
| 400 |
functionality (and more) inside the same object using the match expressions. |
| 401 |
- create simpler match expression compiles in many common cases. |
| 402 |
- reduce object size by removing obsolete "seen_by" member. |
| 403 |
- removed the rather broken make_list_like utility function, taking advantage |
| 404 |
of the new dynbuf::splice function (which gave an unexpected net win |
| 405 |
in code size...). |
| 406 |
- the server will no longer complain (and subtly fail) when an object |
| 407 |
being removed from a map causes another object to get removed. |

| 426 |
- display spell description for spellbooks, rods, wands, potion and scrolls, |
| 427 |
but not horns (to make them more useful for content-creators). |
| 428 |
- fix a number of bugs in check_move_on: 1) it didn't update the flags |
| 429 |
2) it skipped spell effects and 3) it didn't handle the case where |
| 430 |
and object was destroyed while iterating over it correctly. all this |
| 431 |
allowed players to sometimes walk onto spaces they should not be able to |
| 432 |
walk on. |
| 433 |
- fix an exploit where inscription/marking runes could execute arbitrary code. |
| 434 |
- examining an object now dumps the serialised object form when the user |

| 441 |
- display the duration of change_ability spells when examining them |

(missing: protection spells, but they are a hack...). |
| 443 |
- improve effectiveness of special foods created by woodsman skill, |
| 444 |
adding more variety to the different mushrooms. |
| 445 |
- fix a minor cfpod formatting bug. |

the hintmode setting on the settings page. |
| 448 |
- IPO no longer lies about prices; prices tweaked. |
| 449 |
- clarified that all deliantra-specific parts are under the Affero GPL. |

| 456 |
its remaining duration. |

| 469 |
|
| 470 |
2.80 Tue Sep 15 20:22:31 CEST 2009 |
| 471 |
- fix the "screen stays black on login" bug and remove debug instrumentation |
| 472 |
that ultimately was not helpful to catch it :) |
| 473 |
- split outer_env into outer_env and outer_env_self, and fix |
| 474 |
all callers to use either one or the other, as appropriate. This |
| 475 |
fixes the (rather fragile) light spell, maybe others. |
| 476 |
- fixed an overflow and exploit in the bank/payment code. |
| 477 |
- fixed a bug in the jeweler quest and added the 'Tome of Jewelery' |
| 478 |
to explain the skill a bit more. |
| 479 |
- removed a buggy check for zero attacktype. So that we might find |
| 480 |
the real bugs in the archs/maps/objects. |
| 481 |
- Fixed enabling torches with lighters. |
| 482 |
- (maps) Added Heaven Town region. |
| 483 |
- (arch+maps) Fixed & normalized warriors on map |
| 484 |
/quests/peterm/CTower/Barracks. |

- fix the light spell (and possibly diseases and other lights). |
| 486 |
- (arch) The clawing skill didn't have the physical attacktype. |
| 487 |

| 488 |
a long time ago, and similar cases are still to be found in the maps. |
| 489 |
- make the socket_timeout configurable in the code (but not yet for users). |
| 490 |
- earth wall health bar is now correct. |
| 491 |
|
| 492 |

| 523 |
/elmex/mana_fountain. |
| 524 |
- store arrow->slaying in custom_name, to get rid of the spellarg slot. |
| 525 |
- reduce size of casting_time, move_status, attack_movement, |
| 526 |
last_heal and last_sp slots, squeezing some more space out of struct |
| 527 |
object, also declare expmul as constant 1.0, as it isn't used |
| 528 |
anywhere. |
| 529 |
|
| 530 |

didn't work. |
| 533 |
- aggressively merge spell effects and do not allow more than 5 spell |
| 534 |
effects (w.r.t. put_more) per mapspace, to give the server a chance |
| 535 |
to survive a hundred deathsheads. |
| 536 |

| 537 |
disastrous bug of unfortunately unknown proportions... |

| 545 |
- use better dependency tracking for include/keyword.h. |
| 546 |

| 548 |
or simply to commit suicide. |
| 549 |

| 550 |

in class selection. |
| 560 |

| 582 |
- replace one-at-a-time hash by faster than smaller FNV-1a hash |
| 583 |
when hashing strings. |
| 584 |
- sanitized alchemy-like skills and cauldrons to check earlier |
| 585 |
whether the right cauldron is used. |
| 586 |
- considerably optimise shared string implementation by |
| 587 |
making its null value a compiletime constant. |
| 588 |
- use shared string matching insteafd of strcmp in a lot of places, |
| 589 |
as well as using shstr_cmp to pass shared stringsa round efficiently, |
| 590 |
for lots of code size savings. |
| 591 |
- monsters which breed new monsters shouldn't breed new monsters when |

| 611 |
- the new los code supports arbitrary map rectangles and loosens |
| 612 |
other restrictions of the old code, supporting further optimisations. |
| 613 |
- update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when |
| 614 |
removed (e.g. for summon fog). |
| 615 |
- permanent invisibility doesn't make immune against making noise: |
| 616 |
implement a noise system that allows monsters to locate the player |
| 617 |
when he/she makes noise. |
| 618 |

| 619 |
players. |
| 620 |

| 624 |
the guards from being killed by players. |

- (maps) lots of tweaks in and around scorn. |
| 626 |

| 645 |
making them actually useful. |

- implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20% |
| 648 |

| 651 |
when sending map changes. |

- remove most gcfclient and other client bug workarounds, as well |
| 653 |
as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code. |

| 978 |
- add uuid accessors to perl. |
| 979 |
- add coin names and archetype accessors to perl. |
| 980 |
- fix runtime uuid file format to use "." instead of ",". |
| 981 |
- change perl extensions to not use hardcoded coins and values. |
| 982 |

| 983 |
and be more parsimonous of uuid usage by the exact value out on exit. |
| 984 |
- write log messages in another thread, removing another sync point. |
| 985 |
- support multi-line log messages in a nicer way. |
| 986 |
- be more portable w.r.t. uuids and format specifiers everywhere. |
| 987 |
- fix a minor memleak in the random map generator. |
| 988 |
- some parts of the random map generator are not coroutine-safe, |
| 989 |
so only call it "single-threaded". |
| 990 |
- major cleanup of memory management in random map generator. |
| 991 |
- slight refactoring of the random map generator, faster too. |
| 992 |
- solve the "slice_alloc becomes negative" mystery - no allocation bug, |
| 993 |
bookkeeping bug. |
| 994 |
- work around "player is on active list" problem by deactivating player |
| 995 |
after loading. |
| 996 |
- garbage collect shstr's more evenly and adaptively only when |
| 997 |
there have in fact been allocations. |
| 998 |

| 999 |
if necessary. |
| 1000 |

when mlockall has been used. |
| 1010 |
- pass environment to perl_sys_init3, as required by newer perls. |
| 1011 |
- use separate thread for ticker timing (and more in the future). |
| 1012 |
this greatly increases timing accuracy and gets rid of an enourmous |
| 1013 |
number of gettimeofday calls. |
| 1014 |
- use a separate thread to signal aio completion, for lower latency. |
| 1015 |
- require Coro 4.47, which fixes a data corruption bug with its C API. |
| 1016 |
|
| 1017 |
2.42 Sat Mar 15 12:05:21 CET 2008 |

| 1024 |
|
| 1025 |
2.41 Fri Jan 25 13:15:37 CET 2008 |
| 1026 |
- get rid of YAML::Syck, it's too buggy and misparses many files |
| 1027 |
(this fixes the jeweler skill). |
| 1028 |
- back-to-back perl_reloads don't freeze the ticker anymore. |
| 1029 |
- convert cfutil from Event to EV (forgot to do this earlier...). |
| 1030 |
- move tombstone to real map if player died due to cave-in (even if |
| 1031 |
it has reset, which is better than putting it on the savebed, also as |
| 1032 |
proof that the player didn't use a savebed). |
| 1033 |
|
| 1034 |
2.4 Sun Jan 13 13:41:29 CET 2008 |
| 1035 |

- when players don't apply a savebed correctly but stand above one, |
| 1045 |
do not move or kill them. |
| 1046 |
- implement client-side settings page in playerbook (0.9963+ required). |
| 1047 |

- mapinfo is now handled fully asynchronously. |
| 1055 |
- ext/irc: also log irc messages. |

2.32 Sun Dec 2 18:11:01 CET 2007 |
| 1059 |
- limited the number of items that can be picked up and dropped |
| 1060 |
as temporary measurement against bad performance or dropping things |
| 1061 |
(this lead to long freezes and triggered the watchdog). |
| 1062 |
- improved the performance of the drop command a bit. |
| 1063 |
- switch from Event to EV for higher performance, easier usage, |
| 1064 |
less bugs... |
| 1065 |
- updated to release version of the gnu affero license. |
| 1066 |
|
| 1067 |
2.31 Sun Nov 11 17:26:28 CET 2007 |
| 1068 |
- more thoroughly rename the binaries, contact addresses. |
| 1069 |
- update the copyrights. |
| 1070 |
- avoid backtraces due to old spells on some maps, sometimes causing |
| 1071 |
crashes. |
| 1072 |
- fix a problem where facedata wasn't initialised to zero properly, |
| 1073 |
potentially causing crashes. |
| 1074 |
- assign weapons on user load time, not login-time, avoiding |

| 1078 |
- fixed an important bug that caused passwords to be forgotten. |
| 1079 |
- implement *tag destinations for goto, slaying etc. and use it |
| 1080 |
in some of the maps. |
| 1081 |
- bigworldised many maps (islands as in pupland and aldwulf), |
| 1082 |
which is now trivial to do. |
| 1083 |
- removed all traces of the old (and never working) plug-in interface |
| 1084 |
(70kb code less on amd64). |
| 1085 |
- improve/tune scheduling priorities. |
| 1086 |
- fix some freezing bugs. |
| 1087 |
- fix a memory corruption problem in dynbuf.printf. |
| 1088 |

| 1093 |
|
| 1094 |
2.2 Tue Sep 11 15:41:24 CEST 2007 |

| 1101 |
- replace limited sound api with server-provided sound effects. |
| 1102 |
- new sc (sound control) protocol command. |
| 1103 |
- improve fxix protocol to include types. |
| 1104 |
- exactly fill tcp segments, if possible. |
| 1105 |
- output-rate is now an upper limit, the server will automatically |
| 1106 |
(and quite perfectly) adjust to the network conditions, ensuring |
| 1107 |
low latency even during bulk transfers (music, images, sounds etc.). |
| 1108 |
- implement server-side widgets (i.e. client widgets controlled |
| 1109 |
in the server side). this will allow future expansion without |
| 1110 |
having to upgrade clients. |
| 1111 |
- implement a (artwork) world map with realtime player position |
| 1112 |
tracking. |
| 1113 |
- new and more efficient extcmd (server still supports old extcmd |
| 1114 |
protocol). |
| 1115 |
- fixed lots of underflow/overflow bugs in diseases and general stats |
| 1116 |
calcluation that could be easily exploited by users. |
| 1117 |
- rebalanced diseases to spread more naturally/evenly. |
| 1118 |
- completely asynchronous map loading even for tiled maps. |
| 1119 |
- replace simple messaging protocol with channels carrying metadata |
| 1120 |
(similar to message types, but more directed at the user). |
| 1121 |
- reduce command processing latency by a whopping 120ms by |
| 1122 |
reordering some processing steps inside the server. this directly |
| 1123 |
reduces lag by 120ms. |
| 1124 |
- actually send spell faces to the client. |
| 1125 |
- implement player genders. |
| 1126 |
- unclean logout/login results in: nothing if map hasn't reset, |
| 1127 |
otherwise return to savebed and possible kill if the log-out |
| 1128 |
was for too long. |
| 1129 |
- fast socket-dead detection (kick player after 8 seconds without ack). |
| 1130 |
- greatly reduce the cpu time needed to draw maps _again_. |
| 1131 |
- archetypes are now subclasses of objects. |
| 1132 |
- rebalanced shop greed and approval functions to be more realistic |
| 1133 |
(and likely match the actual intention). |
| 1134 |
- implement "crossfire pod" format for messages, with working bold, |
| 1135 |
italic, gender-specific text, paragraphs etc. |
| 1136 |
- implemented hint framework, players can opt to receive hints. |
| 1137 |
- implemented (long) book framework, added some books from the cf wiki. |
| 1138 |
- implement generic message framework that uses xml, utf8 for the client |
| 1139 |
protocol and is capable of transmitting generic meta information. |
| 1140 |
- implement (in a suboptimal way) per-player instantiated maps. |
| 1141 |
- replace the nexus by a per-player tutorial map that teaches stuff |
| 1142 |
better than the newbie house. |
| 1143 |
- fix the magicmap colours. |
| 1144 |
- optimise map update even more by removing unneeded code and checks. |
| 1145 |
- decouple map and stats update from pl->ob and use pl->observe instead. |
| 1146 |
- implement observe command. |
| 1147 |
- major speed up in map refresh by replacing most get_map_from_coord |
| 1148 |
calls with a simple comparison. |
| 1149 |
- fix a latent crossfire bug that could crash the server because the |
| 1150 |
map refresh did not update the mapspace. |
| 1151 |
- support custom keys for regions and maps, regions are now |
| 1152 |
refcount-managed. |
| 1153 |
- allow worldmap overlays anywhere in the 000..999 range. |
| 1154 |
- new system to acquire time slices for background jobs, to reduce |
| 1155 |
jitter. |
| 1156 |
- semi-persistent object-referencing framework (currently only players |
| 1157 |
supported). |
| 1158 |
- dependency tracking for perl extensions. |
| 1159 |
- new slag-ex extension for cleaning cauldrons. |
| 1160 |
- fix invoke result processing. |
| 1161 |
- there are even less i/o syncpoints in the server now. |
| 1162 |
- added map-tags extension that scans all maps for object tags |
| 1163 |
and records them in the database (not used yet). |
| 1164 |
- metaserver 2 support. |
| 1165 |
- many more bugfixes and minor optimisations. |
| 1166 |
|
| 1167 |
2.1 Sun May 27 04:21:29 CEST 2007 |
| 1168 |
- optimised event invocation (non-wanted events can now be |
| 1169 |
skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions). |
| 1170 |
- complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |
| 1171 |
to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |
| 1172 |
to the town and back, anybody can use it (also removes |
| 1173 |
one of the remaining syncpoints in the server). |
| 1174 |
- complete rewrite of the range/attack skill slot system: |
| 1175 |
there are now two slots, one for combat, one for ranged |
| 1176 |
attacks. |
| 1177 |
- introduce the concept of a current weapon (either a ranged |
| 1178 |
or a combat weapon/skill/tool) and switch between them as |
| 1179 |
needed. |
| 1180 |
- rewrite bow code so bows get more useful: apply damage, |
| 1181 |
attacktype and other stats to the arrows and treat |
| 1182 |
bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill |
| 1183 |
so its damage increases with level. |
| 1184 |
- rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now |
| 1185 |
works as documented and there are no unnatural speed boosts. |
| 1186 |
- implement a utility - cfutil - that simplifies arch and map |
| 1187 |
installation, replacing the old collect scripts and |
| 1188 |
simplying deployment by scaling and cutting faces as required. |
| 1189 |
- simplify the map protocol extensively by taking advantage |
| 1190 |
of missing bigfaces, speeding up map generation immensely. |
| 1191 |
- implement inherit keyword allowing archetypes to inherit from |
| 1192 |
other archetypes. |
| 1193 |
- rationalise archetype, region and treasurelist file format |
| 1194 |
into a single file format and make them reloadable asynchronously. |
| 1195 |
- make the worldmap, facedata (smoothing, faces, magicmap) |
| 1196 |
reloadable at runtime. |
| 1197 |
- implement 64x64 faceset support. |
| 1198 |
- implement fxixsx protocol that saves |
| 1199 |
a lot of bandwidth over the old image/face/smooth packets |
| 1200 |
and allows images > packetsize, incremental and background |
| 1201 |
transfers. |
| 1202 |
- implement a bandwidth-saving smoothing protocol that works |
| 1203 |
on a face basis as opposed to a mapspace basis. |
| 1204 |
- the server can now rate-limit image uploads to not exceed |
| 1205 |
a certain (client-configurable) speed while guarenteeing full |
| 1206 |
freedom of movement. |
| 1207 |
- implement new ex command to request item descriptions. |
| 1208 |
- implement new msg command for in-game messages with meta |
| 1209 |
information (using xml). |
| 1210 |
- enforce utf-8 for all text messages. |
| 1211 |
- added micropather (not used yet). |
| 1212 |
- many, many bugfixes. |
| 1213 |
|
| 1214 |
2.0 Tue Mar 6 15:22:53 CET 2007 |
| 1215 |
- make coroapi accessible to cf+. |
| 1216 |
- moved map handling logic completely to perl |
| 1217 |
- per player maps are now marked in the map |
| 1218 |
- maps are saved completely differently now, |
| 1219 |
and much more often. |
| 1220 |
- rewrote map header parser and writer, to be much faster. |
| 1221 |
- maps and players are now (in the average case) loaded |
| 1222 |
and saved completely asynchronously, I/O contention will no |
| 1223 |
longer freeze the server. |
| 1224 |
- players and maps can be loaded anytime, without the player |
| 1225 |
being logged in. |
| 1226 |
- automatically generate method interfaces for perl from headers |
| 1227 |
- unbundled freezethaw |
| 1228 |
- mostly rewrote common/map.C |
| 1229 |
- completely rewrite server/swap.C |
| 1230 |
- introduced "runtime", the CCT clock (corrected crossfire time) :) |
| 1231 |
- introduced new keyword for map files: file_format_version (integer, server version: 0) |
| 1232 |
- better message for apply failures due to applymode |
| 1233 |
- removed most all of the weather code |
| 1234 |
- unified logging to stderr and file |
| 1235 |
- too many minor changes to document |
| 1236 |
|
