01-21-2012	Turley
Fixed	RequestInputUC() for eg russian chars

01-16-2012	Turley
Changed	SpeedUp for uoconvert

01-14-2012	Turley
Changed	UnicodespeechEvent additional Member "tokens" if speech has (speech.mul) Tokens, gives array of spoken TokenIDs
Added	servspecopt.cfg SeperateSpeechTokens=1/0 default 0 when set RegisterForSpeechEvents() and EnableEvents/DisableEvents behave different
Added	uo:RegisterForSpeechEvents Flags LISTENPT_HEAR_TOKENS,LISTENPT_NO_SPEECH
Added	SYSEVENT_TOKEN_SPEECH:=0x4000 and SYSEVENT_TOKEN_GHOST_SPEECH:=0x8000 for uo:EnableEvents/DisableEvents
Note	if SeperateSpeechTokens is set you can control which events you get, for NPCs you only get speech with tokens if you set SYSEVENT_TOKEN_SPEECH/SYSEVENT_TOKEN_GHOST_SPEECH and non Token speech with SYSEVENT_SPEECH,SYSEVENT_GHOST_SPEECH for RegisterForSpeechEvents() you get speech with and without Tokens when setting LISTENPT_HEAR_TOKENS and no speech without Tokens setting LISTENPT_NO_SPEECH
Note	Token and nonToken Eventtype is still the same (SYSEVENT_SPEECH)

01-03-2012	Turley
Changed	major rewrite of primitive operators +,-,*,/,... major speedup of +=,-=,...
Added	finally support for +=,-=,*=,/=,%= with objectmembers, like who.resist_fire_mod+=1
Note	if member would return UnInit or Error it does nothing so its like (only faster and atomic): var temp:=who.resist_fire_mod; if (!(TypeOfInt(temp) in {OT_UNINIT,OT_ERROR})) temp+=1; who.resist_fire_mod:=temp; endif

01-02-2012	Turley
Added	XMLFile/XMLNode.removexmlnode(int value) removes node of given index XMLFile/XMLNode.removexmlnode(XmlNode node) removes given node XmlNode.clonenode() since all NodeObjects get destroyed when the corresponding XmlFileObject is destroyed, use this method to store a node for later use.

12-18-2011	Nando
Changed	internal handling of intrinsic weapons' unload.
Removed	INTRINSIC property from Weapon template in itemdesc.cfg. An error occurs if it's set. Some shards might have forgot to set it, which would cause damage to intrinsic wrestling weapon. This is now handled automatically.

12-17-2011	Nando
Changed	boats.cfg entries are now "Name Graphic X Y <Z>", where Z is optional and defaults to zero.

12-17-2011	Tomi

12-14-2011	Tomi
Removed	pol.cfg MaxObjtype limit removed, now it accepts up to 0xFFFFFFFF ( 4294967295 ) but try to keep it as low as possible, default value still 0x20000
Changed	objtype vectors changed to maps to only reserve as much memory as there are itemdesc entries, not reserving memory for up to 4 billions of objtypes.
Changed	boats.cfg entries changed from "Name Graphic X Y" to "Name Graphic X Y Z" because some of the new boat components requires different Z levels than the boat itself.

12-13-2011	Austin
Added	Support for destroy scripts on multis.

12-13-2011	Tomi
Added	Support for HSA boats ( no smooth move yet, but now all boats are usable )
Changed	boat.cfg to support new entries "Rope", "Wheel", "Hull", "Tiller", "Rudder", "Sails", "Storage", "Weaponslot" there can be more than 1 of each entry the old entries "Tillerman", "Hold", "PortGangplankExtended", "PortGangplankRetracted", "StarboarGangplankExtended", "StarboardGangplankRetracted" support just 1 entry each or the boat members get broken
Added	ReadOnly members for boats .components returns an array of ItemRefs of all the components on the boat .hull returns an array of ItemRefs of all the hull components on the boat, or empty array if none. .rope returns an array of ItemRefs of all the rope components on the boat, or empty array if none. .wheel returns an array of ItemRefs of all the wheel components on the boat, or empty array if none. .rudder returns an array of ItemRefs of all the rudder components on the boat, or empty array if none. .tiller returns an array of ItemRefs of all the tiller components on the boat, or empty array if none. .sails returns an array of ItemRefs of all the sails components on the boat, or empty array if none. .storage returns an array of ItemRefs of all the storage components on the boat, or empty array if none. .weaponslot returns an array of ItemRefs of all the weaponslot components on the boat, or empty array if none. Changed extobj.cfg to support new entries for all the new boat component types and changed the default value of all entries. extobj.cfg entries with default values: Tillerman=0x1F010 Port_Plank=0x1F011 Starboard_Plank=0x1F012 Hold=0x1F013 Rope=0x1F014 Wheel=0x1F015 Hull=0x1F016 Tiller=0x1F017 Rudder=0x1F018 Sails=0x1F019 Storage=0x1F01A Weaponslot=0x1F01B Wrestling=0x1F020 Mount=0x1F021 Secure_Trade_Container=0x1FF01 Wornitems_Container=0x1FF02
Note	extobj entries just let you define the objtypes, all of these still have to be defined in itemdescs for boats to work correctly.

12-05-2011	Tomi
Fixed	Door methods .open() and .close() were working opposite what they should.

12-04-2011	Tomi
Fixed	EA broke the prof.txt with the latest clients adding "Evaluating Intelligence" and "Spirit Speak" with spaces that resulted into skillnumber 0xFF and skillvalue 0
Added	UO::UpdateItem( item ); updates the item to every client in range, good to use for example after returning 1 in some packethook and the item get invisible.

12-03-2011	Tomi
Changed	startlocs.cfg readded default values for MapID ( 0 ) and Cliloc ( 1075072 which is the Yew town information ) Pol doesnt anymore throw an error if these values are missing.

12-01-2011	Nando
Fixed	Client hanging after having his connection refused on login. I recommend testing different ways of having a client disconnected, like acct.disable(), .ban() and others.

12-01-2011	Tomi
Changed	Polcfg setting MaxObjtype now limited to max 0xFFFFFF (16777215)
Note	Try to keep it as low as possible

12-01-2011	MuadDib

Added	Added SQL entries to the Basic.EM since were missing.

11-29-2011	Tomi
Added	Opengraphic itemdesc entry for Doors ( optional parameter, no need to define if you dont want to use the built in methods )
Changed	how built in .open() .close() and .toggle() methods works. The now read the graphic what to open to from itemdesc instead of just checking with & 0x1. this makes those methods works for new doors too and not only T2A era doors.
Changed	basic::CChrz( intarray ) to basic::CChrz( intarray, break_at_first_null := 0 ); if the break_at_first_null parameter is 0 it uses the old behaviour to just skip the nulls and still convert everything if the break_at_first_null parameter is set to 1 it stops the conversion to string at the first null it finds.
Changed	All Write(ctBeu16( calls for graphics and colors to use WriteFlipped, this seems to have fixed the assertion errors that occured with removal of the color_ext and graphic_ext
Changed	Pol throws now an error if some location is missing the MapID or Cliloc Definition in startloc.cfg ( New clients crashed when some were missing ) Removed the defualt values 0 for MapID and Cliloc ( for older clients it doesnt matter what the values are but clients >= 7.0.13.0 needs them )

11-28-2011	MuadDib
Removed	UObject->Color_Ext : Removed, and when used is replaced with ctBEu16() calls. This includes read/write of /data files.
Removed	Last of any UOX references for imports. Most was all commented, a few empty refences was also left. All now removed completely.

11-27-2011	MuadDib
Removed	UObject->Graphic_Ext : Removed, and when used is replaced with ctBEu16() calls. This includes read/write of /data files.
Note	UObject->Serial_Ext will not be removed as previously considered, due to the orphan system making primary use of this.

11-27-2011	Nando
Fixed	corrected memory leak in cfgfile::GetConfigStringDictionary(...)

11-26-2011	Tomi
Changed	CascZ( str ) to CascZ( str, nullterm := 0 ) if nullterm 1 it adds the terminating 0 in the end of array.
Note	Recompile of scripts needed.

You must have the MySQL headers and libraries installed. Only really tested with dynamically linking mysql libraries on Linux.
Added	pol/network/auxclient.h
Changed	pol/network/auxclient.cpp pol/module/osmod.cpp pol/module/osmod.h clib/socketsvc.cpp clib/socketsvc.h Moved AuxClient-related classes to its own header file (shared between auxclient.cpp and osmod.cpp) Implemented os::OpenConnection() to create outgoing TCP/IP connections.

Added	Pol/config/extobj.cfg Values it accept now and default values are Tillerman=0xF010 Port_Plank=0xF011 Starboard_Plank=0xF012 Hold=0xF013 Wrestling=0xF020 Mount=0xF021 Secure_Trade_Container=0xFF01 Wornitems_Container=0xFF02
Note	These values HAVE TO BE > pol.cfg max_tile_id and the same as objtype for them in itemdescs
Changed	uoconvert now adds to multis 0x1000 to the ID
Note	boats.cfg uses the same value as multis.cfg and itemdesc graphic entry for multis have to be the same. itemdesc entries for multis need to have the entry MultiID for updating multis ( you can find values using UOFiddler )
Added	UOExpansion HSA server sends now 0x387DF

11-11-2011	Tomi
Changed	Objtypes are now from 2 up to max_objtype from pol.cfg
Note	if objtypes <= pol.cfg max_tile_id and no graphic defined in itemdesc Pol uses objtype as graphic. Multis and custom items should all be moved to > pol.cfg max_tile_id
Added	support for new 0xA9 packet for clients >= 7.0.13.0
Changed	startloc.cfg now have Cliloc and MapID entry for every startlocation ( default values 0 ) Example: StartingLocation Yew { City Yew Description Town Center Coordinate 535,992,0 MapID 0 Cliloc 1075072 }
Note	MapID is the same number as in mapX.mul files Cliloc values are the description of the start locations Newest clients has max stats during char creation 90

11-06-2011	Tomi
Added	pol.cfg setting MaxObjtype <default 0x20000>
Note	the value can only be any value between 0x20000 and 0xFFFFFFFF

10-26-2011	Tomi
Added	support for clients >= 7.0.16.0 ( 2D ) char create packet 0xF8 Enchanced clients still use packet 0x8D

08-08-2011	Austin
Added	servspecopt.cfg flag "ScriptedMerchantHandlers" default is 0 which results in no change in behavior. If enabled, the below change will come into effect:
Changed	When a player buys something from a merchant the core will not longer handle taking gold from the player, and moving items to the players pack. When the event for EVID_MERCHANT_SOLD and EVID_MERCHANT_BOUGHT is sent it will be a struct containing the following struct: struct.type = EVID_MERCHANT_SOLD or EVID_MERCHANT_BOUGHT struct.source = player buying struct.shoppinglist = array( struct.item, struct.amount ) The shopping list items will still be items in the merchant's container. It is up to the script to split the items from the stacks there and move them to the player's pack. It is also up to the script to handle gold checks and consumption.
Added	item.SplitStackInto(container, amount) Will split the item into 2 stacks. Returns a reference to the new stack made from item. Places new stack into the container.
Added	item.SplitStackAt(x, y, z, realm, amount) Will split the item into 2 stacks. Returns a reference to the new stack made from item. Places new stack at the coordinates.

05-19-2011	Turley
Added	CustomHousing Support (beta) officially added uo::SendHousingTool( who, house );
Added	script call of "scripts/misc/customhousecommit.ecl" on commit (noncritical) params: ( who, house, houseelemarray ) houseelem = struct{graphic,xoffset,yoffset,z} to get the real coords from an elem add house.x/y called after client presses the commit button to accept the changes call new method house.acceptcommit(chr,1) or house.acceptcommit(chr,0) to drop the commit main purpose should be calculation of cost (with delta support for later changes), link establishing of houseteleporters (0x181D - 0x1828) and adding a signhanger/sign if you didnt added it during multifoundation buildup Doors and Teleporters are added to house components as normal items without any special treatment so dont forget to add scripts/itemdesc entries
Added	member multi.house_parts returns array of structs{graphic,xoffset,yoffset,z} or error if not a custom house, or currently been edited to get the real coords from an elem add house.x/y
Added	method multi.addhousepart(graphic,xoffset,yoffset,z) returns true or error
Added	method multi.erasehousepart(graphic,xoffset,yoffset,z) returns true or error
Added	members multi.house_editing / who.house_editing returns true if house is currently been edited / who is currently editing
Note	house.setcustom(1) is needed before SendHousingTool() works
Note	during editing chr is only allowed to walk inside the house all components which are not invisible get removed from component list during edit and added to design (not invisible to give the chance to eg protect a house sign from been removed from the editing char) any item inside the house will be invisible for the chr any other mobiles get moved outside the house
Note	param houseelemarray in script call is the current list of houseparts, multi.house_parts gives you the last stored list
Note	until no house.acceptcommit() is called and start of commitscript no new SendHousingTool() for this house is allowed

Fixed	npc:SayUC() sends SpeechEvent for do_event==SAY_DOEVENT_ENABLE
Changed	removed warning "No handler for skill.." and changed sysmsg to "That skill cannot be used directly." since most of the time the behaviour is wanted
Added	basic::TypeOfInt( expr ) + basic.em constants returns like TypeOf() the type of given parameter, but returns instead of a string an integer (see basic.em constants) since integer comparison are way faster then string comparison this function should always be used for comparisons

03-10-2011	Turley
Added	pol.cfg AccountDataSave (default -1) Values: -1 : old behaviour, saves accounts.txt immediately after an account change 0 : saves only during worldsave (if needed) >0 : saves every X seconds and during worldsave (if needed)

Added	character.client returns ClientRef object or error
Note	This or next release duplicate members/methods get deleted from chr (except acctname)

03-17-2010	Turley
Fixed	Trim: left&right doesnt return empty string if complete string has to be trimmed

Added	uo::SendCharProfile( character, of_who, title, uneditable_text := CHARPROFILE_NO_UNEDITABLE_TEXT, editable_text := CHARPROFILE_NO_EDITABLE_TEXT ) will send the serverside charprofile packet back to client and display it for the player. uneditable_text & editable_text are unicode arrays constants are: const CHARPROFILE_NO_UNEDITABLE_TEXT := array; const CHARPROFILE_NO_EDITABLE_TEXT := array; - Tomi
Note	Only a script interface for making a fully working CharProfile without packethooks. Not a fully working charprofile system controlled by the core, ALL text strings still have to be stored somewhere by scripts.

Note	This is in early stages. While it is working, not all cases may register and deregister where a mob gets put onto or removed from a house. If you find cases that do, report to bugtracker.
Removed	Storing scrolls inside spellbooks. Destroyed after insert is complete.
Changed	Pre-AOS Clients still get the same packet they always did when opening a spellbook, built entirely off the bitflag system for newer spellbooks. So no more keeping scrolls inside of books. :D
Note	As spellbooks are loaded for the first time with newer cores and as added to books, scrolls are marked SaveOnExit 0. Newly inserted scrolls from then on, are destroyed during insertion after spell contents are updated on the book.

09-16-2009	Turley
Removed	char.isUOKR
Added	char.ClientType r/o bitfield
Note	current Flags are: CLIENTTYPE_4000 = 0x1, // 4.0.0a (new spellbookcontent packet 0xbf:0x1b) CLIENTTYPE_4070 = 0x2, // 4.0.7a (new damage packet 0x0b instead of 0xbf:0x22) CLIENTTYPE_5000 = 0x4, // 5.0.0a (compressed gumps) CLIENTTYPE_5020 = 0x8, // 5.0.2a (Buff/Debuff 0xdf) CLIENTTYPE_6017 = 0x10, // 6.0.1.7 (Grid locs) CLIENTTYPE_60142 = 0x20, // 6.0.14.2 (feature enable 0xb9 size change) CLIENTTYPE_UOKR = 0x40, CLIENTTYPE_7000 = 0x80, // 7.0.0.0 (Gargoyle race) CLIENTTYPE_UOSA = 0x100

MuadDib

Removed

All import abilities built in to core for UOX data files. O_O

Note

The file "import.txt" will be loaded each time POL loads, when found in the world data directory. This file's format is the same as, for example, the ITEMS.TXT file POL saves. You can use this for example, to store all your doors, decorations, etc, to ensure they are reloaded after a wipe, or loaded every time POL starts. These items are added to the real world, and saved to items.txt. However, if on load the same objtype is found at the same x y z as the item in IMPORT.TXT, it destroys that item, and loads the import one.

09-10-2009	Turley
Added	CompressedGump support packet 0xdd
Added	flag param to SendDialogGump() SENDDIALOGMENU_FORCE_OLD/0 default 0
Note	SendDialogGump sends compressed gump if (client.isUOKR \|\| (!SENDDIALOGMENU_FORCE_OLD && clientversion >=5.0.0a)) else old uncompressed
Note	Patch submitted by Grin

08-09-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Better handling of sending poison updated to UO:KR Clients.
Changed	UpdateCharacterWeight() now sends correct packets instead of calling on RefreshAR() to notify client of new weight. Reduces overhead.

08-07-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	New system in core for handling layers on items and corpses. On mobile death, only items equipped will be given the Layer prop in the corpse.
Changed	New system for corpses also is affected by insert/remove of items to the corpse by script and drop into by player. Dropping new items into a corpse will cause it to set the layer accordingly long as nothing else is already using that layer on the corpse.
Changed	Very small optimization to equip item code for handling the setting of layer.

08-06-2009	MuadDib
Changed	PasswordOnlyHash removed from core. Now only ClearText and Hashed Passwords will be used. Default is now PasswordHash instead of ClearText.
Note	Using ClearText is not recommended as it leaves all your account's passwords wide open if the accounts.txt file is comprimised. You have been warned.
Removed	Account.PasswordHash - This was for the PasswordOnlyHash.
Added	Item.getgottenby Member. Returns CharRef of Player holding item, Error if not being held.

08-06-2009	Turley
Added	new Methods Character.setAggressorTo(chr) Character.setLawfullydamagedTo(chr) sets aggressor/lawfullydamaged for repsys.cfg:AggressorFlagTimeout seconds for given chr Character.clearAggressorTo(chr) Character.clearLawfullydamagedTo(chr) clears aggressor/lawfullydamaged entry for given chr

08-04-2009	MuadDib
Changed	RecalcVitals() and other internal parts of core that share recalc_vital_stuff() will now check to see if each vital has changed, before resending it to client. Reduces overhead.

08-03-2009	MuadDib

Added	uopacket.cfg::Version (1 or 2) Default 1 uopacket.cfg::Client (client version string) Default 1.25.25.0 Read packethooks.txt for details.

07-31-2009	Turley
Added	ServSpecOpts::ResetSwingOnTurn=true/false default false Should SwingTimer be reset with projectile weapon on facing change
Added	ServSpecOpts::SendSwingPacket=true/false default true Should packet 0x2F be send on swing. Client sends automatically move packet to face the opponent

07-25-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Bug blocking equipping when intrinsic weapon was marked as two handed.

07-17-2009	Turley
Added	"ShadowRealms" polsys::AddRealm(realm_name,base_realm); returns 1 or error ("BaseRealm not found.","BaseRealm is a ShadowRealm.","Realmname already defined.") Creates a new Realm based on an other realm, uses same map and regions polsys::DeleteRealm(realm); returns 1 or error ("Realm not found.","Realm is not a ShadowRealm.","Mobiles in Realm.","Items in Realm.") Deletes a ShadowRealm, only if the realm is "clean"
Note	ShadowRealms get saved/loaded in pol.txt
Note	if ServerSpecOpt is set AddRealm/startup creates a Decaythread
Changed	On realm change client gets RemovePacket for all objects inrange

07-16-2009	MuadDib
Added	Removal of Grid Index to items when Container::remove is called within the core.
Added	ItemDesc::Container::MaxSlots = 1-255, default ServSpecOpts::MaxSlots
Added	ServSpecOpts::UseContainerSlots=true/false, default false.
Added	UseContainerSlots check to can add bulk code to ensure not going over max slot capacity of 255 and a container's max slot capacity.
Changed	DropItem packets now redone for Slot support. Better handling internally, and core will move an item to next available slot if one sent is not available. Before code is used, it checks if UseContainerSlots is true.
Note	UseContainerSlots is not yet fully implemented. Will cause core to ignore all grid setting for core moved items. The purpose of this, is since Legacy 2D clients ignore this setting anyway, you can use this to ignore Max Slots and allow core to move items into a container regardless of MaxSlots settings (which is kinda like a secondary Max Items). With this enabled, it will enfore MaxSlots when core and player moves items to containers. If Max Items is not reached, it will check MaxSlots. If MaxSlots is not reached, allows moving the item into container. This is being added to allow to turn grid support on and off based on the client versions (and types) that you will be supporting on your shard.

07-04-2009	Turley
Added	new Object Class BinaryFile File::OpenBinaryFile( filename, mode := OPENMODE_IN, endian := LITTLE_ENDIAN ); like the other file functions it checks file access rights (fileaccess.cfg) (Read and/or Write) mode constants: const OPENMODE_IN := 0x01; // (input) Allow input operations on the stream const OPENMODE_OUT := 0x02; // (output) Allow output operations on the stream const OPENMODE_ATE := 0x04; // (at end) Set the stream's position indicator to the end of the stream on opening const OPENMODE_APP := 0x08; // (append) Set the stream's position indicator to the end of the stream before each output operation const OPENMODE_TRUNC := 0x10; // (truncate) Any current content is discarded, assuming a length of zero on opening endian constants: const LITTLE_ENDIAN := 0x00; const BIG_ENDIAN := 0x01; returns BinaryFile Object or error
Note	implemented BinaryFile comparisons are true/false (!) checks if filestream is open == checks if filename is the same
Added	BinaryFile methods: .close() closes the underlying stream returns 1 .size() returns the filesize or error .seek(int offset, int seekdir) sets position returns 1/0 or error seekdir constants: const SEEKDIR_BEG := 0x00; // beginning of sequence const SEEKDIR_CUR := 0x01; // current position within sequence const SEEKDIR_END := 0x02; // end of sequence .tell() gets current position returns int .peek() Reads and returns the next byte without extracting it (-1 if eof is reached) .flush() writes all unwritten chars from buffer to file .getInt32() gets unsigned 32-bit (4 byte) 1 or error .getInt16() gets unsigned 16-bit (2 byte) 1 or error .getInt8() gets unsigned 8-bit (1 byte) 1 or error .getSInt32() gets signed 32-bit (4 byte) 1 or error .getSInt16() gets signed 16-bit (2 byte) 1 or error .getSInt8() gets signed 8-bit (1 byte) 1 or error .getString(length) gets a string (1-byte characters) string or error .setInt32() sets unsigned 32-bit (4 byte) 1 or error .setInt16() sets unsigned 16-bit (2 byte) 1 or error .setInt8() sets unsigned 8-bit (1 byte) 1 or error .setSInt32() sets signed 32-bit (4 byte) 1 or error .setSInt16() sets signed 16-bit (2 byte) 1 or error .setSInt8() sets signed 8-bit (1 byte) 1 or error .setString(string string, int nullterminate) sets a string set nullterminate to 1 to append a 0 terminator 1 or error

07-01-2009	Turley
Changed	UoConvert now also saves the color of static tiles
Added	ListStatics* return struct member "hue"
Note	Rebuild of all realms is required

06-29-2009	MuadDib
Added	Additional check in internal grid checks on containers, to speed up handling for full containers.
Added	ServSpecOpt.cfg::MaxContainerSlots=unsigned integer. This will allow setting the internal overall allowed item count for containers. This is introduced for future KR support. KR client is only 125, but we are making this here so custom clients later can support more slots. If you have containers with max item count over 125 and use ONLY 2D, and not KR, set this to your highest amount used!

06-27-2009	Turley
Fixed	Item creation with ItemDescriptor can now override .Desc

Added	party hooks: OnLeaveParty(who,fromwho) OnAddToParty(who) OnPartyCreate(party) OnDecline(who) OnLootPermChange(who)
Note	OnLeaveParty fromwho==who if who removes himself
Added	party General options: RemoveMemberOnLogoff 1/0 (default 0) RejoinPartyOnLogon 1/0 (default 0)
Note	RejoinPartyOnLogon is only used if RemoveMemberOnLogoff is true, if partyleader logoffs the next member becomes the leader

Fixed	Item::Facing updates were no longer updating surrounding clients.
Fixed	Bug with stackables where graphic and crops may be different, still allowing to combine stack (of same objtype)

07-15-2009	Turley

06-28-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Graphic/Layer bug when changing graphic and item is equipped. Now core will block this, returning a Error Struct to the script when attempting to change the graphic of an item with layer set.

06-27-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Layer bug with updating/sending equipped items

POL098.1

06-20-2009	MuadDib

Fixed	Exception on mobile.kill() if death/chrdeath.ecl does not exist

04-28-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Removal of items from containers not sending destroy object to nearby clients when object removed. This affects containers when was owned by a character.

04-21-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Crash at shutdown during character cleanup involving players that was in combat.

04-20-2009	Turley

POL098

04-06-2009	MuadDib
Changed	When adding ally/enemy guilds, removing ally/enemy guilds, adding/removing members, core now updates online members and those around them correctly.
Added	If LogLevel in pol.cfg is higher than 1, new report added to console. If an account has AOS Expansion and uses a Spellbook, console now reports this if UOFeatureEnable does not contain 0x20 bitflag for new spellbook system in client. This is due to client issues with books using old methods when still recieving the AOS flag for an account.

04-05-2009	MuadDib
Changed	Keys/Seeds for packets 0x8C sent by LoginServer. 6.0.1.7 to 6.0.4.0, I don't recommend using at all. 0xFEFEFEFC = UOKR Client 0XFEFEFEFD = 6050+ 2D Client 0xFEFEFEFE = Normal 2D client (pre-6.0.5.0 client)
Note	Change to keys is for passing these details from Loginserver to Gameserver during loginprocess. Clients disconnect from LoginServer and Connect to Gameserver. This is the easiest method for identifying the client type connecting to your game server since versions are handled to decide this on the loginserver connection.

04-04-2009	Nando
Fixed	Removing an offline member from party was causing POL to crash.

04-04-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Issue with resistances and damages from npcdesc.cfg.
Note	NPC's eScript changing/quipping with Resistances/Damages will be rewritten in 099. We are putting this into 099 due to a Class Rewrite to NPCs that will resolve this issue and allow better expansions of the NPC class in the core.

Fixed	Crash in Basic::Trim(). Now checks explicitly for String as param 1. Errors out if not.
Fixed	Event LeftArea and EnteredArea both being able to be triggered when 1 is actually disabled.

03-25-2009	MuadDib
Changed	StrReplace() and SubStrReplace() will now accept Dict/Struct/Array/Error as param 1 and converts them to string format (like when using print() or syslog()) before comparing/converting.

03-24-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Crash with StrReplace() allowing to go past end of a string.
Changed	StrReplace() will now allow the replace_with string to be empty, to remove the to_replace param from the string completely.
Fixed	Crash in onRemove system for removing objects on npc/offline mobiles.

POL098 RC1

03-22-2009	Nando
Added	New servspectopt::SendStatLocks (default false) to send the stat locks message. Beware that this message will only be sent to clients which have major version > 3 (to avoid breaking older ones).
Changed	Canceling of trade window will no longer trigger refreshing of AR/Resistances/Damages. It will only send the status bar packet to the client for weight updates.
Changed	Updates so refreshing of AR/Resistances/Damages is not called when dropping items unless to equip them etc as should be.

03-22-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Bug with items that use the Resource entry in ItemDesc.Cfg causing crashes on shutdown.

03-20-2009	MuadDib
Added	Storage system will now ignore all root containers with SaveOnExit set to 0.

03-19-2009	Nando
Added	UO::PlayMusic( chr, music_id := 0 ), plays the music with music_id on client. You can find the music id's this uses at your UO FOLDER/Music/Digital/Config.txt

03-19-2009	Turley
Added	on Chatbutton pressing "scripts/misc/chatbutton.ecl" is called
Note	only simple implementation no Chatsystem!

Added

Basic::Compare(str1, str2, pos1_start:=0, pos1_end:=0, pos2_start:=0, pos2_end:=0);
Can be used in 3 overloaded ways. Returns 1 on compare success.
Compare(string1, string2)
Compare(string1, string2, string1_index, string1_length)
Compare(string1, string2, string1_index, string1_length, string2_index, string2_length)
Index is a starting position to begin the compare in the string, and length is the length to compare from the index. When using the 3rd method, you can compare substrings in both strings instead of just the substring of string1 to entire string2.

Fixed

Bug with Player Color and their magic underwear in the Race Changer packet handling.

03-18-2009	Nando
Added	New ssopt option: CoreSendsCaps 0/1 (default 0), makes POL send attribute cap information in the Send Skills (0x3A) packet.

03-17-2009	Nando
Added	New ssopt option: DefaultAttributeCap (default 1000), defines which value POL should use as cap for attributes.
Added	New attributes.cfg option: DefaultCap (default DefaultAttributeCap), to set the default for each attribute.
Added	GetAttributeCap(who, attr), SetAttributeCap(who, attr, capvalue) and GetAttributeDefaultCap(attr). The names should explain it all.
Note	Caps are defined in tenths (100.0 -> 1000, 55.2 -> 552), same as base values.

03-17-2009	MuadDib
Added	Concealed Updater now also run when changing command levels.
Added	Basic::Trim(string, type, set). Trims whitespaces from strings String = String to trim from. Type = TRIM_LEFT, TRIM_RIGHT, TRIM_BOTH. Directions to trim the whitespace from. Default is BOTH. Set = Character set to trim as whitespace. Default is " ".
Added	Basic::StrReplace(string, to_replace, replace_with). Replace all instances of to_replace in the string with replace_with.
Added	Basic::SubStrReplace(string, replace_with, start, length:=0). Replace portion of string using replace_with, beginning at start for length. If length passed is 0 or lower, it replaces from start to end of string. Error Returns: "Index must not be negative", "Index out of range", "Length out of range", "Length must not be negative"

03-12-2009	Turley
Added	repsys.cfg General section "PartyHelpFullCountsAsCriminal 1/0" default 0 if 0 OnHelp does not set mobile to criminal if helped char is criminal/murderer when they are in the same party

03-11-2009	Turley
Added	new systemhook script 'OnCast' function OnCast(who, spellid) is called if who casts a spell (including macros) before all checks Return: 0 if you wish POL to perform the checks and casting, 1 if you want to handle it fully scriptside
Note	The two partystatusgump buttons send spellid 11(green) and 29(red) with clientside reserved next target answer
Added	on Paperdoll Guildbutton pressing "scripts/misc/guildbutton.ecl" is called
Added	on Paperdoll Questbutton pressing "scripts/misc/questbutton.ecl" is called
Added	on Paperdoll Virtuebutton (pentagram doubleclick) pressing "scripts/misc/virtuebutton.ecl" is called
Removed	"Client tried to drop item to X,Y,Z but server is putting it at Z=" logmsg

03-09-2009	MuadDib
Changed	Console will no longer spam about invalid speech color. Instead it adjusts the color back to the default 1001 color and goes on.

03-08-2009	Turley
Added	Partysystem new savefile parties.txt new em Module party.em new cfg file config/party.cfg new Object Class Party savefile parties: saves Leader,Members and Cprops new Char members: who.party r/o returns PartyRef or Error who.candidate_of_party r/o returns PartyRef or Error who.partycanloot 1/0 r/o PartyRef members: party.members r/o returns Array of OfflineCharRefs party.candidates r/o returns Array of OfflineCharRefs party.leader r/o returns OfflineCharRef PartyRef methods: party.setleader(CharRef) sets new Leader returns 1/Error party.addmember(CharRef) adds new Member returns 1/Error party.addcandidate(CharRef) adds new Candidate returns 1/Error party.removemember(CharRef) removes Member returns 1/Error party.removecandidate(CharRef) removes Candidate returns 1/Error party.setprop/getprop/eraseprop/propnames for cprops Party.em: CreateParty( leader, firstmember ); Creates a Party returns 1 or Error DisbandParty( partyref ); Disbands a Party returns 1 or Error SendPartyMsg( party, character, uctext ); Sends PartyMsg with Sender=character returns 1/Error SendPrivatePartyMsg( party, character, tocharacter, uctext ); Sends PrivateMsg with Sender=character returns 1/Error party.cfg: General { //How many chars are allowed in a Party (normal clients only have 10 slots) [MaxPartyMembers int (default 10)] //Newer Clients (>=3.0.6e) does not automatically change "/# " //to private msg (they use "/t #") //set to true any public msg will be checked for "# " (0-9 0=slot 10) [TreatNoAsPrivate (1/0) (default 0)] //How long is an invite valid befor automatic decline //set to 0 disables the timeout [DeclineTimeout int seconds (default 10)] //Prefix for a private Msg (e.g. P:) [PrivateMsgPrefix string (default "")] } HookList { // CanAddToParty(leader,member) return check true/false // called when a leader invites someone CanAddToParty // CanRemoveMember(leader,member) return check true/false // called when leader wants to remove member CanRemoveMember // CanLeaveParty (member) return check true/false // called when member wants to leafe the party CanLeaveParty // OnPublicChat(member,uctext) return check none // called when a member sends a PartyMsg e.g. for logging OnPublicChat // OnPrivateChat(member,tomember,uctext) return check none // called when a member sends a PrivateMsg e.g. for logging OnPrivateChat // OnDisband(partyref) return check none // called when a Party is about to be disbanded OnDisband // ChangePublicChat(member,uctext) return new uctext/true/false // called when a member sends a PartyMsg return value is the new uctextarray, // or true for no change, or false to block the msg ChangePublicChat // ChangePrivateChat(member,tomember,uctext) return new uctext/true/false // called when a member sends a PrivateMsg return value is the new uctextarray, // or true for no change, or false to block the msg ChangePrivateChat }
Note	Candidates are not saved A party with (candidates+members)<=1 gets disbanded
Note	All msgs send are cliloc's used cliloc numbers are: 1005437, 1005439, 1005440, 1005441, 1005442, 1005444, 1005445, 1005446, 1005447, 1005448, 1005449, 1005450, 1005451, 1005452, 1005453, 1005455, 1008087, 1008089, 1008090, 1008091, 1008092, 1008094, 1008095, 3000211, 3000222, 3000223

03-08-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Spacing for all titles and name for mobs in Tooltips and Paperdoll. Also added the mob.title_guild in the Tooltips string for names of mobiles.

03-08-2009	Nando
Added	New privilege "moveanydist", will allow moving items regardless of distance (by now, the only limit to this priv is the client.)

03-07-2009	MuadDib
Changed	Setting of title_prefix, title_suffix, title_race, title_guild will no trigger an obj cache to be sent to tooltip enabled clients for updates of tooltips client side. This does not affect paperdolls. Paperdolls not being updated until Double Clicking again is an issue client-side.
Added	AOS Extended Statbar members such as followers, followers_max, tithing, and luck will now cuase the Update packet to be sent to AOS enabled accounts when changed.
Changed	Handling of packet 0x07 (Pick Up Item Request). On success, core now checks for if the item was equipped on yourself, and refreshes ar and sends stats. If was in a container not on your character, only refreshes stats. If item was on the ground, only stats. If on a mobile other than yourself, only stats. If item was inside your own worn items, it does nothing (since not worn, and no additional weight to send to client). The big Difference here, was client use to ALWAYS refresh the ar of character and statmsg. This will eliminate at the least, over 50 loops per pickup when it's not needed, and packets not being sent, when not needed.

03-06-2009

MuadDib

Added

Elemental Damage properties added for items and mobiles. These follow the same rules as all the AOS Resistances. Same details for itemdesc, GetItemDescriptor(), etc.
Mobile.damage_fire, damage_cold, damage_energy, damage_poison, damage_physical R/O
Mobile.damage_fire_mod, etc. R/W
Item.damage_fire, etc. R/O
Item.damage_fire_mod, etc R/W
Itemdesc.cfg: FireDamage, ColdDamage, EnergyDamage, PoisonDamage, PhysicalDamage
ItemDesc entries accept Dice Strings just like resistances.
NPCDesc.Cfg: FireDamage, etc just like ItemDesc.cfg

03-05-2009	Nando
Changed	Core will no longer spam "out-of-sequence gump command" when closing.
Changed	CloseGump(who, pid, response := 0) will now accept any object to be returned, and will send '0' as the buttonid in close gump packet.
Added	Statlock change (Extended Stats, 0xBF sub 0x1A) will be handled if CoreHandledLocks is enabled. It will now send statlock (Extended Stats, 0xBF sub 0x19) on every status update.

03-04-2009	Nando
Added	UO::CloseGump(who, pid, response := 0), closes gump by sending 0xBF's CLOSE_GUMP, and returns 'response' for the gump script. 'response' is a LONG. 'pid' is from the script that issued the SendGumpDialog() command.

03-03-2009	MuadDib
Changed	Item and Character members for AOS Resistances now report the total of resist and resist_mod.

03-02-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	eScript's Internal "move" command causing items to get misplaced in wrong realms on move failed MoveItem* Commands in eScript.

03-02-2009	Nando
Fixed	When running out of memory, the creation of new threads is not possible. Core will now check if the thread was properly created to (probably) solve the symptom of zombie threads. The problem of not having enought memory to create thread is not solved, though. There will still be logs of this error.

03-01-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Issue with Mount Objtype 0xF021 and EquipItem() ignoring setting it's Layer.
Added	Complete packethook support with Clients 6.0.1.7 and higher. This is handled via the earlier added Is6017 uopacket.cfg entry. This will allow you to specify a packethook to be triggered ONLY if the client involved is 6.0.1.7 and higher. It does not have to be a different packet size for this to work, only the client.
Added	"KR" for expansion type. This includes sending the 0x86DB with packet 0xB9.

02-28-2009	MuadDib
Changed	UO::DestroyItem(). Now sends a Destroy Item packet to the script controller for the item destroyed. This is in addition to sending in range of the item. Reason for this, is for Storage Containers across realms.
Added	New flag for uopacket.cfg of "Is6017 0/1". This is show the defined packet entry is explicity for a 6.0.1.7 and higher packet type. Will let you define packethooks for the same packet, that is different based on client version.
Added	Character.followers = int. This is for storage for the Followers byte in statmsg packet.
Added	ML Expansion statmsg packet support. If Expansion for account is ML or higher, and client version is 5.0 or higher (or is KR), sends ML Info Flag and data.
Added	Special Verbose messages (with POL.CFG::Verbose=1) for 6.0.5.0+ crypt seed packets and the UOKR 0xFF Seed Packet.

02-27-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Clothing on corpses. COMPLETELY! This age old bug is now 100% fixed. If it was equipped at time of death, it will be on the corpse until the on remove script check for the corpse is triggered for taking the item out (on remove, not can)
Added	Base 6.0.1.7 and up Incoming Packet Handling ability to core.
Changed	Packets 0x3C updated for supporting clients 6.0.1.7. and newer.
Changed	Grid index support (KR and 6.0.1.7) for Drop item Packet and sending. Grid Index is still not set on Container Add by scripts and core yet (since this is only truly needed for KR support for slotted bags).
Changed	Updated Secure Trade Drop Item packet to support 6.0.1.7 and newer clients.
Changed	Updated sending of packet 0x25 to support 6.0.1.7 and newer clients.

02-26-2009	Nando
Fixed	Bug where a player / npc moving in a diagonal direction 'd' wasn't blocked by items on direction 'd+1' and 'd-1'. (For example, moving in direction NE while having items blocking on N and E was allowed by core, while disallowed by client)

02-26-2009	Turley
Added	uo::CheckLosBetween( x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, realm := _DEFAULT_REALM ) Same like uo::CheckLosAt and uo::CheckLineOfSight

02-25-2009	Nando
Added	New attributes.em functions: SetAttributeLock(who, attrname, lockstate) and GetAttributeLock(who, attrname). With new constants: ATTRIBUTE_LOCK_UP, ATTRIBUTE_LOCK_DOWN, ATTRIBUTE_LOCK_LOCKED. This works for any attribute.

02-25-2009	MuadDib
Added	Support for UOKR Poisoned Status bar updates. Core will now update UOKR clients correctly when poisoned set to true or false for a character.
Changed	Packets 0x3C updated for sending UOKR Grid Index.
Added	Base UOKR Incoming Packet Handling ability to core. Will Begin adding UOKR specific packets such as Drop Item and so on, very soon.

02-24-2009	MuadDib
Changed	SendPacket() now returns an error if packet string passed is not valid size (Divisible by 2).
Added	SendPacket() buffer size now allows max packet size. No more need to worry bout length.
Fixed	Issue where equipped spellbooks would not open to the correct bookmarked page when opened.
Added	Support of 0x25 Packet (Send item in container) with Client version >= 6.0.1.7.
Added	Support for Grid Index with Trade Container Packet sending.

02-22-2009	MuadDib
Changed	Updating of worn items will be handled by sending Delete Item packet to those in range, then sending the worn item packets. This is to address an issue with client not updating worn items on other players when graphics.color.etc are changed.
Removed	Saving of base AOS Resistances to pcs.txt. This is not truly needed, as core will handle updating these live based on the armor etc. resist mods only thing needing saved now at this point. Just like AR. Same with Items.

02-22-2009	Nando
Added	New servspecopt.cfg option: CoreHandledLocks, default to false. If enabled, core will handle the change of skill locks and stat locks from the client (setting the attribute locks).
Added	Every Attribute now have a lock state. Later, this lock state will be read/changed via eScripts methods.

02-21-2009	MuadDib
Added	Ability to use Dice strings for AOS Resistances in itemdesc.cfg entries.
Fixed	Bug allowing two players to open trade window, walk away, and continue trading. If players get more than 4 tiles away, it will now cancel the trade upon walking to 5th tile away.
Added	ServSpecOpt::AllowMovingTrade=0/1(default 0). 0 = Disable moving more than 4 tiles with an open trade window. If you move more than 4 tiles from who trading with, cancels trade.
Removed	UOClient::Listener::Statcap
Added	Character.statcap = Replaces the Listener::Statcap. Default 225 r/w Character.skillcap = This is for storage, of overall skillcap. Default 700 r/w Character.followers_max = Max followers for statmsg packet. Default 0 r/w Character.luck = Luck for statmsg packet. Default 0 r/w Character.tithing = Tithing for statmsg packet. Default 0 r/w
Added	Min/Max Damage added as per OSI Standards to Statmsg packet. This is done by the min and max of the dice roll for a weapon before any mods etc.
Fixed	Now cannot request stats for chars not visible to you, concealed from you, and over 20 tiles away.

02-20-2009	MuadDib
Added	Priv "plogany". Used with new startlog and stoplog commands to activate target cursor.
Changed	Built-in textcommand .startlog and .stoplog for packet logging. If character has the plogany priv they get a target cursor to select who to set packet logging for.

02-18-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Fixed Physical Resist not showing correctly with AOS Resistances in Statbar in place of AR.

POL098 Beta #4

02-18-2009	Turley
Fixed	..Boat Fix Drunken Coder syndrome?

02-17-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Instances where core uses UO::ClearGottenItem() type code caused ghosted item on client cursor. Will require more feedback from users after publish for remaining instances where this still occurs (outside of ClearGottenItem()).

[^]

POL098 Beta #3

02-16-2009	Turley
Fixed	Hold again part of boat multi

02-07-2009	Turley
Removed	SystemFindObjectBySerial() flag SYSFIND_SEARCH_STORAGE_AREAS (was obsolete since years)

02-05-2009	MuadDib
Added	UOClient::Listener::AOSResistances 0/1. This flag aids in deciding which version of Armor to send in the StatMsg packets. With this enabled, a client who uses an account with AOS Expansion enabled will see their Physical Resist instead of AR member.

02-03-2009	MuadDib
Added	Character.resist_fire_mod/resist_cold_mod/resist_energy_mod/resist_poison_mod/resist_physical_mod as R/W.
Added	Item.resist_fire_mod/resist_cold_mod/resist_energy_mod/resist_poison_mod/resist_physical_mod as R/W.
Changed	GetItemDescriptor() Handles new AOS Resistance Entries.
Added	POL Debug Port has access to Mobile/Item resist members.

02-02-2009	MuadDib
Added	Anytime AR will get refreshed (armor damaged, equip/unequip, etc), Resistances for Character will also get updated based on the items worn.
Noted	UO::EquipItem() and UO::EquipItemFromTemplate() trigger the same Equip Code in core as dropping it on your paperdoll. So should be up to date with new resistance code in equipping also.
Noted	AOS Physical Resist is NOT the same as AR. Keep that in mind, when writing syshooks for combat, equip scripts, spells, etc. Eventually Core Combat will differentiate between these based on Expansion (on which to use for a client or npc). But as of right now, they will always use AR for combat, etc.

02-01-2009	MuadDib
Added	Character.resist_fire/resist_cold/resist_energy/resist_poison/resist_physical members as R/O. All these are for is storage. No core implementation for resists is present. These ARE sent with the Full Stat Msg packet also, based on Expansion. These are also stored to pcs.txt.
Added	Item.resist_fire/resist_cold/resist_energy/resist_poison/resist_physical members as R/O. This was added at item level, to cover armor, weapons, clothing, containers, etc for broad spectrum use on any item class that could be equipped. Such as Quivers and Totems in AOS.
Added	NPC.resist_fire/resist_cold/resist_energy/resist_poison/resist_physical members as R/O.
Added	NPCTemplate::FireResist/ColdResist/EnergyResist/PoisonResist/PhysicalResist. These work just like NPCTemplate::AR. You CAN use diceroll strings for these just like AR, or a set number for it's amount.
Noted	These are only written to file if the amount is != 0.
Added	Itemdesc FireResist/ColdResist/EnergyResist/PoisonResist/PhysicalResist.

01-29-2009	MuadDib
Added	NPC.saveonexit 0/1. Same as for Items. When set to 0 (1 default), the NPC and all items contained within it's wornitems container are IGNORED during save.
Fixed	Parry will now only refresh the AR if a shield is equipped, as was intended.
Removed	Some ... Drunken Coder syndromes. :)

01-28-2009	MuadDib
Changed	Rewrote ObjCache Building. Now constructs the packet for uokr/aos once when sending to a group (send to in range). Previous method built this packet per client requiring it. Should improve handling in populated areas.
Fixed	Client bug where AOS Expansion accounts could not see normal magery books without UOFeatureEnable 0x20 bit set. Although this IS a client bug, found a way to fix this VERY common bug server-side. As a feature of this fix, you can now have the AOS features that do NOT require 0x20 (tooltips etc), AND the magery books work without packet hooks.

01-28-2009	Turley
Changed	Optional parameter flags:=FACE_NORMAL/FACE_FORCE added to TurnToward(), TurnAwayFrom(), TurnTowardLocation(), TurnAwayFromLocation()
Fixed	servspecopt option HiddenTurnsCount check readded in facing change
Fixed	Privilege "freemove" can now also be used for NPCs

01-27-2009

MuadDib

Changed

uoclient.cfg::General::Statcap is deprecated now. Please change to now use uoclient.cfg::Listener::Statcap. This is for the new upcoming Listener Seperate settings. This new step in POL will allow custom settings for clients based on the Listener (uoclient.cfg) they are connecting through. Upcoming changes (but not yet done) will include such things as UOFeatureEnable, TotalStatsAtCreation, ItemColorMask, and so on. This is to make it so you can configure different ports for different client configurations and expansions. One use of this, is to allow both 2.0.0 clients on your shard, AOS Clients with Tooltips, ML Clients without tooltips, and so on. The possibilities will be good, and really expand the support you can give with your scripts.

Fixed

Magery Books will now be viewable for AOS enabled accounts on servers that do NOT have the UOFeatureEnable 0x20 bitflag to enable AOS style books. This was implemented to fix a CLIENT BUG. But, since so many people do not seem to realize you MUST have 0x20 on for AOS style book handling on AOS activated accounts, we must do this. Boo to you :(

01-27-2009	Turley
Changed	math::Min/Max now accepts Array as first parameter, if given returns the biggest/lowest Integer/Double entry (second parameter is ignored). Errors: "Array empty"&"No Integer/Double elements" Second parameter has now default value of 0

01-25-2009	MuadDib
Changed	Rewrote entire core handling of config/bannedips.cfg This should address a small memory leak caused by the cfg system (leak still exists I just changed how it is done with this file). It also will increase POL speed for login/account verification. Remember, the larger your bannedips.cfg, the longer it takes for the loginserver to verify the client IP is not banned.
Added	ReloadConfiguration() will cause the bannedips.cfg to get reloaded. YAY.
Added	Item.saveonexit member. Does what it says. All items default to 1. If you set this to 0 the item and (if container, it's contents) will NOT be saved to datafile.

01-23	Nando
Changed	polcore().bytes_sent and polcore().bytes_received are now Doubles. This will fix some problems with negative values after some time... (internally they are now 64 bit integers).
Note	Lots of small leaks fixed, and more to come. Too much to list here, but you will feel the difference.

01-16	Turley
Fixed	Filled PolCore().iostats.received with sense

01-16	Nando
Fixed	UOConvert was always reading map0.mul when uomapid is 1. It will now try to read map1.mul, and if not found read map0.mul. (The same for staidx1 and statics1)

[^]

POL098 Beta #2

01-07	MuadDib
Added	Due to Ecompile always breaking for single file and right click compile useage when no absolute path is given in the ecompile.cfg, added redundant code to verify drive letter path in Windows environments. (aka, if you use "scripts" for include directory instead of "c:\pol\scripts"). This should help in most cases. (Win32 Cores only right now)
Noted	This works by checking if the core simply looked for "ecompile.cfg" or if it used the -C <path to config> and handled accordingly. If you pass -C <path> it uses that to append to the beginning of the dir structure in the config. Otherwise it appens the structure based on the location of ecompile.exe being executed (since it's looking there for the cfg).
Noted	In case people never realized. If you set the Evironment Variable called ECOMPILE_CFG_PATH to point directly to the path where ecompile.cfg is kept, Ecompile.exe will use this to locate your config file (Read core-changes people :D )
Added	ECompile.exe Flag "-E<path to ecompile cfg>". Correct, no space between them just like the -Ppath Option. This is for Windows machines. It sets/changes the ECOMPILE_CFG_PATH Environment Variable via the commandline so no need to add/edit it via the System Properties of the machine. Remember, you must be logged in with Admin rights to change Environment Variables and this won't show in the System Properties until Reboot. But it IS accessible WITHOUT rebooting.

01-03	MuadDib
Added	Ability to send two commands to the POL Service via SCM (Service Control Manager). Command 1200 is a Beep (just for Nando), and 1201 will initial POL Shutdown just like via Script or clicking on Stop on the POL System Tray Icon. More to come later.
Fixed	Drunken coder syndrome in the AOS Tooltip handling and oldschool Tooltip code too.
Removed	Logging/Reporting of empty Attack Request Packets. Useless information that is unreliable.
Removed	References to unused portions of POL.cfg (things no longer supported that was still being checked for).

01-02	Turley
Changed	Scriptname & PC info in .setprop log entry "wtf, setprop w/ an error"

12-26	MuadDib
Added	Ecompile.exe flag -xt defined in /? output.
Added	Ecompile.exe flag -Au added. This is same as -A but to only compile Updated Src.
Added	Ecompile.exe flag -s to Display Summary if -q is not set.
Added	Ecompile.exe flag -D to create .dep files (Dependency information).

12-20	Turley
Added	new char member .clientver_detail returns struct of ints {major;minor;rev;patch} new char method .compareversion(string) returns 1 if clientversion is >= then given version string else 0 or error "Not enough parameters"/"Invalid parameter type"/"No client attached"
Added	new ssopt "ForceNewObjCachePackets" default false
Added	support for new ObjectCacheInfos introduced in 5.0.0 old behavior: Server sends 0xBF Sub 0x10 per object ->Client response also with 0xBF Sub 0x10 per item new behavior: Server sends 0xDC per object -> Client response with 0xD6 (there can be more then one serial up to ~16) intern check is if ((ssopt.ForceNewObjCachePackets) \|\| (isUOKR) \|\| (clientversion.major>=5)) since the client sends his clientversion not instantly the first few ObjCacheInfos are sent the old way (thats why the new ssopt is added)
Noted	since client 6.0.5.0 the clientversion is instantly known (new seed packet)
Added	support of new seed packet (>=6.0.5.0)
Noted	right now no new packet is implementend (some packetsizes have changed)

12-19	Turley
Changed	Extended PerformAction() it is now: PerformAction(character,action,framecount:=5,repeatcount:=1, backward:=ACTION_DIR_FORWARD, repeatflag:=ACTION_NOREPEAT, delay:=1);

Changed	Aux Client now sends "Connection closed" to a client that attempts to connect from an invalid IP according to IPMATCH settings before closing the socket.

12-18	Turley
Added	Setting for servspecopt.cfg 'PrivacyPaperdoll' Default is disabled. if enabled, Paperdoll gives only char name for others (See Luth 09-28)

Fixed	Item.layer gets reset to 0 when unequipped.
Fixed	When loading Realms, POL will shutdown if it cannot find any realms and say so.
Added	Item.tile_layer returns the Layer setting in the Tiles.cfg/Tiledata. This was added to always give the layer it uses, while leaving the internal handling both of Core and Scripts that utilize the fact of "if layer is set, it's equipped". This is ALWAYS set from the tile info at server load. So changing your tiledata, re-creating tiles.cfg will auto update your items.
Note	Item.layer gets internally reset on server load if it is equipped, via tiles.cfg entry as well.

12-16	MuadDib
Added	AuxSvc Configs now accept an IPMATCH entry identical to /config/servers.cfg. This is only an additional security feature, and not required to be in the .CFG :) The illegal ip will be treated by immediately closing the connection.

12-14	Nando
Fixed	Characters/Starting Location packet wasn't sending the correct characters number. This was causing problems when enabling the 6th & 7th slot (or limiting to 1 slot). Characters number will now be set to Max(CharacterSlot, 5). The number of CharacterSlots shown will depend on the acct expansion. (If it's more than AOS, it'll send > 6, else 5).
Added	Flags in the Characters/Starting Location packet and the Enable Features (0xB9) are now being set according to the CharacterSlots option in pol.cfg. It only works now with 1, 5, 6 and 7 slots, as this is a client limitation. You can hook the 0xB9 packet to change this in the future.

12-10	Nando
Removed	POL's Windows-systray-icon beep when right-clicking is now gone.
Changed	Region's internal tile zone is now 4x4 (was 32x32).

12-05	Luth
Fixed	A bug in Run_Script caused when a Parent script ended before the child script.

Changed

PrintTextAbove*() now takes one more optional parameter, journal_print, with acceptible values:
JOURNAL_[UC_]PRINT_NAME: In the journal, it prints the item's description / npc's name, colon, the message (POL standard)
JOURNAL_[UC_]PRINT_YOU_SEE: In the journal, it prints "You see: " followed by the message (UO standard) This does not affect the text that is printed above the item, ONLY what is shown in the Journal.

Fixed

OnRemoveScript and OnInsertScript now called with all appropriate parameters
program onremovescript(character, container, item, item_amount, movetype)
program oninsertscript(character, container, movetype, inserttype, adding_item, existing_stack, amount_to_add)

10-28	Luth
Changed	Set_Script_Option() now returns the previous value that was set for that option

09-28	Luth
Added	npc::Face( direction );
Added	mobile.SetFacing( direction, flags := FACE_NORMAL );
Noted	mobile.facing := [0-7]; is the same as calling: mobile.SetFacing( [0-7], FACE_NORMAL );
Added	MOVEOBJECT_IGNOREMOVALBE flag to move an object regardless of its .movable property
Fixed	Paperdolls now give all information for self, and less information for others

Added	uo::UpdateMobile(mob) Sends to mobiles in visual range UpdatePlayer packet of mob, for example to inform of notority changes
Added	Packet 0xC Functions: uo::PlayMovingEffectEx( source, target, effect, speed, duration := 0, hue := 0, render := 0, fixeddirection := 0, explode := 0, effect3d := 0, effect3dexplode := 0, effect3dsound := 0 ); uo::PlayMovingEffectXYZEx( srcx, srcy, srcz, dstx, dsty, dstz, realm := _DEFAULT_REALM, effect, speed, duration := 0, hue := 0, render := 0, fixeddirection := 0, explode := 0, effect3d := 0, effect3dexplode := 0, effect3dsound := 0 ); uo::PlayObjectCenteredEffectEx( center, effect, speed, duration := 0, hue := 0, render := 0, layer := 0, effect3d := 0 ); uo::PlayStationaryEffectEx( x, y, z, realm := _DEFAULT_REALM, effect, speed, duration := 0, hue := 0, render := 0, layer := 0, effect3d := 0 ); layer,effect3d,effect3dexplode,effect3dsound are only interpreted by the 3D client (current known) render values are: 0 no change 1 It becomes dark 2 It becomes bright 3 Bright color is emphasized and dark color is converted transparently 4 The translucency (transparency is high) 5 The translucency (it is close to primary color) 6 Negative positive reversal 7 The background which is transparent negative positive reversal layer values are: 0 Head 1 RightHand 2 LeftHand 3 Waist 4 LeftFoot 5 RightFoot 7 CenterFeet effect3dexplode and effect3dsound are only interpreted if explode is set effect3d and effect3dexplode values can be found in client/particles dir Examples: CastAnimation only seen by 3D clients: PlayObjectCenteredEffectEx( chr, 0, 10, 5, 0, 0, 1, 9041 ); //firesparkle on right hand PerformAction(chr,0xCB); // moves with char Fireball with explosion and sound: PlayMovingEffectEx( chr,tar,0x36d4,7,0,0,0,0,1,9502,4019,0x160);
Changed	StatRequest 0x34 checks if target is visible to char (e.g. Injection exploit)

08-29	Turley
Added	uo::GetGlobalPropertyNames()
Changed	uo::FindSubstance( container, objtype, amount, makeinuse := 0 ); to FindSubstance( container, objtype, amount, makeinuse := 0, flags := 0 ); flags are: FINDSUBSTANCE_IGNORE_LOCKED : Find matches in locked containers FINDSUBSTANCE_ROOT_ONLY : Do not find matches in sub-containers FINDSUBSTANCE_FIND_ALL : Find all matches ignoring given amount
Added	new Char methods: .attack_once([opp]) attacks once without modifing the swingtimer if no opp is given attacks current attackable opponent, else attacks given opponent (and but checks if opponent is attackable .setswingtimer(time) if opponent is set sets swingtimer to given ms time .kill([killer]) kills character ignoring invul, if killer is set repsys:OnDamage is called
Added	new Char members: .hitchance_mod +-int in thousandth additive modificator of the hitchance from the attacker .evasionchance_mod +-int in thousandth subtractive modificator of the hitchance from the defender
Added	new privileges: "firewhilemoving" : swingtimer will not be reset if char is moving with projectile weapon "attackhidden" : char can attack hidden opponents "hiddenattack" : char can attack while hidden
Added	new systemhook script 'HitMiss' function HitMiss(attacker, defender) is called if hitchance check fails no overriding of corefunctions or resultcheck
