POL099.1

02-11-2018	Nando:
Added	range parameter to Accessible(chr, item, range := ACCESSIBLE_DEFAULT). Valid values: range >= 0, range == ACCESSIBLE_DEFAULT or range == ACCESSIBLE_IGNOREDISTANCE. The default range will be defined as the servspecopt entry "DefaultAccessibleRange". If that entry doesn't exist, the "DefaultDoubleclickRange" will be used instead (which defaults to 2).
Fixed	Accessible(chr, item) now checks for the distance to the item. Differently from the distance of 2 tiles the docs stated, the allowed distance before was about 18 tiles. To recover the old behavior, use ACCESSIBLE_IGNOREDISTANCE as range.

POL099

02-06-2018	Turley:
Fixed	fileaccess.cfg: Not specifying Directory entry behaves like before and gives access to all directories. (broken since 01-05-2018)

02-05-2018	Turley:
Added	Operator @ used to receive a function object, which can later be used to call the underlying function with the same parameters/return value via the method ".call(..)"
Note	This object can only executed in the same script instance where it was created and cannot be saved/loaded from datafiles/cprops.
Note	Use cases: function genericItemLoop(func) for item in ... // complicated checks func.call(item); endfor endfunction function changecolor(item) item.color:=6; endfunction ... genericItemLoop(@changecolor); genericItemLoop(@changeY); // (fast) function table, instead of "if" cascade var look=dictionary; look["blubb"]:=@doSomething look["blah"]:=@doSomethingElse ... look[mykey].call();
Changed	Version number of ecl files, recompilation needed.

01-07-2018	Kevin:
Added	basic::UnpackJSON(string) Given a string in JSON format, returns an eScript object representing that JSON value.
Added	basic::PackJSON(expr) Given an eScript expression (Int, Dbl, String, Array, Struct, Dict), returns a serialization of the object in JSON format.

01-05-2018	Turley:
Added	fileaccess.cfg Directory entry Can be definied multiple times in package syntax. ::config means config rootfolder, :mypkg:test means subfolder test of mypkg. Has only a meaning if AllowRemote is given. Limits the access to given folder and its subfolders.
Added	New type Boolean == != ! operators are implemented use new basic.em function Boolean(1/0) to create such type. see testsuite/escript/boolean in the sources for detailed scripts of what is possible.

01-04-2018	Kevin:
Added	os::HTTPRequest(url, method := "GET", options := struct{}) Creates an HTTP request, and returns the returned data as a string.

12-23-2017

Turley:

Added

os:PerformanceMeasure(delta_seconds, max_scripts) Monitors for given number of seconds the instructions of all scripts. Returns: struct with the following members: total_number_observed - number of scripts alive in the timespan total_instructions - sum of all instructions of the observed scripts scripts - array of structs (max number is given max_scripts param) sorted by instructions amount each scripts entry has the following members: name - script name, if attached with name/npctemplate instructions - number of executed instructions pid - PID of the script percent - percent of the total instruction amount

12-20-2017	Turley:
Changed	Doubled the speed of custom method resolution.

10-20-2017	DevGIB:
Changed	Added assume_string flag to OS::OpenConnection() to allow you to force the connection script to run as AUXSVC_ASSUME_STRING script option before the script loads in case of fast responding connections.

10-11-2017	DevGIB:
Changed	Added params to OS::OpenConnection() to allow you to pass parameters to the script that is run for the connection.

09-23-2017	Turley:
Added	array.sort(int sub_index:=0) the optional parameter specifies the index used for sorting in the case of an array of arrays

09-10-2017	Turley:
Added	poltool uncompressgump unpacks and prints content of a compressed gump only parameter is a filename, which needs to contain a single 0xDD packetlog
Added	item member no_drop 1/0 r/w (itemdesc NoDrop) if set no drop of this item is allowed container/npc member no_drop_exception 1/0 r/w (itemdesc/npctemplate NoDropException) if set this container/npc is a valid target even if no_drop is set for the item

08-03-2017	Nando:
Fixed	Shutdown crash when using character method scripts.

07-31-2017

Nando:

Fixed

Interactive commands could cause a crash when used inside a run-to-completion script (e.g., syshooks, scripts ran via OS::run_script_to_completion() and method scripts). The interactive commands will now return an error if the script can't be blocked. (Note: this does not apply to critical scripts, which *can* block). Affected commands: UO::Target(), UO::TargetCoordinates(), UO::TargetMultiPlacement(), UO::SelectMenuItem(), UO::SendDialogGump(), UO::SendGumpMenu(), UO::SendTextEntryGump(), UO::SendInstaResDialog(), UO::SelectColor(), UO::SendPopupMenu(), UO::RequestInput(), Unicode::RequestInputUC()

07-23-2017	DevGIB:
Added	_DEFAULT_TEXT_REQUIREDCMD := 0 to uo.em which allows to set a minimum cmd level that broadcasts will be sent to.
Changed	Broadcast( text, font := _DEFAULT_TEXT_FONT, color := _DEFAULT_TEXT_COLOR, requiredcmdlevel := _DEFAULT_TEXT_REQUIREDCMD ) adding requiredcmdlevel argument which allows you to set a minimum cmd level that the broadcast will be sent to.
Changed	No longer require a PID for GetProcess( pid := "" ), not selecting a PID will use the PID of the parent script.

07-17-2017	Kevin:
Fixed	PrintTextAbove*CL() now behaves similarly to PrintTextAbove*() functions, displaying the object's description instead of "System".

05-28-2017	Turley:
Removed	pol.cfg entry to disable assertions. A crash will anyway happen, thus it makes no sense and only hides the real reason.

05-28-2017	Nando:
Fixed	Crash when using SplitWords() in a script that was compiled with outdated .em files.

05-01-2017	Turley:
Fixed	Item.house property gets now reset on component remove

11-29-2016	Boberski:
Added	Support for TOL (Time of Legends) expantion.

10-23-2016	Nando:
Added	Member character.carrying_capacity (read only) Returns the current carrying capacity of a character, defined as: (40 + 3.5*STR + chr.carrying_capacity_mod)*ssopt.carrying_capacity_mod
Note	Characters can go above their carrying_capacity, but they will spend much more stamina to move according to movecost.cfg. Don't treat this as max_weight.

08-28-2016	Turley:
Fixed	Calculation of NPC AOS resistance/damage values
Added	Member object.specific_name returns 1 if a custom name is set. if its still the original (eg itemdesc) returns 0

03-27-2016	Nando:
Added	Option "ThreadStacktracesWhenStuck" to pol.cfg. Useful to debug the core when no clock movement occurs for more than 30 seconds. Defaults to false.

03-25-2016	Nando:
Fixed	Crashes when receiving very big packets.

03-24-2016	Nando:
Fixed	Crashes after deleting a component (hold, tillerman, plank) of a boat

03-23-2016	Nando:
Fixed	Possible crashes when a script teminates while executing a SQL command.

03-21-2016	Nando:
Fixed	Possible crashes when handling a client's response to menus created with CreateMenu()

03-02-2016	Nando:
Changed	POL will default to use multithreading (Multithread = 1 in pol.cfg).
Note	Multithread=0 is deprecated and likely buggy. It's possible that it doesn't even work at the moment. Because every OS should support threading by now, we see no reason to maintain two separate systems. Singlethread support will be removed in the next version.

03-02-2016	Nando & Turley:
Fixed	Possible crashes when sending events to npcs whose event queues were full.

02-29-2016	Nando & Turley:
Fixed	Data races when dealing with clients. Some other not-reproducible crashes should also go away now.

02-15-2016	Nando:
Changed	UO::SendQuestArrow(x := -1, y := -1, target := "") This function will now work for HSA clients (version > 7.0.9), which require a larger packet. Target is ignored for older clients, but is required (and must be a valid Item or Character reference) for HSA clients.
Added	UO::SingleClick(who, what) This function will emulate a single-click from the client, sending the character name, guild and tags or the item description. Note that the client may display the item description wherever it had clicked before. "what" can be either a serial, item or character.

01-31-2016	Bodom:
Added	CProp profiler: helps detecting unused CProps. It can be enabled by using the new pol.cfg option "ProfileCProps". For better results, should be enabled before startup. Impacts on performance very slightly, but consumes an average of 300 bytes of extra RAM for every CProp used. New polsys.em function LogCPropProfile() can be called to dump the profiling information into cpprofile.log.

01-30-2016	Bodom & Nando:
Fixed	Spoofing prevention on packet 0xD7 (custom housing)

01-22-2016	Bodom:
Fixed	Minor bug in ecompile allowing Double literals in the form "2d4". These were incorrectly interpreted as "2e4", meaning 20000 and leading to confusion with dice rolls. The compiler now issues an error instead.

01-20-2016	Bodom:
Added	New Item.house property, returns a reference to the house if the item is a component of it (listed in House.components()). This is the intended replacement for the previously removed CProp "house_serial": use item.house.serial instead of GetObjProperty(item, "house_serial").

12-27-2015	Bodom & Nando:
Fixed	Linux crash on shutdown

12-26-2015	Bodom:
Fixed	Bug in String.format() String tags were not correctly processed. "{name} you hit level {level}".format(struct{name:="Jane Doe", level:=4}) now correctly formats as "Jane Doe you hit level 4" instead of "Jane Doe you hit level <invalid index: #2>"

12-18-2015	Bodom:
Added	New eScript escape sequence in strings "\xAA". Allows to specify a single character by its binary value (\x01 to \xFF). The value must always be 2 digits long, in hex, case insensitive (eg. \xA is not valid).

12-05-2015	Bodom:
Added	Buff Bar support New Character's addBuff(), delBuff() and clearBuffs() methods, please see docs for details and explanation. 0xDF packets are automatically sent when needed (eg. at relogin). Buff Bar status is not saved, maybe it will be in future.

11-28-2015	Bodom:
Added	New Client object properties last_packet_at and last_activity_at

11-01-2015	Bodom:
Added	mysql_query() now supports a third "parameters" (array) argument. It can be used to safely replace "?" placeholders inside the query with corresponding array entries.

10-27-2015	Bodom:
Added	New pol.cfg option AllowMultiClientsPerAccount (default: false) When true, allows multiple characters from the same account to be logged in at the same time
Fixed	Items' CProps were loaded again from itemdesc.cfg at startup when deleted

10-18-2015	Bodom:
Fixed	MoveItemToContainer could stack non-stackable items in some circumstances

10-07-2015	Bodom:
Removed	"house_serial" CProp is no longer set by core for house components
Fixed	Exception when editing a custom house with components outside of the house

10-06-2015	Bodom:
Fixed	Fixed crash condition (stack overflow) when unequipping last armor piece weared by an NPC and then receiving an hit.
Changed	Intrinsic armor now takes precedence over equipped armor (is was the opposite before). Anyway, using both of them could lead to unexpected behavior so it is not a good pratice.

10-02-2015	Bodom:
Added	Intrinsic Shield support, works just like intrinsic weapons New extobj.cfg entry "Shield" (defaults to 0x1F022) New item must be defined in itemdesc.cfg // Intrinsic Shield template - special pseudo Shield for NPCs Armor 0x1F022 { Name intrinsicshield Graphic 1 MaxHP 1 SaveOnExit 0 }

09-30-2015	Bodom:
Added	MoveItemToContainer parameter add_to_existing_stack can now be 2 for "auto" behavior The function will try to add the item to an existing stack and just try move the item inside the container if no stack is found

09-29-2015	Bodom:
Fixed	When a robe is already equipped before resurrect, no longer destroy it to equip the death robe
Fixed	When HonorUnequipScriptOnDeath is on, item's unequip and unequiptest scripts were called twice on death and in the wrong order

09-27-2015	Bodom:
Fixed	Armor were not calculated correctly for NPCs wearing equip
Fixed	Allow changing graphic of equipped items again if the new graphic has the same layer

09-25-2015	Bodom:
Added	New uo.em function SendPopUpMenu( to, above, menu ).
Added	On pop-up menu request (single click) "misc/popupmenu.ecl" is called.
Fixed	When using MapDiff, tiles could disappear in some circumstances

09-24-2015	Bodom:
Added	New keyword AttackCProp on npcdesc.cfg allows defining CProps for intrinsic weapons.
Fixed	Hp/MaxHp updates to nearby clients were still using the real value instead of the 1000-based ratio when sending the 0xa1 packet.
Fixed	Hp/MaxHp updates were sent twice to the originating character.

09-12-2015	Bodom:
Fixed	Bug in loading POL098 and older data files: boats were rotated leaving dynamic elements like plank and tillerman on the old position.

09-08-2015	Bodom:
Fixed	Bug in LAN IP address identification (some IPs in 172.16.0.0/12 were skipped)

09-06-2015	Nando:
Added	Data integrity check will test if the item serial is valid (serial >= 0x40000000) when loading items.
Fixed	Items could be created with character serials if the wrong values were saved in data/pol.txt.
Note	Character serials must be in the range 1 to 0x3FFFFFF (inclusive), while item serials must be between 0x40000000 and 0x7FFFFFFF (inclusive).

09-06-2015	Bodom:
Added	New Item.process property Returns reference to the controlscript, if any running
Changed	Script.attached_to now returns a reference to the Item when called on a ControlScript
Added	New servspecopt.cfg option DefaultCharacterHeight (1-32) This will be the default (and never changed so far) height of Characters and NPCs. Default value is 15. Back in the POL095 days is was 9, so consider 9-15 as your "safe" play range. Anything outside that range could cause weird movement behavior. Even small changes will have a great impact on LOS calculations and, more in general, on the combat system. It is also used to calculate wether a Character can fit under a low passage (e.g. dungeon stairs). Keep in mind a Titan and a Slime will have the same height.

09-05-2015	Bodom:
Changed	Process ids (pid) no longer start from 1 but from 0x01000000. This should have no practical effect.
Added	Allow specifying an arbitrary Gump id in SendDialogGump() Custom gump ids must be in the range 1-0xFFFFFF. If no gumpid is given, the old behavior of using the pid will still be used (so that this does not break backward compatibility). It is now possible to organize the gumpids in a constants file and have the same gump to always be sent with the same id. This way the client will recognize it and, if the player moved it last time, it will reposition it where the player liked it: this should be a nice interface improvement. It is now possible to implement the Virtues gump, since it needs a pre-defined gumpid of 0x01CD to work.
Changed	CloseGump() now accepts a gumpid instead of a pid. For scripts not using custom gump ids, its behavior is the same as before.

09-03-2015	Bodom:
Added	Item insurance support, new Item.insured property (0/1) An insured item behaves on death like a newbie item, except that the insured flag gets reset back to 0 after every death. If the item for some reason (e.g. when backpack is full) will get dropped instead, the insured flag will be reset anyway. Insured items are not stackable with normal items but they can still be sold to vendors.
Hint	this feature can also be used in conjunction with CanDie sys hook to determine via script which items a player will drop on death; since the CanDie hook is called exactly one moment before death you can use it to insure the items that you don't want to fall on the corpse.
Added	RepSys NameColor and HighLightColor hooks can now return -1 to let the core run the builtin code.

08-27-2015

Bodom:

Added

New eScript keyword: unused This keyword can now be added before a variable name in function or program block declarations. It has no effect on the resulting compiled code, but instructs the compiler not to issue a warning if the following variable will not be used. The compiler will instead fire a warning if the interested variable will then be used later in the code. Examples: program onremovescript( character, container, unused item, unused item_amount, movetype ) // Here the variables item and item_amount are needed in the program declaration but will not be used, // the unused keyword prevents warnings to be triggered endprogram function myfunc( parameter1, unused parameter_for_future_use ) // Same as above: parameter_for_future_use is not used and unused prevents the warning message endfunction

07-27-2015	Turley:
Added	array.cycle([count]) will move array backwards or forwards in-place as it were a conveyor belt. {1, 2, 3}.cycle() Will make it: {3, 1, 2} Accepts a negative value as a shift to move different direction
Changed	string.format() Now actually faster than string concatenation in eScript Fixes a bug where {:d} formating could cause an arbitrary number shown instead of a real value tag errors are slightly more intuitive and compact.
Note	Patches submitted by andenixa

02-08-2015	Turley:
Added	PolCore().memory_usage member, returns current process usage in KB
Changed	0xF1 Freeshard list pkt is now allowed during login state, thus its possible to create eg a UOGateway pkthook for this pkt

01-31-2015	Turley:
Added	uo::ListMobilesInBox( x1,y1,z1, x2,y2,z2, realm := _DEFAULT_REALM ) like ListObjectsInBox but returns only mobiles.
Changed	uo::List*InBox functions accept as z parameters LIST_IGNORE_Z Thx @ andenixa
Added	uo::GetMidpointCircleCoords( xcenter, ycenter, radius ) based on given center coordinates and radius returns array of x,y structs which represent a circle Thx @ andenixa The array of coordinates is sorted, which means that its easily possible to only use every second point

09-12-2014	Nando:
Fixed	Client crash with clients older than 7.0.9.0 but newer than 7.0.0.0, because of wrong size in boat movement packets.

07-12-2014	Nando:
Fixed	Items were not disappearing from the character's backpack after being moved to the corpse.
Fixed	Items were disappearing from the corpse when an equippable item was moved/inserted into it.

11-13-2014	Nando:
Added	EnforceMountObjtype property in pol.cfg. Will enforce that only items with the mount objtype (as defined in extobj.cfg, default 0x1F021) can be mounted.
Fixed	Inconsistency when handling mount objects that would trigger an assertion for equipping items with the mount objtype but a bad graphic.
Note	To be equipped as a mount, the item must be in the mount tiles list of uoconvert.cfg. This ensures that the item has layer 25 and the equippable flag, otherwise it won't be considered equippable.

11-05-2014	Nando:
Added	polsys::Realms() will now report how many offline mobiles and multis there are.
Added	"ShowRealmInfo" option in pol.cfg (default to false). Will report every once in a while the number of items, mobiles and multis per realm.
Added	uo::ListOfflineMobilesInRealm(realm) method to return the list of offline mobiles in a specific realm. Useful for moving the offline mobiles out of a shadow realm before deleting it.
Fixed	Crash bug when deleting shadow realms while an offline mobile or a multi were still in it.
Fixed	Top-level items were not properly counted when moved between realms.

10-29-2014	Nando:
Fixed	Crash bug when deleting item directly from a corpse.

10-19-2014	Turley:
Added	AnimXlate.cfg for newer clients
Added	example animxlate.cfg: defines which graphics support mount translation and per graphic type how to translate animation from older clients to newer (7.0.9.0) see cfg for description of possible entries.

09-23-2014	Nando:
Changed	Corpses will no longer send the full list of contents before being open. Only the equipped items will be shown. This should decrease slowdowns in areas with many corpses.

09-21-2014	Nando:
Fixed	Corpses will now equip items that are placed on them, even if they don't have an OnInsert script.
Fixed	Possible crash when items having layers larger than 25 were placed/removed from corpses.

06-07-2014	Tomi:
Fixed	using DestroyItem or SubtractAmount on an item 'gotten' it will now first release the item and then destroy it
Fixed	NPCs looks for players for enter/leftarea events when, these were only looking for npcs - moved with MoveObjectToLocation function - on every move - unhide - npc creation
Fixed	Destroying an equipped item now calls unequip scripts
Fixed	Changing cmdlevel with chr.cmdlevel := or chr.SetCmdLevel() sends updates correctly to see concealed characters Old Commits:
Changed	pol.cfg MinCmdLevel checked already during the first accountlogin, so now it doesnt let those connections go all the way to char creation anymore.
Fixed	Crash during character creation where equipment realm was not updated and pol crashed when unequipping/equipping.
Fixed	Setting Enter/Left area event listening for npcs on range 32 did never send the left area on distance 33

05-26-2014	Turley:
Added	character.last_textcolor readonly member returns last textcolor of the character. Values are between 2 and 1001. Returns 0 if not yet spoken. (will not be saved inside of the datafile)

05-06-2014	Tomi:
Added	Realm entry to startlocs.cfg, The earlier MapID still needed for the client to show the map correctly, but realm is needed for the server to put the character during creation in the correct realm, default value "britannia"

04-05-2014	Turley:
Fixed	multi.items returns now all toplevel items inside of the multi

03-15-2014	Turley:
Changed	sql functions connect, select and query perform the communication part in background while script itself is stopped (like eg Target()). Which means that these time consuming functions do not block the complete shard. Removed sql module from runecl, since it no more compatible.

03-01-2014	Nando:
Added	Character.temporally_criminal is true when a criminal timer is running on the character.
Note	The old property chr.criminal stays the same: it is true when the character is temporally criminal or a murderer.

02-27-2014	Tomi:
Fixed	changing cmdlevel now updates correctly which concealed characters you see
Fixed	crashes when parent script is killed before child script returns
Fixed	crashes when reporting error in an armordesc entry defined in config\itemdesc.cfg

02-25-2014	Tomi:
Added	Boat Smooth move for clients which support it ( HSA+ )
Added	boat.em flags ( These flags are ignored for boat movements sent to old than HSA clients ) const BOAT_SPEED_ONE_TILE := 1; const BOAT_SPEED_SLOW := 2; const BOAT_SPEED_MEDIUM := 3; const BOAT_SPEED_FAST := 4;
Changed	boat.em functions MoveBoat( boat, facing ) to MoveBoat( boat, facing, speed := BOAT_SPEED_ONE_TILE ) MoveBoatRelative( boat, direction ) to MoveBoatRelative( boat, direction, speed := BOAT_SPEED_ONE_TILE )
Note	The same functions are used to move boats for older and never clients, older clients ignore the speed parameter, but the speed paramter is required for smooth move. The clientversions are checked in core to determine what type of boat movement will be sent

02-01-2014	Tomi:
Fixed	Customhousing exterior stairs delete is now working, commiting does not readd them anymore
Fixed	Customhousing changing floor is now sending a full msg instead of short msg, so no more synch needed after changing floors until you can start working on it

01-20-2014	Nando:
Added	DisableNagle option in pol.cfg to disable Nagle's algorithm, default to 0. In theory, latency should improve if DisableNagle=1.

01-20-2014

Turley:

Fixed

Made the sql module atleast a bit script friendly. Removed the mysql_free_result function since the result objects automatically get destroyed on scope exit. Passing the sql objects as function parameters is now also possible. mysql_close is now also senseless, but kept it for anyone who wants to directly close the connection. Boolean check for the connection object performs now a ping and returns false if the connection is lost (eg. timeout)

12-31-2013	Turley:
Added	Print small backtrace on crash/passert failure, should help a bit without the need of the dump. Works only under Windows 64bit
Changed	optimized world object storage and usage. Should improve eg pkt sends and scales better.

11-03-2013	Tomi:
Fixed	Container Max Weight works now like it did earlier before _mod changes, all values <= 0 sets it as 0xFFFF max weight

10-25-2013	Turley:
Fixed	newbie flagged backpack caused endless loop on death

10-21-2013	Tomi:
Added	polsys::FormatItemDescription( desc, amount := 1, suffix := "" ) This formats the desc using Pols built in Singular/Plular formatter

10-04-2013	Turley:
Fixed	\= operation

10-01-2013	Tomi:
Fixed	Container.locked works again

09-25-2013	Tomi:
Added	character.DisableSkillsFor( duration ) method to disable skills that are started with start_skill_script or by scritps defined in attributes.cfg for duration ( seconds ) This method overrides the default Delay setting in attributes.cfg if used ( for example if on failing a skill you want no delay just set it to 0 ) This can also be used to disable skills for example during an event or pvp
Added	item.name_suffix for adding crafter marks or such item.desc returns the formatted name and suffix added to it without formatting if it exists item.name does not include this suffix, so that can be used to get the item name without formatting and without suffix

09-21-2013	Tomi:
Changed	Pol doesnt send "I am frozen" messages anymore when paralyzed, now it sends in all those cases "I am paralyzed" messages

09-20-2013	Tomi:
Fixed	Invul changes now sends the healthbar color correctly for UOKR and later clients
Fixed	All repsys changes now send the update correctly to yourself and all client around you
Removed	support for murderer healthbars for UOKR clients.

09-18-2013	Tomi:
Added	cfgfile::GetConfigIntArray, works the same way as GetConfigStringArray but returns an array of ints instead of strings
Changed	Item.name now returns itemdesc.Desc without singluar/plural formatting if no name is set and name from tiledata if no itemdesc entry found

09-17-2013	Tomi:
Fixed	Item.SplitStackInto and Item.SplitStackAt methods for non stackable items ( now also works splitting non stackable items 1 by 1 from a stack force created )
Fixed	Mountpieces will not be copied into corpses during character death anymore even if they are non movable

09-03-2013	Tomi:
Changed	Equipment members .maxhp_mod .hp .maxhp and .quality moved to Item only Weapons and Armors need to have the MaxHP defined in itemdesc because core combat is using it, for all other items there is a default value 1
Added	Weapon RW member .speed_mod ( -32,768 to 32,767 ) as an optional way to delay if you want to use the default speed math and just add to that
Fixed	upper limits using the container members .max_items_mod .max_weight_mod and .max_slots_mod if max_items >= 3200 it will be set to 3200 if max_weight >= 65535 it will be set to 65535 if max_slots >= 255 it will be set to 255
Note	None of these members can go below zero

09-02-2013	Tomi:
Added	Container RW members .max_items_mod( −32,768 to 32,767 ) .max_weight_mod( −32,768 to 32,767 ) and .max_slots_mod( −128 to 127 ) ( default values 0 )

08-31-2013	Turley
Fixed	EScript memoryleak (eg myvar[blubb]:=othervar)

08-28-2013	Tomi ( based on andenixas patch )
Added	ssopt.MobilesBlockNpcMovement ( default true ) to determine if mobiles block the movement of npcs
Note	Tamed npcs with same master ( npc.master ) still blocks each others movement even with the flag false to not allow them run on top of each others when following the master

08-27-2013

Nando (patch by andenixa, text adapted from forum post):

Added

string.format( args ) - formats a string using the data from args Accepts the following format: {:x} for hex representation {:o} for octal {:b} for binary Add a # to get notation prefix: E.g. "{:x}".format(10) -> "a" "{:#x}".format(10) -> "0xa" Parameters can be simple: "You have {} gold coins".format(120) -> "You have 120 gold coins" and are unpacked implicitly by their order: "{} hits {} for {} of damage".format("John", "Bob", 120) -> "John hits Bob for 120 of damage" However you can specify parameters explicitly (first argument is at 1): "You hit {2} for {1} damage".format(120, "John Doe") -> "You hit John Doe for 120 damage" Format allows accessing object members: "Spell {1.spell_name} requires reagents: {1.reagents}".format(struct{spell_name:="Fire Wrath", "Ba, Bm, Ga"}) -> "Spell Fire Wrath requires reagents: Ba, Bm, Ga" Implicit members also work: "{name} you hit level {level}".format(struct{name:="Jane Doe", level:=4}) -> "Jane Doe you hit level 4" Character or item members are accessed the same way: "{1.name}, your shield {2.desc} has {2.hp} hp".format(who, who.shield)" -> "Admin, your shield Buckler of Death has 150 hp"

07-27-2013	Tomi:
Changed	UO::TargetMultiPlacement( character, objtype, flags := 0, xoffset := 0, yoffset := 0, hue := 0 ); New optional hue parameter to show hued multis which are supprted by clients >= 7.0.9 ( HSA ) Older clients ignores this option

02-26-2013	Kevin:
Fixed	item.SplitStackInto(container,amount,add_to_existing_stack := 1) no longer requires three parameters and will default the add_to_existing_stack to 1/true if not present
Fixed	item.SplitStackInto() with add_to_existing_stack == 1 will re-add the removed-portion of stack back to original item if it cannot add to the existing stack (ie, container's caninsert script returns false)
Changed	item.SplitStackInto() with add_to_existing_stack == 1 will first attempt to add to an existing stack if found, and otherwise will create a new stack if no existing stack found. This is similar to how the existing CreateItemInContainer() works

02-20-2013	Tomi:
Fixed	When changing graphic of a lightsource item, it now changes correctly the facing too.
Fixed	Status bar now shows for weapon mindamage ( id.mindamage + dmg_mod ) and for maxdamage ( id.maxdamage + dmg_mod )

Turley:

Added

string methods: str.length() : returns like len(str) the length of the string str.upper() : returns like upper(str) the uppercase version and also modifies the str str.lower() : returns like lower(str) the lowercase version and also modifies the str str.find(Search,[Start]) : returns like Find(string, search, start) the index of the first occurance of 'search' after 'start' within str but unlike the basic.em function the Start parameter is optional if not given it searches the whole string str.join(array) : returns a string which is the concatenation of the array elements, seperated by str

11-14-2012	Turley:
Changed	SplitWords( str, delimiter := " ", max_split := -1 ) it has now an additional parameter max_split, if given it limits the number of times that a string will be split

Added	ecompile its now possible to override through the cmdline GenerateDependencyInfo entry with "-D-" GenerateDebugInfo entry with "-x-"

11-10-2012	Turley:
Added	uoclient.cfg Listener property "KeepClients" 1/0 default 0 if set to 1 clients keep this listener port even after different gameserver select
Note	actually 1 is the old behaviour and 0 the old behaviour of pol.cfg ListenPort
Added	pol.cfg "UseSingleThreadLogin" 1/0 default 0 if set all prelogin clients are handled inside the listener thread and not inside an extra thread this will reduce the amount of thread creates and destroys

10-14-2012	Tomi:
Added	SystemHook "WarmodeChange" called when a character changes warmode status either by member .warmode or by clicking the warmode button on the paperdoll Params CharRef and new_warmode_status Return value is ignored

08-29-2012	Turley:
Fixed	Crash if a attached script kills the attached npc

08-27-2012	Tomi:
Changed	MoveItemToContainer( item, container, x := -1, y := -1 ); to MoveItemToContainer( item, container, x := -1, y := -1, add_to_existing_stack := 0 );
Changed	item.SplitStackInto( container, amount ) to item.SplitStackInto( container, amount, add_to_existing_stack := 0 )
Note	The optional add_to_existing_stack parameter defines if the items moved to the container will look for an existing stack and add to it or just add as a new item ( old behaviour ) If add_to_existing_stack == 1 and there is no stack in the container, it will return Error "There is no existing stack", so its up to scripts to check this.
Added	item.HasExistingStack( container ) to allow scripts to check if there is an existing stack in a container or not, returns the ItemRef of the stack if it exists.

08-26-2012	Nando:
Removed	Support for ListenPort in pol.cfg when Multithread is activated. Everyone should be using uoclients.cfg by now!

08-01-2012	Kevin:

Added	Support for new map message packet 0xF5 for clients 7.0.13+ This packet supports the new facetXX.mul files and now can use every different realm for cartography maps and sea charts.
Added	r/w member .facetid for Maps This has actually nothing to do with realms, the value is the same as in FacetXX.mul file

04-06-2012	Tomi:
Fixed	Roof problem at 4th floor on a custom house. Patch submitted by Agata
Added	Packet 0xD6 to be ignored for activity ( fixes inactivity logout for ML+ ) Patch submitted by OWHorus

Fixed	Old boats didnt read the components correctly on server restart

01-21-2012	Tomi:
Removed	Graphic from multis, no graphic entry needed for multis in itemdescs anymore, uoconvert doesnt add a graphic value to multis anymore.
Added	MultiID entry to boats.cfg instead of the ObjType.
Changed	Multi itemdescs now require MultiID to be defined for each multi.
Note	Multi objtypes still need to be > MaxTileID from pol.cfg Example of a multi entry in itemdesc Boat 0x10000 { Name SmallBoatN MultiID 0x0 }
Added	boats.cfg is now shipped with the core too with boats up to date with HSA so just remove what you dont use.
Note	Reconvert of multis.cfg with UOConvert needed Make sure you have a itemdesc entry for every boat direction

01-21-2012	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.

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

12-17-2011	Tomi:
Added	Support for hued boats, use the normal .color r/w member to change the hue Patch Submitted by Agata

12-14-2011	Tomi:
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 )

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. extobj.cfg is now shipped with the core.

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.

12-01-2011	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	MuadDib:
Changed	UoClientGeneral.maxskills changed to unsigned short. Few places in loops with it changed to use same for the loop counter.

11-30-2011	Tomi:
Fixed	Old style spellbooks.

11-29-2011	MuadDib:
Fixed	Fixed a script breaker caused by inserting new TypeOfInt() constants in the middle of the Enum. Moved SQL Types to end of list.
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

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.

11-24-2011	Tomi:

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.
Changed	runecl/runecl.cpp Added the sql module to runecl to allow quick testing
Changed	pol/uoscrobj.cpp pol/mobile/charactr.cpp pol/mobile/character.h bscript/parser.cpp bscript/objmembers.h Added read/write property "mountedsteps" for mobiles. Represents number of steps taken while character was mounted.
Changed	bscript/parser.cpp Declaring an array only using "{}" will show a compiler warning; please explicitly state 'array', 'struct', or 'dictionary'
Changed	pol/pol.cpp If using Linux, remove pol.pid on shutdown of pol.
Changed	pol/uoexec.h pol/scrsched.cpp Added script option "AUXSVC_ASSUME_STRING" which will allow aux service connections to send and receive non-packed strings.
Changed	ecompile/ecompile.cpp If using Linux, a slash ("/") cannot be used to define ecompile options to allow support for absolute filenames.
Changed	bscript/object.cpp bscript/bobject.h Implemented array operation MultiSubscript. Will return a splice of an array, eg: array{"a","b","c","d","e"}[2,4] will return array{"b","c","d"}

11-12-2011	Tomi:
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
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	startlocs.cfg default values for MapID ( 0 ) and Cliloc ( 1075072 which is the Yew town information ) 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	can 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

10-15-2011	Austin:
Added	.doubleclickrange for items (read only).

09-03-2011	Turley:
Added	DestroyMulti(house) returns error "House currently being customized."
Added	house.cancelediting(chr, drop_changes) will stop editing mode. drop_changes 1/0 if true drops all non committed changes
Errors	"House is not custom","House is currently not been edited","Character is not editing this house"
Added	Syshook CloseCustomHouse(mobile, house) called after client quits editing, or when house.cancelediting() is called return value is ignored
Added	servspecopt.cfg "SpeedHack_MountRunDelay" default 80 ms "SpeedHack_MountWalkDelay" default 180 ms "SpeedHack_FootRunDelay" default 180 ms "SpeedHack_FootWalkDelay" default 380 ms Change them on your own risk

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

05-04-2011	Turley:
Fixed	Questarrow packet

04-30-2011	Turley:

03-12-2011	Turley:
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

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.

09-14-2009	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

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:

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

06-25-2009	Turley:
Added	new r/o Members (Array{Struct{"serial","ref","seconds"}}) Mobile.aggressorto Mobile.lawfullydamaged as interface for core repsyssystem

06-20-2009	Turley:
Added	new r/w Members (Double) default 1.0 Mobile.movecost_walk_mod Mobile.movecost_run_mod Mobile.movecost_walk_mounted_mod Mobile.movecost_run_mounted_mod used as multiplier see movecost.cfg doc for exact calculation

06-17-2009	Turley:
Added	Method Array.randomentry() shortcut for var entry:=array[RandomInt(array.size())+1];
Added	uo::GetRegionLightLevelAtLocation(x,y,realm) returns the current region lightlevel

05-02-2009	Turley:
Added	new TargetCoordinates return member "multi" with multiref if coords are inside a multi

04-17-2009	Turley:
Changed	SpeechMul SysHook has now an additional parameter with the complete message as string
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

POL098.2

08-21-2009	Turley:
Fixed	Regions where limited to 128 due to intern (char)id, changed to ushort

07-31-2009	MuadDib:
Fixed	Cleanup crash in shutdown involving characters and combat. Now all clients and characters are disconnected by the core before any cleanup is intiated. This will begin the cleanup for client and character alike.

07-20-2009	MuadDib:
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:
Added	Support for client 6.0.14.2 and latest UOKR (this change breaks every older UOKR) packet 0xB9 has now a length of 5

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	Reset now occurs for tile_layer internal property when graphic is changed on item class.
Fixed	SetOpponent() for npcs will now once again correctly set the warmode.

05-20-2009	Turley:
Fixed	TypeOf() return of Error

05-14-2009	Turley:
Fixed	some Memoryleaks

04-29-2009	Turley:
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:
Added	Comparison check == for Boat,Multi,GuildRef

04-19-2009	MuadDib:
Fixed	Endian format for SendPartyMsg().

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.

04-02-2009	MuadDib:
Fixed	Crash in cleanup of character objects during Shutdown and deletion.
Fixed	Crash involving sending warmode information during disconnect/shutdown.

04-01-2009	Nando:
Fixed	When creating a new char, attributes' caps weren't being set to the default value and were just set to a random value.

03-30-2009	Nando:
Fixed	Sometimes when casting a spell, a race-condition would make POL end with a passert( !start_attached || (script_ex == NULL) ) error in chrituse.cpp.
Fixed	Bug in Packet::GetString(offset, len) where it would return a string of 'len' ascii chars, regardless of having a null-byte in there. Will now limit to len or the first null-byte found, whichever comes first.

03-30-2009	MuadDib
Fixed	Equipment.quality will now convert plain integers to Double/Float for it when using item.quality:=2; instead of item.quality:=2.0;

03-28-2009	Turley:
Fixed	Resend party list if remove hooks dont allow it

03-27-2009	Turley:
Fixed	Crash in party speechhandler

03-27-2009	MuadDib:
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.

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!

03-18-2009	MuadDib:
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

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	implemented PartyRef comparisons are ! and ==
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.

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.

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()).

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.
Note	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.
Note	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.
Note	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)

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)
Note	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).
Note	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)
Note	since client 6.0.5.0 the clientversion is instantly known (new seed packet)
Added	support of new seed packet (>=6.0.5.0)
Note	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);

12-18	MuadDib:
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)

12-17	MuadDib:
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.

10-29	Luth:
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 );
Note	mobile.facing := [0-7]; is the same as calling: mobile.SetFacing( [0-7], FACE_NORMAL );
Added	MOVEITEM_IGNOREMOVABLE flag to move an object regardless of its .movable property
Fixed	Paperdolls now give all information for self, and less information for others

09-23	Turley:
Added	uo::PlaySoundEffectXYZ( x, y, z, effect, realm := _DEFAULT_REALM );

09-17	Turley:
Added	uo::CreateNPCFromTemplate param override_properties can now contain .CProps Dictionary (key=cpropname value=cpropvalue)

09-08	Turley:
Added	uo::UpdateMobile(mob) Sends to mobiles in visual range UpdatePlayer packet of mob, for example to inform of notority changes
Added	Packet 0xC7 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 privilages: "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

POL097.4

03-19-2009	MuadDib:
Fixed	Crash in reporting of leftover objects during Shutdown.

02-28-2009	VeNdOr:
Fixed	Crash involving Auxconnection.ip.
Fixed	NPC events ENTEREDAREA and LEFTAREA were both fired even when one of them was eanbled.

02-28-2009	MuadDib:
Fixed	NPC.ar bug where ar was not reading intrinsic ar correctly when using ar_mod for the NPC.

02-25-2009	Nando:
Fixed	Removed a stray '\n' that was being sent at the end of a binary transfer in browser, causing some images to be corrupted. (This will finally solve the problem with some 'blank' images)

02-22-2009	Nando:
Fixed	Internal webserver will now handle binary files correctly. This was causing sporadic fails when loading a webpage which had images, stylesheets or any other of those fancy things...

POL097.3

01-31-2009	MuadDib:
Added	POL.Cfg::MiniDumpType=variable. This is a new DMP file version. For now, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THIS IF YOU EXPERIENCE A LOT OF CRASHES OR ONES YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT! The reason for this, is it is a small dump PLUS it stores all variable information from internal core functions in relation to the crash. This is information that could be VERY crucial to us Core Developers when you send the DMP file to the forums. So please, try to start using this one (We know the large option can be horendous. This is an alternative to that).
Fixed	Null Package fix (Luth did this one a while back in 098)

01-14	Nando
Changed	Highest allowed mobile graphic is now 0x800 (2048). Was 1024 since POL070.. wow... :)

POL097.2

01-05	Turley
Fixed	URL percent decoding (like %2F= '/')

12-31	Nando:
Fixed	Internal webserver's threads weren't being reported in case there were threads hanging when shutting down. This might not solve the "zombie connections" bug, but will at least change it's name to "internal webserver bug", I'm hoping.

12-30	MuadDib:
Added	POL.Cfg::ReportMissingConfigs 0/1 (Default 1). Handles if Missing Config File reports are printed to the Debug.Log file. These are reports for example, when you use :*:npcdesc to open all npcdesc files in a script but not all packages of course will have this file.
Changed	Weapons now have a Default Speed of 35 if no entry for Speed is in the itemdesc.cfg file if Delay is used. If no Delay, then will still throw an error and fail to load.
Fixed	Typo on spellbook reports.

12-17	MuadDib:
Fixed	Possible memory leak with AOS Tooltips.

12-16	MuadDib:
Fixed	Memory leak in Packet Class using .Setxxxx Methods on Variable Length Packets.
Added	Error Struct "Offset value out of range on a fixed length packet" when trying to use packet.Setxxxx() whose value is out of range in a fixed length packet.

POL097.1

09-17	Turley:
Changed	To simplify usage util::RandonIntMinMax() now accepts negative Integers and if parameters in wrong order swaps them

09-12	Turley:
Fixed	Memoryleak in PathFind
Fixed	If only PacketHook SendFunction is defined on receive default handler is called if exists

09-09-2008	Austin:
Fixed	Usernames and passwords will accept all characters except control characters '\t','\f','\v','\n','\r' the characters '{' '}' and spaces.

POL097

08-28	Turley:
Fixed	math::Min()/Max() now returns Integer/Double based on params

08-26	Turley:
Fixed	AR recalc if parryskill changes, or if hp,maxhp_mod,ar_mod of equipt armor changes

08-23	Turley:
Fixed	Event queue full error prints now event details

08-20	Turley:
Fixed	server-side check if item is stackable on drop

08-19	Turley:
Fixed	Character.clientversion string

08-19	Luth
Added	Added Run_Script to OS.em. Similar to Run_Script_To_Completion, but the script is not run in critical mode, and the calling script is put on hold until the run script returns. Run_Script returns the value that the run script returned.

08-16	Turley:
Changed	Character.connected startup value is 0
Added	Accountname string struct member "account" added to pre-character selection Packets

08-15	Austin:
Added	Setting for servspecopt.cfg 'ScriptedAttackChecks' Default is disabled. If enabled, the combat hook must check distance, line of sight, visibility and if both combatants are alive.

07-29	Mehdorn:
Changed	uo::ReserveItem() will return 1 - Item has been reserved by me. 2 - Item was already reserved by me. Error - Item is in use by someone else, or invalid Parameter.

07-08	Turley:
Changed	Status of other player (e.g. WarMode) will be shown correctly.
Added	Character.MoveMode member. Returns the MoveMode like given in NPCDesc.
Added	Item.Stackable member. Returns 0/1 based on stackability of Item. uo::IsStackable(). Returns 0/1 if both Items can be stacked together.
Changed	Random Number Generator "lagged Fibonacci generator" will be used.
Added	util::RandomIntMinMax(). Return Random Value between...

07-26	VeNdOr:
Added	ApplyDamage now returns the real damage applied to the mobile.

05-28	VeNdOr:
Fixed	In some conditions, when the AuxScript exited, the AuxConnection didn't close.

05-23	Austin:
Fixed	If MinCmdlevelToLogin was used, characters could not be created. POL will now check the account's default command level.
Added	servspecopt.cfg CoreHitSounds default: disabled If disabled, scripts will handle sounds when a mobile is damaged. If enabled, will work as it did before - but for npcs will use a DamagedSound property from its config file.

02-09	Shinigami:
Fixed	Bug in Unpack() with zero length Strings.

02-08	Austin:
Added	CharacterSlots setting in pol.cfg. Defaults to 5. This is to set the maximum number of slots an account can hold - to support clients that support 6 slots.

02-05	Austin:
Changed	The freemove privilege will also allow targetting to be done when frozen / paralyzed.

02-02	Madman:
Changed	Trying to move when Paralyzed will no longer spam your screen with "You are frozen and cannot move."

12-09	Shinigami:
Fixed	Bug in Unpack() with Strings in Arrays, Dictionaries etc. in case that the String is not the last element.

11-05	MuadDib
Added	Character.Cursor member. Returns 0/1 based on if character has an active cursor. Character.Gump member. Returns 0/1 based on if character has any active gumps. Character.Prompt member. Returns 0/1 based on if character has any active unicode and/or normal text prompt gumps open.

10-20	MuadDib
Removed	Basic::Left and Basic::Mid. These functions reported not working since 095, and code was set to not use them anyway. Val[int, int] works anyway and does what these functions do.
Added	Basic::SubStr(string, start, length). Replace for left/right/mid. Works same way as virtual SubStrings in eScript (val[int, int]). This is for those who like the func methods instead.
Added	Math::Min and Math::Max functions.

10-11	MuadDib
Fixed	Changing realms with Season info would reset light levels until next light update in that realm. Send Season in core now sends light level whenever season info is sent to the client (Client issue). Also fixes an issue with seasons and 1.x clients.
Added	servspecopt.cfg::DefaultLightLevel=ushort. New default light level setting for regions with no light level defined in regions cfg files. Default is 10. Replaced arbitrary setting in core.
Fixed	Exploit in Create Character system.

10-10	MuadDib
Fixed	uo::CreateAccount() will no longer accept non-alphanumeric characters for account name, will return error stating such if one is used. Also now passwords can contain all characters except whitespace and control characters. Please test heavily. I tested for the commons via script already.

10-04	MuadDib
Changed	NPC::IsLegalMove() will now explicitly check for a MOVE in the given direction, regardless of NPC's current Facing. Will stop AI's that have NPC's using Bounding Boxes that walk out of the box by checking legal move, turning, then moving 1 step. Please be sure to check your AI's that use bounding boxes, to see if you coded that way! This check is for step movement. Facing should only be blockable if frozen, paralyzed, or stamina affected (if server set to use stam).
Fixed	Exploit in Unpack() with Arrays and Dictionaries. If an element within the pack returns an error when unpacked, Unpack() halts and returns an error. Still ignores Uninit stuff as before. Same reasoning for fix as with Strings on 10-02. Dictionary will continue on and insert the error returns in key/value entries.

10-02	MuadDib
Fixed	Exploit in unpacking Strings with length definition. Affected manual building of packed versions such as in use by Aux connections etc. New error returns: "Unable to unpack string length. Invalid length!" = 0 or less Length "Unable to unpack string length. Bad format. Colon not found!" = Duh. "Unable to unpack string length. String length excessive." = Said it 3, but length was actually less. "Unable to unpack string length. String length short." = Said it was 3, but length was actually more.
Note	The following is acceptable in packed data sets. 's' = String data, no length defined. Ex: sHello World! 'S': String With Length defined. Ex: S12:Hello World! 'i': Integer follows. Ex: i12 'r': Double Integer format. Ex: r12.9 'u': Unitialized Object format. 'a': Array follows. Ex: a2:S12:Hello World!S12:Hello World. 'd': Dictionary. 't': Struct 'e': Escript Error 'x': Unitialized Object If you ever question the format for something packed, then just use the Pack() function on your data, to see the end result.

09-05	VeNdOr
Fixed	equipped items become invisible on realms different from britannia

09-04	VeNdOr
Added	auxconnection.ip -- returns remote ip of connection as string

08-20	Shinigami
Fixed	Bug in config/movecost.cfg - "Walking_Mounted" section was ignored

08-19	Shinigami
Fixed	Memory Leak in PacketHook functions

07-09	Shinigami
Added	added UO:KR login process
Added	player.isUOKR -- returns 1 if player uses an UO:KR client

06-17	Shinigami
Added	Entry to pol.cfg 'WorldDataPath' to set a different path to the data files. Defaults to 'data/'

05-04	Shinigami
Added	uo::GetRegionName( object ) - get name of [justice] region uo::GetRegionNameAtLocation( x, y, realm ) - get name of [justice] region

04-12	Austin
Added	Projectile support for NPC intrinsic weapons. Property keys are AttackProjectile, AttackProjectileAnim, AttackProjectileType and AttackProjectileSound

04-08	MuadDib
Fixed	Crash involving Realms() and passing non-string param or empty param to it.
Changed	Sending of worn items to inrange pcs has been optimized. Should help reduce load a little bit for fully dressed mobs and full packs. Maybe reduce server load during bashes? Would require testing of course to make that statement :)
Removed	CreateNPCFromTemplate() will now only accept Struct for override props. Arrays was removed due to core changes in array handling since this function was updated to use arrays.

04-04	MuadDib
Added	WornItms Container checks that look for and handle container class objects like Quivers, etc, will ignore the following layers for the obvious and specific reasons: 11 (hair), 15 (shhhh), 16 (beard), 21 (pack), 25 (mount)
Changed	WornItems container checks when looking for accessible items. If an item inside the WornItems container is a container itself, it will now check inside that. This affects for example, quivers added in the ML Expansion. Lets you make new equippable containers to hand layers, etc, and be usable fully for adding items into it and removing while equipped. This is in effect for layers 1-25 so be very carefull when creating these items!
Changed	WornItems container is now checked for legal containers when drag-n-drop attempts to drop an item onto the equipped container class object (quiver). THe above layer ignoring is in place here also.
Added	Projectile weapons will now check equipped containers for ammo if it cannot find any in the backpack first.
NOTE	I very strongly recommend making equip scripts and all for these items. Since it IS a container, you need to make sure the layer the client is putting it on, is the correct layer. So just have the equip script make sure the correct layer is empty on the character equipping this. Remember, these are CONTAINERS, not armor/weapons. The client will allow equipping only if the item is set as armor or weapon, and uses layers client side. Never trust the client, thus the need for an equipscript for containers when they can possibly be equipped.

03-28	Shinigami
Changed	Adjustment to increasing the revision state for Equipment loosing HPs while fighting.

01-15	MuadDib
Fixed	PrintTextAboveCL() now checks for object instead of mobile class being passed to it.
Changed	Default of uc_text in cliloc.em. Just smack me.

01-03	MuadDib
Added	Packets that are pre-character selection will now report a struct to a packethook with the member "ip". So far this is the only member in the struct. Future members might be added, but don't hold me to it. Account references at this time, cannot be added.

01-02	MuadDib
Added	Native handling of 2D and 3D "Allnames" macro that uses CTRL+SHIFT. Added due to the nature of client to spam a lot of these in crowded areas, which would cause server lag due to packet hooks to handle each request individually in critical mode per client using it.

12-27	MuadDib
Fixed	Server IP is now sent in correct order in the 0xA8 packet.

12-05	Shinigami
Fixed	fixed a Bug in Walking-on-Multi-Code. A Multi-Definition Door upstairs could block walking.

11-02	Austin
Changed	POL no longer requires the presence of the following files in pol/config/ in order to start up: combat.cfg, movecost.cfg, watch.cfg, armrzone.cfg, circles.cfg, spells.cfg npcdesc.cfg and pol/regions/resource.cfg

10-30	Austin
Fixed	Error in the internal webserver where it would sometimes only send the first part of a file.

10-25	Austin
Added	Entry to pol.cfg 'RealmDataPath' to set a different path to the data created by uoconvert. Defaults to 'realm/'

10-20	Austin
Fixed	array{array{}} was appending as a single array as a result of a 10-17 change.

10-17	Austin
Fixed	array += array will work properly now by merging the arrays. array += xxx will place 'xxx' at the ending index of the array.

09-28	Austin
Added	account.AddCharacter(index) * If Index is 0 (.AddCharacter(0)), it will find the next available slot on the account. (Otherwise pass 1-5) Will create a naked, uncolored, male character named "new character" at 1, 1, 1 on Britannia. Character setup will need to be done in the script that creates it. Does not start "scripts/misc/oncreate.ecl"

09-27	Austin
Added	File::FileExists( filename ) - returns 1 if a file exists, 0 if not.

09-26	Austin
Fixed	Bug in repsys hook where highlight and name color params were backwards for player-player.
Fixed	move_offline_mobiles method for boats.

09-23	Shinigami
Changed	Profiling counter Script_Cycle and Sleep_Cycle uses 64bit now

09-20	Austin
Changed	polsys::Realms() to polsys::Realms(realm:="") If a realm name is passed, it will provide a struct for that specific realm, otherwise will work as it did before.

09-17	MuadDib
Added	NPC::SayUC(). Same thing as Say(), cept unicode formatted.
Changed	NPC::Say() and SayUC() now check distances for different text types.
Note	DoEvent for SayUC() is currently disabled.

09-17	Shinigami
Changed	uo::SendEvent() and Script.sendevent() will return error "Event queue is full, discarding event"

09-16	Shinigami
Added	some Packet functions, same as original one, but with flipping Byte Order Packet.GetUnicodeStringFlipped(offset, length) Packet.SetUnicodeStringFlipped(offset, unicode character array, nullterminate)

09-15	Austin
Added	ENUMERATE_ROOT_ONLY for EnumerateItemsInContainer(container, flags) Will cause it to only list the contents in the container passed and not the contents of any sub-containers.

09-05	MuadDib
Added	UOConvert now adds "season 1" to the realm.cfg file for each realm during conversion. Season will default to 1, if no season entry is given (aka you was to lazy to run the newest uoconvert for your maps!). Seasons are listed as follows: 0 = Spring 1 = Summer 2 = Fall 3 = Winter 4 = Desolation (Felucca)
Added	Realms() will now also return .season for each realm.
Fixed	Core not sending season information correctly when logging in or changing realms if non-encrypted clients was set up in pol.cfg.

09-03	MuadDib
Added	character.shield member. Returns an ObjRef of shield equipped.

09-02	MuadDib
Added	Polsys::IncRevision(object). Used to increase the Revision number of an object (mobile or item). It then also runs a check for resending the tooltip data to client. This can be used in scripts when you change CProps or other items that normaly do not update the tooltips for custom tooltip hooks.
Changed	Internal handling of UO.EM Function execution. Should not affect scripts. As always, be sure to recompile your scripts when you upgrade to a new core release.

09-01	MuadDib
Fixed	Bug causing Pre-AOS status bars to freeze clients and/or generate core crashes.
Changed	Adjustments to increasing the revision state for stacks, items, and mobiles. Rule of thumb, if you change a member like newbie, title_race, and so on via script, this is not automatically updated. Names, amounts, and so on that are more critical ARE increased. This is pre to a an upcoming ability to increase via scripts and force tooltips to be resynced with the client for custom tooltip hooks to be fired.

08-31	MuadDib
Removed	All instances, calls, used and unused, code for the permitems.txt data file. This was never fully implemented, and as such, has been removed by decision of several developers.

08-26	Austin
Fixed	POL will check to make sure the corpse and backpack items are setup in an itemdesc.cfg when loading. If EnableSecureTrading is enabled in pol.cfg it will also check to make sure its container is setup.

08-25	MuadDib
Fixed	Padding involving stats.

08-22	Austin
Added	npc.alignment : 0 - Neutral, 1 - Evil, 2 - Good

08-19	Austin
Added	Three more hooks to repsys.cfg's HookList elem. OnAttack Run when a mobile attacks another. - Target with the TGTOPT_HARMFUL flag set. - Mobile goes into warmode and double clicks another. OnDamage Run when a mobile damages another. - ApplyDamage() or ApplyRawDamage() is used. OnHelp Run when a mobile helps another. - Target with TGTOPT_HELPFUL is used.

08-17

Austin

Added

repsys.cfg New elem called 'HookList' which will support syste hook scripts for the reputation system. Currently name (single click) and highlight (health bar) colors are hookable. Example: repsys.cfg HookList HookList { NameColor :repsys:hookScript:NameColor HighLightColor :repsys:hookScript:HighLightColor } :repsys:hookScript.src exported function NameColor(mobile, visible_to) return CInt(GetObjProperty(mobile, "NameColor")); endfunction exported function HighLightColor(mobile, visible_to) return CInt(GetObjProperty(mobile, "HighLightColor")); endfunction HighLightColor note: The client seems to only accept the following numbers 0 - None, 1 - Innocent, 2 - Friend, 3 - Attackable, 4 - Criminal, 5 - Enemy, 6 - Murderer, 7 - Invulnerable 8 - Unknown (blue gump, pure black mobile)

08-14	MuadDib
Added	uo.em command CancelTarget( of_whom). Can be used to kill an existing cursor if one exists, for a client.

08-12	Austin
Changed	pol.cfg IgnoreLoadErrors=1 (enabled) changes Instead of stopping the startup, the following will occur: * If an item belongs in a container or on a character and neither are present, the item will be destroyed. * If an item has an undefined objtype greater than 0x3FFF, it will not be loaded.

08-11	Austin
Added	Datafile::ListDataFiles() Returns an array of structs containing .pkg - name of the package the datafile belongs to .name - name of the file .descriptor - :pkg:name

07-24	MuadDib
Changed	Handling of non-aos expansion accounts and status bars.

07-20	Austin
Fixed	Spelling mistake for the method setcriminal
Fixed	Guilds were not saving data.
Changed	NPCs with the template set to 'Good' for alignment will now change highlight color if set to murderer or criminal.

06-29	Austin
Added	Operator support for += -= *= /= and %= i += 5; would be the same as i := i+5;

06-23	Austin
Added	PolSys::ListTextCommands() - Returns a dict of a dict of structs. Dict 1 - Package names Dict 2 - Command levels Struct - .dir .script Example: foreach package in ( commands ) Print("Pkg:"+_package_iter); foreach level in ( package ) Print(" CmdLvl:"+_level_iter); foreach command in ( level ) Print(" "+command); SleepMS(2); endforeach SleepMS(2); endforeach SleepMS(2); endforeach

06-22	Austin

Added	Cliloc::PrintTextAboveCL() and PrintTextAbovePrivate().
Added	Support for Talisman layer (layer 9) in core definitions.
Hint	Quivers (added in ML) share layer 20 with cloaks. You can however on Origin equip cloaks AND quivers. Ewwww.

06-20	MuadDib
Added	Cliloc.em added to the list of new EM Modules. Included in this is already the command SendSysMessageCL(). The new EM will have the commands commented for instruction of use. If you know about clilocs, you know they can be a pain and have additional arguments. Sending normal clilocs and ones with arguments are both supported in the single commands. Argument flag defaults to 0 in the EM for this.

06-20	Austin
Changed	Moved guild functions to guilds.em

06-18	Austin
Changed	Moved storage area functions to storage.em
Changed	Moved vital functions, ApplyDamage, ApplyRawDamage and HealDamage from uo.em to vitals.em

06-17	Austin
Changed	Updated handling of object properties and methods. Should provide a slight speed increase.
Changed	Moved attribute functions from uo.em to a new attributes.em module.

06-16	MuadDib
Changed	AddMenuItem() now has a color option. Default is 0.
Hint	menus.cfg uses the color of the itemdesc entry of the objtype given, to get color. So if an item has no itemdesc entry, it defaults to 0.

06-16	Austin
Removed	Skills.cfg is no longer used. Instead skill IDs will be read from uoskills.cfg and redirected to attributes.cfg. The attributes.cfg file now has support for the old entries. skills.cfg entries supported now in attributes.cfg are: DELAY, UNHIDES and SCRIPT

06-15	Austin
Added	mobile.Privileges() - Returns a dictionary. The key is the privilege name. The value 0/1 is if it is enabled or not.

06-14	MuadDib
Added	AOS style status bar is now generated correctly for AOS+ clients that ALSO have the UOExpansion set to AOS or higher. Only thing populated by core is the statcap entry. Rest can be done via packethooks.
Added	UOClient.cfg entry "StatCap" in General. This is used with AOS era status bars to send the statcap in the packet. Default is 225. Can use packethooks to override this outgoing to client.

06-14	Austin
Changed	All log files (pol.log, debug.log, start.log, etc.) will now be placed in pol/log/

06-13	Austin
Changed	Config files in packages can now be in pkgname/config/cfgfile.cfg. If it is not present there, it will look in the package root (pkgname/cfgfile.cfg) pkg.cfg must still be at the root of the package.

06-13	MuadDib
Changed	Handling of target request returns in core. Returns errors more efficiently when client already has an active target cursor.

Added	UO::CloseTradeWindow(mobile) - Will close the trade window for the mobile and the person it is trading with.

06-11	Austin
Added	mobile.trading_with - Returns a mobile reference if a secure trade is taking place.
Added	Util::StrFormatTime(format_string, time_stamp). Takes in the StrFTime() specifiers for the format string. (http://www.cppreference.com/stddate/strftime.html) If time_stamp is 0, it will use POLCore().systime.

06-11	MuadDib
Changed	When a client already has a target cursor request, instead of core just returning that to the new requesting call, now returns an error code back to the calling cursor script.

06-10	MuadDib
Cleanup	Removed last of stat advancement code. While this was depreciated several versions ago, please remember stat advancement must be done via the scripts.

06-09	MuadDib
