CHANGELOG.md

Hybrasyl Server Changelog

This is the changelog for the server project. Releases that have names generally add fairly significant features, whereas ones without are primarily for bugfixing and other updates.

Hybrasyl Server 0.5.2 ("Dar")

Released: June 6, 2016 - View this release on GitHub

Features

• Implement usage support for items. Items now respect their XML definitions for usage. For instance:

<item>
<use consumed="true">
<teleport x="3" y="3">Test Village</teleport>
<playereffect mp="50" hp="50" xp="50" gold="50"/>
<effect id="3" speed="1"/>
<soundeffect id="6"/>
<scriptname>mycoolitem.py</scriptname>
...
</item>

Any of these use cases can be combined with one another, opening up a lot of possibilities for item scripting.

• General concept of healing (increasing player/creature HP) implemented.
• Python API scripting now supports damage/healing/etc.
• Legend marks implemented, along with Python scripting API that can be used by in-game scripts to manage marks.
• Example NPC script added, to help users who wish to learn more about the Python scripting API. Documentation is coming - we promise.

Bugfixes

• Item quantities are now appropriately displayed in the exchange window.
• Level and experience overflows corrected, maximum level is now set as a compile-time constant (Constants.MAX_LEVEL) and defaults to 99.
• Item bonuses (AC, magic resistance, etc) are now correctly recalculated at login (thanks to @woghks123 for reporting this issue).
• README updated.

Hybrasyl Server 0.5.1

Released: May 30, 2016 - View this release on GitHub

Features

• Sample XML data updated.
• Documentation updates.
• Added support for server (Aisling) time.

Bugfixes

• Bug fixed where the server would write out incorrect XML, causing the login/world port to be the same.

Hybrasyl Server 0.5.0 ("Riona")

Released: May 23, 2016 - View this release on GitHub

Features

• Redis is now a requirement, and is used for storing state data such as users, board posts, and mailboxes.
• All world data is now read in from XML files. A new integration library (called, appropriately, SDK) has been created to manage the parsing, validation and writing of XML files.
• As a result of the above, the server no longer uses MySQL, and all references / dependencies for it have been removed.
• Thanks to Michael Norris (@norrismiv), we now have a new launcher, which displays news and should support a lot of new features in the future.
• Several item, item display and exchange bugs fixed.
• Experience implemented in a real way (with leveling support).
• Nation support (citizenship) implemented, along with logging in to expected spawn locations (national spawnpoints).
• Character info panel now functions as expected.
• Mailbox / forums fully implemented.
• Grouping support implemented.
• Unique / unique equip item flags, negative weight, master restrictions implemented.
• Networking stack completely reimplemented using async sockets with separate send/receive threads.
• Beginning of skill/spell implementation - /skill will give your character a skill. Still a lot to be done here.
• Assail / spacebar support for assail implemented.
• The beginning of spawning support has been implemented. Unfortunately, at the moment, this simply means that wolves and bees have infested Mileth.

Bugfixes

• Poor, long-suffering Riona in Mileth, critically wounded in a prior release, will now respond to Aislings again.
