Follow-up to #2573. That change made `SmallBOD.EndCombine` require a player-crafted item, but it could only read provenance off `BaseArmor`, `BaseWeapon` and `BaseClothing`, because those are the only three classes that track it — hence the hand-enumerated `armor?.PlayerConstructed ?? clothing?.PlayerConstructed ?? weapon?.PlayerConstructed ?? false`.
The gap is structural rather than cosmetic. `PlayerConstructed` is set inside each base's `OnCraft`, so it can only ever reach types implementing `ICraftable`. Most craftables do not — the tinkering catalogue alone is largely plain `Item` subclasses — so any rule keyed on "was this actually crafted" has nothing to key on for those types.
## What changed
Provenance moves to `Item` and is stamped centrally in `CraftItem`, immediately after the item is constructed and before the `ICraftable` dispatch, covering both the AOS and T2A craft paths. The three `OnCraft` overrides drop their now-redundant assignment and inherit `Item`'s property, so no call site outside them changes — `Resmelt` and `SalvageBag` still read `armor.PlayerConstructed` and still compile unchanged. `SmallBOD`'s three-way null-coalescing chain collapses to `item.PlayerConstructed`.
`OnCraft` is only ever invoked from `CraftItem` (the other three call sites are `base.OnCraft` chaining), so removing those assignments has no other reachable effect.
## Storage cost: none
`Item`'s `SaveFlag` word is written as a fixed-width `int`, not an encoded one, so occupying bit `0x08000000` changes no record lengths. Items that are not player-constructed serialize byte for byte as before, and crafted ones differ by a single bit in a field already being written.
`Item` itself needs no version bump: a bare `SaveFlag` bit is self-describing, so records written before it existed lack it and read `false`.
## Version bumps
The three content classes do need one, since removing a serialized field changes their layout:
| Class | Version | Field removed |
|---|---|---|
| `BaseArmor` | 9 → 10 | 24 (was last, nothing renumbered) |
| `BaseClothing` | 7 → 8 | 7 (fields 8–10 shift down) |
| `BaseWeapon` | 10 → 11 | 26 (fields 27–30 shift down) |
Each gets a `MigrateFrom` for its previous version that assigns the old bool to the inherited property, so existing crafted armour, weapons and clothing keep their provenance across the upgrade. `Item.Deserialize` runs first and reads the absent bit as `false`, then the migration overwrites it — the generated `Deserialize` calls `base.Deserialize` before dispatching, so the ordering holds. `BaseWeapon` had no migrations file and gains one.
The renumbering is not stylistic: the generator requires contiguous field ordering and rejects a hole with `SG3005: Expected field 'Crafter' with order 7 but found 8`.
New schema JSONs (`BaseArmor.v10`, `BaseClothing.v8`, `BaseWeapon.v11`) are generated by `ModernUOSchemaGenerator` and committed alongside.
## One thing worth a second opinion
The new property is a plain auto-property on `Item`, so it does not call `this.MarkDirty()` the way the codegen setters it replaces did. `MarkDirty` is currently a no-op (`// TODO: Add dirty tracking back`) and no property in `Item.cs` calls it, so this matches the file as it stands — but it is worth noting if dirty tracking comes back.
## Verification
Full solution builds in Release with 0 errors and 0 warnings; 1516 tests pass (815 `Server.Tests`, 701 `UOContent.Tests`).
## Summary
Adds authentic **T2A-era (pre-UO:Third-Dawn) packet-based crafting menus**, enabled via the **`t2aCraftMenus` server setting** (read once at startup; default **`!Core.UOTD`**, so a pre-UO:TD shard gets them automatically). When enabled, double-clicking a crafting tool opens the classic `0x7C`/`0x7D` item-list menu — skill- and material-filtered — instead of the modern gump, covering all 8 tool/skill crafts (blacksmithy, tailoring, tinkering, carpentry, alchemy, bowcraft/fletching, inscription, cartography). It is **not** a runtime/admin-flippable feature flag.
This is the **definitive, reconciled** branch and **supersedes**:
- **#2181** (Delphi — `T2A_CraftingMenus`): the original effort.
- **#2381** (Jack/UOLL — `t2a_crafting_menus`): the research-grounded superset (Delphi's base + 12 corrections), rebased onto current `main`.
Original authorship is preserved across the cherry-picked history: foundation commit **@Delphi79**, mechanic fixes **@jackuoll (Jack Ward)**, reconciliation/fixes/docs mine.
## How it was built
1. Cherry-picked Jack's 13 commits onto current `main` (superset of Delphi's; only 2 trivial FeatureFlags conflicts).
2. Applied targeted fixes (below) with tests.
3. Full convention audit, build, and test pass.
Grounded in independent historical research plus Jack's deep dive. Maintainer reference: `dev-docs/t2a-crafting.md`.
## Mechanics (highlights)
- Double-click tool → target resource → skill/material-filtered menu → craft. Resource pre-selection per skill; make-last by targeting the tool.
- **Stacked-gem jewelry:** target a gem stack → the **full stack** is consumed and the piece is named by count ("a 1000 diamond ring"); count persists (`BaseJewel` serialization **v4 → v5**, new `_gemCount`).
- **Tool-less inscription & cartography** (skill-list invoked; no pen/sextant); inscription consumes reagents+scroll on success and failure, mana only on success.
- **Tailoring matching-hue consumption:** targeting hued cloth/leather consumes only that hue. Crafted items take color from their **`CraftResource`** (not the dyed hue), so dyed leather/cloth don't tint the product; in T2A only colored ingots/ore color items (metal armor/shields).
- **Half-resources on failed non-scroll crafts** (pre-UO:TD).
- **Maker's mark** always prompted for exceptional items, via the shared `QueryMakersMarkGump`.
- Server-side menu infra changes are additive (`ItemListEntry.CraftIndex`, `Entries` setter, `HasSent`).
## Notable changes on top of the cherry-pick
- **Toggle is a startup server setting, not a feature flag.** Removed `ContentFeatureFlags.T2ACraftMenus` (and its admin-flippable plumbing); the value is read once via `ServerConfiguration.GetSetting("t2aCraftMenus", !Core.UOTD)` into `T2ACraftSystem.Enabled`. Since the default tracks the era and it can't be flipped at runtime, there's no incoherent "menus-on / UO:TD-era" state.
- **Stacked-gem consumption (B3a/B3):** consume the full `PendingGemCount` (was deliberately consuming 1 while naming by the stack), null-safe gem type, plain-piece fallback + message. New `T2AJewelGemCraftTests`.
- **Convention audit:** `new List<Item>()` → `PooledRefList<Item>` on the hue-aware consume path; removed dead code.
## Decisions & deviations
- `make-last` kept as **QoL** (post-T2A gump-era feature).
- `half-on-failure` (non-scroll) kept as a **reconstruction** (not OSI-confirmed).
- **Stacked-gem** behavior set per shard authority (overrides the "single gem" reconstruction).
- **Cooking** out of scope (no T2A crafting menu existed for it).
- **No colored items from dyed materials:** crafted color comes from the `CraftResource` type. Pre-AOS leather has no colored variant, so leather is always uncolored; weapons retain resource color only in AOS+ (unchanged, intended).
## Test plan
- Automated: `dotnet build ModernUO.slnx -c Debug` clean; `dotnet test Projects/UOContent.Tests` → **421 passed** (incl. 3 new jewelry tests).
- Manual (needs a running T2A shard + client):
- [ ] Each of the 8 skills opens the correct menu; empty-menu guard fires.
- [ ] Make-last repeats the last craft (jewelry re-prompts gem).
- [ ] Jewelry consumes the full targeted gem stack and names by count.
- [ ] Cartography consumes blank maps only with T2A enabled / maps+scrolls when disabled.
- [ ] Tailoring consumes only the targeted-hue material; crafted items are not tinted by dyed cloth/leather.
- [ ] Maker's-mark prompt on exceptional.
- [ ] Failed non-scroll craft consumes half resources.
- [ ] Inscription: reagents+scroll on success/failure, mana only on success.
- [ ] T2A disabled: gump crafting unchanged.

### Summary
* Refactors getting static/multi tiles to not use allocations.
* `TileList` is now only used during bootstrapping and uses rented buffers to eliminate extra allocations.
* Replaces `StaticTile[] GetStaticTiles` with:
```cs
Map.StaticTileEnumerable GetStaticTiles(int x, int y);
Map.StaticTileEnumerable GetStaticAndMultiTiles(int x, int y);
Map.StaticTileEnumerable GetMultiTiles(int x, int y);
```
* Removes `Synchronized` and `lock` from TileMatrix. It is no longer considered a multi-thread safe system.
### Summary
Eliminates `IPooledEnumerable<T>` and `eable.Free()` from `Map` for items. This drastically simplifies code that iterates in range, for example:
```cs
foreach (var item in m.GetItemsInRange(5))
{
}
```
The code above no longer requires an eable and calling `Free()`.
### Summary
Container enumeration is in dire need of optimization. Thanks to @stefanomerotta for initiating this work with PR #1443. This PR handles a small part of what Stefan started. Also included are some bug fixes.
### Method Signatures
```cs
// Use with foreach without moving/deleting items
FindItemsByTypeEnumerator<T> FindItemsByType<T>(bool recurse = true, Predicate<T> predicate = null)
// Use with foreach when moving/deleting items
QueuedItemsEnumerator<T> EnumerateItemsByType<T>(bool recurse = true, Predicate<T> predicate = null)
// Use when iterating multiple times or queuing
PooledRefQueue<T> QueueItemsByType<T>(bool recurse = true, Predicate<T> predicate = null)
// Use when iterating multiples times or manipulating elements without traversing
PooledRefList<T> ListItemsByType<T>(bool recurse = true, Predicate<T> predicate = null)
```
* `FindItemsByType<T>` has changed from returning `List<T>` to `FindItemsByTypeEnumerator<T>` - This method is not safe to use in situations where an item may get consumed, deleted, or moved.
* `EnumerateItemsByType<T>` was added as a safe way to iterate and manipulate items.
* **Note**: EnumerateItemsByType will _completely traverse the container_ before iteration starts because it uses `QueueItemsByType` under the hood.
* `QueueItemsByType<T>` and `ListItemsByType<T>` was added to return a queue or list of items to iterate multiple times and manipulate the items. This isn't the most efficient since it uses a predicate and can result in 2 or 3 total iterations unnecessarily.

## Changes to the Timer API:
```cs
public class Timer
{
// Creates a timer that will be returned to the pool once execution stops.
public static void StartTimer(Action callback);
public static void StartTimer(TimeSpan delay, Action callback);
public static void StartTimer(TimeSpan delay, TimeSpan interval, Action callback);
public static void StartTimer(TimeSpan interval, int count, Action callback);
public static void StartTimer(TimeSpan delay, TimeSpan interval, int count, Action callback);
// Creates a timer and returns a token for more control. Requires manual cancellation in order for the timer to be returned to the pool.
// If the token is dereferenced, the timer will be dereferenced too. While not returning a timer to the pool is not considered hazardous, it does defeat the purpose of pooled timers.
public static void StartTimer(Action callback, out TimerExecutionToken token);
public static void StartTimer(TimeSpan delay, Action callback, out TimerExecutionToken token);
public static void StartTimer(TimeSpan delay, TimeSpan interval, Action callback, out TimerExecutionToken token);
public static void StartTimer(TimeSpan interval, int count, Action callback, out TimerExecutionToken token);
public static void StartTimer(TimeSpan delay, TimeSpan interval, int count, Action callback, out TimerExecutionToken token);
// If you aren't sure how to use the API above, or you don't care about performance, then you can use the old RunUO Timer.DelayCall
public static DelayCallTimer DelayCall(Action callback);
public static DelayCallTimer DelayCall(TimeSpan delay, Action callback);
public static DelayCallTimer DelayCall(TimeSpan delay, TimeSpan interval, Action callback);
public static DelayCallTimer DelayCall(TimeSpan interval, int count, Action callback);
public static DelayCallTimer DelayCall(TimeSpan delay, TimeSpan interval, int count, Action callback);
}
public struct TimerExecutionToken
{
public bool Running { get; }
public int Index { get; }
public int RemainingCount { get; }
public DateTime Next { get; }
}
```
## When to use `TimerExecutionToken`?
Use tokens when you want to gain the performance benefit of using a pooled timer, but you need one of the following:
* Access to the next time the timer will tick:`token.Next`
* Access to which interval, how many intervals there are, or how many are remaining: `token.Index`, `token.Count`, and `token.RemainingCount`
* Stop a timer manually.
* Determine if the timer is running: `timer.Running`
* See notes below about requirements for using tokens!
## Notes about using the TimerExecutionToken:
When you opt-in to receive a token, you must call `Cancel()` to return the timer. This can be done inside of the callback, or outside of the callback at any time.
If this is not called and your timer is an infinite interval, then you will create a potential memory leak, or null pointer exception in your callback.
If the timer ends and is stopped, but cancel is not called, then the timer will never return to the pool and stay referenced until the token is deleted or cancel is called. (Memory leak)
## Is this thread safe?
No. The ModernUO timer system is not thread safe at all. If you require a thread safe timer system, contact me and I'll help adapt this system. Keep in mind that there is a massive performance hit to make this thread safe when there are literally no use cases for it.
If you need to synchronize execution, meaning you want to execute code from another thread on the core thread. Let's say you have a discord bot that is pushing commands to the game server. Then use `EventLoopContext.Post(SendOrPostCallback callback, object state);`.
