* Adds `BeforeSerialized` for entities to handle cleanup.
* Adds `Created` and `LastSerialized` fields to all entities. While this is a big bloat, this will be necessary for identifying dangling references to other invalid entities.
* Changes formula for determining a valid reference to be _not null, not deleted, and reference's created date must be at or before the entities last serialized date_.
* Adds versioning to idx file and serializes `Created` and `LastSerialized`.
* Fixes Save Stats and also disables it by default.
* Fixes tooltip for container furniture so it works. This doesn't work on ClassicUO.
* Fixes double click opening container furniture by double clicking the addon component.
* Fixes the context menu not showing up sometimes on the addon piece.
Note: You cannot drop anything into the addon component since it might be far away and it is not a real container. There is no easy fix for this without building an entire custom container class for addons or changing how items drag/drop entirely. Requires closing/opening container gumps as it switches from one component to another that shares the same content. Also requires sharing tooltips, invalidated properties, process delta changes, etc.
Not worth the effort.

* Adds `RaceFlag` to the `Race` object. This is `1 << RaceIndex`
* Replaces `RequiredRace` with `RequiredRaces` for items.
* Adds convenience flags for `RequiredRaces`
```cs
public const int AllowAllRaces = 0x7; // Race.Human.RaceFlag | Race.Elf.RaceFlag | Race.Gargoyle.RaceFlag
public const int AllowHumanOrElves = 0x3; // Race.Human.RaceFlag | Race.Elf.RaceFlag
public const int AllowElvesOnly = 0x2; // Race.Elf.RaceFlag
public const int AllowGargoylesOnly = 0x4; // Race.Gargoyle.RaceFlag
```
* Example usage on an item:
```cs
public override int RequiredRaces => Race.AllowHumanOrElves;
```
* Adds Wood and Stone armor material types
* Updates Woodland armor to Wood
* Adds proper messaging for race restrictions
* Adds gargoyle only for object properties
* Adds `CheckRace` functions for validating if a race or mobile can use the item:
```cs
bool CheckRace(Race race);
bool CheckRace(Mobile from, bool message = true);
```
* Removes BodyValue
* Removes BodyPicker gump
* Fixes setting Body and BodyMod in props gump
* Props will now look for an `implicit cast` in order to find a way to allow you to modify values with the props gump.
* Fixed `[self set body 0x190` so it works too.
### Changes/Fixes:
* Adds timer pooling.
* Allows pool to be configurable in ModernUO.json
* Pool replenishes itself asynchronously if depleted.
* Fixes an issue with barkeeps and town criers
* Fixes an issue with incognito buff icons not being removed
* Fixes an issue with polymorph name mod not being removed
* Fixes several places where timers go on forever even after an object is deleted, keeping a reference (memory leak)
* Eliminates the timer for MiningCart altogether.
* Deletes `AcidSlime` since it is a duplicate of `PoolOfAcid`
* Fixes HonorableExecution and standardizes the code for other Bushido moves.
## 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);`.
- Adds `[ManualDirtyChecking]` for anyone that adds it themselves.
- Adds detection of `[Serializable]` and `[ManualDirtyChecking]` at startup to help identify scripts that need migration.
### Additions
- Automatically opts-out `Item/Mobile/Guild/Accounts` from dirty checking with a new property `UseDirtyChecking`
- Codegen now enables `UseDirtyChecking` via getter. This requires that the property is `virtual` for derived types.
### Fixes
- Fixes `EncodedInt` being broken
- Fixes issues with new custom serializable types that are not derived from Item/Mobile/etc.
- Removes double dirty checking.
### Example of a brand new serializable type that isn't an Item/Mobile/etc.
User created code:
```cs
using System;
namespace Server.Items
{
[Serializable(0)]
public partial class NewTestEntityObject : ISerializable
{
[EncodedInt]
[SerializableField(0)]
private int _someProperty;
public NewTestEntityObject()
{
SetTypeRef(GetType());
// Add to serial tracking like World.Item
/*
Serial = World.NewEntity;
World.AddEntity(this);
*/
}
[AfterDeserialization]
private void AfterDeserialization()
{
Console.WriteLine("This ran!");
}
public int TypeRef { get; }
public Serial Serial { get; }
public void Delete()
{
}
public bool Deleted { get; set; }
public void SetTypeRef(Type type)
{
// Type tracking for persistence goes here
/*
TypeRef = World.NewEntityTypes.IndexOf(type);
if (TypeRef == -1)
{
World.NewEntityTypes.Add(type);
TypeRef = World.NewEntityTypes.Count - 1;
}
*/
}
}
}
```
Generated code:
```cs
namespace Server.Items
{
public partial class NewTestEntityObject
{
#pragma warning disable 0414
private const int _version = 0;
#pragma warning restore 0414
public int SomeProperty
{
get => _someProperty;
set
{
if (value != _someProperty)
{
_someProperty = value;
((ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
}
}
}
long ISerializable.SavePosition { get; set; } = -1;
BufferWriter ISerializable.SaveBuffer { get; set; }
bool ISerializable.UseDirtyChecking => true;
public NewTestEntityObject(Serial serial)
{
Serial = serial;
SetTypeRef(typeof(NewTestEntityObject));
}
public void Serialize(IGenericWriter writer)
{
writer.WriteEncodedInt(_version);
writer.WriteEncodedInt(SomeProperty);
}
public void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
SomeProperty = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
Timer.DelayCall(AfterDeserialization);
}
}
}
```
### Features
* Fully abstracts serialization by using compile-time attributes.
* Supports serializing the following:
- Primitives (integers, strings, etc)
- IP Addresses
- BigDecimal
- DateTime, Delta DateTimes
- TimeSpan
- Server.Race
- Server.Map
- Point2D, Point3D, Rect2D, Rect3D
- Existing/New `ISerializable` references
- Lists/Sets of serializable types
- Type with a `Serialize` method and constructor that takes an `IGenericReader`
* Supports forward-only migration
* Supports existing RunUO deserialization for older versions by changing to the following signature:
- `public void OldDeserialize(IGenericReader reader, int version)`
- Must remove deserializing the version since this is already done
* Supports serializing from private fields or custom made properties.
* Types do not require inheriting Item/Mobile. Code gen will fully create `ISerializable` information.
- This is not recommended yet, since it requires wiring to `Persistence` which will cause lots of unresolved symbol errors until code gen is built.
### Example
```cs
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace Server.Items
{
[Serializable(1)]
public partial class TestItem1 : Item
{
[SerializableField(1)]
[SerializableFieldAttr("[CommandProperty(AccessLevel.Administrator)]")]
private List<Item> _someProperty;
private void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader, int version)
{
}
}
}
```
Generates this:
```cs
namespace Server.Items
{
public partial class TestItem1
{
#pragma warning disable 0414
private const int _version = 1;
#pragma warning restore 0414
[CommandProperty(AccessLevel.Administrator)]
public System.Collections.Generic.List<Server.Item> SomeProperty
{
get => _someProperty;
set
{
if (value != _someProperty)
{
((ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
_someProperty = value;
}
}
}
public TestItem1(Serial serial) : base(serial)
{
}
public override void Serialize(IGenericWriter writer)
{
var savePosition = ((Server.ISerializable)this).SavePosition;
if (savePosition > -1)
{
writer.Seek(savePosition, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
return;
}
writer.WriteEncodedInt(_version);
writer.Write(_someProperty);
}
public override void Deserialize(IGenericReader reader)
{
var version = reader.ReadEncodedInt();
if (version < 1)
{
OldDeserialize(reader, version);
((Server.ISerializable)this).MarkDirty();
return;
}
SomeProperty = reader.ReadEntityList<Server.Item>();
}
}
}
```
And this:
```json
{
"version": 1,
"type": "TestItem1",
"properties": [
{
"name": "SomeProperty",
"type": "System.Collections.Generic.List\u003CServer.Item\u003E",
"rule": "ListMigrationRule",
"ruleArguments": [
"Server.Item",
"SerializableInterfaceMigrationRule"
]
}
]
}

Users can now utilize `Timer.Pause()` since the code will be executed on the proper thread.
```cs
public void async void Talk()
{
_canTalk = false;
await Timer.Pause(Utility.RandomMinMax(5000, 8000)); // Talk after 5-8 seconds
