### Summary
- Fixes usernames not being `Intern`ed
- Reverts methods related to getting accounts from returning `Account` to `IAccount`.
- Makes `IAccount` also `ISerializable`
- Adds `IGenericReader.ReadAccount()` and `IGenericWriter.Write(IAccount)` -> The read method supports the original serialization of username, and using `IAccount.Serial`. The write method only serializes the `Serial`.
- Exposes `ReadStringRaw()` to allow some advanced scenarios.
## Breaking Changes
Incoming packet registration signature has changed to:
```cs
delegate* void OnReceiveCallback(NetState state, SpanReader reader, int packetLength);
IncomingPackets.Register(int packetID, int length, bool ingame, OnReceiveCallback onReceive);
```
For example, an incoming packet handler signature would now look like this:
```cs
public static void SomeIncomingPacket(NetState state, SpanReader reader, int packetLength)
{
// Parse the data
}
```
## Summary
Updates the network Pipe class to use a mirrored memory technique. This technique involves mapping the same physical memory to two contiguous virtual memory spaces so the byte buffer appears duplicated. This allows writing to a double-sized array to wrap around without the need for the `CircularBuffer` classes.
In practice this allows us to use `Span<byte>` as if the buffer was a regular array.
### Bug Fixes

### Summary
- [X] Fixed a bug where entity persistence was serialized out of order, causing world corruption.
- [X] Fixed LastSerialized not being utilized properly and dangling references still becoming an issue.

## Overhaul to Stamina (Overweight) System
### Added configurations
```json
{
"settings": {
"stamina.enableMountStamina": "True",
"stamina.cannotMoveWhenFatigued": "True",
"stamina.stonesPerOverweightLoss": "25",
"stamina.stonesOverweightAllowance": "4",
"stamina.baseOverweightLoss": "5",
"stamina.additionalLossWhenBelow": "0.1",
"stamina.mountLastMoveStepsReset": "01:00:00:00",
"stamina.enableMountStamina": "True",
"stamina.useMountStaminaOnlyWhenOverloaded": "False",
},
}
```
- `stamina.cannotMoveWhenFatigued` - By default, Pre-AOS expansions will outright block a player if they are fatigued. A player is fatigued when they run out of stamina by any mechanism.
- `stamina.stonesPerOverweightLoss` - The amount of stamina lost for every X stones above overweight. Example, if a person is overweight 28 stones overweight, then there there is 1 additional stamina. 28 / 25 = 1 (no decimals, no rounding)
- `stamina.stonesOverweightAllowance` - The number of stones allowed before overweight penalties take affect. This _does not_ substract from the overweight stones calculation.
- `stamina.baseOverweightLoss` - The base amount of stamina loss for being overweight. While running, the final amount is multiplied by 2. If mount stamina is turned off, then the final amount is divided by 3 while mounted.
### Mount stamina
Mounts have a new property `StepsMax` to determine the maximum steps they can take before being fatigued. To regain steps, the player _must stay on the mount and not move_ (per OSI). The gain rates are configurable. If a mount is dismounted, or the player logs off, the mount is considered inactive and mounts regain all of their steps after _24 hours_.
### Changes to player stamina
Players now have a proper inactivity time reset for their steps. If a player is idle for 16 seconds (including logging off, or the server being offline), then the steps counter is rest.
### Developer Notes
- `StepsTaken` - This field has been removed. It was not serialized and could not be used reliably. If a developer was using it, then the recommendation is to build a mechanism to track total steps another way.
- `IHasStamina` - This new interface was added and currently `IMount` and `PlayerMobile` are valid types.
Important: Entities that are sent to the StaminaSystem for tracking (mounts, players, or something else), must be an `ISerializable` to be serialized properly. If they are not, then the serialization system will record a null, and nothing will be deserialized upon world load. No errors will be given.
## MAJOR CHANGE
Added a champion title system to facilitate the existing champion titles. This should make it easier to extend or create other related game content. Champion titles will be saved in a folder called _ChampionTitles_.
### Motivation
The motivation to refactor was two-folder, but mostly related to performance in two ways.
First, every player had a ChampionTitleInfo object with an array of ChamptionTitleInfo. We want to eliminate the need for this information unless a player actually uses it. This should save a considerable amount of memory.
Second, to facilitate the atrophy mechanic, the champion titles would run atrophy post-world save, adding to the time that the server is frozen. Eliminating this post-world save side effect unlocks our ability to further optimize the world save process since there are no direct side effects.
### Bugs fixed
- [X] Fixed titles getting cut off on the paperdoll
- [X] Fixed champion title not displaying overhead (OPL)

## MAJOR CHANGE (API BREAKING)
Moved the virtues to it's own system _VirtueSystem_. This should make it easier to extend or remove the virtue system. Virtues will be saved to a new folder called _Virtues_.
### Motivation
The motivation was also two-fold, performance/stability, and to fix bugs.
First, virtues is the second system (first is murders), that has a pre-world-save check on _every mobile in the game_ to atrophy virtue stats. This is taxing since it freexes the world and makes world saves take longer. Every mobile had Gain/Loss dates for each virtue, whether they needed them or not. Most players don't even use the virtue system, so this will increase performance considerably.
Second, when I tried to optimize/refactor the code, I found several bugs that needed to be fixed.
### Major API Changes
- [X] The properties on players related to virtues are gone. Use `pm.GetVirtues()?.<PropertyName>` instead.
- [X] Virtues were removed from non-player Mobiles.
- [X] `pm.JusticeProtectors` was removed. Use `JusticeVirtue.GetProtector()` or `JusticeVirtue.GetProtected()` instead.

## MAJOR CHANGE (API BREAKING)
Added a player murder system to facilitate reporting murders. This should make it easier to extend to create a bounty system or other related game content. Player murders will be saved in a folder called _PlayerMurders_.
### Motivation
The motivation was two-fold, performance, and bug fixes.
First, murders are one of two systems that do a pre-world-save check on _every mobile in the game_ to decay kills and set their expiring murders. This is taxing since it freezes the world and makes world saves take longer. Every mobile has ShortTermMurders even though it is a player concept. And next, 90%+ of players are not murderers but had an ever increasing MurderElapse time that was being tracked against GameTime. These properties were also serialized unnecessarily for all mobs.
Second, when I tried to optimize/refactor the code, it was obvious that the system has bugs.
### Major API Changes
- [X] Created a player murder system and moved `ShortTermMurders`, `ShortTermElapse`, and `LongTermElapse` to the system.
- [X] Added convenience property `PlayerMobile.ShortTermMurders`.
- [X] Added convenience properties `PlayerMobile.ShortTermMurderExpiration` and `PlayerMobile.LongTermMurderExpiration`
- [X] Moved ReportMurdererGump.cs
- [X] Adds an `EventSink.PlayerDeleted` event.
### Notes
The system currently does not support NPCs. To support expiring murders on NPCs I highly recommend a different architecture for large servers (500k+ mobs including players). Specifically switching from looping through all MurderContext to a time-order link list.
### Summary
- [X] Moves AntiMacro to it's own system.
- [X] Removes antimacro from PlayerMobile.
- [X] Adds `LastExpiration` to antimacro to easily clear out all antimacro tracking when a player logs out, or during world save.
- [X] Optimizes the code somewhat.
