- [X] Fixes map issues at New Haven by turning off static diffs
- [X] Some code cleanup and reformatting of tile matrix, tile matrix patch, and tile data
- [X] Adds NetState.Flush for generating spawners so it doesn't feel like the server is frozen
- [X] Reverts NativeReader changes from a while back.
- [X] Adds more string reading for BufferReader.
Notes:
BufferReader is still `little endian` compared to `SpanReader` which is `big endian` (for packets). To that end, the RunUO deserialization `ReadString()` was made obsolete since it is ambiguous, and contains extra fields other than simply reading a string. Furthermore, we shouldn't be using UTF8 (for now) since it is slow.
- [X] Adds `ToSpan()` for SpanWriter.
- [X] Moves house files to UOContent/Multis/Houses
- [X] Adds house packets
### SpanWriter.ToSpan()
`ToSpan()` returns an `SpanOwner` struct which allows access to the buffer as a Span by calling `Span`.
Example:
```cs
public SpanOwner CreatePacket()
{
var writer = new SpanWriter(0x400);
// write some stuff
return writer.ToSpan();
}
```
In this example, we are creating a packet and returning the `SpanOwner` for caching. This means in the future we can do something like this:
```cs
ns.Send(_cachedPacket.Span);
```
Where `_cachedPacket` is the `SpanOwner`
Notes:
Do not use a SpanWriter, or attempt to dispose of it after calling `ToSpan()`. Doing so will probably cause an NPE.
- [X] Cleans up gump packets
- [X] Adds event loop task synchronization
- [X] Moves timer pause and cleans up the delay task timer class
- [X] Cleans up the conserve cpu
- [X] Renames variables to make them consistent with the new style
- [X] Removes process delta recursion checking.
- [X] Properly diposes net states. This fixes edge cases that may cause hanging connections to stay open longer than they should.
- [X] Fixes an issue with gump items not compiling properly
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
DoTalk();
await Timer.Pause(Utility.RandomMinMax(12000, 25000)); // Reset ability to talk after 12-25 seconds
_canTalk = true;
}
```
- [X] Fixes an issue with OPL packets using the wrong endianness and not updating the position properly.
- [X] Fixes an issue with SpanWriter not updating bytes written when it is used adhoc.
- [X] Moves packet creation for OPL inside the SendInfoTo function.

SpanWriter now has an argument that allows it to be resizable.
```cs
public SpanWriter(Span<byte> initialBuffer, bool resize = false)
public SpanWriter(int initialCapacity, bool resize = false)
```
If a SpanWriter is set to be resizable, or given an initial capacity instead of a buffer, it must be disposed:
```cs
public static void SomeMethod()
{
using var writer = new SpanWriter(stackalloc byte[512], true);
// stuff
// Automatic Dispose of writer
}
```
This is because the SpanWriter uses `ArrayPool<byte>.Shared` _rented buffers_ to resize. If the writer is not disposed, those buffers will never be reused resulting in a _memory leak_.
It is possible that the SpanWriter will outright ditch the initial buffer if resize is set to true and growing is needed. To check/account for that we can do the following:
```cs
public static void SomeMethod()
{
Span<byte> span = stackalloc byte[512];
using var writer = new SpanWriter(span, true);
// write some stuff that causes the span to grow
span = writer.RawBuffer;
// Do stuff with the span
}
```
Make sure you don't accidentally `Dispose()` the writer or use the `RawBuffer` outside of the `using` block. If you do, bad things will happen! (NullPointerException, or a fresh SpanWriter with no buffer, depending on the situation).
SpanWriter can also now be used with a fixed statement since it has a `PinnableReference()` function.

- [X] Updates Movement packets
- [X] Adds OSI fastwalk packets. These aren't used on OSi anymore.
- [X] Adds new movement handling, but looks like the client doesn't use it. (Also leaving the 0x4000 Character List Flag off)
- [X] Adds time sync request handler, but also looks like the client doesn't use it.
- [X] Adds time sync response for time sync, just in case, but it isn't used, so not sure about the arguments.
- [X] Reimplements RunUO's fastwalk to use a circular array on the netstate instead of every mobile
- [X] Removes ClearFastwalkStack from RunUO implementation. This shouldn't be needed anymore
Changed fastwalk settings:
```cs
public static int WalkFootDelay { get; set; } = 440;
public static int RunFootDelay { get; set; } = 220;
public static int WalkMountDelay { get; set; } = 220;
public static int RunMountDelay { get; set; } = 110;
public static bool EnableFastwalkPrevention { get; set; } = true;
public static AccessLevel FastwalkExemptionLevel { get; set; } = AccessLevel.Counselor;
// If this is changed during runtime, then the steps array needs resizing.
public static int MaxSteps { get; private set; } = 4;
```

"settings": {
"movement.delay.runFoot": "220",
"movement.delay.runMount": "110",
"movement.delay.walkFoot": "440",
"movement.delay.walkMount": "220",
"movement.enableFastWalkPrevention": "True",

}
}
```
Notes about OSI fastwalk:
While it does work, I can't find a benefit in using it because of the variable speeds. If players moved at a single speed then we could refill the stack every X milliseconds with 6 keys and use a naive token bucket implementation.
Unfortunately variable speeds mount/run/walk/etc means we would have to use a leaky bucket algorithm.
If we are using a leaky bucket algorithm with a variable leak, then we don't need to send tokens because we are already tracking it on the server side.
ModernUO vs OSI Fastwalk:
When the fastwalk was implemented on OSI, it used up to 6 tokens. These tokens were probably distributed every 600-750 milliseconds. To get the same effect, the new fastwalk settings might need to be adjusted. I would tweak them and feel free to let me know what worked for you!
