# New Gump API
We are pleased to release a new API that is faster, allocates nearly zero memory, and still feels very similar to the original API. The API is broken into 3 types of gumps, dynamic, static with placeholders, and static without placeholders.
### Dynamic Gumps
These gumps will inherit `DynamicGump` and are meant for gumps that have a dynamic layout. This includes specifying dynamic arguments to HtmlLocalized entries.
## Static Gumps
Static gumps are those where the function to the build the layout is called only once and cached forever. They can optionally have placeholders. These placeholders allow the developer to specify the string values later, dynamically in a `BuildStrings` method on the gump. If a gump does not have any placeholders, the string entries will also be cached forever.
## Benchmarks
To make sure we were going in the right direction and not wasting time, we took copious benchmarks. Here are the final benchmarks for a really simple gump.
Note:
* The majority of creating a gump is compressing the layout and the strings. Compressing each section takes ~6,000ns (12us total).
```cs
| Method | Mean | Error | StdDev | Median | Ratio | RatioSD | Gen0 | Allocated | Alloc Ratio |
|------------------------------- |-------------:|-------------:|-------------:|-------------:|------:|--------:|-------:|----------:|------------:|
| OldGump | 13,308.29 ns | 1,059.695 ns | 1,883.608 ns | 14,330.72 ns | 1.000 | 0.00 | 0.1526 | 2400 B | 1.00 |
| DynamicLayoutGump | 13,357.86 ns | 129.144 ns | 226.185 ns | 13,323.60 ns | 1.029 | 0.17 | - | 48 B | 0.02 |
| StaticLayoutDynamicStringsGump | 6,653.10 ns | 81.815 ns | 143.292 ns | 6,617.45 ns | 0.514 | 0.09 | - | 40 B | 0.02 |

```
# Non-Breaking Changes
* All gump components in the core have been moved to `Gumps/Legacy`.
* All legacy gumps will still inherit `Gump`, which now inherits `BaseGump`
# Special Thanks
Thank you to @stefanomerotta for considerable contributions/benchmarking/testing to make this effort a reality! We collectively went through over 10 iterations, but it is finally ready.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Please read through these changes, as they changed certain expectations for how the internal AI thinking/movement work.
> Note that some mobs still don't have smooth movement on ClassicUO due to how the client handles animations/movement.
### Summary
- **Important Change**: Mobs will now move at a more regular pace. If the OnThink results in a move, but the cooldown would otherwise prevent the move, then the movement is scheduled on another timer.
- Added a 400ms delay to mobs turning to face a player to attack in order to avoid glitching between moving and turning.
- Reverted AI thinking speeds back to RunUO specific speeds.
- Reverted the AI thinking to moving conversion delays back to RunUO.
- For thinking speeds that are not exactly the predefined speeds from RunUO, there is a new calculation to determine the correct conversion to movement speed. This stops speeds like `0.35` from being faster than `0.3`
> [!NOTE]
> **Developer Note**
> BaseAI.CheckMove() no longer contains the check for whether or not a mob is on movement cooldown. This function can now be overwritten without causing issues to figuring out that cooldown.
### Summary
- Adds some more checks in case a corpse's owner is somehow null. Would like to eventually allow null owner corpses, but more work is needed.
- Cleans up variable unboxing and reassignment in quests. Also flattens quest logic. Still more work needs to be done.
- Codegens more quest items/mobiles.
### 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
TLDR - .NET Framework rounded TimeSpan (and some DateTime) methods to the nearest millisecond. This was actually _expected_ accidentally for parts of RunUO.
We are aiming to fix this and clean up some other bad assumptions.
Closes#1604
### Summary
Eliminates `IPooledEnumerable<BaseMulti>` and `eable.Free()` from `Map` for multis. This drastically simplifies code that iterates in range, for example:
```cs
foreach (var m in m.GetMultisInRange(5))
{
}
```
The code above no longer requires an eable and calling `Free()`.
### Bug Fixes
- [X] Fixes an issue with searching through nested empty containers.
### Summary
Eliminates `IPooledEnumerable<T>` and `eable.Free()` from `Map` for mobiles. This drastically simplifies code that iterates in range, for example:
```cs
foreach (var m in m.GetMobilesInRange(5))
{
}
```
The code above no longer requires an eable and calling `Free()`.
- [X] Fixed several locations where an NPC that was damaged would cause a server crash.
- [X] Removed an unnecessary allocation in guard fake calls (NPCs calling guards on you)
- [X] Fixes damage precision loss in Poison Strike Spell
- [X] BogThing no longer attempts to "search" for boglings to eat when it is at full health
### Summary
Modifying a ValueLinkList using one of the methods will bump the "version". This field is used by iterators (foreach loops) to determine if the link list was modified while iterating. The sector.Items (and in the future other lists), will no longer be safe to modify while iterating. The server will _CRASH_ if the ValueLinkList is modified.
Thanks to @stefanomerotta for help!

### 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.
### Bug Fixes
- [X] Fishing had an error in the random check that may have caused slight bias.
### Summary
- Adds KR/EC client versions to ClientVersion
- Adds distinction for enhanced versions in the page queue
- Adds KR Expansion flags
- Adds ProtocolChange enum support
- Adds missing Moongate checks for TerMur
- Adds better message for why a client version is not supported, and which ones are supported.
## **MAJOR CHANGE**
* `Stabled` has been moved to `PlayerMobile`.
* New methods added, `PlayerMobile.AddStabled` and `PlayerMobile.RemoveStabled`.
* Added `PlayerMobile.AddFollower` and `PlayerMobile.RemoveFollower`.
* `Stabled`, `AutoStabled`, and `AllFollowers` are now `HashSet` and **_CAN BE NULL_**.
### Summary
* Fixes monster abilities causing harm to the monster through reflect
* Adds `CanTriggerAgainstSelf` to override this for healing or some other self-affecting ability
* Fixes a major memory leak where `UnsummonTimer` from animated dead spell lasts up-to 24hrs and therefore holds onto references of dead/deleted mobs.
* Fixes another minor leak where a mob is not unregistered from the animated dead spell list until the next spell cast.
- [X] `BaseRegion.CheckTravel` now properly cascades through parent regions
- [X] `SpellHelper.CheckTravel` now returns a failure message instead of sending one internally.
- [X] Consolidates travel restriction messages so they aren't duplicated.
* Fixes recursion with DeltaQueue causing multiple sets of packets to be sent to the client.
* Fixes StatMods that are expired not being checked properly.
* Adds a timer to properly expire/remove stat mods instead of relying on a side-effect.
