- [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] Removes network pause/resume
- [X] Adds back packet profiler
- [X] Adds state machine to keep track and trace netstates
- [X] Changes NetState.Running back to using an interlock exchange
- [X] Adds preliminary packet throttling support
### Packet Throttling
- `[GetThrottle <packetId>` to get the delay in milliseconds for that packet
- `[SetThrottle <packetId> <delay>` to set the delay in milliseconds for that packet
The settings are saved to `Configuration/throttles.json`
- [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] Removes some uses of linq
- [X] Creates struct based enumerator for Skills
- [X] Creates a struct based enumerator for TypeCache
- [X] Changes HarvestDefinition to an init array instead of List
- [X] Changes HeritageTokenGump Response from List to Array
- [X] Converts some player packets
Note:
- Not caching weather packet because it is copying directly from stackalloc using aggressive inlining. Don't need to do more optimizations.
- [X] Fixes a bug with RunUO where direction is set multiple times and the run flag is not set properly.
TODO: Fix other direction/movement issues and duplicate packets.
Bumps release version
- [X] Adds support for `SkipLocalsInitAttribute`. SkipLocalsInitAttribute skips initializing stack variables including `stackalloc`. I don't think it is wired/working yet but should be implemented soon.
- [X] Optimizes broadcasted packets by checking if the first byte (packet ID) is non-zero. If it is already set, it reuses the buffer.
- [X] Removes unnecessary refs to Spans. I don't think the Span struct itself is mutable, so a ref is not helpful.
- [X] Fixes an issue where a buffer smaller than 8 bytes would not double with enough space in some cases.
- [X] Fixes an issue with dupe copying the savebuffer reference (ugh).
- [X] Streamlines the IGenericWriter API to use better generics.
- [X] Streamlines the IGenericReader API to use better generics.
- [X] Forces `tidying` of a List/HashSet to be done externally since Writers/Readers should not have side effects.
- [X] Fixes an issue where Tidying a list didn't TrimExcess, causing memory leaks.
- [X] Reverted the meaning of `World.Running` to specifically refer to any world state post world loading.
- NOTE: Do not use this if you want to block on world saves. Instead use checks against `WorldState.Saving` states.
- [X] Fixes an issue with serializing negative DateTime deltas.
- [X] Fixes a potential issue with serializing non-UTC DateTime.
Bumps release version
- [X] Removes some string allocations (e.g. split)
- [X] Optimizes some collections
- [X] Converts insensitive to extension methods of built-ins.
- [X] Adds ordinal (case sensitive) string helpers
- [X] Fixes conditionals for in-game commands so they use Ordinal comparisons.
- [X] Replaces ToLower.Contains with InsensitiveContains
- [X] Adds ValueStringBuilder
- [X] Implements ValueStringBuilder in a few places where it makes sense
- [X] Removes the redundant Wrap function and replaces it with an optimized version
- [X] Fixes list conversions in Utility
Closes#351
Bumps release version
### Breaking Change
- [X] `Mobile.GetOldPacketFlags()` no longer exists. Instead there is a flag for `Mobile.GetPacketFlags()`.
### Non-Breaking Changes
- [X] Consolidates move to world for mobiles
- [X] Consolidates mobile packets between stygian abyss and older
This PR supersedes changes in #337. That PR will need to be redone and broken out anyway.
- [X] Fixes an edge case where the cycle index goes negative and crashes
- [X] Fixes average CPS calculation
- [X] Fixes issue with logout delay
- [X] Bumps release version
- [X] Converts targeting packets.
### BREAKING CHANGE TO TARGET CLASS
```cs
public virtual Packet GetPacketFor(NetState ns)
```
Changed to:
```cs
public virtual void SendPacketTo(NetState ns)
```
Bumps release version
- [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;
```
modernuo.json
```json
{
"settings": {
"movement.delay.runFoot": "220",
"movement.delay.runMount": "110",
"movement.delay.walkFoot": "440",
"movement.delay.walkMount": "220",
"movement.enableFastWalkPrevention": "True",
"movement.fastwalkExemptionLevel": "Counselor",
"movement.maxSteps": "4"
}
}
```
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!
