## Summary
Adds authentic **T2A-era (pre-UO:Third-Dawn) packet-based crafting menus**, enabled via the **`t2aCraftMenus` server setting** (read once at startup; default **`!Core.UOTD`**, so a pre-UO:TD shard gets them automatically). When enabled, double-clicking a crafting tool opens the classic `0x7C`/`0x7D` item-list menu — skill- and material-filtered — instead of the modern gump, covering all 8 tool/skill crafts (blacksmithy, tailoring, tinkering, carpentry, alchemy, bowcraft/fletching, inscription, cartography). It is **not** a runtime/admin-flippable feature flag.
This is the **definitive, reconciled** branch and **supersedes**:
- **#2181** (Delphi — `T2A_CraftingMenus`): the original effort.
- **#2381** (Jack/UOLL — `t2a_crafting_menus`): the research-grounded superset (Delphi's base + 12 corrections), rebased onto current `main`.
Original authorship is preserved across the cherry-picked history: foundation commit **@Delphi79**, mechanic fixes **@jackuoll (Jack Ward)**, reconciliation/fixes/docs mine.
## How it was built
1. Cherry-picked Jack's 13 commits onto current `main` (superset of Delphi's; only 2 trivial FeatureFlags conflicts).
2. Applied targeted fixes (below) with tests.
3. Full convention audit, build, and test pass.
Grounded in independent historical research plus Jack's deep dive. Maintainer reference: `dev-docs/t2a-crafting.md`.
## Mechanics (highlights)
- Double-click tool → target resource → skill/material-filtered menu → craft. Resource pre-selection per skill; make-last by targeting the tool.
- **Stacked-gem jewelry:** target a gem stack → the **full stack** is consumed and the piece is named by count ("a 1000 diamond ring"); count persists (`BaseJewel` serialization **v4 → v5**, new `_gemCount`).
- **Tool-less inscription & cartography** (skill-list invoked; no pen/sextant); inscription consumes reagents+scroll on success and failure, mana only on success.
- **Tailoring matching-hue consumption:** targeting hued cloth/leather consumes only that hue. Crafted items take color from their **`CraftResource`** (not the dyed hue), so dyed leather/cloth don't tint the product; in T2A only colored ingots/ore color items (metal armor/shields).
- **Half-resources on failed non-scroll crafts** (pre-UO:TD).
- **Maker's mark** always prompted for exceptional items, via the shared `QueryMakersMarkGump`.
- Server-side menu infra changes are additive (`ItemListEntry.CraftIndex`, `Entries` setter, `HasSent`).
## Notable changes on top of the cherry-pick
- **Toggle is a startup server setting, not a feature flag.** Removed `ContentFeatureFlags.T2ACraftMenus` (and its admin-flippable plumbing); the value is read once via `ServerConfiguration.GetSetting("t2aCraftMenus", !Core.UOTD)` into `T2ACraftSystem.Enabled`. Since the default tracks the era and it can't be flipped at runtime, there's no incoherent "menus-on / UO:TD-era" state.
- **Stacked-gem consumption (B3a/B3):** consume the full `PendingGemCount` (was deliberately consuming 1 while naming by the stack), null-safe gem type, plain-piece fallback + message. New `T2AJewelGemCraftTests`.
- **Convention audit:** `new List<Item>()` → `PooledRefList<Item>` on the hue-aware consume path; removed dead code.
## Decisions & deviations
- `make-last` kept as **QoL** (post-T2A gump-era feature).
- `half-on-failure` (non-scroll) kept as a **reconstruction** (not OSI-confirmed).
- **Stacked-gem** behavior set per shard authority (overrides the "single gem" reconstruction).
- **Cooking** out of scope (no T2A crafting menu existed for it).
- **No colored items from dyed materials:** crafted color comes from the `CraftResource` type. Pre-AOS leather has no colored variant, so leather is always uncolored; weapons retain resource color only in AOS+ (unchanged, intended).
## Test plan
- Automated: `dotnet build ModernUO.slnx -c Debug` clean; `dotnet test Projects/UOContent.Tests` → **421 passed** (incl. 3 new jewelry tests).
- Manual (needs a running T2A shard + client):
- [ ] Each of the 8 skills opens the correct menu; empty-menu guard fires.
- [ ] Make-last repeats the last craft (jewelry re-prompts gem).
- [ ] Jewelry consumes the full targeted gem stack and names by count.
- [ ] Cartography consumes blank maps only with T2A enabled / maps+scrolls when disabled.
- [ ] Tailoring consumes only the targeted-hue material; crafted items are not tinted by dyed cloth/leather.
- [ ] Maker's-mark prompt on exceptional.
- [ ] Failed non-scroll craft consumes half resources.
- [ ] Inscription: reagents+scroll on success/failure, mana only on success.
- [ ] T2A disabled: gump crafting unchanged.

## Summary
Migrates the Quest system gumps from legacy `Gump` to `DynamicGump` / `StaticGump<T>`.
**Renames** `Engines/ML Quests/Gumps/BaseQuestGump` to **`BaseMLQuestGump`** to
disambiguate from the Core quest abstract (`Engines/Quests/Core/QuestSystem.cs`).
Both abstracts now extend `DynamicGump`.
**Abstract bases**:
- `Server.Engines.Quests.BaseQuestGump` (Core) - now `abstract DynamicGump`. Holds constants and a static `AddHtmlObject(ref DynamicGumpBuilder, ...)` helper. Concrete subclasses each provide their own `BuildLayout`.
- `Server.Engines.MLQuests.Gumps.BaseMLQuestGump` (ML, renamed) - now `abstract DynamicGump` with a `protected abstract BuildContent(ref DynamicGumpBuilder)` hook. The base's `BuildLayout` draws shared chrome (background art, frame, label header) and then invokes `BuildContent`; subclasses use `BuildPage`, `SetTitle`, `RegisterButton`, `SetPageCount`, and content helpers (`AddDescription`, `AddObjectives`, `AddObjectivesProgress`, `AddRewardsPage`, `AddRewards`, `AddConversation`).
**Concrete Core gumps** migrated to `DynamicGump`:
- `QuestCancelGump`, `QuestOfferGump` (Core), `QuestObjectivesGump`, `QuestConversationsGump`, `QuestLogUpdatedGump`, `QuestItemInfoGump`, `SheetMusicOfferGump` (Impresario), `PaintedImageGump` (renamed from `PaintedImage.InternalGump`).
**Concrete ML gumps** migrated to `DynamicGump` (extending `BaseMLQuestGump` or directly):
- `InfoNPCGump`, `QuestConversationGump`, `QuestLogDetailedGump`, `QuestLogGump`, `QuestOfferGump` (ML), `QuestReportBackGump`, `QuestRewardGump`, `QuestCancelConfirmGump`, `RaceChangeConfirmGump`.
**`StaticGump<T>` migrations**:
- `ScrollOfAbraxusGump` (Dark Tides). Its layout is a single hard-coded cliloc (1060116) with no per-instance dynamic content - safe to cache.
**Cliloc rule**: Every other quest dialog bakes per-instance cliloc IDs into its layout (quest titles, NPC names, race-specific prompts, era-conditional progress messages, escort destinations). Per the cliloc rule, baking different cliloc numbers into a cached layout would defeat `StaticGump<T>` caching - so all of these are `DynamicGump`.
**Signature changes** to support the migration:
- `QuestObjective.RenderMessage`/`RenderProgress` now take `ref DynamicGumpBuilder builder` (15 overrides updated across Collector, Solen Matriarch, Ambitious Solen Queen, Study of the Solen Hive, Terrible Hatchlings, The Summoning, Uzeraan Turmoil, Witch Apprentice, Emino's Undertaking).
- ML `BaseObjective.WriteToGump` / `BaseObjectiveInstance.WriteToGump` / `BaseReward.WriteToGump` now take `ref DynamicGumpBuilder` (KillObjective, GainSkillObjective, EscortObjective, CollectObjective, DeliverObjective, BaseReward).
**Empty-gump and `Singleton` rules**: All concrete gumps now have private constructors with static `DisplayTo` entry points that null-check the player NetState before allocation. All gumps that shouldn't stack are `Singleton => true`.
**External callers updated**: `MLQuest.SendOffer`/`OnRefuse`, `MLQuestEntry.SendProgressGump`/`SendRewardGump`/`SendReportBackGump`, `MLQuestSystem.QuestGumpRequest` and `ViewQuestsCommand`, `BoonCollector` (Darius/Nedrick), `SirHelper.OnDoubleClick` (no longer caches a single shared `InfoNPCGump` instance - `DisplayTo` constructs one per click and the gump's `Singleton => true` handles deduplication), `RaceChangeDeed.OnDoubleClick`, `PaintedImage.OnDoubleClick`, `ScrollOfAbraxus.OnDoubleClick`, `Impresario.OnTalk`, and `PlayerMobile`'s `BaseQuestGump` alias is now `BaseMLQuestGump`.
**Concrete subclasses found beyond the listed entry points**: `SheetMusicOfferGump` (in Impresario.cs), `PaintedImageGump` (was `PaintedImage.InternalGump`), `QuestObjectivesGump`, `QuestConversationsGump`, `QuestLogUpdatedGump`, `QuestItemInfoGump` (the Core base has these embedded across `QuestSystem.cs`/`QuestObjective.cs`/`QuestConversation.cs`/`QuestItemInfo.cs`).
**Code-standards cleanup**: Renamed legacy `m_X` private fields to `_x` in rewritten files; braces on all control flow.
> [!Important]
> **Developer Note**
> This code change will **completely move gumps out of the core**
### Summary
- Adds `GetGumps()` convenience which exposes methods to Find/Close/Send multiple gumps. This helper is a performance improvement by eliminating the Dictionary<Player, List> lookup for gumps.
### 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()`.
### BREAKING CHANGE ###
The constructor for `TextDefinition` has been removed. Instead use `TextDefinition.Of()` or cast the integer/string to TextDefinition.
- [X] Caches DateTime.NowUtc on the game loop (not other threads)
- [X] Replaces all locations where it makes sense
- [X] Adds Min/Max for `IComparable` (TimeSpan, DateTimes, etc)
Closes#261
- [X] Adds `Respawn` command
- [X] Adds `EditSpawner` command
- Usage: `[global editspawner <type> <arguments> set <properties>`
- This command replaces the arguments (optional) and properties of the affected spawners for that type
- [X] Adds `SpawnProps` command
- Usage: `[area spawnprops`
- This command brings up a gump to modify targeted spawners based on the targeted entity.
- To do this, the props/values are copied and then used to construct a properties list for the spawner entry.
Closes#531
