## Summary
- Removes allocation of a `List<ContextMenuEntry>` every time a context menu is created.
- Moves packet/context menu creation logic out of the core
- Fixes tame entry
## BREAKING CHANGE
> [!Important]
> **Developer Note**
> ```cs
> public virtual void GetContextMenuEntries(Mobile from, List<ContextMenuEntry> list)
> ```
> and similar functions changed to
> ```cs
> public virtual void GetContextMenuEntries(Mobile from, ref PooledRefList<ContextMenuEntry> list)
> ```
### Summary
- Fixes various memory leaks related to spells
- Fixes Spell Plague
- Added ability to determine if `sdi` should take effect for Spell Damage.
- Fixes animal form timer ticking non-stop while logged out.
### Summary
* Makes mount stamina significantly faster.
* Reduces absolute reset from 24 hours to 4 hours.
* Adds Pub 46+ Ethereal stamina where the stamina is global to all mounts for the player
* Removes serialization of stamina entirely because it's ok if it gets reset during shard restarts.
### Summary
- Fixes the name `Vegies` to `Veggies`
- Adds feeding leather to goats
- Adds metal for Lava Lizards
- Fixes Bone Helm being classified as plate instead of bone.
- Fixes wooden shields not classified as wood.
### Note
On OSI, the preferred foods on the animal lore gump doesn't contain all possible favorite food categories. Furthermore, the one listed is not necessarily always the "first" in the list of possible categories. We aren't going to try and fix that since it isn't important.
> [!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
- Removes old death packet that isn't used. Doubtful this causes issues with clients that are v4+.
- Removes duplicate incoming packets. Again, probably to fix some old client issues, doubtful it affects clients v4+.
- Fixes setting serials and entities in props/commands. Note: Disabled setting `Parent` since the new sector code has issues. We shouldn't rely on it anyway!
- Reverts a recent change to healthbars that should not have been made. Oops!
### 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
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
- [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.
- [X] Added a new `GenericEntityPersistence<T>` type to encapsulate `ISerializable` serialization.
- [X] Removing the custom logic and moved Items, Mobiles, Guilds, and Accounts to GenericEntityPersistence.
- [X] Changed serialization to use the singleton pattern to reduce calling methods from stored variables.
## 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 (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.

* Fixes another minor leak where a mob is not unregistered from the animated dead spell list until the next spell cast.
* Fixes disarm
* Fixes strangle not refreshing
* Fixes curse not refreshing
* Fixes 125% bonus to looting rights
* Fixes mobs attacking each other, or not attacking each other
* Fixes items dropping to the floor

* Fixes cure sending wrong message
- [X] Fixes NPE from account tags.
- [X] Fixes bad skill check due to missing cast to double.
- [X] Fixes water elemental duration.
- [X] Standardizes spell summon duration by expansion.
## Breaking Changes (New API)
ObjectPropertyList supports the following API:
```cs
list.Add(500000);
list.Add(500001, stringArgument);
list.Add("Some text");
list.Add($"Some text with {argument}");
list.Add(500002, $"{arg1}\t{arg2}");
```
## Notes
1. All API uses that require a formatter like this:
```cs
list.Add(500002, "{0}\t{1}", arg1, arg2);
```
Should be changed to use string interpolation, for example:
```cs
list.Add(500002, $"{arg1}\t{arg2}");
```
2. The following paradigm should no longer be used:
```cs
list.Add(1061170, prop.ToString()); // strength requirement ~1_val~
```
The new string interpolation API will avoid having to convert the argument to a string before writing it to the packet. Instead use the following:
```cs
list.Add(1061170, $"{prop}"); // strength requirement ~1_val~
```
### Benchmarks
```cs
| Method | Mean | Error | StdDev | Gen 0 | Allocated |

```
### Changes
- [X] Removes crash in STArray.Return when array is null.
- [X] Fixes NPE in OPL when entity is null. Serial in packet will be 0 when entity is null.
- [X] Fixes NPE in AosAttributes when Parent is null.
- [X] Changes OPL to use string interpolation.
- [X] Introduces `IPropertyList` to allow extending PropertyList for other uses.
* Removes scaled speed by dex for monsters
* Changes scaled speed by dex for pets (HS+ expansion) to be 400ms -> 100ms between 50 -> 200 dex
* Removes speed changes that were broken for various mobs
* Combines "Legacy" speed and renames the class to `NPCSpeeds`
* Creates speed "classes" (slow, medium, fast, very fast)
* Introduces a new overridable property `SpeedClass`. Register a new speed class using `NPCSpeeds.Register()` and then set the speed class to bulk/mass apply speeds.
Order of speed determination:
1. SpeedMod
2. SpeedClass property (not null)
3. SpeedClass entry in Data\npc-speeds.json for that type
4. "Fast" (200ms Active, 400ms Passive)
* Adds the following configurations:
* `movement.delay.npcMinDelay` - 0.1 - Pets or Non-monster NPCs
* `movement.delay.npcMaxDelay` - 0.4 - Pets or Non-monster NPCs
* `movement.delay.monsterMinDelay` - 0.4 - Non-pet Monsters or NPC vs Player Combat
* `movement.delay.monsterMaxDelay` - 0.8 - Non-pet Monsters or NPC vs Player Combat
* `movement.delay.monsterMinDex` - 150 - Dex maximum for delay by dex
* `movement.delay.MinDex` - 190 - Dex maximum for delay by dex
