### Summary
Refactors ScheduledEvent and EventScheduler API to use TimeOnly so recurrence offset is explicit.
API:
```cs
public ScheduledEvent(
DateTime startAfter,
DateTime endOn,
TimeOnly time,
IRecurrencePattern recurrence,
TimeZoneInfo timeZone = null
)
```
Example:
```cs
// Schedule a daily event at 8:00 AM UTC
EventScheduler.DailyAt(
new DateTime(2024, 6, 1, 8, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc),
() => Console.WriteLine("Daily event triggered!")
);
// Schedule a custom recurring event at 3:30 PM UTC every Monday
var recurrence = new WeeklyRecurrencePattern(1, DaysOfWeek.Monday);
EventScheduler.Shared.ScheduleEvent(
DateTime.UtcNow,
new TimeOnly(15, 30),
() => Console.WriteLine("Weekly Monday event!"),
recurrence
);
```
### Summary
* Adds an event scheduler.
* Adds conveniences for hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, ordinal monthly, and yearly recurrences
Example:
```cs
var tz = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("America/New_York");
// Specify the time of the day, and the day of the week you want it to occur. Make sure it is translated into Utc.
// The next occurrence will be _after_ the specified date/time.
var scheduledEvent = EventScheduler.WeeklyAt(new DateTime(2025, 04, 26, 17, 00, 00), StartEvent, tz);
void StartEvent()
{
World.Broadcast(0x30, false, "The event has started!");
}
Console.WriteLine("Event starts on {0}", scheduledEvent.NextOccurrence);
```
In this example, on _Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 @ 5pm ET_, the message "The event has started!" will be broadcasted.
> [!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
* Added World.NewVirtual for creating virtual serial numbers
* Reserved range 0x7EEEEEEE to 0x7FFFFFFF for virtual serials
* Hair and Facial hair (for mobiles) now use virtual serials instead of FakeSerial() functions
* Consolidated virtual hair to a single `VirtualHairInfo` class.
Corpse hair and facial hair now persists across save/load and hair and facial hair no longer teleport to newest corpse.
### Summary
- Generalizes the On/Off toggle items concept
- Updates the OnOffGump so it is static
- Standardizes OnOff items so they can be used by staff
### Notes
Decided to not fix#1417 because it is not clear that the clilocs or errors are for that purpose. Can't test this on OSI anyways.
## Summary
### Changes
- Adds `[IgnoreDupe]` and `[SerializedIgnoreDupe]`
- Updates all _known_ classes that need the attribute. Some might be missing, please helps us find them!
- Adds `Item.Dupe()` command and encapsulates `CopyProperties` and `OnAfterDuped`. This is also overridable.
- Updates Dupe command to use the new logic.
- Fixes duping multiple kinds of objects that used to be outright broken.
### Bug Fixes
- Fixes issue with durability after duping
- Fixes issue with hue after duping
> [!Note]
> **Developer Note**
> Customizing how duping an item works now requires two steps:
> 1. Add `[IgnoreDupe]` or `[SerializedIgnoreDupe]` to the property/field
> 2. Add custom logic in an `OnAfterDuped` override
>
> When do you need to do this?
> *When the property being copied is not a primitive, and you need to manually deep-clone the contents of the property such as with Lists, Dictionaries, or sub classes.*
> [!Note]
> **Developer Note**
> Now developers will only need to build/run the Application project instead of everything.
> When adding new projects, make sure to:
> 1. Add a reference to that project in the Application project.
> 2. Add the dll file to the Distribution/Data/assemblies.json file
### Summary
- Adds an application project
- Consolidates process restarts to use `Core.Kill(true)`
- Removes some old messaging, for example processor optimization
- Fixes missing build cleanup
> [!Warning]
> Users on Linux/OSX will need to follow the Readme
> and make sure `libdeflate` is properly installed
> [!Note]
> **Developer Note**
> The API for compression has changed. Use `Deflate.Standard` for the same functionality.
### Summary
* Replaces Zlib with LibDeflate for a 50% performance improvement!
* Adds MacOS 14 to properly test Arm64
### Summary
* Removes old gump packet support
* Removes support for v4 clients
* Removes `Unpack` flag and assumes it is always true.
* Removes StringToBuffer since this is built into .NET now.

## Breaking Changes
* The Firewall and IP Limiter have been rewritten. Please read the notes carefully!
* `TcpServer.Instances` moved back to `NetState.Instances` - sorry - it was stupid to move it to begin with.
> [!Note]
> Sockets that fail the IP Limiter or Firewall will be immediately and forcibly disconnected.
> This means they will be stuck at "Verifying account..." if it was a real client.
### Summary
- Removes firewall wildcard support.
- Removes `AccessRestrictions`.
- Moves Firewall/IPLimiter to the core.
- Moves `TcpServer` to its own thread.
- Removes the `SocketConnect` and `SocketDisconnect` event sinks.
- Moves `Instances` back to `NetState.Instances`.
- Fixes a long standing bug with bad handling of duplicate listener addresses.
#### Firewall
The firewall has been completely rewritten. There is now an "Admin Firewall" which saves to the config file. Secondarily, there is an internal firewall used exclusively by the TcpServer while processing sockets. The Admin firewall mirrors it's additions/deletions to the internal firewall by adding requests to a queue.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Wildcard firewall entries, such as `X`, `*`, `?` are not allowed.**
> **Ranges in between IP classes or sextets are not allowed.**
> **Please make sure to use one of the following:**
> * IP Address - `192.168.1.1`
> * CIDR - `192.168.1.0/24`
> * Range - `192.168.1.1-192.168.1.100`
#### IP Limiter
The IP Limiter has been completely rewritten. The available configurations are:
```json
"ipLimiter.enable": "True",
"ipLimiter.maxConnectionsPerIP": 10,
"ipLimiter.clearConnectionAttemptsDuration": "00:00:00:10",
"ipLimiter.clearThrottledDuration": "00:00:02:00",
```
The IP Limiter is set up to prevent spamming connections from the same IP. Every time an IP connects, it is added to a connection list. After 10 attempts, the IP is added to the throttle list. To keep the system fast, the connection list is entirely wiped every 10 seconds, and the throttle list is entirely wiped every 2 minutes.
### Summary
- Moves starting city info from AccountHandler to CharacterCreation
- Simplifies the logic of determining the starting cities
- Adds support for Trammel & Felucca for non-young accounts
- Fixes fall through starting city for v6+ in UOR era.
- All staff are force-sent to GA.
Closes#1408
## BREAKING CHANGE
- Deletes `map.GetObjectsInRange` and `map.GetObejctsInBounds`
### Notes
Developers are expected to enumerate mobiles and items separately now using `map.GetMobilesInRange` and `map.GetItemsInRange`. This helps keep the code streamlined so we don't have to maintain multiple copies of ref struct enumerators that do the same thing.
### Fixes
- [X] Fixes bug with planks closing
- [X] Fixes issue with iterating items/mobiles from a null map
### 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 Changes
Incoming packet registration signature has changed to:
```cs
delegate* void OnReceiveCallback(NetState state, SpanReader reader, int packetLength);
IncomingPackets.Register(int packetID, int length, bool ingame, OnReceiveCallback onReceive);
```
For example, an incoming packet handler signature would now look like this:
```cs
public static void SomeIncomingPacket(NetState state, SpanReader reader, int packetLength)
{
// Parse the data
}
```
## Summary
Updates the network Pipe class to use a mirrored memory technique. This technique involves mapping the same physical memory to two contiguous virtual memory spaces so the byte buffer appears duplicated. This allows writing to a double-sized array to wrap around without the need for the `CircularBuffer` classes.
In practice this allows us to use `Span<byte>` as if the buffer was a regular array.
### Bug Fixes
- [X] Fixes bad fixed length string parsing
* Fixes an issue with moving directories across volumes
* Removes usages of WebClient
* Removes usages of Cryptographic Providers
Note: Even though .NET 6 introduces Xoshiro RNG, there is no way to control the seed. I'll do some reconciliation of Xoshiro so it functions closer to the built in one. For the most part, it has parity though.
Benchmarks show there is nothing odd about the implementations, they are within 1ns of each other.
- [X] Adds question about expansion at start of server
- [X] Adds question about client version to determine old have and map diffs
- [X] Adds config setting "maps.enablePre6000Trammel"
- [X] Rearranges some of the loading order.
- [X] Added support for deserializing nullable enums from json
TODO:
Expand the nullable enums deserialization factory to work with any type by pulling the factory and creating an instance of the converter.
- [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 `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] 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;
}
```
