## Summary `Mobile.DamageEntries` was a `List<DamageEntry>` allocated for every mobile, including the ~99% that never take damage. It is now an inline `ValueLinkList<DamageEntry>` (24 bytes in the `Mobile` object, no separate allocation) ordered least recent → most recent. - `DamageEntry` implements `IValueLinkListNode<DamageEntry>`. - `RegisterDamage` moves the entry to the tail in O(1) instead of `Remove` + `Add` on a list. - Expired entries are always a head prefix, so pruning walks from the head and stops at the first live entry. The `DamageEntries` getter prunes on access. - `DamageEntries` is exposed as `ref readonly`; enumerate with `foreach` or `.ByDescending()`. Mutation goes through `RegisterDamage` / `ClearDamageEntries`. - `BaseCreature.GetLootingRights` and `BaseCreature.ComputeBonusDamage` take `in ValueLinkList<DamageEntry>`; all callers compile unchanged. Files that `foreach` over `DamageEntries` need `using Server.Collections;` for the enumerator extension. - RunUO migration docs (`dev-docs/runuo-migration-docs/09`, `11`) and the `migrate-items-mobiles` skill document the change. Saves one object and 16 bytes per mobile (~8 MB and 500k gen2 objects on a 500k world). Second of three PRs from the lazy per-mobile collections design (first: #2604). Branched from `main`; the two diffs touch disjoint hunks of `Mobile.cs`. ## Breaking change - `Mobile.DamageEntries` is no longer a `List<DamageEntry>`. Indexing, `.Clear()`, `.Add()`, `.Remove()` no longer compile; use `foreach`, `.ByDescending()`, `.Count`, `ClearDamageEntries()`, and `RegisterDamage`. Calling a `ValueLinkList` mutator on the `ref readonly` property compiles but operates on a copy while still unlinking the real nodes; do not. - `BaseCreature.GetLootingRights` and `BaseCreature.ComputeBonusDamage` signatures changed to `(in ValueLinkList<DamageEntry>, …)`. Save format is untouched: damage entries are not serialized. ## Behavior Recency order, `allowSelf`, tie-breaking in `FindMostTotal`/`FindLeastTotal` (most recent wins), `Responsible` accounting, and loot-rights ordering are unchanged and covered by the new `DamageEntryTests` and `LootingRightsTests`. ## Testing - `dotnet build -c Release` clean. - New `DamageEntryTests` and `LootingRightsTests` plus full `Server.Tests` and `UOContent.Tests`. |

Development
Supported IDEs
Getting Started
- Install prerequisite requirements
- Clone this repository (or download the latest):
git clone https://github.com/modernuo/ModernUO.git
- Open
ModernUO.slnto start developing
Building/Publishing
Interactive Mode (Recommended for new users)
Run ./publish.cmd (Windows) or ./publish.sh (Linux/macOS) with no arguments to launch the guided build tool. It will:
- Check prerequisites (.NET SDK, native libraries)
- Walk you through configuration and platform selection
- Build and publish the server to the
Distributiondirectory - Show deployment instructions for cross-compiled builds
Command Line
./publish.cmd [release|debug] [os] [arch]
os- Supported operating systemsarchx64- Intel/AMD 64-bitarm64- ARM 64-bit
Linux Prerequisites
Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky, etc
dnf upgrade --refresh -y
# RHEL-family distributions (CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, Rocky, RHEL) need CRB and EPEL enabled.
# Fedora skips this block.
dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
dnf install -y epel-release
# Prerequisites
dnf install -y findutils libicu libdeflate libargon2 tzdata
Ubuntu, Debian, etc
apt-get update -y
# The ICU runtime package carries the ABI version in its name (libicu74, libicu76, …) and has no
# stable alias, so match it by pattern rather than pinning a release-specific name.
apt-get install -y '^libicu[0-9]+$' libdeflate0 libargon2-1 tzdata
Only the runtime libraries are needed — the -dev/-devel packages are not. Run
./build-tool --check-prereqs to check the current machine and print the exact packages your
release needs.
zstd is not listed because ZstdNet bundles libzstd for every platform, and liburing is not
listed because IORingGroup issues io_uring syscalls directly.
If the shard's configured time zone is a legacy alias such as US/Eastern, Debian 12 and Ubuntu
24.04 also need tzdata-legacy. See Platform Prerequisites
for what each dependency is for and what breaks without it.
OSX Requirements
brew install icu4c libdeflate argon2
Running the Server
- Follow the publish instructions
- The
Distributiondirectory is portable — copy it to your production server for deployment - Run
ModernUO.exeordotnet ModernUO.dllfrom theDistributiondirectory - On first run, the server will prompt you to configure game data file locations
