Fixed Roaring Tiger messenger effect sticking on the client after the end on the animation. Fixed an issue with party EXP handing to low-level players leech EXP. Fixed party EXP system giving players way too much EXP in some cases. Added Owl item search ranking feature, items most searched can be displayed by the Owl instead of the hard-coded counterpart.
Fixed successful scrolled items not using up an upgrade slot when using white scroll. Fixed some issues with the PiratePQ and added a "clear all boxes to complete a stage"-mode. Added "Party for Starters" feature. Added concurrency protection on event script modules.
Fixed issues with negative experience being distributed to characters
when killing a mob, rendering "Exp reset". Fixed chaos scroll behaving
oddly. Refactored debuff expirations to manage one list with registered
debuffs and expire times, thus lifting some load from the TimerManager.
Added concurrency protection on how World deals with parties. Thanks to
the DietStory dev team, fixed some issues with the MK maps.
Thanks to BenjixD DietStory's dev team, many bugs found by them have
been patched (pirate quests, missing drop data, fly command, etc).
Implemented Owl of Minerva. Fixed many issues with Hired Merchant and
Player Shops. Fixed an error with the slot checking system. Added Wish
Tickets (circa-2006 GMS event) to be dropped on AmoriaPQ.
Fixed some issues with Fredrick not retrieving the right amount of items
from Hired Merchants. Added concurrency protection for HM. Patched a
minor issue on buff system.
Completely rearranged buff system (system can smartly check for the best
statup to take effect for it's duration, or the server can be flagged to
act as usual). Refactored scheduling system for buffs expiration and
cooldowns to use one single thread per player rather than one per
instance.
Added experimental autosaver feature. Fixed pet ignore feature not
saving/loading data in some cases. Added concurrency protection for
inventory classes and monster book.
Added Vega's Spell feature. Refactored mounts and pets schedules (now
one thread runs globally updating stats). Fixed Pet Ignore now saving to
DB. Fixed Flash Jump animation not appearing for other players just
after changing jobs. Fixed 3rd job, now as a proper event with timeout.
Introducing Brand-new PQ: CafePQ.
Implemented EXPERIMENTAL DBCP (connection pool), trying to improve
concorrent access to DB. Added door portals on Kerning Square. Fixed
equipments getting stat overflow when upgrading stats. Fixed expiring
pets crashing the client in some cases.
Fixed some bugs regarding dojo, updated drop data, minor tweaks on
Mystic Doors, added expeditions for Showa Manor, Zakum and Pink Bean,
smart search for item slots on quest/npc rewarding system, attempt on
boss HPbar to focus on player's current target, quests with selectable
rewards now hands the item correctly, after the first PQ instance next
ones are loaded more smoothly.
As reported by J0k3r613, patched guild system not recognizing properly
the guild leader just after creation. Patched many more issues related
to guilds and alliances.
Implemented Guild PQ. Fixed a problem introduced earlier where negative
EXP would be deemed as "integer overflow", provoking many game breaking
issues as result.
Added a queue system for waiting guilds outside the GPQ area. Changed
the way players are transported through maps on non-portal passing
cases: if not defined, a spawn point is chosen randomly for each player.
Fixed a bug on guild creation process where the leadership would not be
assigned instantly to the guild leader (would need to change channels or
reconnect to take effect).
Added mechanics for the EXP/DROP cash coupons (such as enabling
out-of-time active coupons via command and automatic update of active
ones over the designed interval). Created MapleCouponInstaller as means
to gather info about the coupon intervals and rates from the WZs (the
generated SQL table is already updated on the db_database.sql file).
