Changed map chair bonus healing mechanic to be a player skill, instead of promptly available for all players (healing buff takes place only if the player has the skill). Hired Merchant now properly checks for a space on the inventory before permitting a player to buy an item/bundle. Minor fix with concurrency on MapleStorage.
Fixed an (quite amusing) exploit with map chairs stacking "extra healing" schedules on certain conditions. Fixed mini-dungeon not disposing players properly in some cases. Refactored the mini-dungeon structure. Fixed an issue on CASH inventory merging same items when trying to swap them. Fixed Beholder crash issue when trying to enter Cash Shop.
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.
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.
Implemented AmoriaPQ. Fixed an issue with ItemIdSortHandler where empty
vectors given to the sorting module would cause an exception thrown,
wiping players inventory items. Thanks to Vcoc, revamped shop data for
GMShop (shop id 1337). Mount quest for explorers now uses event script.
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.
Reworked autoassigner (improved limits between required secondary and
surplus primary stats). Hero's will removes most of diseases, tonic
removes slow. Added visual info for collected NX cards. Added commands
cake (cake boss with customizable HP) and setgmlevel. Reworked Trade
system now checking for slots smartly (instead of just checking for
empty slots).
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.
Rebalanced the way equipment exp is gained (about 100~200 same-level
range mobs to pass equip level 1 to 2). Fixed reactors dropping quest
items to player if they don't have the quest started. Fixed broken
Temple of Time quests.
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.
Added the PIN feature. Fixed ranking now calculating ranks now
world-based instead of overall. Rebalanced equip exp gain and made
cosmetic equipments no more leveling up (cosmetics leveling up are
useless).
Fixed performance drop on the server when trying to level up equipments
which has high stats points. Added a flag enabling massive damages with
Three Snails skill.
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).
