Improved quests and game progression in the Nihal Desert region.
Reactors that uses map items now automatically detects those already on the ground after changing states.
New tool: MapleQuestMesoFetcher. This tool parses the Quest.wz XML files, detecting and reporting quest ids from quests that does not properly checks for mesos to take from the player before completing the quest.
Fixed a major performance problem with installing over 10000 threads when a given amount of accounts exists on the DB.
Added information for the available 2nd jobs of the Explorers, introducing to the players the gists of each job branch.
Found inconsistencies with the usage of MySQL 5.7. In case of such scenarios, better continue using the legacy system.
Reverted ROM-like tables to MyISAM.
Added a script for visually improving credit view.
Tracked back the server sources before with respective owners. It possibly still needs to be updated.
Fixed Neo City area, now playable.
Overhauled the EllinPQ mechanics, such as the "CLEAR" effect when passing maps, and some bug fixes along the way.
Refactored a lot of out-of-place classes and properly renamed a few others through the project.
Updated readme and licenses through the source, preparing the stage for the new release.
* Added bcrypt support.
bcrypt is the modern hashing method. SHA-1 is considered completely deprecated (like MD5) and SHA-256 isn't as beneficial as bcrypt.
* Updated .gitignore to not track and stage binary files.
* Fixed flipped variables.
* Added ServerConstants.AUTOMATIC_REGISTER
The automatic registration uses the bcrypt hashing method.
* Drop MyISAM support, for InnoDB
As of MySQL 5.6 and above (or MariaDB equivalent), MyISAM has no benefits over InnoDB.
InnoDB is faster.
It has row-level locking.
It has better crash recovery.
It supports transactions, foreign keys and relationship constraints.
* Fixed a memory leak in MapleClient.login
* Added automatic migration from SHA-1 and SHA-512 to bcrypt.
* Made indentation consistent
Implemented the multiple features of the Maker skill (equip disassembly, leftover merging into monster crystal and item crafting).
Updated the DB with the Maker data featured on the WZ.
Added a new table for the strenghtening reagents gain data (compiled with the MapleSkillMakerReagentIndexer).
Fixed quests that improves the Maker skill level and some other Maker-related quests.
Implemented GMS-like "item spraying" from reactors. All boxes holding more than 5 drops have been changed to use this behavior.
Added information for players trying to start/complete quests having the required item equipped. It is expected to have all required items unequipped before handling a quest operation.
New check-purpose tool: MapleMapInfoRetriever. It's sole function is to detect and report map XMLs that has no "info" node in between the server files.
Fixed quest timer UI not disappearing on the client on quest complete.
Fixed a bug on ThreadTracker, not displaying properly the last acquired lock-type.
Fixed MapleArrowFetcher giving out same values from min and max ranges. Max should always be greater than min. Updated DB drops.
Readjusted player ids now starting from 1 again, and moved field oids to start counting from 1bil.
Engineered the ThreadTracker: server-embedded deadlock auditing tool, which will print error messages in case of found deadlocks (also showing all in-use locks on the time of the issue).
Changed the player's id on DB now starting from 20mil, thus preventing players from overwriting NPC/mobs with same oid in-game. Requires proper testing to see if the issue has been cleared.
Aran skill and mount questlines fixed.
Player ID starts counting from 20mil now, preventing clashes with map objects oid's (trying to solve the NPC disappearing issue).
New tool: MapleSkillMakerFetcher. It compiles a SQL script file containing updated Maker data info from the inputted ItemMake.wz.xml.
Updated Maker tables on the DB.
Reconsidered the use of MyISAM. Due to the old nature of the version of MySQL being used (5.1), the use of MyISAM on ROM-like tables makes it optimal since the table locks occurs only upon write.
Added indexes on several tables, thus improving data reading by queries.
Refactored many calls for TimerManager's schedules throughout the source.
Switched all tables using MyISAM to InnoDB: on a multi-threaded environment such as this, table-locking is an instant no-no, and other gains MyISAM would have over InnoDB are minimal.
Altered getConnection() to properly throw an exception (good practice!) in case of no available connection instead of a mere null.
Fixed WK charges not overriding one another and some concurrency issues within MapleMap and EventInstanceManager.
New feature: job level cap, limits EXP gain until job advancement is done.
New tool: MapleQuestItemFetcher, searches through the server files for missing quest items and reports the results.
Fixed slotMax function caching up dirtied player data.
Fixed many portals not supposed to warp players to "random spawnpoints".
Fixed Wind Walk not being cancellable by attacking.
Added meso drop data for many mobs that were missing mesos.
Enhanced arrow drop data, now dropping bundles instead of unitary items.
Fixed issues with several Aran change jobs crashing the player shortly after changing jobs.
Improved concurrency in MapleGuild, MapleAlliance and MaplePlayerShop.
New tools: MapleArrowFetcher and MapleMesoFetcher, that were used to compile the updated drop data info.
Fixed buff system behaving oddly if a buff has value zero, that would render some skills "broken".
Fixed players skipping maps when trying to access portals while under a poor Internet connection.
Fixed storage not disposing players properly in cases where the players does not meet the storage conditions.
Set some locks to use fairness strategy when dealing with atomic code, in order to make the calls to it properly synchronized.
Fixed Aran introductory questline stucking players when certain conditions were met.
Added drop data for some mob versions of Fairy, Yeti and Pepe.
Overhauled the HikariCP connection, now it properly tries the best to hand out a DB connection. Fixed "commands" NPC crashing out players when entering the command multiple times in a short time. Rebalanced HP/MP gain on leveling up/AP resetting. Rebalanced HP/MP loss when AP resetting to use the same amount they would be earning on levelup. Fixed EXP distribution now computing overall monster maxHP plus heal instead of flat monter maxHP, that rendered on distributions of over 100% of the raw EXP. Added concurrency protection on MapleMonster. Fixed an issue on venom skills that would let an "1 dmg" appear to the client alongside the DOT.
Implemented the "Arrange Items" Storage feature (merge & sort items on the Storage). Fixed items from different ownerships being merged together when trying to swap their positions. Fixed a bug where putting equipped pets onto Cash Shop inventory would cause a crash the returning to the game.
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 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 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 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.
Changed minimum level required to gain EXP of mob from -5 to -20 the mob level (players below that level sees a red-colored font when displaying higher-leveled mob HPbar). Thanks to DietStory dev team, fixed some quests for KoC.
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.
Added Water of Life. Fixed Shuang (GPQ) npc dc'ing the leader when first
trying to enter the waiting area. Fixed some cases with the revamped
buff system, that would not properly check for the best buffs in some
scenarios, and would throw exceptions, caused by not properly protecting
access to critical data.
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 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.
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).
