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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
As Suggested by Alex-0000, migrated from DBCP to HikariCP (uses less
external JARs and got a cleaner code overall). Fixed some issues
regarding pets, such as evolving or hatching from egg. Added dojo skills
and fixed energy bar. Added missing upgrade books on drop data.
Added MagatiaPQ. Fixed a bug on Dojo where parties quitting the boss
fight without completing until rest point couldn't not start Dojo again
w/o reforming the party. Fixed issues with 2nd job NPC scripts. Reverted
command layout to use "!" and "@" again.
Added antibanish mechanics: as like other "diseases" that can be treated
with some useable items, banish will be able to be recovered as well.
Fixed some SQL issues introduced on the last commit, as well as
lingering inexistent ids on drop data. Fixed some concurrency issues
with MapleMapFactory. Set a ceiling for simultaneous items available per
map, where old ones are promptly discarded. Patched MWLB attack block
for higher level GMs.
