Shardlist + Links Updated
Added a new(old) shard to the shard-list, Realms of Valor.

If anyone else are running(or constructing) UOX3 shards, feel free to forward links to their webpages to me so I can add them to my shard-list =)

Also, added a link to a new site - The UOX3 FAQ. It's a documentation site for UOX3, and anyone can submit entries in either of three sections; Main, DFNs and Javascript Engine. This will be a great site if it gets any users =)

Shardlist Updated
Added a new shard to the shard-list, Nimrasdale.

If anyone else are running(or constructing) UOX3 shards, feel free to forward links to their webpages to me so I can add them to my shard-list =)

Added cluox (Cloak-UOX) to Downloads
This is a remnant from the old days (january 2001, to be more specific), which still does the job it was created for. I was unable to find it up for download on any other webpages, and since I saw there was still considerable interest in this program I've added both cluox 1.02 and it's sourcecode to my downloads here at UOX3.org.

You'll find it at the bottom of the Files-page.

I've also removed Jediman's shard - Realms of Valor - from the shard-list, as further work on it has been terminated and the webpage changed to something else. If anyone else have any UOX3 shards up and running, or even under construction - and you have a webpage for it - forward the URL to me and I'll put up a link.

Shardlist Updated
Added a new shard to the shard-list, Ephermon.org UOX Server.

If anyone else are running(or constructing) UOX3 shards, feel free to forward links to their webpages to me so I can add them to my shard-list =)

0.97.04.1a on the CVS
The UOX3 CVS has been updated with the following changes:

Added:

• -JS Get/Set "vulnerable" handlers for character properties (Abaddon)[/*]
• -willHunger with Get/Set HungerStatus() wrappers to CChar class (can now selectively stop a character/creature from continuing to hunger)[/*]
• -JS Get/Set "willhunger" handlers for character properties[/*] Changed:
  
• Linux compile fixes (thanks Malketh)[/*]
• Hash.h warning fixed (thanks Philantrop)[/*]
• Fixes to getRootPack() and getPackOwner()[/*]
• Removed many #includes from the global scope, including them in the specific files that need them This should greatly reduce compile time and filesize, along with the need to recompile after altering most headers[/*]
• Removed the linux ifdefs around typedefd function declarations, this should work with gcc 3.2[/*]
• Moved global loading functions into a new cFileIO() class to take them out of global scope[/*]
• Fixed an issue causing items to not be sent to the client (thanks Malketh)[/*]
• Moved some global structs into the CWorldMain class[/*]
• Fixed a bug causing a crash on character / item creation[/*]
• Moved all effects stuff into its own class to take it out of global scope[/*]
• Changed the variable CChar::region to CChar::regionNum to avoid conflicts with the cTownRegion region[] indexes[/*]
• Moved getbestskill(), isHuman(), and inDungeon() into the CChar class to remove them from global scope[/*]
• Took npcSimpleAttackTarget() out of global scope[/*]
• Rewrote restock() to make use of restockNPC()[/*]
• Changed the typedef'd iterator in hash.h to HASHITERATOR to kill a Linux warning[/*]
• Renamed cEffects::soundeffect() to PlaySound() and removed unneeded overloads[/*]
• Fixed a bug causing executebatch to be set with locationcount data[/*]
• Rewrote cEffects::bgsound()[/*]
• Documented sounds.cpp[/*]
• Misc minor cleanups / fixes[/*] Removed:
  
• sendItemsInRange() (CChar::Teleport() does the same thing)
• Many #includes that were not being used
• deathMenu()
• respawnnow() and moved all of its code into command_respawn()
• one instance of cEffects::scpSoundEffect() and renamed the other to PlaySound()

Snapshot
For those of you who want to get the updated source-code without having to connect to the cvs, a snapshot of the changed source is available either here - uox3_v0_97_4_1a_src.zip - or over at UOX3Dev.net.

0.97.03.1h on the CVS
The changes:

• Fixed an issue allowing the server to not have a dictionary.ZRO (which would cause a crash when a dictionary entry was called with no language)
• Fixed an issue causing the server to puke when it attempted a restart
• Moved SpawnRandomItem() into cItem class
• Moved SpawnRandomMonster() into cCharHandle class
• Broke necro.dfn into fishing.dfn and digging.dfn
  NOTE: This means the removal of the NECRO folder & .dfn file, and the addition of two new folders - DFNDATA/FISHING and DFNDATA/DIGGING, with the respective .dfn files in each. Splitting the necro.dfn file should be relatively easy, the top contains fishing and the bottom contains gravedigging stuff.
• Made better use of SpawnRandomItem() and SpawnRandomMonster()
• Moved many global vars into the CWorldMain() class
• Cleaned ResetVars() in uox3.cpp as ResetDefaults() in CWorldMain() now handles much of that
• Added a check to ensure text wasn't sent twice in talking(), should fix double-speech
• Cleaned up cmdtable.cpp removing a couple duplicate entries, etc
• Changed target() to only require 4 values (as the first two were always 0 and 1)
• Removed many unneeded typedefs and globals
• Went through cServerData() and noted unused server.ini entries
• Moved title1(), title2(), and title3() to cClick.cpp since that is their only usage, made use of MAX_TITLE to ensure we wouldn't overrun the buffers, and renamed them matching what title they were
• CPOpenGump and CPSpeech packet class to remove some global vars (Note these are pretty basic classes and someone with a better understanding of how we handle sending/recieving packets could probably expand these to make better use of them)

Another CVS snapshot
Another snapshot of the UOX3 sourcecode is available at http://www.uox3.org/files/uox3_v0_97_3_1f_src.zip. Reported to contain small fixes and touchups to the source, as well as a possible fix for the "double-speech" bug from 0.97.3.1..

DFNs Updated
The UOX3 DFNs (more specifically, the ITEMS-part of the DFNs) have been received several changes and updates - including extensive use of the GET= tag which have reduced the size of the touched DFNs quite a lot. You can access them over at Kirre's Site. Other additions include AoS Weapons and Third Dawn clothes. The itemmenu has also been changed.

NOTE: These new item-DFNs will only work correctly with a version of UOX3 which has been updated to read sub-directories correctly.

UOX3 CVS Finally Updated Again

• Weight-System completely rewritten
• NPC Movement issues addressed (pets/attackers follow quicker, npc movement speed overall slowed down)

Happy Newyear, everyone!
Hopefully the new year will bring us lots of nice updates for UOX3 ;) As a starter, the JS Docs have been updated with the following information:

Added: onTalk event. Updated: onCreate, onDelete, onCollide, onSteal, onDispel, onSkill, onSkillGain, onSkillLoss
Currently Broken-comment added to: inRange(event), onAttack, onDefense

Starting with the above update, I'll be crawling through the JS Docs in the next few days (and weeks?:) on a mission to update the information for all Events and Functions/Methods that I possibly can, which will hopefully make it easier for all the would-be UOX3JS-Scripters.

On a side note, I have added a link to UOX3 "Unofficial", a new (unofficial;) project to rewrite UOX3. Perhaps parts of this UOX3-branch can be merged into the official UOX3 source(homepage at http://www.uox3dev.net) in the future. :)
