- Changed: 1.67 is not supported anymore
- New: 1.68 is supported now!!!
Important Note: You now MUST download and use the 1.68+ launcher from
our main homepage "http://www.dolserver.com" in the download section.
(http://www.dolserver.com/fileadmin/down ... der168.zip)

- !!N O T E!!
I have tested the 1.68 version just a little bit. It might still contain
lots of bugs in the packet-structure or even in sending/receiving etc.
It worked for me, but I have not test it completly! Use with care, this
is the initial debug version for 1.68, so don't expect anything...

- TODO: Fix the equipment packet to new format (see forum) ...
(equiped weapons on npcs and players might not appear to others)

Smallhorse (5.Jun.2004):
- New: UseSlotHandler.cs ... initial checkin for future weaponswitch using the iconbar
- New: Items made stackable (came across this when I wanted to make arrows
InventoryItems & ItemTemplates have a "IsStackable" optional attribute now.
If two items are stackable and their template_id is equal, then they are stacked
in the inventory. The count is stored in the InventoryItem.Count property and
is updated automatically in the DB when you stack items, destack items, move stacks,
etc.
TODO: Change name of items in inventory Now="15 TestItem" Should="15 TestItems"
"You drop the TestItem" -> "You drop 15 TestItems"
"You pick up the TestItem" -> "You pick up 15 TestItems"...
- New: Added two methods to the PacketLib
SendDebugMessage -> to send a simple debug message to a client with optional formating
eg. xxx.Out.SendDebugMessage("Value0={0}, Value1={1}",123,321);
On the client this looks like: "[DEBUG] Value0=123 Value1=321" in the System Window
SendDebugPopupMessage -> same as SendDebugMessage but in an own popup window
- New: Added some helper methods to the GM scripts (mostly untested though!) I just hated
dieing when testing some new functions against mobs
"/givexp <ammount>" to give your target <ammount> XP
"/heal" to completely heal your target (if no target->self) including mana,endu,health
"/harm <ammount>" to hit your target for <ammount> damage

- New: *) GameServer has debug levels now look at GameServer.cs
*) New debug levels can be defined by simply adding the flag to the eDebugLevels enum
*) Debug levels can be tested with GameServer.Instance().IsDebugLevel(eDebugLevels.xxx)
*) During DEBUG builds ALL debug flags are set automatically, on release builds none
*) Debug flags can be set/removed while the gameserver is running by choosing the flags
in the GameServer/Debug levels/xxx menu of the GameServer console
*) Please whenever making debug output in the Console or to the player or anything,
make a debug-flag test now (and change the old code) and if needed implement a new flag
This will help us get unneccessary debug output removed instantly on release builds and
still leaves us the option open to check a debug flag at runtime if we need more debug
output

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SmallHorse (18.Jun.2004):
- New: Added a "Send Packet" entry to the player-list in the GameServer.
This is an admin only feature and very useful for developers!

Clicking on this menu entry in the context menu for a playing
player will bring up a packet dialog where you can enter a custom
packetcode and custom packet data that you can send to this player.

The dialog currently also displays the player's SessionID, ObjectID
as well as the player's target ObjectID in hex values for use in the
packet to send.

This dialog has already prooven very successfull and useful during
my ranged attack and combat animation tests. It let's you play around
with packets on the fly and with ease...

Note on usage: Simply enter the packet-code you want to send eg. "BC" and
in the textarea enter hex values seperated by space, comma or semicolon.
Eg. "0B 95 00 00 02 3A 00 00 F4 33 80 00"

The target OID etc. information is refreshed on a 2.5 second basis or by
clicking the "Refresh Values" button.

When you are finished, simply close the dialog with the X button...
If the player exits, zones, or goes out of playing-mode somehow, the
dialog is automatically closed too.

Happy packet testing!

- Bugfix: Switching weapons with quickbar icons now correctly updates the
WeaponSkill etc.
- New: Introduced enum for ranged attack state in GameLiving. This is just a little
add and won't enable anything to do with ranged attacks just yet, lots more
for ranged combat will follow soon when I have finished tests.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SmallHorse (16.Jun.2004):
- Changed: You can now activate weapons that you are wielding by pulling
their icons to your quickbar and then clicking on them! Also

- Bugfix: Stacking items were not saved at the new position when moving
them, they always stayed at the same location unless you moved
them to the same slot twice ...

- New: Added "Player just entered the game!" message
