  • Updates for the Crossfire Wiki are also shown on the Recent Changes page

Archetypes

  • Add white and black leather cloaks as archetypes so that they can be created via formulae (r20943)
  • New archetype, sea_route (20965)
    • Sea routes are indistinguishable from normal sea tiles, except for the arch name
    • This helps automated travel objects (i.e., ships) distinguish between sea routes and plain old sea tiles

GTKv2 Client

  • Avoid unnecessary calls to draw_lists(), this speeds up inventory redraw when picking up and dropping many items (r20926)
  • Improvements for inventory display and handling (r20971 - r20976, r20980)

Maps

  • Minor cosmetic change to a cave wall section for nicer merging in Snake Pit, Level 5 (lake_country/snake_pit/snakepit_5) in Lake Country. No functional changes. (r20923)
  • Deposit boxes added to numerous world bank maps such as Brest, Darcap, Dragon Islan, City de Clouds, Navar, Lone Town, Nurnberg and Santo Dominion (r10951)
  • The Scorn General Store now sells writing pens and blank books for the literacy skill (r20955)
  • Code changes so the travel cart outside of Scorn can travel more quickly (r20961)
  • Smooth road between Scorn and Navar, the cart can now travel both ways between Scorn and Navar (r20961)
  • The travel cart will now always print/display a message when stopping (r10962)
  • The travel cart now costs 100 platinum (r20963)
    • Look for the payment altar outside of Eastern Gate of Scorn
    • This allows multiple players to use or operate the cart at one time
  • Smooth out the road between Scorn and Lake Country (r20966)
  • Smooth out the road between Scorn and Darcap (r20967)
  • Update Undead Training center (r20968)
    • Make exit from training center return to the original map, instead of teleporting back to Lake Country
    • Straighten the roads out a bit
  • Add roads in Fishing Village (world_123_123) (r20981)

Server

  • Improvements for socket buffer handling to prevent corrupt data being sent to the client, which can cause login issues for the player (r20928) 
  • Add login message for new characters with accounts in the server logs (r20935)
  • Make objects in icecubes decay slower (r20939)
    • This make it possible to “freeze” items such as Demon Ichor or Ghost Ecoplasm in ice cubes to make them last slightly longer
  • Stop destroying items based only on die roll (r20942)
    • Always look at the material type and resistances. Previously, immune objects could still be destroyed by attacks; for example, ice storm could cause an ice cube to unfreeze
  • Add artifacts and formulae for black/white leather cloaks (r20945)
  • Improve handling of formula check to handle cauldron and tool differences (r20946)
    • The server is able to handle two of the same recipes and produce different results based on what crafting table or cauldron the player is using
  • Changes with food calculations(r20956)
    • Dragons players are now subject to cursed food effects 
  • Slow players down if they eat too much (r20984)
    • Players who consume food that would go over the max 999, will now have short (about 1minute) movement and combat penalty - watch for the message “Eating the food ration makes you very full. You feel yourself moving much slower.”
    • When the affect is over - watch for the messages “You feel like you're moving faster.” and “You feel your digestion slowing down.”
  • Clarify stat change messages from effects like character death or depletion attacks or restored from Potions of Life or consuming a stat potion (r20985)
    • “Oh no! You are weakened!” → “You feel drained of strength.”
    • “You're feeling clumsy!” → “You feel drained of agility.”
    • “Your health deteriorates!” → “You feel drained of health.”
    • “You suddenly begin to lose your memory!” → “You feel drained of wisdom.”
    • “Your face gets distorted!” → “You feel drained of charisma.” 
    • “Watch out, your mind is going!” →“You feel drained of intelligence.”
    • “Your spirit feels drained!” → “You feel drained of power.”
    • “You feel your memory return.” → “You feel your intelligence return.”
    • “You feel your spirits return.” → “You feel your power return.”
    • “You lose some of your memory!” → “You feel foolish!”
