Changeset 324

Scheme Buffer, Misc

Scheme Buffer
    - addition of Dr House scheme buffer, remasterized by me. The big differences are :
        - buffer buffs aren't loaded from a mySQL table, but from a Config line from npcs.properties (String split > register on Map).
        - there is no L2Skill storage anywhere, only Integers (skillId). The skillLevel is generated from SkillTable getMaxLevel().
        - the schemes loading/save is made GLOBALLY (understand, not on player login). Save is still done on server shutdown.
        - the players schemes buffs lists are stored on a single varchar, which is parsed with String split method (before there was one entry on the database per skill).
        - fix all godamn typos and broken english.
        - statified HTMs content when it could be.
        - reworked the "Edit my schemes" button to be more logical : select a scheme, THEN a skill group, THEN a buff. The HTM content also scales with that progression to make it intuitive.
        - added infos everywhere (such as current selected scheme, number of max buffs allowed, number of current buffs per scheme,...)
        - added "Heal" and "Cleanup effects" buttons (affect your current pet aswell).
        - the HTM system uses getHtmlPath(), meaning a different buffer npcId can be linked to different HTMs (unique dialogues for each buffer instance).
        
Misc
    - [L2J 6498] Drop double iterations on pet/player inventories deletion.
    - [L2J 6382] FourSepulchersManager cleanup - drop Map .remove(), use Map.Entry instead of keySet() + .get(), format the class.
    - addition of method broadcastTitleInfo() which uses TitleUpdate packet ; complete RequestGiveNickName clientpacket (adding numerous messages). Ty Root.
    - fix getMaxLevel() method, broken with Trove changeset.
    
PS : the Scheme Buffer is a first shot. If you manage to propose better/easier organization, I would eventually take it.

Changeset 326

Recipes / Craft, TradeController, Misc

Recipes / Craft
    - Drop L2RecipeInstance (use ItemHolder instead)
    - Fix a NPE on RecipeTable listItems method and rework it to use ItemHolder. All missing items for a craft are now listed, with good quantities (not only sending the first missing mat).
    - Merge RecipeTable updateCurMp() && updateCurLoad() methods into updateStatus() - from 2 StatusUpdate packets sent to 1.
    - fix the "ghost" success message on crafting window when you simply open a recipe.

TradeController
    - move TradeController into datatables and renamed it BuyListTable.
    - drop merchants.sql table (unused).
    - XMLize 2 SQL tables, merchant_buylists && merchant_shopids. The dynamic content (aka limited stock) is still loaded/save on SQL.
    - created a new package model.buylist, moved L2TradeList inside it and renamed it NpcBuyList and Product (that class was holding two classes, so it is splitted).
    - general cleanup and improvements, from latest L2J Nos changeset. No more 3min shutdown trying to save buylists stuff...
    - the data used is the latest aCis one, plus roko91 changes, minus few empty buylists linked to nothing, and the "Coin Collector Album" restock timer.
    
Misc
    - rework AdminEditNpc adminhandler :
        - drop stuff regarding pages generation (for shoplists and skills, as such commands never send more than 10 entries).
        - secure user input (try/catch).
    - Drop L2Attackable.RewardItem (use ItemHolder instead), TradeItem (clone class existing in another class), move NewItem inside DocumentItem (just to keep it similar to DocumentSkill, but both needs a rework...).
    - Edit _sweepItems / _harvestItems arrays for Lists, make them final (heavier RAM costs, but avoid arrays based operations, Lists creations, null checks are replaced by !isEmpty() and .clear() is used instead of creating another object).
    - Rename and move few "items based" classes on 'model.item' package.
    - Rename ItemsAutoDestroy to ItemsAutoDestroyTaskManager and move it on 'gameserver.taskmanager' package.
    - Edit ItemHolder (drop the unused objectId int, add setters).
    - Drop unused stuff from DropData, isQuestDrop() being always false (quests items aren't handled by droplists, but scripts...).
    - [L2J 5962] Fix a possible deadlock on player charges.
    - [L2J 5374] Reset the delete task on charges add/remove (avoid to get your charges dropped like an idiot after 10min...).
    - canInteract() is used as check for onBypassFeedback() call, impacting all NPC bypasses. Before it was used only on L2Npc, meaning children classes bypasses weren't covered by the check (such as dead, sit and etc states).
    - drop a double tempInventoryDisable() use, and move the method use after buylist checks (avoiding to freeze your inventory for nothing).
    - fix QuestList() serverpacket implementation (could lead to some null), setting the current player as parameter. Ty SweeTs for report.
    
PS : RequestBypassToServer sends by default ActionFailed.STATIC_PACKET after a command call. It's not needed to call it.

Changeset 327

GrandBossManager, Misc

GrandBossManager
    - Edit GrandBossManager to use a singleton, to fit with overall project writing style.
    - "Allowed players" system :
        - Move the initialization AFTER zones loading (it wasn't making any errors, but the system wasn't working).
        - Reworked it to simply use .add(, instead to set it using a temporary List.
        - Use an index system based on zoneId to avoid to search/retrieve current L2GrandBoss zone info on every SQL raw (it's doable since we order the query by ZONE and not by PLAYER anymore).

Misc
    - Fix 2 NPEs on 2 quests, due to Trove drop (Trove was handling null by returning 0, while Java Map simply send null). Ty Root for fix.
    - Fix a NPE on itemid 8811. Ty sahar for report.
    - Add skill names on scheme buffer, using kdDer64 buffer graphic style. Also edit the extends in order to be invul. Ty sahar for patch.
    - Added few missing restock delays on Interlude spellbooks. Ty rebelstrik for report.
    - Move setPledgeClass() call leading to rank miscalculation for heroes on player restore, ty sahar.
    - Some Hasha TODO list :
        - Drop L2Skill._displayId, getter/setter. Replaced by getId().
        - getAvailableHenna() is edited from array to List. Drop external null checks, as it is empty at worst.
        - Rename few packets typos, such as ware*H*ouse / withdraw*AL*
        - Drop DoorTable.putDoor(), single use.
        - Edited TaskSevenSignsUpdate _log definition (task system needs to be edited anyway).

[SweeTs]

Changeset 328

"Stat" classes, Misc

"Stat" classes
    - Reworked HP/MP/CP players calculation, dropping 3 Func and overriding existing methods.
    - Random cleanup (drop null checks, use getActiveChar() directly, and other misc).
    - getPhysicalAttackRange() : range isn't calculated anymore for NPCs (template value is final value), and default value for players follows WeaponType (drop bow range Func).

Misc
    - Cleanup L2MultiSell, splitting it in different classes : MultisellData, and a model package holding few models.
    - Fix a ClassCastException, and rework Raid Boss Curse on skill cast.
    - Fix a NPE on L2PcInstance.doDie( : it wasn't verifying pk clan status.
    - Edit some values which got no use to be long (avoid some int > long casts).
    - getClosestTown() : added a Race check for teleport (D.Elf / L.Elf).
    - Fix FuncEnchant for S grade weapons, BigBlunt/BigSword types and drop NONE type - Ty Hasha.

Changeset 334

 

GeoEngine rework - a big thanks to Hasha for this awesome piece of code !

 

The Readme.txt on "data/geodata" is updated with numerous important informations regarding geodata types && configurations. Consider to read it !

 

General

• Moved all geoengine related stuff to one package.
  
• Massive cleanup/split/rework of all geoengine classes.
  
• Created geoengine.properties config file, removed unnecessary variables.
  
• Certain variables merged with L2World.
  

 

GeoData

• Removed unnecessary interface and SingletonHolder, pure inheritance is used now.
  
• Dropped canEnterDirection() methods and Direction class, as replacement added getNSWE(...) method, which returns directly geocell NSWE byte (four flags) loaded from geodata files -> avoid getting same geocell data multiple times.
  
• Regions are loaded according to config file definition.
  
• Added posibility to load L2J and L2OFF geodata.
  
• Implemented new geodriver with new geodata storage approach (kept in Blocks).
  
• Removed method concerning LoS and movement, now geodata contains only physical description of the terrain.
  
• Point3D and Location cleanup, NodeLoc now extends Location...for better usage in future.
  
• Spawn Z coord is now compared with geo Z. When it differs too much, use spawn Z instead of geo Z -> fix spawn problems.
  
• Slight rework of geodrivers, now they differ between each other only in storage system.
  
• Geodata type is set by config, each geodriver loads correct geodata regardless geodata type.
  
• Added geodata path to config (you can move them to specific folder, not only /data/geodata).
  
• GeoDriverArray is fastest geodata container at the moment. Kept GeoDriverBlock for some test purposes. Both work just fine.
  

 

GeoDataConverter

• Added native support for geodata converter.
  
• Creates diagonal (*.L2D) geodata files from L2J (*.L2J) or L2OFF (*_conv.DAT) ones.
  
• Converter can be launched using "GeoDataConverter.bat/sh" after pack building.
  

 

PathChecker

• Various scrapes of code put together to create PathChecker class.
  
• Additionally reworked, less code better performance.
  
• Performs “see” or “can move” checks for movement, attack and spelluse systems.
  
• Splitted “see” and “can move” checks. "see" is way easier and faster.
  
• Added Z coord calculations -> fixed problem with seeing over flat obstacles and floors.
  
• PathPointChecker merged with into PathFinding package (more logical, better for future changes).
  
• Recoded LoS checks, more durable, during one iteration checking both LoS directions.
  
• LoS now taking object height in consideration, added 2 configs for LoS checks (percent of height of the object, where starts the LoS check line and max obstackle height, which can exceed this virtual line).
  
• using this inheritance structure Pathfinding -> PatchChecker -> CellPathFinding depending on geodata setting (GeoData: 0..door checks, 1..door and geodata checks, 2..door and geodata checks and pathfinding.
  
• Big rework of canSee check, should be faster, more transparent and also fixes several wrong evaluated cases (thank you guys for report).
  
• PathChecker is loaded correctly according to the config setting (standard/diagonal).
  

 

PathFinding

• Removed GeoPathFinding classes, CellPathFinding is used as default.
  
• Removed SingletonHolder, added support to load own pathfinding system.
  
• All buffers are loaded during initialization.
  
• Cleaned up path post-filter -> fixed famous NPE error, no javolution needed.
  
• Equation for A* node weight corrected -> leads to getting better optimized path.
  
• Fixed weird movement between path nodes.
  
• PathFinding using same loading model as GeoData (Null... or Cell...), provides better usage of PathFinding (no need to check GeoData config setting everytime you access PathFinding).
  
• Since we are in beta, remove debug system.out messages.
  
• Slight adjustment of post filter when the path is calculated...should make now no world->geo->world->geo coordinates calculations
  
• Big rework of coordinate containers. Point3D transformed to Location (world XYZ); Location transformed to SpawnLocation (world XYZ, heading); NodeLoc transformed to GeoLocation (geo XYZ, nswe); all are using inheritance, all can be combined together.
  
• PathFinding is loaded correctly according to the config setting (standard/diagonal).
  
• Reverted back a part of code, which causing path to lead 1 cell away of obstacle (helps to avoid corners), added new config "ObstacleMultiplier" to multiply weight of such cell by X.
  
• Improved path post-filter to do all steps in one iteration -> cleaner, faster and drop of "MaxPostfilterPasses" config.
  
• Created new A* pathfinding algorithm (CellPathFindingDiagNew), it uses dynamic lists, it is possible to construct path in difficult/multilayer terrains, available only for DIAG geodata now, though bit slower than current 2D array A* -> deserves cleanup/rework to gain better speed.
  
• Created new JPS pathfinding algorithm (CellPathFindingJps), which is basicly A* with hefty rules. BE AWARE, it is for test purpose only, since it is semi-functional (only short and "easy" distances are OK) and available only for DIAG geodata. Possible to improve in the future.
  
• Character no longer stop moving, but continue in execution of the path, when you click to un-reachable destination.
  
• CellPathFindingNewDiag: now calculates estimated minimal size of open-list buffer and set it as initial value...should lead to less array resize.
  
• Reworked several configs and config file.
  

 

AdminCommands

• Following commands dissapear :
  

1. admin_show_path
   
2. admin_path_debug
   
3. admin_show_pn
   
4. admin_geo_z
   
5. admin_geo_type
   
6. admin_geo_nswe
   
7. admin_geo_los
   
8. admin_geo_position
   

• Following commands appear :
  

1. admin_geo_pos
   
2. admin_geo_can_see
   
3. admin_geo_can_move_beeline
   

• server_menu.htm ("Server" tab from //admin) is edited to reflect changes on geodata commands.
  

 

Misc

• updated the geodata Readme.txt with important informations.
  
• added a map with blocks names, and unsupported blocks (ty RooT).

Changeset 338

Tasks Managers - by Hasha

General
    - Task managers are using directly Runnable interface, not nested class anymore.
    - Iteration methods are changed from for-each to iterator -> support element removal during iteration.
    
AttackStanceTaskManager
PvpFlagTaskManager
WaterTaskManager
    - Use of Map.Entry instead of keySet() / get(), leading to an performance boost on all existing tasks.

DecayTaskManager
    - Moved checks for decay delay to "add" method ; iteration compares and doesn't calculate.
    - Added new method for corpse action (Corpse Drain Life, Harvest, Sweep).

GameTimeTaskManager
    - New manager created from 2 sources.
    - Implements old TakeBreakTaskManager, to notify long activity for players.
    - Implements ingame time system from old GameTimeController, to handle day/night cycle && spawns, plus Shadow Sense skill.

ItemsOnGroundTaskManager
    - New manager created from 2 sources.
    - Implements old ItemsAutoDestroyTaskManager to destroy items on ground.
    - Implements old ItemsOnGroundManager, to save dropped items on ground.
    - New configs, which are more logical and have better usage.
    - Reworked drop methods to support new interface of the manager.
    - The processes of save/load items to/from database are simplified.
    - Cursed weapons can be now picked by anyone, no longer drop-protected to killer/killer party.

KnownListUpdateTaskManager
    - Fix a bug which was forcing all regions to update knownlist, when at least 1 player was detected in a region.
    - Full update for NPCs is performed much more often now, since there are NPCs, which need it (e.g. Cabale buffers).
    - Cleanup/sort all knownlist classes.

MovementTaskManager
    - Created from old GameTimeController.
    - Handles only characters movement (keep max priority thread design).
    - Remove game time ticks system, everything is calculated using real time (attack, bow attack, cast break, movement, etc) -> leading to:
        - Improved accuracy of movement, thought there is still issue with it (requires next rework)
        - fixed bow attack delay with high attack speed
        - fixed bow attack & skill cast/movement, skill is now casted/movement is performed after bow attack is completed

ShadowItemTaskManager
    - New manager.
    - No longer 1 created task per equipped shadow item, shadow items are now handled by a single task.
    - Mana ticking is now handled with higher precision (each second instead of each minute).
    - Thanks to previous, equip/unequip/equip a shadow item no longer decrease timer by 1 minute per equip.
    - Fixed an inventory bug when equipped shadow item disappears.
