I cleaned up the code a bit (I'll clean it up more as I make more progress) and fixed a bug with buddy slots. Now buddies aren't overwritten!
A few reworks and adjustments
I reworked the buddyIDs array to store only player UIDs instead of IDs. I also reworked buddy deleting so that it deletes buddies from the array.
Code cleanup
Cleaned up some of the code. I mainly just removed useless helper methods.
* Only plain, printable ASCII is allowed for now.
* Local chat is now printed to the server console, but group chat is
still private
* Added a helper function to print character names and IDs
* Majority of mob debuff handling is moved to combatStep().
* Drain now kills the mob and does 40% overall damage.
* Bumped up active nano debuff durations, debuffs like drain linger longer but damage less.
* Debuffs are cleared upon mob death and retreating.
* Patched out vehicle off success packet spam
* Boosts and potions now cost the right amount (100 taros) and give the right quantity (100).
* Damage was tweaked slightly. At higher levels you are more likely to fall prey to rand().
* Enemies now use run animations during combat and retreating.
* Weapons will consume your batteries fully.
* Nerfed enemy damage at lower levels.
* Further reworked drain, uses a static variable as a timer (lastDrainTime)
* resendMobHP has been repurposed to drainMobHP.
* Players heal faster after a sizable cooldown.
* Nano type advantage is more noticeable during combat.
Implemented two more mission types + Tweaks
* Item delivery quests now work.
* Timed missions now work.
* All escort missions (type 6) are skipped.
* /minfo now also prints the terminator npc.
* Weapon battery consumption tweaked
* Fixed indentations.
* Heal nanos have better output (25% -> 35%)
* Damage formula had a slight tweak.
* Bugfixed weapon equipping.
* Other tweaks
* Nano drain power works, currently does 30% damage over a period of 3 seconds.
* Stun, Sleep and Snare powers will now run out of time on mobs.
* A few other adjustments to mob mobility.
* Warping into IZs and Fusion Lairs now will also take into account your group members.
* MobManager lerp does not confusingly divide speed by 2 anymore.
* Mobs pursue their targets more smoothly, they will avoid phasing into the player during combat.
* Nerfed retreat speed by a factor of 1.5, normal mobs retreated way too quickly however mobs like Don Doom and Bad Max do not retreat fast enough.
* Bugfixed sendPlayerTo, it did not call updatePlayerPosition leaving undesirable anomalies.
* Players/NPCs that initialize chunks now correctly pull their main chunk into their viewdata.
* Tested on the public server, seems to have solved the chunking issues.
* Add newly created chunks to nearby players and NPCs. This fixes the
slider/static path mob pop-in problem.
* Update a player's chunks when resurrecting. This fixes a mob desync
problem.
* Use a private instance for the Time Lab
* Spawn a slider for every stop
* Fix mobs in private lairs using the template chunk mobs's current
health for their max health
* Don't call into the JSON lib in the loop in aggroCheck(). This is an
optimization found after using gprof.
* Don't print NPC deletions to console. This stops the spam when a
private instance is deleted.
* Changed default view distance to half the length of a map tile, so
chunks are aligned to map tiles
* Update tdata reference
* /minfo returns your current active mission's: id, task id, task type, task objective marker id and enemy ids if applicable.
* /tasks returns all the active mission ids and task ids.
* The server now refuses to start if any JSONs fail to load
* Mobs now take height into account when losing aggro on a player
* Mobs now aggro on the closest player in range, rather then on the
earliest one to connect to the server of the ones in range
* /summonW now works in IZs and Lairs as well
* Lowered the extra height that mobs spawn at with /summonW to prevent
glitching problems
* Replaced bad exception logic with C-style error returns in ItemManager
* Removed unnecessary instances of objects being passed by value
* Fixed whitespace problems
* Added new config options to the default config.ini
* Updated tabledata reference
* FM, Taros and Boosts awards from killing mobs should be pretty
accurate now. A temporary formula for adjusting player/mob level gap is
implemented, but it will probably need to be adjusted in the future
* Mobs now drop correct crates
* Crates can be opened and give you correct items This includes
regular mob crates, world boss crates, mission crates, IZ race crates,
E.G.G.E.R.s, golden Eggs, and Event Crates. Keep in mind that neither
IZ races or golden Eggs are implemented, but if you spawn such a crate
it can be opened.
* All data is read from a json file, for which I'm going to release a
tool soon so it's easily adjustable
* There is a new setting for enabling events, which enables dropping
extra event crates These are Knishmas, Halloween and Easter
