Crossfire+ 2.0
by Marc A. Lehmann (http://freshmeat.net/~pcg1/)
Tue, Mar 6th 2007 08:15

About:
Crossfire+ is a friendly fork of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability,
while also adding more maps and better scriptability and graphics.

Changes:
Large parts of the server have been rewritten. Map loading and saving and
most I/O is done asynchronously, eliminating I/O-based lag. The server now
regularly writes maps and players so data loss on crash is minimised. Over
40 Perl extensions such as a IRC gateway, transports, playershop and
minesweeper are available. The map system is now completely pluggable (fo
example, the world map is generated on the fly from an overlay). The file
formats have been cleaned up and improved and use a faster parser now. And
last not least a persistent database is available for data storage.

About:
Crossfire+ is a friendly fork of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability,
while also adding more maps and better scriptability and graphics.

Changes:
The map editor now features auto-joining and a large number of minor
bugfixes. The server underwent some rebalancing: draining effects have
been severely reduces, and playerkilling is now only possible when both
players are hostile. Furthermore, rods are now limited to the
use_magic_item level of the caster (+ a rod-dependent bonus to high-level
rods are still worthwhile for lower-level players). Staffs and wands stay
as they are, so they can potentially become more useful again. A generic
perl evaluation event plug-in is available to map builders now.

tell/chat/shout functionality has been rewritten, and it's now possible to
ignore other people. Last but not least, a suicide command has been added

mailscrolls are handed out correctly. There are many bugfixes and
enhancements in the random map generator. The invite messages have some
hints now, and shops don't mark items in which they have no interest as
unpaid. The game core was enhanced and fixed a lot to improve the overall
stability and vitality of the code. Kill and death statistics for players
have been implemented.

About:
Crossfire+ is a friendly fork of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability,
while also adding more maps and better scriptability and graphics.

Changes:
Server shutdown now cleanly saves all players and maps, even on "unholy
ground", so items no longer get lost by clean shutdowns. Swarm spells
(meteor swarm, bullet swarm) once again work on every type of floor.
"Earth to dust" now correctly removes all destructible walls. The server
now tries to pack as many commands into a single TCP segment as possible,
which both reduces latency and cuts the number of packets sent by half,
making gameplay much smoother and reducing lag. The banking system was
rewritten and is more flexible. For example, it now accepts smaller
coinage.

also adds modern technology such as map scripting, Perl server extensions,
asynchronous I/O, higher resolution graphics, and better client support.

Many bugs were fixed in this release, and one of them was a serious crash
bug. A tagged destination feature has been added to connect maps. Many
maps were moved to the worldmap for a more consistent world. The tutorial
map for new players has been seriously improved. Old code has been rooted
out, which shrunk the code size considerably. For better interaction with
the world and chatting with other players, channels were added.

About:
Crossfire+ is a friendly fork of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability,
while also adding more maps and better scriptability and graphics.

Changes:
This release adds (Linux-specific) fast timeout code that kicks players out
when the client doesn't ack data after 20 seconds. This makes it possible
to quickly re-login after a "catastrophic" even such as losing your
Internet connection. Also, player-stealing between hostile players is now
possible. The scorn bank has been upgraded with a new script that accepts
any currency, including the new "royalties", and was extended with better
converters and a quest. Some undo bugs were fixed in GCE (the editor),
along with a context menu for adding stuff to the inventory to monsters on
the map.

the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability, but

Changes:
The main changes were fixes for serious crash bugs. Backtraces from old
spells on some maps were sometimes causing crashes. The facedata wasn't
correctly initialized, leading to immediate crashes on login. Weapons are
now assigned at user load time to avoid crashes. Additionally, copyrights
were updated to reflect the new project name, as were some other parts of

Changes:
The traffic and processing speed of movement across tiled map boundaries
has been optimized, along with some fixes in the archetypes and maps. A
crash which occurred when a player cast a swarm spell and logged out was
fixed. Skills no longer remain in the range/combat slots when they are
unapplied. Locked doors can't be destroyed anymore, as this spoiled some
quests considerably. Last but not least, some merging issues with some

About:
Crossfire+ is a friendly fork of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike

Changes:
Friendly fire logic has been fixed to allow Player-vs.-Player attacks on
battlegrounds without having to chose the hostile path anymore, so player
duels in the arena work as expected. Several balancing adjustments have
been made: skill and enchantment scrolls have been made rarer, the
generators in raffle1 have been reduced in numbers, stealing from monsters
no longer yields ridiculous amounts of experience, and ghosts drop less
ectoplasm. All banks on the continent have been renewed. Two crashing bugs
have been fixed.

Deliantra is an advancement of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability, but
also adds modern technology such as map scripting, Perl server extensions,
asynchronous I/O, higher resolution graphics, and better client support.

Changes:
As temporary measurement against the bad performance of dropping and
picking up things, the number of items that can be dropped or picked up is
now limited. The main event loop was switched from the Event module to the
EV module for higher performance and easier usage. The version of the GNU
Affero license has been updated.

Crossfire+ 2006-07-01
by Marc A. Lehmann (http://freshmeat.net/~pcg1/)
Sun, Jul 2nd 2006 07:41

About:
Crossfire+ is a friendly fork of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability,
while also adding more maps and better scriptability and graphics.

Changes:
Two long-standing bugs have been fixed: disarming multiple traps could send
the server into a tight loop, and a buffer overflow when saving maps that
could be caused by users has been fixed. The economy system has been
mostly rewritten and rebalanced: bargaining skill now governs most of the
prices, and true prices are achievable for those with high skill. Last not
least, the server now prefetches maps from disk asynchronously, so chances
that loading a map freezes the server shortly under heavy I/O situations
have been greatly reduced.

Deliantra Server 2.4
by Marc A. Lehmann (http://freshmeat.net/~pcg1/)
Sun, Jan 13th 2008 08:05

About:
Deliantra is an advancement of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability, but
also adds modern technology such as map scripting, Perl server extensions,
asynchronous I/O, higher resolution graphics, and better client support.

Changes:
Lots of bugfixes went into this release. The most serious were crashes in
the golem move code on map borders, a freeze bug when looking for an arrow
in the inventory, a crash in animate weapon, the server exiting on certain
exceptions, and a potential double free() bug. Some feature improvements
were also added: a client-side settings page was implemented with the new
server-side widget protocol and some more file operations are now
asynchronous. Players can now also safely disconnect when they are on top
of a savebed.

About:
Crossfire+ is a friendly fork of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability,
while also adding more maps and better scriptability and graphics.

Changes:
Prices have been reduced overall to lower the difference between low and
high-level players and reduce the amounts of coinage you have to take with
you. The treasure lists have been reworded so monsters drop more wealth and
less garbage items. The mana-fountain quest has been added. The Perl
extension now supports use of the Event module for event-oriented
programming. A bug in the banking script has been fixed. The OpenGL client
has officially entered the Alpha release stage.

Deliantra Server 2.41
by Marc A. Lehmann (http://freshmeat.net/~pcg1/)
Fri, Jan 25th 2008 13:28

About:
Deliantra is an advancement of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability, but
also adds modern technology such as map scripting, Perl server extensions,
asynchronous I/O, higher resolution graphics, and better client support.

Changes:
The jewelery skill had a major bug where the configuration file wasn't
parsed correctly. Reloading the Perl interface doesn't freeze the game
ticks anymore. The server utility was upgraded to another event loop
module. The tombstones of players who died in a cave-in are now put on the
real map and not on their savebed anymore.

About:
Crossfire+ is a friendly fork of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability,
while also adding more maps and better scriptability and graphics.

Changes:
The difficulty calculations for maps were adjusted, together with the
generation of scrolls, rods, etc., which are now more close to the map
difficulty. The post office code has been rewritten in Perl, and extended
with some nice features like live notification of arrived email, and mail
notification for received packages. Earthwalls block monsters' sight.
Players don't automatically face north after a timeout. Spells are now
implementable in Perl. The server is now compiled as C++.

Deliantra Server 2.42
by Marc A. Lehmann (http://freshmeat.net/~pcg1/)
Sat, Mar 15th 2008 11:48

About:
Deliantra is an advancement of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability, but
also adds modern technology such as map scripting, Perl server extensions,
asynchronous I/O, higher resolution graphics, and better client support.

Changes:
The default experience table has been rebalanced to be more exponential and
much easier up to around level 40, at which point it becomes moderately
harder. The attuned/repelled level bonuses were also adjusted from +-2 to
+-8. On reload/load errors, the server won't exit but will properly
cleanup. A 32-bit uncleanliness in the slice debugging wrapper was fixed.

Crossfire+ 2006-09-17
by Marc A. Lehmann (http://freshmeat.net/~pcg1/)
Sat, Sep 16th 2006 21:58

About:
Crossfire+ is a friendly fork of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability,
while also adding more maps and better scriptability and graphics.

Changes:
The plug-in system has been completely rewritten: scripts can now be
attached to maps, players, individual objects, classes of objects, and so
on. The map loading and saving has been sped up by 500% and now saves
script data attached to any object. Object memory management has been
cleaned up and now uses proper reference counting. Shared strings have
been rewritten to be faster and more efficient. A trade shop for players
has been implemented and lots more.

Wed, Apr 16th 2008 10:23

About:
Deliantra is an advancement of the crossfire multi-user RPG game. Unlike
the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and playability, but
also adds modern technology such as map scripting, Perl server extensions,
asynchronous I/O, higher resolution graphics, and better client support.

Changes:
The currency system has been refactored: 1 gold coin is now worth 100
silver coins, 1 platinum coin is worth 100 gold coins, and 1 royalty is
worth 100 platinum coins. The uuid (object ID) file format has been
changed and is written asynchronously now, fixing possible hiccups in the
server. Refactoring and cleanup of memory management in the random map
generator, fixing a minor memory leak. Converters no longer accept unpaid
items, preventing exploitation of possible bugs in shops. There are many
minor refactorings and cleanups all over the server code and archetypes.
