Hybrasyl Server 0.8.0 ("Saoirse")

  • Complete refactoring of monster AI and pathfinding. Most AI can now be modeled entirely in XML without the usage of Lua scripting.
  • Monsters now have stats, allocation of which can be controlled by a new XML type called BehaviorSet and happens automatically on spawn.
  • Monsters now have spell/skillbooks, the ability to use real castables, the ability to have weapons, and the ability to learn castables automatically on spawn.
  • Monsters can now define base types and subtypes (for instance Kobold -> Kobold Sage, Kobold Wizard)
  • Deprecate most usages of spawngroups. There is quite a lot of documentation for this in docs.
  • Begin refactoring how XML loading and ingesting occurs in Hybrasyl
  • Break up XML extensions into separate files
  • Add generic XML support for formulas, which will be used to define a variety of game effects that were previously statically defined
  • Allow creatures to express a variety of attack priorities (low/high threat, attacking caster, healer, etc) in XML
  • Add GRPC support for various functionality to integrate with new .NET account manager
  • Add slash command support (currently privileged only) for mass & class casting
  • Add support for social events (used initially for above)
  • Update to .NET Core 5
  • Refactor monster spawning to support new XML structures & new approach to spawns
  • Allow maps to be muted (e.g. for class casting)
  • Monsters will now prefix themselves based on level ("Trifling Goblin, Difficult Goblin, Deadly Goblin")
  • XP allocation for groups refactored
  • XP allocation for individual players refactored to be more reasonable and less grindy
  • Allow all creatures to have cookies / session cookies set (was previously players only)
  • Break up several monolithic files into separate components
  • Add support for calculating difference between two timestamps easily in Lua scripting
  • Add support for ignoring paths starting with .ignore in world directory
  • Replace formula parser / evaluator with NCalc now that it's available for .NET Core
  • Fix status application bug that would result in black screen on login if statuses were applied
  • Monsters now correctly respect statuses (freeze/sleep/etc)
