- Added map caching supporting all maps. Due to this, sectors are no longer
same in the same spot in different maps, allowing local settings for maps.
- Added ADDCIRCLE=x[,y] to add a circle to a character's spellbook. If y is on,
includes all lower spell circles as well.
- File locking method optimised. It should improve the multithreading a bit.
- Changed [SECTOR x,y] in world saves to x,y,0,map to allow local settings for
sectors in different maps. Old format will default to map 0.
- Since sectors are no longer shared witheen different maps, sectors on maps,
unsupported by server (having no corresponding .mul files) do not get ticks.
- Fixed cause to duplicate saved items in static saves in several occasions.
- Added BADSPAWN command to jump to the first bad spawn found in the world. You
should add this to some of the [PLEVEL records. It also saves the UID into
ACT in case you unable to see it due to some obstacles.
- Removed useless PRIVHIDE (privshow 0/1 is enough for this).
10-12-04, Vjaka
- Fixed some defmessages misprint making unable to override them.
- Fixed @Kill to trigger even if the killer is not an agressor in the fight.
- Changed MAPPLANE->MAP, LOCALLIGHT->LIGHT (.56a supported both variants, but
saved the second). Launch and save in .56a will autoconvert this in saves.
- Now any items with ATTR_STATIC are saved to spherestatics.scp, not only those
who has this flag being the only set.
- Fixed carriage return in accounts unused message.
11-12-04, Furio
- Fixed: bugs with FORCONT* loops.
- Fixed: bug with coloured text in comm crystal.
- Added: SKILLGAIN function to call internal sphere skillgain function. Args are
skill to gain and difficulty (0 to 100).
- Added: REPORTEDCLIVER property for clients. It'll contain the version that
the client is. (this is easy fakeable by 3rd party programs, but still is
useful)
13-12-04, Vjaka
- Fixed resolving functions executing on containers, if the name started from
rescount,restest,fcount or count.
- Fixed isneartype not working if calling under points (like from TARGP).
17-12-04, Vjaka
- Account delete information now contains account name.
- Added NPC keyword GOTO x,y,z,map to execute sphere default movements there.
- Redone pathfinding to support separate thread execution, so it now utilizes
extra thread if OF_Multithreaded is set.
- Advanced AI now includes food search on hunger to eat and gather meal around.
It is executed in separate thread with pathfinding if configured so.
21-12-04, Vjaka
- Changed sector allocations, now allocates only those who are needed by the
server depending on the *.mul files found. Thus, on bare t2a install no space
for other maps will be allocated (saves several Mbytes).
- Random selection {x y} now supports format {x,y} also. Should help using it
with DAM/AR fields of items.
- Added EXP field to characters. No internal support for it yet. But you can
use it in scripts already.
- Empty accounts file is created on-fly if not found. Useful for unpack-n-run.
- Fixed bug with TOTALCONNECTTIME being increased by doubled value, and now is
made more accurate.
- Optimized the UID allocation routine, trying to disallow creating holes in
objects allocation. This should improve memory neccessaty increase for large
or long-lasting servers. Howewer, this does not defrag the current save, only
newly generated UIDs will be optimized - no existant UIDs will be altered.
Garbage Collection should be enabled for this optimization to work.
- Expanded account information in ACCOUNT NAME command by logged char name.
03-01-05, Vjaka
- Added as a shortcut to . Can take either
one, two or no arguments like , , . If no arguments given,
R1000 is assumed.
- You can now disable broadcast messages (like errors, connects, etc) from the
server log to be sent to your account logged via telnet. You can toggle this
behavior per account via PRIV field of the account (mask 0400). So, only
responces to your commands and some very-basic messages (like world save)
will be sent in this case.
08-01-05, Vjaka
- Added support for virtual maps. Now map numbers 0..255 are supported by the
server.
- Map dimensions are now customizable in INI-file using by the following cmd:
MAPx=max_x,max_y,sector_size,real_map_number.
Here x - the map number for ingame useage (4rd coordinate of the coordinate).
max_x - maximal X coordinate of the map (should be multiply of 8).
max_y - maximal Y coordinate of the map (should be multiply of 8).
sector_size - the sector size (you can play with this if you experience lags
decreasing this value (should be multiply of 8 and both max_x and max_y).
real_map_numer - number used by map files (like: 0 for map0, statics0).
You can also change some attribute of the current map not redefining all
values, skipping the ones you wish to be as default putting 0 instead (for
real map number -1). For example, decreasing sector size for map 0 to 16
from default value of 64 will look in INI file thus: "MAP0=0,0,16,-1".
Please note, that no changes are applied when server is already started.
- Default map numbering has been changed (you can ovverride it easily by MAPx
setting in sphere.ini). Now 0 = map0, 1 = map0, 2 = map2, 3 = map3, 4 = map4.
10-01-05, Furio
- Added: tooltip %d command for gumps (works in SE clients).
- Added: sphere_map*.scp/sphere_map_points*.scp for new maps and fixed the
default one.
- Updated: gray proto with new packets.
- Updated: client support to 4.0.7 family.
- Updated: fix in default script pack.
13-01-05, Furio
- Modified SERV.MAP(x,y) to accept a 3rd parameter, the map. If omitted is
defaulted to 0.
- Added SECTOR access to read-only properties from a point. Example:
SERV.MAP(100,100,1).SECTOR.ITEMCOUNT will give you the itemcount of the
sector that contains the point 100,100 on map 1.
- Added REGION access to read-only properties from a point. (works like
SECTOR one)
- Fixed: gumppic to show hue when used. (Hue usable only for client >= 3)
15-01-05, Vjaka
- Changed the way the server saves allowing more information about the cause of
some exception (which is now not fatal for the save).
17-01-05, Vjaka
- Added LEVEL field to char as the future part of the experience system.
- Added ExperienceSystem, ExperienceMode, LevelSystem, LevelMode, LevelNextAt
fields to the .INI file as a future part of the experience system. Read the
default sphere.ini for more description over these fields.
- PRIV flags are now auto-clearing bits corresponding to not used priv. This is
a solution for a possible incompatibility when the previosely disabled bit
will be reused with other functionality on same world saves.
- Fixed: LAYER_EXTRA is now used ONLY to place the items bought by the vendor.
- Items sold to vendors are auto-deleted exactly upon the sell operation. The
only case they are saved, if they are sold to player vendors.
- Amount of items in sell packet is now limited to the container size.
- Fixed one more sell/buy exploit.
17-01-05, Furio
- Fixed: party system.
- Fixed: group disappeared from gumps.
- Added: scriptable components for the party. Still work in progress.
With .PARTY refer to the current party of the char.
.PARTY.MEMBER.x refer to any member of the party.
.PARTY.MASTER refer to the master of the party.
PARTY.MEMBERS give the count of members
PARTY.MEMBER.x has also ISMASTER and ISLOOTABLE properties.
PARTY.ADDMEMBER[FORCED] you can add a meber by script (forced version works
without the normal /accept behaviour)
PARTY.DISBAND disband the current party
PARTY.REMOVEMEMBER @ remove the Nth member
PARTY.REMOVEMEMBER remove a member in the party with the UID given
(if is the master the party is disbanded)
PARTY.SYSMESSAGE @ TEXT send a party sysmessage to the Nth member
PARTY.SYSMESSAGE TEXT send a party sysmessage to a member in the party
with the UID given
PARTY.SYSMESSAGE TEXT send a sysmessage to the party
PARTY.MESSAGE @ TEXT send a message from the Mth member to the party
PARTY.MESSAGE @, TEXT send a message from the Mth member to the Nth
member
PARTY.MESSAGE TEXT send a message from the to the party
PARTY.MESSAGE , TEXT send a message from member to
- Added: TAG/TAG0 for party.
24-01-05, Vjaka
- Fixed bug with some keywords recognition caused by operator.
- Chardef triggers do not apply to players now.
- Write deleted accounts out to log file
25-01-05, Vjaka
- Fixed vendor selling in case of one item being sold.
- Ensure double character removal from view in "remove 1" case (for allshow).
26-01-05, Vjaka
- Fixed registry settings overriding MULFILES setting in some cases in win32.
- Fixed the way spells are checked whatever they are in a spellbook. New type
of spellbook (186) has been added for script purposes with internal support.
Now the spellbooks (if not default one) can be configured to specify which
number of the lowest spell it contains (stored in MOREZ).
- Fixed casting speel with two or more similar spell books when it does not
exist in one of these books.
- Removed limitation to 1 byte (255) for MOREZ of spellbooks. Now it can hold
2 bytes (65535). Please note, that setting MOREZ via MOREP is incorrect here.
28-01-05, Vjaka
- Fixed bug caused with layer_extra removal from buy menu in older clients.
- Added support for packets filterings. Please note, that you should understand
what are you doing. You can install your handler of a packet X specifying
PACKETx=functionname. This function will be called when the packet is going
to be processed by the server. It has the following arguments set:
ARGN1 = packet number (to allow using one function for different packets)
ARGS = source client ip address
LOCAL.0-LOCAL.9 - first 10 bytes of the packet for parsing contents
If you do return 1 in this function, the packet will NOT be processed.
- Some exceptions debug messaging speed optimised.
29-01-05, Vjaka
- Added argument for RECRUIT on guildstone. If set 1, the member recruited will
become a fully qualifyed member of a guild with abbriviation shown on.
30-01-05, Furio
- Fixed: compatibility problems on Linux.
- Freeze for 0.56b Test1.
03-02-05, Vjaka
- Argument switches of target[f][g][w] functions can be given in any order.
- Fixed removing events on other events execution that leaded skipping others.
- Memory usage is lowered (pre-storage optimized for more accurate values),
approx 30-40% less memory will be used (depending on load structure).
04-02-05, Vjaka
- Logout now quits from chat removing problems with inactive zombies left.
- Characters with Statf_STONE cannot logout (actualy, have 1 hour logout timer).
- You can now access account properties using SERV.ACCOUNT.x. reference where x
is the numerical index of the account (0..SERV.ACCOUNTS) [read-only]
- Fixed extra step made on sector borders.
- Fixed "return"/"return 2" in chardef triggers stopping others from launching.
04-02-05, Furio
- Added support for 4.0.8 clients.
- Fixed some arguments parsing in party functions
05-02-05, Vjaka
- Optimized time profiling on ticking objects.
07-02-05, Vjaka
- Problem with items left with switching virtual maps with one physical should
be solved.
- Added simple mySQL support. New settings MySqlHost, MySqlUser, MySqlPassword,
MySqlDatabase will be used to connect to the DB in case if MYSQL is set to 1.
You will need extra .dll/.so to download for sphere installation. They will
join the packages.
08-02-05, Vjaka
- Fixed several map support bugs with incorrect sector counting (should improve
support of a high map numbers).
11-02-05, Vjaka
- Fixed bug causing incorrect function name lookup in several cases with some
special chars like underline (_).
- Added debug flags 0200 and 0400 to debug experience and level changes from
server console (if enabled).
- Experience system integrated. Few addons about defaults to config comments:
a) experience bonus for crafting counted as a value/100.
b) default experience set on create is str+dex/2+int.
c) manual setting experience will alter level if configured so.
d) dying decreases experience by 10%
e) killing enemy will give experience depending on exp and level of target.
12-02-05, Vjaka
- Added 2 more EXP settings to config: ExperienceKoefPVP and ExperienceKoefPVM,
controlling percents of gaining experience in PvP and PvM combat.
- Added triggers @ExpChange and @ExpLevelChange, where ARGN1 (writeable) is the
change is going to happen. Returning 1 cancels the change.
12-02-05, Furio
- Fixed: another buffer overrun exploit in log system. Thx to Radiant for
reporting it.
- Added: SUPPRESSCAPITALS (default 0) to enable/disable Vjaka system to avoid
long text written only in capital letters.
14-02-05, Vjaka
- OF_Advanced_AI is now obsolete. Currently it is controlled by NPCAI setting
in config file.
- Added MaxLoopTimes value to config (default 10000) to limit a number of
iterations the while/for cycle could have to remove possible deadlocks making
server to stop responding (better use this instead of main loop restart).
- Added MOVERATE to CHARDEFs. It is the percent modifier of the speed of the
NPC - the higher it is, the slower will the NPC be. Default is 100.
- Now double clicking on the log window in windows build will bring up an
editor with corresponded file (if any specifyed in the same line) opened.
15-02-05, Vjaka
- Fixed one more buy menu exploit (probably, the last one) ;).
- Fixed NEWITEM id,amount in case if non-exact value was given (like {x y}).
- Added cont argument to NEWITEM (now it looks NEWITEM id,amount,container).
16-02-05, Furio
- Fixed: compatibility things for Linux/BSD build.
27-02-05, Furio
- Added: STRREV for strings.
- Reverted to dynamic linked executable for the linux build. That permit some
exception handling during signal raise.
01-03-05, Vjaka
- Fixed gaining fame and exp on summoned pets.
- Faster and more intelligent protection from fastloot like ,emptycontainer. The
delays for picking now are 0.3 sec per item. Item with amount (popping dialog
with input) adds extra 0.2 sec delay.
04-03-05, Vjaka
- Fixed an exploit with invalid book packet (thanks Fallout for reporting).
- Fixed @Destroy event not fired.
- Added the minimal delay before accepting sell/buy deal equal to 0.3 sec per
each item. This limits the power of autobuy/autosell/inject sell all.
- Added client property CTAG similar to the TAG array. The difference is that
the contents is not saved, and is destroyed upon logout - useful place to
store your local variables on the client character.
06-03-05, Furio
- Some other fixes to improve Linux build stability.
- Now killing sphere with HUP make the server save and exit.
- Added support for 4.0.9 client encryption.
- Added more comprehensible messages to error output (bad login / garbage / save)
10-03-05, Vjaka
- Fixed placing items from invalid containers upon save loading to world nearby
100,100 coords, these items should be deleted, so they are.
- Limited amount of items shown to client on screen to MaxItemComplexity*30 (by
default 25*30 = 750).
- Removed goldreserve from guilds - use TAGs for this.
- Windows: added build date and time to the About box along with the version.
13-03-05, Furio
- Added SERV.GUILDSTONES.x to referer to the Xth guildstone in the server.
Use SERV.GUILDSTONES.COUNT to get the total number.
- Added SERV.TOWNSTONES working like SERV.GUILDSTONES.
- Added MasterUid property also in write mode. Now you can change the guild
master passing the uid as argument.
- Some minor fix to Linux build.
14-03-05, Vjaka
- Optimised object los check, should decrease waste of cpu on large shards.
- Fixed possible webpage exploit with malformed requests.
- Removed EMAIL property from accounts and all associated commands (EMAIL/
ADDEMAIL,defmessages) - use account TAGs to work with it when needed.
- Removed server status responce from the standart ping/telnet connection.
- Fixed logging in localy when both RemoteAdmin and Administrator accounts were
not found and LOCALIPADMIN was set.
- Fixed misprinted defmessage ncp_* to npc_* (2 matches), sphere_msgs.scp now
comes commented by default - uncomment things only you need to change - most
people will not need this file at all, so by this way we show that.
14-03-05, Furio
- Temp removed "Limited amount of items shown to client on screen".
- Moved FOLLOW from exe to scripts. Now MEMORY_FOLLOW(01000) is unused.
- Modified default info gump with a new one (thx to NHR).
17-03-05, Vjaka
- Removed EF_No_Pause_Packet, it is built in to code now.
- Drop item on vendor to trade quick, removed npc_vendor_sell (from 1.0).
- Setting SLEEPMASK=0 will give no time to sleeping sectors (from 1.0).
- Optimised few widely used checks like touch check.
29-03-05, Vjaka
- Removed debug message about not found pathfinding path.
- Fixed bug causing objects disappear on doubleclick.
- "Limited amount of items shown to client on screen" is back due this was not
the cause of the previous bug ;).
- Removed verbose command. It was anyhow very limited in Release build.
- Added -c command line switch to WIN32 build. It allows changing registered
class name for sphere, which helps working via windows messages with several
sphere servers on the same machine.
05-04-05, Vjaka
- Made ARGN1 writeable in @Hunger.
- Fixed OptionFlags display instead of MagicIngoreAR.
11-04-05, Vjaka
- Packet filtering support heavily expanded. Now you have these variables:
LOCAL.NUM (value) set to amount of data got from the packet
LOCAL.STR (string) all data threated as a string (aware of zero chars)
LOCAL.ACCOUNT (string) current active account if any is logged by the client
LOCAL.CHAR (uid) current active char if any is logged in from the client
and the all data is now given in LOCAL.x, not the only first 10 bytes.
- Returning 1 in PACKETx handler function no longer shows Bad Msg Eat string.
- Removing exception on invalid map point in some drop cases.
- Account named like account keywords (ADD/BLOCKED/etc) denied for creation.
12-04-05, Vjaka
- Walking via others with no penalty fixed (now it more like it was before in
the times of 55i - more correct way). You can override this by changing ARGN1
in @PersonalSpace trigger.
- Fixed message of guard owners always saying previous region guards owners.
14-04-05, Vjaka
- Fixed Sphere accepting a player character as a valid guard in some cases.
- Fixed guard walking to enemy even if they are cheaters (instantkill enabled).
- Added messaging flood control - equal sysmessages one after another will not
be sent to the client (if they are absolutely identifical and no any other
message was between them).
- Added STRIP [DIR/] console command. Reads all scripts and outputs them to new
files with only [...], and base definitions lines. Good for giving script to
your gms to be able to use axis with very basic information.
17-04-05, Vjaka
- Fixed bug with quick trade on player vendors.
- Fixed an exception caused by empty messages in some client events.
21-04-05, Furio
- Added 4.0.10 client keys.
- Fixed: bugs in getting vals from party.
21-04-05, Vjaka
- Fixed some cases (not all!) of scripts clearence by specifying incorrect
directory in STRIP command. There are too many ways to specify direct or
indirect path that will look different but will lead to the same file
starting from symlinks, ending with messing with .. and dir seprarators (\/).
Locking the file is not ok, since it will cause problems with other threads
or applications working with file. So use this either with care, or with no
argument ;)
- Added Axis tags support CATEGORY, SUBSECTION, DESCRIPTION to STRIP command. I
do not use them, so did not add that when making the command :).
23-04-05, Furio
- Some fixes and optimization for Linux code.
03-05-05, Vjaka
- Fixed bug causing impossibility to dress off items in some cases.
- Removed background task and all corresponding to it operations, since they
only looked as working, while doing almost nothing.
14-05-2005, Furio
- Fixed some bugs in client detection.
- Fixed a bug for too short account name login.
- Removed support for encrypted client from 1.25.31 to 1.26.4 (you can use them
only in unencrypted way).
- Fixed problems with allshow.
- Fixed problems with rand(x,y).
- Disabled (temp.) Vjaka's messaging flood control.
24-05-05, Furio
- Fixed some bugs for Linux build.
- Added CanSee check in spellcast.
25-05-05, Vjaka
- Added OF_Flood_Protection as a control of toggling appearence of same
messages and sysmessages one after another. Note, that this setting is always
off for PLEVEL 2 or upper, so GMs will always get everything.
- Fixed copses giving unlimited blood amount. Now, the corpse gets TAG.BLOOD
upon creation to TAG.MAXBLOOD of itemdef. You can also alter TAG.BLOOD upon
creation on the coprse object. The default value is 5.
- Due to multiply requests, TAG.LastLogged is removed just after showing it to
client. It is still there for the purpose to show real last connection date.
- Added INI setting of MOVERATE (default 100) to change the default moving
speed of all NPCs at once. Remember, this is percent setting.
- Fixed bless and curse on items which lead to ultimate stats raise.
28-05-05, Furio
- Fixed: Corpse not appearing.
- Fixed: CTAG sysmessage on set.
- Fixed: FVAL bug.
18-06-05, Vjaka
- Fixed book saving only the first line on each page.
- Fixed exception on allshow.
- Fixed console errors when using looms and repair.
27-06-05, Vjaka
- Removed RESOURCES2 line since it never worked at all.
- Fixed variety of bugs with using some keywords like newitem from functions
called directly from the server (like f_onserver_start). Special char is
created for this purpose to be acting as a default object.
- Region now executes command for all sectors inside if the command is sector
one (you can use REGION.all* instead of REGION.SECTORS.all*) for example.
REGION.SECTORS command is depricated.
- Added StatsFlags setting to cap MAX(HITS/MANA/STAM) status.
01-07-05, Vjaka
- Added f_onserver_exit triggered on server quit. Quite useless since no saves
are occured after then, but good for launching some prog using sysspawn.
- Townstones are now listed in status using TOWNLIST command, splitting town
and guild stones to different links.
- Fixed calling guards on self.
03-07-05, Vjaka
- Fixed fightself bug. It was not fixed before. I did not notice that since do
not use default summon creature spell. Thanks Handred for reporting.
- Trying to improve the rate and distance NPC sees characters around. Now it
should happen faster, since higher distance is checked in areas with little
complexity.
- Spawning NPC distance is now more random. Also now spawning checks the
borders inside disallowing to spawn in unaccessable place. Thus, if you place
spawn in house and the doors are closed, there is no possibility for NPC to
spawn outside the house.
- The death now triggers inventory close to avoid appearing fake items inside
that are no longer in the pack.
04-07-05, Vjaka
- Fixed impossibility to change type of the object to a non-default one.
08-07-05, Furio
- Fixed SERVIP problems (and similar).

11-07-05, Vjaka
- Fixed ALLCHARS region/sector command.
- Fixed typedef bug on save.
17-07-05, Furio
- Added SERV.RTIME.FORMAT. It takes as args a string like strftime()
(the list is here http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mansec?3C+strftime ).
e.g SERV.RTIME.FORMAT %d returns the number of the day.
- Fixed: animal trainer problem with EF_Walkcheck.
- Fixed: magic lock/unlock bugs.
- Fixed: dagger on static crop.
19-07-05, Vjaka
- Multithreading now should be more stable.
- Few misc fixes in combat, like added los check.
- Fixed REGION.ALLCHARS command.
19-07-05, Furio
- Fixed: creating unnamed chars.
- Fixed: creating chars with no title.
- Fixed: creating chars with hacked stats.
- Fixed: writing on console.
- Fixed: problem with spawning with EF Walk flags.
- Fixed: touchups in script pack.
- Added: hardcoded support for AoS/Se/Ml skills.
21-07-05, Furio
- Fixed: Warmode refresh if getting attacked (thx to Torfo).
- Fixed: Training skill out of skillsum cap.
- Fixed: Viewing hidden clients with higher plevel with allshow.
- Fixed: skill name/key/title in sphere_skills.scp
- Fixed: template mispelled (orge instead of ogre).
- Modified: sphere_map*.scp and sphere_point*.scp are now in map/
subdir.
- Modified: only map0 and map1 scp are loaded, to load the others
uncomment the lines in spheretables.scp
22-07-05, Cloud_Br (Script pack)
- Fixed: buying wool from vendors.
- Fixed: Missing flags in sphere_defs.scp
- Added: sphere_item_aos_se.scp containing various AoS/Se item defs.

23-07-05, Furio
- Fixed: rock throwed by ogres not decaying.
- Fixed: cansee e musical item for provocation.
- Fixed: npc speak on train.
- Fixed: animal lore on mounted pets.
24-07-05, Vjaka
- Fixed: default object operations on server. Will not show extra error msgs.
25-07-05, Furio
- Fixed: npc try to attack mounts causing exceptions.
- Fixed: mounts disappearing. (thx to Gygrazok and Darkraven)
- Fixed: args not used in trigger @PersonalSpace. (thx to Darkraven)
- Fixed: Map teleports teleporting npcs.
- Added: 4th argument to map teleports. If is set to 1 npcs can use the teleport.
By default is 0. Eg: 1,1,1,0=100,100,100,0=my_teleport=1 is enabled,
1,1,1,0=100,100,100,0=my_teleport=0 or 1,1,1,0=100,100,100,0=my_teleport is
disabled.
27-07-05, Vjaka
- Fixed: Several exceptions with latest client.
- Fixed: Extra error msg for show command when server property was specifyed.
- Fixed: Some more timeslices freeing will decrease useless cpu usage in
multithreaded mode.
30-07-05, Furio
- Fixed: exploit with hair dye gump (choosing random color).
- Fixed: x/set respecting plevel.
- Moved: hair dye gump from exe to scripts.
30-07-05, Cloud_Br (Script pack)
- Fixed: problems with spherechars_se.scp
- Added: defs to sphere_backward_compatibility.scp
- Fixed: some areas without guards (map0/map1).
30-07-05, Vjaka
- Added: MySQL support to scripts. You can execute any queries and statements,
as well as get data from mysql link. A special script object similar to the
FILE or OBJ added and is named DB.
DB Properties:
CONNECTED - the current state of database connection (1 or 0)
ROW.NUMROWS - number of rows returned by last query
ROW.NUMCOLS - number of columns returned by last query
ROW.* - list of all columns returned by last query. Both column names and
numbers are saved in the list, so you can use indexes [0..] or column
names [id, name, etc] here.
DB Methods:
CLOSE - disconnects the SQL server
CONNECT - connects to the database (using mysql settings in sphere.ini)
EXECUTE - executes SQL query not filling any results anywhere
QUERY - executes SQL query filling ROW.* properties information
Example of a simple query:
DB.query "SELECT id FROM users WHERE account=''"
SERV.log "Got ID = "
Note: Server does not create connection upon start, so if you wish to make
the connection with the server start, add DB.connect to the function
f_onserver_start.
- Fixed: Map support higher than map 0. Now there should be no more problems
with fix throwing to incorrect Z level (hopefully).
31-07-05, Radiant
- Added: Support for tooltips. Requires OF_Tooltips (02000) and the 020
FeaturesLogin flag. Usable in scripts:
Every object has a OBJPROPS property, which works like tags. Syntax:

(this is valid for encrypted and unencrypted clients). Note that sometimes
unencrypted clients sometimes are dumb and sphere not recognize them properly
(and thus disconnected), but after restarting the client it's all ok.

04-07-2006, MrSugarCube
- Modified: SERV.CLIENT.x reference no longer accepts x if it is out of range

01-08-2007, Nazghul

04-08-2006, Nazghul
(most code revised, debugged and (re)designed by Ellessar when I was up to drop
this all in desperation)
- Added: Function AddContextEntry. what takes 2 to 4 arguments separated by a comma.
SRC.AddContextEntry EntryTag,TextID,Flags,Color
EntryTag - the number to return as ARGN by @(item)ContextMenuSelect. Make it unique.
- EntryTags from 0 to 100 are reserved by Sphere for internal use, so do not
use it.
TextID - CLILOCed name of the button. The number from cliloc.[your_localization]
WITHOUT the leading "300" or such! Just type "5194" or "11010"
Flags - 01 - locked (will be grayed out)
- 02 - consecutive entries with this flag set will be summarized under
a golden arrow
- 020 - can be colored
Color (applied only if Flags & 020) - hue
- Added: Trigger @ContextMenuRequest/@itemContextMenuRequest which is fired after
receiving a display Popup-menu client request (single click on an object).
It can be fired two times, each call has a different ARGN.
The first time it is fired before any hardcoded stuff is added to the Popup-menu.
Here, Return 1 denies displaying any hardcoded entries, but if you make a softcoded
entry, it WILL be displayed. It also will prohibit the second call of the trigger.
Both, Return 0 and Return 2 allows hardcoded stuff to be added. If you change ARGN,
the trigger will be called once more (but ARGN != 1).
The second time it is fired after all hardcoded stuff was added (so you can add
your stuff to the bottom of the Popup-menu). Return value has no effect at all.
The first call:
In: ARGN = 1
Out: Return 1 - only your stuff will be added (IF ANY), prohibits the second call
Return 0/2 - your and hardcoded stuff will be added
ARGN (ARGN != 1) - allows the second call
The second call:
In: ARGN = 2
Out: Return 0/1/2 - does nothing
ARGN - does nothing
- Added: Trigger @ContextMenuSelect/@itemContextMenuSelect which is fired after
a client selects something from a Popup-menu. ARGN is a value, which was sent
by the server to the client as the first argument with the AddContextEntry function.
06-08-2006, MrSugarCube
- Modified: SERV.ACCOUNT.x now returns 1 if the account name or index exists, or 0 if not.

of static items.
- Modified: Setting BONUS_STATS to 0 in SKILL definitions disables using BONUS_x properties
when calculating stat gains for that skill instead of blocking all stat gains for it. If
you want to prevent stat gains, you should either set STAT_x to 0, or set BONUS_x to 0
with BONUS_STATS greater than 0.
07-08-2006, MrSugarCube (Script pack)
- Updated: sphere_msgs.scp (Fixed some 'broken' defmessages with tabs in)

the new position-related checks behavior will be used. So far it does something only
with resource gathering related skills (lumberjacking, mining, fishing, eating grass etc.)
and Advanced LOS.
The flag is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL!
- Modified: FORPLAYERS now loops through logouted players. If you want to loop only through
online players, use FORCLIENTS.
17-08-2006, MrSugarCube
- Fixed: Retrieving StatLock properties with STATLOCK[statname] and SKILLLOCK[skillname]
- Fixed #835: Setting StatLocks on the status window sets the incorrect StatLock[x] property.

- Fixed #744: Line Of Sight check going from out of a house into the house was successful,
but not vice versa.
- Fixed: Item flags and height was always inherited from the parent item
(the item with DUPELIST=), what damaged almost all Line Of Sight checks.

- MODIFIED: RESCOLD, RESENERGY, RESFIRE, RESPOISON now can also be set on NPC
Remember that RES*=100 will give you a 100 percent immunity against the damage inflicted
by TAG.*DAMAGE.
- Added: COMBAT_SPECIALDAMAGE to INI CombatFlags (08). If set, TAG.*DAMAGE (below) will be
used.
- Added: COMBAT_USE_RESISTANCE to INI CombatFlags (010). If set, RES* on characters will
also be weighted against normal damage if the old fashioned damage flags are set.
- Added: TAG.COLDDAMAGE, TAG.ENERGYDAMAGE, TAG.FIREDAMAGE, TAG.POISONDAMAGE for characters
and items. The server will only evaluate the tags on characters, and if ComBatFlag
COMBAT_SPECIALDAMAGE is set. Then any damage done to others (if it's damage type contains
at least one of the physical types OR magic) will be increased by the value of the
appropriate tag, lowered by the RES* percentage of the victim.
Tags on items will not be evaluated by the server - their values can be used to for
example increase the TAGs or the RES* properties on characters on equip of the item.
This way you can use TAG.*DAMAGE on a weapon to increase the wearer's appropriate
damage tag, or on a piece of armor to increase his RES*, or to whatever you want.
31-08-2006, Nazghul
- Added: NPC trigger @PetDesert. Fires when a pet decides to go wild.
Default object is the pet, SRC the master. RETURN 1 changes the pet's mind.

the point, and 1 if one does.
- Added: Support for the new BandageSelf and BandageTarget macros found in the
latest clients (5.0.4). Using the macro will act as if the client has just
targeted something with the bandage (and so @[item]TargOn_Item will be called).
01-09-2006, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #849: Enabling precasting does not freeze characters when casting.

be cut off if larger.

These functions only work with client 5.0.3 or above.
06-09-2006, Nazghul (script pack)
- Updated: sphere_defs.scp (added defnames for buff icons and clilocs)

only an annoyance for not english language shards
- Changed: Key links will only be blanked if they are pointing to an invalid item UID now.
Before everything what was neither container nor multi was considered "invalid", so keys
with the UID of a door, or themselves could turn blank.
- Added #848: Character trigger @SpellSelect. Doing pretty much the same as the spell trigger
@select and has the same arguments/parameters
- Fixed #778: Wrong spellbook recognition with more than one spellbook std., necro, ...)
in pack.
- Updated: sphere.ini - Removed experimental flag EF_New_Walkcheck.
16-09-2006, Nazghul

t_dye_vat instead of only i_dye_tub. Making it switcheable for all those who have concerns
about exploitability (even as I do not see any risk) - we all remember the times when
injection users colored whole shards pink.
17-09-2006, MrSugarCube

- Modified #869: The TRAIN function now works on all NPC brains between 2 and 9.
21-09-2006, Nazghul

in the world with this ID.

by a vendor. The trigger is called only with EF_New_Triggers on.
ACT/DEFAULT is the item, SRC is the player, ARGN is the item amount, ARGO is the vendor.
Return 1 prevents the player from buying the item.
- Added: Item trigger @Sell and character trigger @itemSell, which are called before item is bought
by a vendor. The trigger is called only with EF_New_Triggers on.
ACT/DEFAULT is the item, SRC is the player, ARGN is the item amount, ARGO is the vendor.
Return 1 prevents the player from selling the item.
- Fixed: Serv.itemdef.xxx.skill not always returning the skill
- Fixed: A copy & paste error in TAG.OVERRIDE.AMMO* what prevented the animation stuff to run.
25-09-2006, Nazghul
- Added: EF_DamageTool (0x2000) to Sphere.ini. Only if set tools/weapons will be damaged while
lumberjacking/mining (what includes firing @Damage on them)
- Fixed: NPCs spawning with incorrect Z position.
26-09-2006, Nazghul
- Modified: @(item)ContextMenuRequest and @(item)ContextMenuSelect now will not be called with
EF_Minimize_Triggers on.
27-09-2006, Nazghul
- Added: TDATA3 and TDATA4 of a container type item are now holding min and max coordinates of
the "area were items may be placed", relatively to the open container gump.
TDATA3 is (MinX * 0x10000) + MinY, TDATA4 is (MaxX * 0x10000) + MaxY
Be very careful with these settings - if they are set to illegal values (i.e., outside of the
visible gump) Sphere will happily accept them, but your users will not be able to pick items
placed there out of the container, because the client will only display then if they have the
container gump as a background!
If TDATA4 is not set (or set to 0), default values will apply, along with the console warning
"unknown gump id".
28-09-2006, Nazghul
- Added: MOREM value (0..127) on digestible food will override the amount of "food units"
what will be added to the characters FOOD property when eating this. Obviously, items
with different MOREM will not stack. Because on=@SUCCESS on cooking will not give you
a reference to the newly created item but only to the raw one, MOREM will be transferred
from the raw food (what you may alter in on=@success)
29-09-2006, Nazghul
- Added: 3 defmessages, thus making the headline for the "c" console command configurable.
01-10-2006, Nazghul
- Added: Intrinsic function IsObscene what tests whether the passed argument is a forbidden
word (list of these words are in your spheretables.scp under the section OBSCENE).
- Fixed: Obscene not matching obscened words inside a string.
- Fixed #889: Fame.* and Karma.* always returning 0.
- Updated: spheretables.scp - added KARMA and FAME sections. Now you can change, add or remove
keys which are used behind Karma. and Fame. . First line declares steps, other lines their
names.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE YOUR SPHERETABLES.SCP!!!
02-10-2006, Nazghul (Script Pack)
- Fixed #867: sphere_minor_artifacts.scp, i_orcish_visage
- Updated: Flags notification on server startup
02-10-2006, Nazghul
- Fixed #898: Some stairs unwalkable with EF_NewPositionChecks, EF_WalkCheck and
EF_DiagonalWalkCheck on.
05-10-2006, Nazghul
- Added: INI flag OF_OSIDamageMod (0x04)
Modifying weapon damage OSI style, according to this formulas (originally provided by ClouD_Br):
Tactics Damage Bonus% = Tactics � 1.6 (Add 6.25% if Tactics >= 100)
Anatomy Damage Bonus% = (Anatomy � 2) + 5
Lumberjack Damage Bonus% = Lumberjack � 2 (Add 10% if Lumberjacking >= 100)
Strength Damage Bonus% = Strength * 0.3 (Add 5% if Strength >= 100)
Final Damage Bonus% = Tactics Bonus + Anatomy Bonus + Lumber Bonus + Strangth Bonus + Damage Increase Items*
Final Damage = Base Damage + (Base Damage * Final Damage Bonus%)
* Damage Increase is capped at 100%.
05-10-2006, Nazghul
- Fixed #036: Fixed TRY and TRYSRV not working with locals (local and arg*). TRYSRC and TRYP
do not work, since it makes no sense to use it on local variables. (Thx to Ellessar who
finally worked out how this SHOULD work, so we found the bug deeply buried under tons of
old code)
06-10-2006, Nazghul
- Added: Function ISNEARTYPETOP(.P) which uses new checks for resource gathering (item which
you want to find must be at the top, if at the top there are 2 items, then the success
depends on the priority (dynamic->multi->static->terrain) of those items). Syntax is the
same with ISNEARTYPE(.P). NOTE: This function is called from hardcode if EF_NewPositionChecks
are on.
- Fixed #668: Delete packets of items which cannot be seen were sent to the client.
- Modified #632: Now, IsPlayer can be used on every game object.
- Modified: sphere.ini - added an NPC AI flag NPC_AI_INTFOOD which enables smarter and more
trustworthy food finding.
08-10-2006, Furio
- Modified: TRIGGER command. It now supports calling a trigger with arguments, the syntax is:
TRIGGER $trigger_name[,$trigger_arg_type,...] where $trigger_arg_type can be:
- TAT_AS_ARGN (1): uses arguments as ARGN. Example: TRIGGER @MyTest,,1,2,3
will call @MyTest with ARGN1=1 ARGN2=2 ARGN3=3.
- TAT_AS_ARGS (2): uses arguments as ARGS. Example: TRIGGER @MyTest,,hi you 2,yo !
will call @MyTest with ARGS=hi you 2,yo !.
- TAT_AS_ARGO (3): uses arguments as ARGN. Example: TRIGGER @MyTest,,01
will call @MyTest with ARGO.UID=01 (only if object with such uid exist).
- Updated: sphere_defs.scp (with new definitions for the TRIGGER command).
- Fixed #880: Explode function not working as it should.
09-10-2006, Nazghul
- fixed problems with spellbooks obviously triggered by new Gcc compiler for Linux with a weird
workaround.
10-10-2006, Nazghul
- Fixed #900: Added INI flag COMBAT_DCLICKSELF_UNMOUNT to unmount horse when dclicking self
while in warmode.
11-10-2006, Nazghul (Script Pack)
- Updated: sphere_msgs.scp - more defmessages to customize text output.
- Updated (#905): sphere_item_provisions_potions.scp - Shrink potion did not behave as expected.
13-10-2006, Nazghul
- Added: Intrinsic functions SIN() and COS(). Attention: Without FLOAT math they will obviously
only return 0 and 1 :)
16-10-2006, Nazghul
- Added: Support for floats (local variables FLOAT.younameit, which have size of double, and
can hold precise numbers). Usage of these variables is the same like LOCAL.younameit. As
EVAL only uses integer arithmetic, with FLOAT math you have to use
(New code was done mainly by Ellessar and Decrythe, I just "glued" it into Sphere :) )
- Changed: Return values for @SPELLSELECT trigger. Touchup for @SELECT with spells. Different
server behaviour can be achieved with the following RETURN values in trigger scripts:
@SELECT
RETURN 0 - proceed without mana, spellbook, and reagent check as if these checks were
successful
RETURN 1 - Abort processing (so aborting the spell)
RETURN 2 - proceed as normal
RETURN 6 - like RETURN 0 (for compatibility with @SPELLSELECT)
@SPELLSELECT
RETURN 0 - proceed as normal
RETURN 1 - abort processing (so aborting the spell)
RETURN 2 - proceed as normal
RETURN 6 - proceed without mana, spellbook, and reagent check as if these checks were
successful
@SPELLSELECT will be called after @SELECT - what means, if you leave @SELECT with RETURN 0 or
RETURN 1, @SPELLSELECT will NOT be called!
16-10-2006, Furio
- Added: DAM.HI/LO and ARMOR.HI/LO
17-10-2006, Nazghul
- Added: Defmessage if skillgain is aborted due to GAINRADIUS not met; message will only be displayed
if TAG.NOSKILLMSG=1 on character
- Fixed: Problems with long passwords and MD5 hash on.
18-10-2006, Nazghul
- Added INI flag OF_DrinkIsFood (0x10000). If set, T_DRINK will increase FOOD lvl. like T_FOOD
19-10-2006, Nazghul
- Added: Dynamic property "height" for characters.
20-10-2006, Nazghul
- Updated: sphere_defs.scp - added defname charheight.
21-10-2006, Nazghul
- Added: New "m" paramter for TARGET function. Now you can use TARGETM and TARGETFM for targeting
a place for your multi (you will see your multi in the "ghost mode"). TARGETM takes as an argument
ONLY ID of the multi, TARGETFM takes 2 arguments - function_to_call,ID_ot_the_multi.
21-10-2006, Nazghul (Changes only for servers with EF_NewPositionCheck on and AdvancedLOS on)
- Modified: CanSeeLOS now uses height of a character for its checks. Height is read in this order
and first correct entry is used:
1. Dynamic height property of an object
2. Height property under CHARDEF/ITEMDEF (can be inherited)
3. Defname in format "height_dispid", while dispid is a hex number in Sphere format (0a3)
4. Defname in format "height_dispid", while dispid is a dec number
5. Universal height - "15"
If a character is mounted, its height is raised by 4. CanSeeLOS reduce height of an unmounted
character by 1 (pretending eyes height).
NOTE: This formula is used when you are doing .show height, or in scripts.
23-10-2006, Nazghul
- Fixed: #789 ModAR on characters only worked with damage of type GENERAL.
23-10-2006, MrSugarCube
- Fixed: Webpage requests always displaying the "Internal Server Error" page.
24-10-2006, Nazghul
- Added: Trigger @(item)Buy now has local.totalcost, which holds the cost of the whole purchase
and ARGN2, which holds price of this amount of items (price * amount).
- Fixed: Trigger @(item)Buy returning bad amount in ARGN1.
- Added: Local variables LOCAL.CREATEOBJECT1 and LOCAL.CREATEOBJECT2 to @SUCCESS trigger of spells.
These variables are _unset_ when the trigger is called. But they can be _set_ with field- and
summon spells to change what these spells will create.
- Summon spells (summon creature, bladeSpirit, Vortex, summon daemon, summon *elemental) take only
the first one. If set with LOCAL.CREATEOBJECT1 = the spell will summon an orc. This
way one can add more random daemons to the summon daemon spell, or change the spawned creature
due to magery or whatever.
- field spells (s_wall_of_stone, s_fire_field etc) take both variables, as usually the items for
the field in west-east direction are different from those in north-south direction. If necessary
they can of course be the same (s_fire_field looks impressive with i_fire_columns :) ), but BOTH
have to be set (otherwise the unset will be replaced by the spell's default item for this dir).
Example:
[SPELL s_fire_field]
...
on=@SUCCESS
IF >= 99.9
LOCAL.CREATEOBJECT1 =
LOCAL.CREATEOBJECT2 =
ENDIF
24-10-2006, Pilz-e (Script pack)

// NPC_AI_EXTRA 0004 NPC magics, etc
// NPC_AI_ALWAYSINT 0008 Always be as smart as possible with pathfinding

- Modified: EFFECT property of crafting skills can now be used to define the percentage of resources
that are lost when failing to craft an item. A few examples of how you can use this:
"EFFECT=x" - Always lose x% of resources on fail
"EFFECT=x,y" - Lose between x% and y% of resources on fail
"EFFECT=x,y,z" - Lose between x% and z% of resources on fail (weighted by y)
If EFFECT is not set then resource loss will be as normal -> 0-50% resources lost.
- Added: TAG.OVERRIDE.GUARDS on regions to specify different guards per region.
- Added: Arguments for @CallGuards trigger:
ARGN1 = Guard ID that will be created. (writable)

ARGO = An already spawned guard that will be used, unless ARGN2 has been set to 1.
06-01-2007, MrSugarCube (Script pack)
- Updated: sphere_skills.scp (Removed EFFECT property from Alchemy and updated [COMMENT SKILL x] block)
07-01-2007, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1007: War/Peace button on paperdoll not correct when logging in with war mode.
08-01-2007, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1004: Target cursor appearing when calling functions starting with "SET" or "X".
- Added #1013: SYSMESSAGELOC, for sending localized messages to clients. SMSGL can also be used as a shortcut.
Syntax is: "SYSMESSAGELOC color,clilocid[,arguments]"
All arguments must be separated by a comma ",". Specify -1 for color if you do not wish to override it.
Some examples of this being used (latest clilocs) are:
"SYSMESSAGELOC -1,502771" - Displays "You cannot reach that."
"SYSMESSAGELOC 2,1042758,MrSugarCube" - Displays "You are now loyal to MrSugarCube." in blue
"SYSMESSAGELOC -1,1062695,MrSugarCube,4,5" - Displays "MrSugarCube rolls the dice and gets a 4 and
a 5!"
- Modified #1013: '@color,font,unicode' in messages is now '@color,font,mode'. You can specify 1 for mode if
you wish to use unicode (like before), or specify 2 if you wish to use a localized message (useful for
overriding messages in sphere_msgs.scp). The above localization examples used with this method would be:
"SYSMESSAGE @,,2 502771"
"SYSMESSAGE @2,,2 1042758,MrSugarCube"
"SYSMESSAGE @,,2 1062695,MrSugarCube,4,5"

checks on a dclicked item won't be performed.
16-01-2007, MrSugarCube
- Added #1029: @Cancel trigger to MENUs and SKILLMENUs.
- Modified: Items displayed on MENUs and SKILLMENUs can now be coloured. This can be done by prefixing the
item description with "@color" (in the same way that sysmessages can be coloured). For example,
"ON=i_sword_viking @2 This is a viking sword" will display a blue sword on the menu.
- Modified: Cancelling a PROMPTCONSOLE prompt no longer prevents the callback function from being called.
16-01-2007, SaCi (Script pack)

- Added: First version of support for TNG's webscript reader. Use console command
"tngstrip" to create a file what contains the information TNG needs from all
your scripts (thus completely useless for script thieves). The file will be
placed at the location defined with "StripPath=" in sphere.ini and is named
"tngstrip.scp. Can be delivered either by a dedicated web server or the built-in
of sphere itself.
15-02-2007, Babidi (Script pack)

- Added #1079: ARGO in f_onchar_create, f_onchar_delete and f_onaccount_login
is now the the client that is performing the action (note that at the time
these functions are called, there is no character attached to the client so
character properties are not accessible).

GOLD += 5000 and so on.
- Fixed: NPCs not being able to stumble upon hidden player character.
05-03-2007, Furio
- Fixed #1098: Explosion potion activate with decay timer also if not activated.

skill value AFTER the change happens. RETURN 1 (or 2, or 666) means that the
skill will NOT change.
29-06-2007, Torfo
- Added: ADDMD5. If md5 is enabled in the sphere.ini you can use ADDMD5 to
bypass the hashing algorithm, if MD5 isn't enabled it's the same as ADD.
Usage: "ACCOUNT ADDMD5 name hash"
06-07-2007, Nazghul

comes from LocalAddress and/or 127.0.0.1
19-07-2007, MrSugarCube
- Added: Support for packet changes in client 6.0.1.7. With clients running
on slower connections there may still be issues as Sphere cannot identify
the 4th digit of the client version until after the client has logged in.
If you want to override all 6.0.1.* clients to use the 6.0.1.7 packet
changes (and thus correct the issue with slower connections, but at the
same time remove support for 6.0.1.0-6 clients), find the following line
in sphereCrypt.ini:
0600010 02F2BA7ED 0A2817E7F ENC_TFISH // 6.00.10
and change it to:
0600018 02F2BA7ED 0A2817E7F ENC_TFISH // 6.00.18
- Added: FIXWEIGHT function for characters, which acts the same as FIXWEIGHT
does on containers (recalculates the total weight of the items in their
possession).
29-07-2007, Nazghul

10-08-2007, MrSugarCube
- Added: Support for AOS Custom Housing through a new item type 't_multi_custom'.
> See the sphere_item_multis_foundations.scp and add-on/House_Placement
scripts for examples of it's use.
> Custom houses (t_multi_custom) will be saved to a new save file named
spheremultis.scp.
> Note that Sphere will require access to doors.txt, misc.txt, floors.txt,
teleprts.txt, roof.txt, and walls.txt from the UO folder as these provide
lists of valid items. Also, all these items should exist in scripts for them
to be added to a building - note that the default script pack is currently
missing several sets of floors and walls.
> New functions and properties have been added that can be used with items of
the type t_multi_custom. These are:
-- References --
"DESIGNER" The player currently designing the building.
-- Properties --
"COMPONENTS" (r) The number of components in the building design.
"FIXTURES" (r) The number of fixtures in the building design (doors
and teleporters/t_door and t_telepad).
"DESIGN.x.KEY" (r) Accesses component x in the building design and
returns the given property. Possible properties are:
ID: The ID of the component.
DX: The x offset of the component.
DY: The y offset of the component.
DZ: The z offset of the component.
D: The x,y,z offset of the component.
FIXTURE: Returns 1 if the component is a fixture.
"DESIGNER" (r) The uid of the player designing the building (or 0).
"EDITAREA" (r) The editable range of coordinates when in design
mode (TopLeftX,TopLeftY,BottomRightX,BottomRightY).

unexpected things will happen if you've set this to be a non-magic skill (for
example, Begging), so make sure the SKF_MAGIC flag is set on such skills.
14-12-2007, coruja747 (Script pack)

21-12-2007, MrSugarCube
- Modified: Ships now move 2 spaces at a time instead of 1. This reduces a lot
of lag caused by ship movement and also fixes overhead messages disappearing
whilst the ship is in motion.
- Added: SHIPSPEED property to ship ITEMDEFs. This controls how often and how far
the ship will move. SHIPSPEED.PERIOD and SHIPSPEED.TILES can be used to return
the separate values. Usage:
"SHIPSPEED=5,3" Ship will move 3 tiles every half a second.
"SHIPSPEED=1,5" Ship will move 5 tiles every tenth of a second.
"SHIPSPEED=20,2" Ship will move 2 tiles every 2 seconds.
Note 1: If there is less space available than specified by SHIPSPEED.TILES,
the ship will still move as far as possible before stopping (so if a ship is
set to move 10 tiles and is heading towards a coast that is 16 tiles away, the
ship will move 10 tiles, then 6 tiles, and then stop.
Note 2: TAG.OVERRIDE.SHIPSPEED.PERIOD and TAG.OVERRIDE.SHIPSPEED.TILES can also
be set on the ships themselves to override their speed on an individual basis.
22-12-2007, Nazghul
- Added: Triggers @NPCAction and @NPCSpecialAction
@NPCSpecialAction
If the NPC has a lot of spare time (i.e., nothing else to do) it
looks for some special action. For example, giant spiders lay webs,
and fire elems leave fire patches. This trigger fires on ANY type
of creature. If you return 1, it will not do it's special action,
on return 0 it will (what, as said above, will only be true with
giant spiders and fire elems; you can script other NPC special
events yourself).
@NPCAction
AI-related trigger. If the situation is so the NPC will do something
due to it's AI - things like animals pooping the ground, vendors
going off/on duty, (un)equipping a lightsource when it's dark,
(un)equipping a weapon when fighting, stabler feeding animals or
giving players food for their animals etc. - (once hardcoded behaviour
was planned also for beggars who should sleep at night, for thieves,
undead mages, healers, and more, but never realized. Now you can script
this yourself) this trigger will be fired. On RETURN 0
the NPC will continue with what it wants to do, RETURN 1 will abort it.
Both triggers will fire only if EF_NPCAct_Triggers is SET and
EF_Minimize_Triggers is NOT SET in the sphere.INI. SO if you don't
change your INI, everything will stay as it was before.
22-12-2007, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1341: Arguments not being parsed correctly for commands entered
on the console.
- Fixed #1331: Script verbs not being parsed correctly when there is a
space in them (ie. TAG.xxx_ = zzz).
04-01-2008, Nazghul
- Added: Triggers @Mount and @Dismount, both are character trigger, firing
when a character tries to mount/dismout it's ride (and will be able to).
@DISMOUNT
ARGO is the UID of the (still disconnected!) pet.
RETURN 1 stops the dismount process.
@MOUNT
ARGO is the UID of the NPC bound to be ridden.
RETURN 1 stops the mounting process.

CENTER.X = x coord of map center
CENTER.Y = y coord of map center
SECTOR.SIZE = size of sectors
SECTOR.ROWS = qty of sector rows for the map
SECTOR.COLS = qty of sector columns for the map
SECTOR.QTY = total number of sectors for the map
- Added: FeatureKR and Kr reslevel (6). Guess what they do (it's a wip).

DIALOGLIST.$x.ID ($x = a number between 0 and DIALOGLIST.COUNT-1) the ID of the
respective gump dialog, and DIALOGLIST.$x.COUNT the number of active instances of
this dialog. So to close a specified gump, DIALOGCLOSE should do.
- Added KRTOOLBARSTATUS (prop/verb) and @UserKRToolbar (ARGN1 type, ARGN2 arg) to
interact with the hotbar in the KR client.
03-02-2008, Shadow Dragon
- added @KarmaChange, @FameChange. Called when Karma/Fame adjusting.
ARGN1 = Karma/Fame modifier, it's writable.

28-04-2008, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1394: Advanced pathfinding (NPC_AI_PATH) allowing NPCs to make invalid movements
(for example walking whilst paralyzed). Some other adjustments have also been made,
allowing NPCs to properly assess characters that may be blocking the way (to walk around
them), negotiate corners with EF_DiagonalWalkCheck enabled, and attempt to compensate
when new obstacles block a previously valid path.
- Fixed #1390: Locals not working in SKILLMENUs.

auction system.
19-05-2008, Shadow Dragon
- Modified: GOLD property adds new gold stacks to bankbox.
21-05-2008, Nazghul
- Added: Combat flags to Sphere.ini to allow stacking armor and aimed hits. Example of usage
is in scripts/AddOns.
Aimed hits are controlled by tags on the "hitter": TAG.HITPREFERENCE holds the targetted
zone: 1=head, 2=neck/throat, 3=back, 4=chest, 5=arms, 6=hands, 7=legs, 8=feet (if the value
is out of this range it will be changed by %9; "0" means: no preference set);
TAG.HITPREFERENCE_CHANCE (0..1000) is the chance to really hit the desired area;
TAG.HITPREFERENCE.BONUS is the percent the damage is raised when hit where desired,
TAG.HITPREFERENCE.PENALTY is the percent the damage is lowered if the area was missed.
The last two values are defaulting to "30".
The system is perhaps useful to script a system where a player can look for weak armored
bodyparts of his opponent and try to hit him there; could be essential if armor stacking
is used.

- Fixed: Code not being skipped properly when incorrect loop syntax is used.

menu)
Note: Clients only specify the character they're viewing (ARGO) when pressing the

- Modified: @Destroy on items and characters is triggered before deletion, not after. This way
all of the item/character properties are fully accessible.
"return 1" forbids deletion. WARNING! putting return 1 in this trigger means it won't be deleted
in any possible way! Use it with caution.

31-08-2008, MrSugarCube
- Added #1507: REVERT function to custom housing (t_multi_custom), calling this will clear any
uncommitted changes that have been made to the building design.
03-09-2008, Nazghul
- Added #1504: Optional second parameter "amount" to MAKEITEM. Please understand that the
"additional" items crafted will neither fire any trigger, nor give experience or skill. So,
from that point of view there's no difference between "MAKEITEM i_dagger" and "MAKEITEM i_dagger,10"
(except for the number of daggers created). If the resources you have are insufficiant for
the amount, it will be shortened respectively.
08-09-2008, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1514: Players and NPCs unable to cast spells.
- Fixed #1508: Dropped items stacking regardless of their difference in height.
09-09-2008, MrSugarCube

information for the components specified in the mul files, and when accessing
individual components (BASECOMPONENT.n.[ID/DX/DY/DZ/D] there is an additional "VISIBLE"
property which returns 0 if the component is invisible (usually applies to doors and signs).
16-09-2008, Nazghul
- Added: Override Tags for item/action related sound.
TAG.OVERRIDE.DOORSOUND_CLOSE / TAG.OVERRIDE.DOORSOUND_OPEN
(what it does should be obvious)
TAG.OVERRIDE.PORTCULISSOUND - holds an sfx number played when
opening/closing a portculis
TAG.OVERRIDE.DROPSOUND - sfx an items makes when dropped. Att:
system default sounds sometimes change due to the amount dropped
(gold, ingots), or on what surface/item the item is dropped. All
this will be overridden!
TAG.OVERRIDE.SOUND_HIT - on weapons holds the sound when it hits,
regardless of WHAT it hits!
TAG.OVERRIDE.SOUND_MISS - on weapons, sound they make when missing
all TAGs need to hold a number (defname MAY be possible -> test!),
what also can be "0" (zero) with the meaning: don't play any sound.
17-09-2008, Nazghul
- Added: Trigger @PICKUP_STACK what fires only if an item was picked up from a pile.
ARGO is the remaining part of the stack. (There's a char trigger itemPICKUP_STACK
also)
18-09-2008, Nazghul
- Added: TAG.OVERRIDE.RUNNINGPENALTY and TAG.OVERRIDE.STAMINALOSSATWEIGHT to
override the respective INI settings on a per character base

- Modified: IsNearType (including IsNearType.P) now accepts a third parameter, which when set to 1
will cause the function to include multi components in the search.
- Added: New mt_mount flag (00400) which will allow character bodies to become capable of mounting
rides. Note that this flag is not required for the bodies that could already mount rides prior
to this flag's existence (c_man/c_woman/c_man_gm/c_elf_man/c_elf_woman). Also be aware that not
all character bodies are intended to be used for mounting rides and won't have proper riding
animations.
29-11-2008, MrSugarCube (Script pack)
- Updated: sphere_defs.scp (Added mt_mount to the can_flags defname section)
05-12-2008, MrSugarCube

when showing guild member titles)
07-12-2008, MrSugarCube
- Added #1086: Skill degradation for skills that have been set to decrease. @SkillChange trigger
is called for decaying skills just as it does when they gain (compare to <> to
determine if the skill is being increased or lowered).
- Added: Experimental flag EF_UseNetworkMultiVersionMod. This modifies the behaviour of the
EF_UseNetworkMulti flag (don't forget to set this too) so that clients older than 4.0.0 will
be unaffected and continue to use the original networking code as if the EF_UseNetworkMulti
flag was never set.
03-01-2009, Dwayne1988 (Script pack)
- Updated: spherechar_human.scp, spherechar_evil.scp (Axis Tags were messed up, came after

If used not in this syntax, then gives old error about MAP is readonly.
08-02-2009, MrSugarCube

use that item." being sent to players as they try to free themselves from spider webs.
- Added #1564: PetsInheritNotoriety setting to sphere.ini. This can be used to specify which
notoriety flags a pet will inherit from its master (so if for example a pet has an evil owner
and the NotoEvil flag is set then the pet will also show as evil regardless of its real notoriety).
22-02-2009, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1575: Improved handling of unicode speech in Linux build.
- Fixed #1537: TEST in skillmenus not being parsed in the same way as TESTIF.
22-02-2009, nazghul
ALPHA additions:
- Added: ARROWQUEST x,y command now addts TAG.arrowquest_x and TAG.arrowquest_y to the
character it was used on; ARROWQUEST without arguments (to remove the quest arrow)
clears these tags.
- Added: Character trigger @UserQuestArrowClick now has ARGN2 (x-ccord) and ARGN3 (y-coord).
Just rightclicking the arrow does not clear the tags mentioned above, so the quest arrow
can be restarted by script if the user illegitimely switched it off
26-02-2009, MrSugarCube
- Modified #1560: Separated PROMPTCONSOLE from the targeting system. Targeting no longer interferes
with prompts and vice-versa.

19-04-2009, MrSugarCube (Script pack)
- Updated #1469: sphere_item_ground_tiles.scp (Corrected height of i_waterfall_low)

05-05-2009, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1451: Missing mana checks, skill checks and @Select triggers not being fired before casting,
when precasting is enabled.
- Modified: Separated the movement behaviour of the MAGICF_PRECAST flag into a new MAGIC_FREEZEONCAST
flag. Enable MAGICF_PRECAST to enable casting before targeting, and enable MAGICF_FREEZEONCAST to
prevent characters from moving whilst casting (enable both to retain the previous behaviour of
MAGICF_PRECAST). Also added SPELLFLAG_NOFREEZEONCAST to disable the effects of MAGICF_FREEZEONCAST
for individual spells.
06-05-2009, MrSugarCube
- Added #1599: SpellTimeout setting to Sphere.ini. If set to a value greater than zero then when
casting a spell the player is given this many seconds to choose a target before the spell is
automatically cancelled.
16-05-2009, MrSugarCube
- Modified #1610: Cure spell just sends the packet needed to update the health bar rather than sending
a full refresh of the entire screen.
- Added #1609: MAGICF_SUMMONWALKCHECK flag to ensure that summoned creatures can only be successfully
summoned on tiles that are walkable for them (i.e. a sea creature can only be summoned on water).
16-05-2009, MrSugarCube (Script pack)
- Updated: sphere_msgs.scp (Added msg_summon_invalidtarg defmessage)
18-05-2009, MrSugarCube
- Added #1466: MAGICF_NOFIELDSOVERWALLS flag to enable additional checks when casting field spells to
prevent them from passing through blocking objects (CAN_I_BLOCK and/or CAN_I_DOOR).
20-05-2009, MrSugarCube
- Added #1604: PROMPTCONSOLEU function. This is an alternative to the PROMPTCONSOLE which enables the
client to respond with unicode text.
- Added: SYSMESSAGELOCEX, an extended version of SYSMESSAGELOC which can be used for sending localized
messages to clients with a non-localized string attached to the start or end of the message. SMSGLEX
can also be used as a shortcut.
Syntax is: "SYSMESSAGELOCEX color,clilocid,flags,affix[,arguments]"
All arguments must be separated by a comma ",". Specify -1 for color if you do not wish to override
it. Known possible values for flags are:
0x00 = Append text to message
0x01 = Prepend text to message
0x02 = Forces message to show as a system message
A couple of examples of this being used (latest clilocs) are:
"SYSMESSAGELOCEX -1,1008078,01,MrSugarCube" - Displays "MrSugarCube : Attempting to heal you."
"SYSMESSAGELOCEX -1,3002003,00,Smoking is bad for your health" - Displays "Note to self: Smoking is bad for your health"
For overriding messages in sphere_msgs.scp (or other message functions such as SAY and MESSAGE) the
syntax "@hue,font,3 clilocid,flags,affix[,arguments]" can be used, for example:
"SAY @022,,3 1008097,01,MrSugarCube" - Object says "MrSugarCube : poisoned you!" in red
30-05-2009, Nazghul
- Fixed: @GetHit always gave damagetype type (argn2) 0C02 (physical | slash | pierce). Now the type is set
to dam_physical, dam_slash or dam_pierce is added depending on weapon type (wrestling and mace weapons
don't set extra flags).
- Added: TAG.OVERRIDE.DAMAGETYPE for weapon type items. Holds a numerical value and overrides the
type specific damage type.
20-06-2009, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1617: Dispel and Mass Dispel spells sending an unnecessary full client update to all players
touched by the spell.
21-06-2009, MrSugarCube

02-08-2009, MrSugarCube

- Fixed: Archery buttes not checking for OVERRIDE.AMMOTYPE and OVERRIDE.ANIM* tags on the
character's weapon.
- Modified #1642: Reduced delay between asynchronous database query callbacks.
- Added: Skill flag SKF_RANGED. Combine this with the SKF_FIGHT flag to create ranged
(i.e. archery) combat skills.
30-08-2009, MrSugarCube (Script pack)
- Updated: sphere_defs.scp (Added SKF_RANGED definition)
07-09-2009, MrSugarCube
- Added: Console command "d ui" to generate a file named "unscripted_items.scp" that
contains *basic* definitions for items in tiledata.mul that have no corresponding
Sphere script.
12-09-2009, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1623: RESTEST requiring 1 of an item when checking for a quantity of 0. This also
affects other resource-list-based functions and properties such as CONSUME, FOODTYPE,
RESOURCES, SKILLMAKE, SKILLTEST, etc.
- Fixed #1655: Setting RAINCHANCE and COLDCHANCE to zero does did not disable rain or snow.
- Modified: When loading a WORLD* block from a save Sphere can resolve defnames to find the
object being loaded (like the ones in sphere_backward_compatibility.scp, for example).
12-09-2009, Coruja (Script pack)
- Updated #1645: sphere_template_vend.scp, sphere_item_resources.scp, spherechar_human.scp,
sphere_item_provisions_potions.scp, sphere_backward_compatibility.scp (Corrected spelling
of the wyrm heart defname (i_reag_worm_heart->i_reag_wyrm_heart))
- Updated #1654: sphere_defs.scp (Adjusted height of the Meer characters)
13-09-2009, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1595: @Destroy trigger not being fired for items inside removed containers. When
returning 1 in @Destroy on an item inside a container about to be deleted, the item will
be dropped to the ground (unless the item has already been moved elsewhere).
- Fixed #1656: Exception when players trade and item 01e5e has not been set as a container
type.
05-12-2009, MrSugarCube
- Fixed: Unable to connect to remoteadmin from telnet clients that operate in 'line mode'
and need the enter key to be pressed after CTRL+A/Space (the one in Ubuntu, for example).
- Modified: Rewritten networking system, based on the code Vjaka wrote for 0.57 combined
with updates added since such as EF_UseNetworkMulti. This new system introduces features
such as packet prioritisation which should help to keep clients responsive even in areas
with a large number of objects.
The EF_UseNetworkMulti and EF_UseNetworkMultiVersion experimental flags have been removed
from the ini and different settings have been added to a new "Network Behaviour" section.
The default settings should suit most users, but in some cases it may help to tweak the
MaxPacketsPerTick and MaxQueueSize settings.
06-12-2009, MrSugarCube
- Added: Support for gargoyle character creation. For the option to be available the player
must have a RESDISP of 7+ and the FEATURE_SA_UPDATE flag needs to be enabled in Sphere.ini.
ARGN3 in the f_onchar_create (sphere_serv_trigger.scp) is now the character race (1=human,
2=elf, 3=gargoyle).
- Added: Basic support for mysticism spellbook and skill (the actual spell effects need to be
scripted).
- Added #1657: Support for the increased tiledata size in client 7.0.0+. As a consequence,
multis must now start from 08000 instead of 04000 and scripts must be adjusted accordingly
(the default script pack has been updated). If an older client encounters an item within the
04000-07fff range they will only see a worldgem bit (01ea7).
- Fixed #1661: Status bar not correctly showing green or yellow in 7.0.0+ clients.
- Modified: The size of Map5.mul is now automatically detected.
06-12-2009, MrSugarCube (Script pack)
- Added: spherechar_sa.scp (Added gargoyle character definitions)
- Added: sphere_item_provisions_alchemy_magic_sa.scp (Added mysticism spellbook and scrolls)

- Updated: spheretables.scp (Added sphere_map5.scp and sphere_map_points5.scp to resources,
commented out by default)
12-12-2009, MrSugarCube
- Added: Support for gargoyle flying ability. Flying characters will have statf_hovering set
on their FLAGS property and will be allowed to pass over items that have the CAN_I_HOVER
flag set.
The exact effects of the statf_hovering flag are:
- Can pass over hidden 'hover over' tiles to get to special areas
- Can move at the same speed as a mounted player
- Height is increased by 4 in LOS/movement checks (same effects as when mounted)
- When stamina is lost on movement, the running penalty is always applied
- Always revealed when moving whilst hidden
- Will not teleport off ships when moving on to a ship plank
- Added: MULTIDEF block. This can be used to safeguard against any future changes to the size
of tiledata.mul. This basically acts as a 'shortcut' for ITEMDEF, except the ID will
automatically be increased by 08000. Items defined with this are still accessible as normal
via SERV.ITEMDEF.id(+08000)/defname, or SERV.MULTIDEF.id/defname can be used if you prefer
for consistency.
- Added #1674: PINS property to maps, to return the number of pins on the map.
- Fixed #1672: Situations where returning 0 in a trigger would return as 2.
12-12-2009, MrSugarCube (Script pack)
- Updated: sphere_defs.scp (Added defnames for statf_hovering, mt_hover, can_i_hover,
tilef_hoverover, t_hoverover)
- Updated: sphere_item_multis_foundations.scp, sphere_item_multis_houses_ships.scp,

sphere_item_provisions_ore.scp (Replaced custom script IDs with defnames to fix conflicts
with new tiledata size -- some items did not have a defname so watch out if you have any of
these in an existing world save)
13-12-2009, MrSugarCube

member, to change who the party master is. The character must be an existing member of the
party and cannot already be the master.
- Added #1658: @TargetCancel trigger to spells (and @SpellTargetCancel to characters). This
is called when a player cancels targeting with a spell.
ARGN1 = the spell that was being cast
ARGO = the item used to cast the spell (e.g. a wand or scroll)
RETURN 1 = suppress the cancellation message
- Added: @Wait trigger to skills (and @SkillWait to characters). This is called whenever
Sphere wants to check if a character must wait before starting a skill. Normally this
will be when a skill is selected from the skill menu (before @Select), but also when
snooping a container or using a musical instrument.
ARGN1 = the skill the character is attempting
ARGN2 = the skill that is currently being used
RETURN 0 = The character can start the other skill (bypasses default checks)
RETURN 1 = The character must wait (bypasses default checks)
RETURN 2 = Perform default checks

- Modified: Pets default to guarding their master instead of following, and no longer attack
the same target as their master when in "follow" mode.
17-01-2010, MrSugarCube
- Added: Experimental flag "EF_NetworkOutThread". If this is enabled then outgoing data will
be sent in a separate background thread.

but if this is set to 0 then [most] packets won't be prioritised.
24-01-2010, MrSugarCube

- Fixed: Previous and Next buttons not working on the tip of the day window.

boundaries.
24-05-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1756: Packets being sent for items in containers the client cannot see inside (A
side-effect of this is that CANSEE/LOS will return 0 for such items, until the client
opens/snoops the container).
25-05-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1754: Armor rating in status window not updated when equipped armor pieces receive
damage.
29-05-2010, MrSugarCube

- Fixed #1760: Players unable to see items in the other player's trade window.
13-06-2010, MrSugarCube
- Added: 'TooltipMode' setting to sphere.ini. When this is set to '1', instead of always
sending a full tooltip packet for every item, Sphere will send a smaller 'header' packet
and wait for the client to request the full information (for unchanged tooltips, clients
can use a local cache and less data will need to be sent).
Note: Since the header packet requires knowledge of what the tooltip will contain,
@ClientTooltip should be expected to fire twice in this mode (once for the header, once
for the full data). ARGN1 can be used to determine if the client asked for the tooltip,
but it is important that you do not use it to change the tooltip content.
- Added: Support for caching tooltip data for characters and items. Whilst a tooltip is
cached, @ClientTooltip won't be fired. A new 'TooltipCache' setting is provided in
sphere.ini to control how long a cached tooltip will be valid for (set to 0 to disable
caching). If the new tooltip mode is being used then enabling this would be advisable
to avoid having @ClientTooltip fired twice for each client.
- Modified: RESENDTOOLTIP now accepts parameters to control how the tooltip should be
sent.
The syntax is now: "RESENDTOOLTIP [sendfull=0,usecache=0]"
'sendfull' - 1 to force the full tooltip to be sent, or 0 to send just the header (when
TooltipMode=1, otherwise the full data will be sent anyway)
'usecache' = 1 to use cached tooltip if available, or 0 to clear the cache and force
@ClientTooltip to fire
02-07-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed: Possible exception on Linux builds when an NPC moves.
03-07-2010, MrSugarCube
- Modified #1761: The fix for issue #1756 (sending packets for items inside unopened
containers) must now be activated using the EF_FixCanSeeInClosedConts experimental flags,
since it has been reported to cause client crashes.
28-07-2010, MrSugarCube
- Added #1776: P.COMPONENTS to access multi components at a location in the same way as with
P.STATICS. Usage is identical to P.STATICS, except that the COLOR property does not exist
for multi components. P.COMPONENTS.n.MULTI can be used as a reference to the multi that
contains the nth component at a location.
06-08-2010, ShiryuX
- Added #1790: TAG.NOTO.PERMAGREY which sets the player's notoriety to neutral/grey.

- Fixed #1772: Cooking skill wasn't counted as a crafting skill.
07-08-2010, ShiryuX (Script pack)

- Added #1566: MD5PASSWORD account function/property to instert or change a MD5 hash as password.
This way you can call: "SERV.ACCOUNT foobar MD5PASSWORD f4d9ff51c527e8ef67d924d4f0a6db66"
- Fixed #1799: Accounts created using ADDMD5 won't cut the hash anymore.

19-08-2010, ShiryuX

Any other way to access the console (physical or remote desktop) can still use it.
21-08-2010, ShiryuX
- Added: Basic support for bard spellbook and skill (the actual spell effects need to be scripted).
- Modified #1800: @UserWarMode will now have ARGN2 parameter, which by default is 1.
ARGN2 = 1 --> Will abort the skill action
0 --> Will _NOT_ abort the skill action

23-08-2010, MrSugarCube (Script pack)
- Updated: sphere_msgs.scp (Updated npc_vendor_s1 and npc_vendor_b1 defmessages)
25-08-2010, ShiryuX
- Fixed #1795: Characters were able to dclick equipable items with attr_move_never.
05-09-2010, Khaos (Script pack)
- Added: sphere_item_provisions_clothing_sa.scp, sphere_item_provisions_armor_sa.scp,
sphere_item_provisions_weapons_sa.scp (These files now contain all the default scripts
for Stygian Abyss weapons, armor, clothing, jewelry, and other miscellaneous items.
As a note: all throwing weapons use the t_weapon_sword type. There is no archery
animations for gargoyles)
- Updated: sphere_skills.scp (Added FLAGS=skf_ranged|skf_fight to the throwing skill (Skill 57))
09-09-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1806: Possible causes of a critical "timer expired" error on Linux builds.
11-09-2010, ShiryuX
- Fixed: 'group' keyword not being stripped with tngstrip command (used for locations tab).
13-09-2010, MrSugarCube

27-09-2010, MrSugarCube

completes.
- Fixed: Large packets sent by the client sometimes not parsed correctly, leading to strange
behaviours or console errors.
30-09-2010, ShiryuX
- Fixed #1825: not writable books not displaying content for 5.0.0+ clients.
- Modified: Axis strip to use only ONE file to dump the stripped scripts (like TNG strip does)
Commands are = TNG: "strip tng" or "tngstrip" (dump file sphere_strip_tng.scp)
Axis: "strip axis" or "strip" (dump file sphere_strip_axis.scp)
04-10-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed: Editing a book page can cause the following page to be deleted.
07-10-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1826: Male characters unable to walk over items with CAN_I_LIGHT set.
09-10-2010, ShiryuX
- Added: "TAG.OVERRIDE.NOTO" and "TAG.OVERRIDE.NOTO.$uid" as notoriety flag overrides.
TAG.OVERRIDE.NOTO is a general override for the notoriety flag.
TAG.OVERRIDE.NOTO.$uid overrides the noto flag according to the viewer $uid.
* NOTE: The general override is applied before the viewer tag. So it will override EVERYTHING.
Usable flags can be found on sphere_defs.scp
09-10-2010, ShiryuX (Script pack)
- Updated: sphere_defs.scp (added noto_types defintion)
11-10-2010, Khaos (Script pack)
- Updated: sphere_item_provisions_weapons_sa.scp (fixed some typos)
- Updated: spherechar_human.scp (Female barber was using male barber names instead of
the female name list)
13-10-2010, MrSugarCube
- Added: Support for packet changes found in client 7.0.9.0.
- Added: Support for new tiledata.mul and multi.mul formats found with client 7.0.9.0.
Since the tiledata size has increased again (supporting a maximum slot of 0FFFF),
multis must now start from 010000. If multi scripts are already using the new MULTIDEF
syntax then everything should work without any change to scripts.
14-10-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1832: Exception on Linux build when logging in.
18-10-2010, MrSugarCube
- Modified: Ships use their HEIGHT property to detect objects that are on the deck,
rather than assuming a value of 3.
22-10-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1828: Instability when receiving large amounts of data from a client.
- Fixed #1838: Fixed "Bad MENU item id" error when trying to display a custom item in a
menu or skill menu.

64 items.

- Added: Race selectors to newbie templates. Code works as follows: [newbie xxx ] Races
that can be set are "human", "elf", "gargoyle", or leave it default for normal functionality.
This works for the male_default, female_default, and all the skills defined in Newbie sections.
- Added #1598: All max* stat values (Hits, stam, mana, food) can be _safely_ set up to 1 million.
Though you can go past this, we don't recommend it. Note: This should not be used on players
max values, and we _highly_ don't recommend it.
03-11-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed: Exception on linux build when accessing guild functions without an SRC.
14-11-2010, MrSugarCube

destination.
10-12-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1854: LogMask setting not have any effect on the messages being logged.
12-12-2010, MrSugarCube
- Added #1865: ARROWQUEST function now accepts a third parameter to specify the arrow's id
(defaults to 0). This can be used to display more than one arrow at once on newer clients,
but bear in mind that older clients can still only show one arrow at a time and so the id
will effectively be ignored in their case.
If an id has been specified when showing the arrow, then you will also need to specify it
again when you want to remove it ("ARROWQUEST" with no arguments will only remove the arrow
with id 0).
ARROWQUEST 1000,1000,0 // show an arrow pointing to 1000,1000, id=0
ARROWQUEST 1020,1000,1 // show an arrow pointing to 1020,1000, id=1
ARROWQUEST 1000,1020,2 // show an arrow pointing to 1000,1020, id=2
ARROWQUEST 0,0,1 // remove the arrow pointing to 1020,1000
21-12-2010, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1869: Older clients freezing when an item or character with a long name speaks.

26-12-2010, ShiryuX
- Fixed #1729: NPC now teaches you if there's a skill to decrease and room for the new skill.
In before, if you were near the skillcap, the npc just rejected your train request.
- Fixed #1873: Shop list tooltips are now being fully sent to the players.
26-12-2010, Coruja (Script pack)
- Updated #1876: sphere_item_deco_lightsources.scp and sphere_item_deco_furniture.scp
(changed typo in candelabra's defnames, was using candleabra instead)
28-12-2010, ShiryuX
- Fixed #1879: 'nightsight' function now sends light level update instead of full client update.
28-12-2010, Coruja (Script pack)
- Updated #1877: sphere_item_deco_furniture.scp (fixed dupelist of items 0a2b and 0b5e)
02-01-2011, MrSugarCube
- Added: UseExtraBuffer setting to sphere.ini to enable an additional data buffer for outgoing
network data.
- Fixed #1858: Linux build considering connections lost when a non-critical error occurs during
data sending.
02-01-2011, MrSugarCube (Script pack)
- Updated #1876: sphere_backward_compatibility.scp (Added backward compatibility defnames for
candelabras)
08-01-2011, MrSugarCube
- Added #1845: Support to automatically invalidate and resend tooltips when certain properties
change on items or characters, via new AUTOTOOLTIPRESEND setting. See Sphere.ini for
available flags that can be used to control which properties are monitored. Note that some
scripts won't trigger the tooltips to resend (for example the 0008 flag won't detect a script
that sets MORE1 on armour, so a manual RESENDTOOLTIP would still be needed).
- Fixed: Possible delay between sending packets required to display buy/sell menus.
09-01-2011, ShiryuX
- Added #1881: TAT_AS_FULL trigger type to TRIGGER function to set ARGO, ARGN and ARGS.
Example: TRIGGER @MyTest,,01,100,200,300,here,start,my,args
will call @MyTest with ARGO.UID=01, ARGN1=100, ARGN2=200, ARGN3=300
and ARGS=here,start,my,args (this supports ARGV[].)
- Modified: Now sphere reads registry keys from lastest clients (no need to manually set them)
09-01-2011, ShiryuX (Script pack)
- Updated: sphere_defs.scp (added tat_as_full definition)
09-01-2011, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1886: Exception caused by an infinite loop when AutoTooltipResend detects a property
value being changed from within an @ClientTooltip trigger. Now, AutoTooltipResend won't
trigger another tooltip resend if a monitored property changes during the resend.
- Fixed #1814: AutoResendTooltip setting not working when an item property is changed just
before it is placed in a container (e.g. when the item amount changes during stacking).
10-01-2011, MrSugarCube
- Added #1872: Support for setting SPEEDMODE to 4, as handled by newer clients. This can be
used to prevent a player from moving. Movement checks have been adjusted accordingly so
whilst older clients won't understand this speed mode, Sphere will still block their
movement attempts (with a slight 'rubber banding' effect as you'd normally get when freezing
a player by other means).
11-01-2011, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1888: Exception caused by AutoTooltipResend attempting to send tooltips for deleted
items.
21-01-2011, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1894: Explode function placing a comma at the beginning of the result.
21-01-2011, Coruja (Script pack)

"Gargoyle City" to "Vel Lor Reg").
22-01-2011, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1868: Memory leak when TooltipCache setting is disabled (thanks Torfo).

- Fixed: Wage amount not being passed through to the 'npc_pet_wage_cost' defmessage.
- Fixed: Spyglasses not searching properly for the nearest land tile.
