Restocking object containers via trading now requires the server to send back an ObjectRestock packet before it can happen.
The unused packet ID ID_SCRIPT_GLOBAL_FLOAT has been replaced with ID_OBJECT_RESTOCK.
ClientScriptGlobal is a new Worldstate packet that handles short, long and float values for global variables in clientside scripts.
Previously, short values were handled by the ScriptGlobalShort packet, while a partially implemented ScriptGlobalFloat packet also existed, but both of those packets were Object packets because they were added near the end of 2016 when only Player and Object packets existed (with the latter actually being called WorldEvent packets at the time). Both ScriptGlobalShort and ScriptGlobalFloat have now been removed.
The serverside script functions previously used to interact with ScriptGlobalShort have, however, been kept so they can be adjusted to work with local variables in clientside scripts instead in a future commit.
Rename the old WorldKillCount that was a Player packet into PlayerPlaceholder. Rename the unused CellCreate that was a Worldstate packet into WorldKillCount. On the server, move kill count-related script functions from QuestFunctions to WorldstateFunctions.
Players can no longer unilaterally use items on themselves in their inventory. When they try to use an item, they send a PlayerItemUse packet to the server with the item's details. A serverside script can then check the item and either send the packet back to make the item use go through or drop it.
Spell, potion, enchantment, creature, NPC, armor, book, clothing, miscellaneous and weapon record data can now be sent in a RecordDynamic packet. Additionally, the packets include data related to associated magical effects (for spells, potions and enchantments), data related to default inventory contents (for creatures and NPCs) and data related to body parts affected (for armor and clothing).
The server now has associated script functions for setting most of the details of the above, with the main exception being individual creature and NPC stats.
Records can either be created entirely from scratch or can use an existing record (set via the baseId variable) as a starting point for their values. In the latter case, only the values that are specifically set override the starting values. Creature and NPC records also have an inventoryBaseId that can be used on top of the baseId to base their inventories on another existing record.
The client's RecordHelper class has been heavily expanded to allow for the above mentioned functionality.
When players create spells, potions and enchantments as part of regular gameplay, they send RecordDynamic packets that provide the server with the complete details of the records that should be created. When they create enchantments, they also provide the server with armor, book, clothing and weapon records corresponding to the items they've enchanted.
This functionality added by this packet was originally supposed to be exclusive to the rewrite, but I've gone ahead and tried to provide it for the pre-rewrite in a way that can mostly be reused for the rewrite.
This should clarify the real meaning of the packet and its associated event.
The event itself has been renamed from OnPlayerKillCount to OnWorldKillCount.
ActorDeath packets are sent for dead actors before their StatsDynamic packets. They contain the actor's deathReason in a manner similar to that of PlayerDeath packets.
A future commit will replace the deathReason with a variable named killer which will be an mwmp::Target.
