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.
This should be handled in server scripts instead so that servers with respawning NPCs can be have kills shared across parties and witnesses instead of shared across all players on the server.
Dead players will now show up at the correct cell and position for living players, making server scripts that allow players to revive each other much more functional.
This makes it possible to send custom records used by players for their equipment before the hardcoded exchange of equipment packets takes place.
Additionally, remove the check for dead players because it has no real use and can potentially cause problems.
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.
This should clarify the real meaning of the packet and its associated event.
The event itself has been renamed from OnPlayerKillCount to OnWorldKillCount.
Add serverside script functions for determining the killers of both players and actors.
Use unsigned ints for script functions returning an object or actor's refNumIndex or mpNum.
Remove updateDeadState() from LocalPlayer and make its code part of updateStatsDynamic() for simplicity.
Previously, two players entering the same cell only sent and received their latest changes for dynamic stats, attributes, skills and equipment when they started sharing that cell.
Previously, charGenStage.end was doing double duty as both the variable indicating the number of CharGen stages and – when set to 0 – the variable indicating that CharGen was over. The latter role is now filled by a new boolean.
(cherry picked from commit 926106cf8c)
This will prevent the server from overwriting a player's human form stats with their werewolf form stats.
Additionally, share PlayerShapeshift packets last when exchanging data with another player.
OnPlayerCellState and OnActorStatsDynamic are now removed as callbacks.
The old OnCellUnload is now renamed into OnCellDeletion.
OnCellLoad and a new OnCellUnload relating to a specific player's load/unload are added.
