Add a section, under the provisional name "Baby Steps" to describe a minimal process for editing/contributing. Basically just create an account on GitLab, fork openmw there, then edit the relevant document to create Merge Request
Previously, all crime witnesses stopped being hostile to a respawning player for as long as the player's diedSinceArrestAttempt was true. That meant that, in an area with no guards to arrest the player, crime witnesses did not enage in combat with the player at all ever again until diedSinceArrestAttempt became false.
This commit makes it so the time of the last crime is recorded for each witness, and that is then compared with the time of the LocalPlayer's last death for a one-time crime forgiveness during that player's current life.
This is essentially a gameplay adjustment for "singleplayer with respawns," and will have to be reworked to make sense for every player in multiplayer, though that requires reworking the crime system as a whole and is thus on hold.
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.
A subsequent MR will suggest moving most of this to a separate document for intermediate-level contributors, and replacing it with much simpler instructions for beginners - basically edit directly on GitLab as suggested by Psi29a on the forum here - https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&p=56458#p56457
This prevents summon duplication caused by a SummonKey sometimes being deleted immediately after being created, before the server can send back an ObjectSpawn packet spawning a creature that can be attached to the SummonKey.
