* This rewrite allows for better adaptation from the Aegis Class and Attribute fields.
* Refactored the renewal level penalty function.
* Slaves are now properly assigned an official slave mode of CanWalk, CanAttack, and NoRandomWalk.
* Removed extra Boss checks and adjusted others to use their proper functions.
* Properly implemented Skill Immunity mode to match Aegis.
* Separated MVP and Boss modes.
-- MVP mode defines when mobs should give MEXP, MVP Drops, and show the MVP sign.
-- MVP now have their own item drop configurations.
* Updated the mob_db and mob_skill_db to match the new mode structure.
-- Included a Perl tool (tools/convert_monstermode.pl) to allow people to convert their custom mobs to the new mode structure.
Thanks to @Playtester and @Lemongrass3110 for help with debugging and information!
* Implemented official behavior when attacking icewalls and traps with skills (fixes#1056)
-- Skills hitting icewalls and traps: Arrow Shower, Cold Slower, Tornado Kick, Sightless Mind, Meteor Assault, Spread Attack, Throw Huuma, Sightrasher, Sight Blaster, Earth Shaker, Rampage Blaster, Feint Bomb, Magnum Break, Fire Trap, Ice Trap, Cart Revolution, Napalm Vulcan, Triple Attack, Occult Impaction, Throw Spirit Sphere, Asura Strike, Spear Stab, Spiral Pierce, Holy Cross
-- Can target icewalls and traps but have strange behavior: Bowling Bash, Focused Arrow Strike, First Wind
-- Can hit icewalls and traps, but not target traps: Grimtooth, Raging Thrust, Blitz Beat, Napalm Beat, Fireball, Vulcan Arm, Tiger Cannon
-- Can hit icewalls and traps ONLY in PVP: Dragon Breath, Suicidal Destruction, Axe Tornado, Sky Blow
-- Can hit icewalls only: All other single target skills, Counter Slash
-- Can target icewalls but have strange behavior: Brandish Spear, Wind Cutter, Cannon Spear, Flame Launcher
-- Can not hit icewalls and traps: All unit skills, Frost Nova, Comet, Arms Cannon, Fatal Menace, Lion Howling
-- Can destroy traps but not hit icewalls: Claymore Trap
* When monsters use skills, they hit icewalls and traps and the damage displays, but they will no longer deal actual damage to the icewall or trap
-- Added an option to skill.conf with which you can define which types can damage icewalls and traps, by default it's 1 (player only), if you want to revert to previous behavior, set it to 31 (all)
* Fixed an issue where traps could not hit icewalls and other traps in PVP
* Taekwon combos can now trigger on traps
* Fixed an issue that caused damage to be displayed twice when attacking a trap with certain skills
* Fixed Feint Bomb causing knock-back to the target (see #1070)
* Fixed Talkie Box being triggered by monsters (fixes#1074)
* Requires client 2015-10-01 and newer.
* All skills are usable from from the base list to all 3 branch types.
-- Some skills still need their official activation chance and durations.
* Adjusted the char-server start point and start item split functions to be more dynamic.
Thanks to Rytech and @NovaRagnarok for their information!
Trap Invisibility, Fixes#892
* Changed `traps_setting` config values.
* 0 = Always visible (default)
* 1 = Enable invisibility in versus maps (GVG/PVP/BG)
* 2 = Enable invisibility in all maps
* Added skill unit flag `UF_HIDDEN_TRAP = 0x20000` for trap invisibility. By default, there are (renewal) Hunter traps with this flag:
* HT_SKIDTRAP
* HT_LANDMINE
* HT_ANKLESNARE
* HT_SHOCKWAVE
* HT_SANDMAN
* HT_FLASHER
* HT_FREEZINGTRAP
* HT_TALKIEBOX
* Added some skills and effects that can reveal hidden traps. By default, Detect, Sight, Ruwach, and Improve Concentration can reveal hidden traps.
* When provoked, monsters will now only switch targets when they would also change targets on damage
* Added a new option to the mob_ai setting to restore the old behavior (monsters always go after the one casting provoke)
* When casting provoke on an angry mode monster before it was attacked, it will now go for the one casting provoke and not switch back to the closest target
* Angry mode will now always be reset when the monster switches to idle
EXP on Max Level
* Fixed#942
* 'Last' EXP for max base level is 99,999,999 and 999,999,999 for Job EXP on max job level.
* Player still obtains EXP on max level (of course until both base & job reach 100%).
* This behavior is used for Base EXP check for:
* Super Novice's Explosion Spirit.
* Royal Guard's Inspiration.
* High Priest's Redemptio.
* Added config `death_penalty_maxlv`, default is set to 0. Player on max level, never loss EXP by death penalty.
* On EXP lost by death penalty. EXP will be shown as negative value.
* Fixed check for EXP value on packet `0x07f6`. EXP is limited to INT_MIN until INT_MAX by client (so don't expect client to displays value more than this!)
* Added EXP gained/lost message by `@showexp` on death penalty too.
* Fixed PR_REDEMPTIO and LG_INSPIRATION requirement …
* Only charge the Base EXP.
* Lost EXP will be displayed
* Changed `traps_setting` config values.
* 0 = Always visible (default)
* 1 = Enable invisibility in versus maps (GVG/PVP/BG)
* 2 = Enable invisibility in all maps
* Added skill unit flag `UF_HIDDEN_TRAP 0x20000` for trap invisibilty.
NOTES:
* Invisible traps are always visible for the trapper and trapper's partymates.
* If the trap is invisible, it always be hid immediately (except the people above).
* Revealed hidden traps, are always visible by everyone.
* Currently, only `HT_DETECTING` that can reveal the hidden traps (hardcoded). TODO: Sight, Ruwach, and Improve Concentration also able to reveal hidden traps.

* When casting a spell with cast time shorter than aMotion, the delay will now be set to aMotion or min_skill_delay_limit
* aMotion and min_skill_delay_limit are no longer applied at cast end nor by auto spells
* Aftercast delay can only increase the delay and never decrease it
* When there is no aftercast delay, the client will no longer show a non-existent 10 second delay
* Removed "double cast" code of Jupitel and Waterball, it's no longer needed as it fits into the official delay system
* Added a constant SECURITY_CASTTIME, which is added at cast begin and subtracted at cast end to prevent hackers to send in skill packets before the timer triggers cast end
* Set skill_amotion_leniency to 0 by default as it applies delay at cast end and would consequently block the official system from working; you can set it back to 90 or even 140 for increased security
* Fixed#942
* 'Last' EXP for max base level is 99,999,999 and 999,999,999 for Job EXP on max job level.

* Added mapflag `gvg_te`, `gvg_te_castle`, this is will be activated during WOE:TE sessions. These changes are needed because of:
* If `gvgon` is used, TE castles become `gvg`, it makes the restriction failure. Items that are supposed to only can be used/equipped in TE Castles, also affected in 'normal' GVG/WOE maps.
* These flags used form `item_noequip`, `skill_nocast`, and `status_disabled` flag 16. (If just assume TE Castles are Restricted Zone 8, the failure will occurs as point 1 above).
* Added Restricted Zone 8 for TE Guild Dungeons, to prevent marriage skills can be casted there.
* Added command `gvgon3` to set GVG for WOE:TE Castles.
* Added command `canParticipateSiegeTE` is 'hardcoded' function to check player's job that can participate in WOE:TE.
* Current usages in `GD_EMERGENCYCALL` and replace the in-script function.
* Changed default config `allow_consume_restricted_item` to 'no'. All restricted usable/consumable/healing items are always failed to be used.
* Changed the GVG items/skills restriction check. "Item cannot be equipped in GVG maps" are supposed to ignore the agit flag statuses, as long as the map is GVG flagged, items/skills are always restricted and otherwise.
* Moved previous entries of `skill_nocast` flag 16 as hardcode (for now).

* Implemented the official line of damage algorithm that official servers use; it will calculate the direction between caster and target and apply one of eight possible AoEs
* Added a config setting with which you can switch back to the custom emulator path algorithm
* Updated Brandish Spear(5x5), Focused Arrow Strike(13x3), First Wind(5-9x3), NPC Breath attacks(14x7), Flame Launcher(5x3) and Cannon Spear(11x3) to use this algorithm and corrected range, splash and maxcount values for all these skills
* Fixed Brandish Spear's AoE being completely wrong and having holes in its AoE when attacking diagonally; also fixed the knock back being 3 instead of 2 and not working at all for the longest reach; Brandish Spear's AoE width and length can now be defined in skill_db.txt
* Focused Arrow Strike, First Wind and NPC breath attacks will at least hit one target, if no enemy is on the AoE, the target will be hit instead; Brandish Spear, Flame Launcher and Cannon Spear can completely miss
* Monsters will now always find a cell to walk to on first attempt as long as there is at least one cell available
* Performance for searching a cell improved, a monster no longer tries the same cell twice
* Removed the "MOB can't move" warning by default; the warning could appear with legit behavior like using Icewall and actually made the monster re-spawn
* Added a config option to monster.conf, where you can re-enable the warning and the re-spawning again
* Monsters with mode MD_CHANGETARGET_MELEE will now only change targets on "attack" state if they are attacked by a normal attack
* Monsters will change targets if the target is within "attack range+1" distance instead of a static distance of 3
* When a monster gets attacked, it will now switch to the attacker even if the attacker is farther away than its current target and the current target is auto-attacking it
* Angry mode monsters will now always switch target to the first person that attacked them
* Monsters no longer have Vulture's Eye level 10 and Snake's Eye level 10 learned by default
* When you tank Cecil Damon from 10-14 cells away, she will no longer use her target skills
* Added a configuration with which you can set the level of Vulture's Eye and Snake's Eye that monsters have learned
* Fixes#447 - Added script command 'unitblockmove' to be used with OnTouch and Unit Commands.
* Fixes#448 - Leech End will no longer get a player stuck in stand/sit modes.
* Fixes#503 - Added script command 'ignoretimeout' which disables the SECURE_NPCTIMEOUT of a specific script.

* Fixes#537 - Arms Cannon is now a single unit target skill.
* Fixes#541 - Cleaned up Ignition Break damage formula.
* Fixes#543 and Fixes#552 - Cleaned up Reverberation to match official. Now splits damage among targets.
* Fixes#546 - Updated Randomize Spell to the latest official skill list and rates.
* Fixes#547 - Escape is now a self skill and can use normal Traps if no Alloy Traps are available.
* Fixes#551 - Great Echo and Sound of Destruction can now blocked by Pneuma.
* Fixes#556 - Adjusted Arrullo, Deep Sleep Lullaby, Netherworld, and Voice of Siren duration formulas to properly account base/job levels.
* Fixes#561 - Pre-renewal Tiger Cannon now properly removes HP when casting skill.

- Updated the config setting attack_direction_change from 15 to 0 (official value); that means that a unit's direction will no longer change when it attacks; knock-back effects from e.g. Firewall will depend on the last direction the target walked into instead (bugreport:1322)
- Ensured that the default direction of a monster is always "north", so that immobile monsters will now always be knocked back to the south by e.g. Firewall on default settings, unless a skill like e.g. Backstab changes their direction (bugreport:1322)
- Land Protector now behaves like on official servers (bugreport:5237)
* Land Protector now protects from units being placed on it, no matter if they have splash range or not
* Land Protector no longer protects from damage from units not outside Land Protector that splash inside
* Meteor Storm no longer shows meteors falling if they would land on Land Protector
* Pneuma can no longer be placed next to Land Protector
* Also cleaned up the code a bit, so the checks are done where they should be done
- Ground skill splash ranges updated to their official values (bugreport:5237)
* Lord of Vermilion places units in a 11x11 area with 3x3 splash range each
* Storm Gust places units in a 9x9 area with 3x3 splash range each
* Heaven's Drive places units in a 5x5 area with no splash range
* Venom Dust now has a splash range of 3x3 and is consequently larger than before
- Storm Gust's knock-back behavior updated to official (bugreport:5237)
* Each of Storm Gust's units will knock back "Away from center"
* As units in the south-west are processed first, the knock-back direction will usually be north-east
* At the edges the knock-back direction will be "to the outside"
* Land Protector and Ganbantein will influence the knock-back behavior strongly, e.g. if Storm Gust has a hole in the middle, it will have a "suck in" effect
* Added a config option for those who want the old "random direction" behavior from eAthena
- Fixed up the damage code in regards of damage against plants (bugreport:9380)
* Rewrote DAMAGE_DIV_FIX so that it rounds damage down when number of hits is negative (damage split on hits)
* Created a function battle_apply_div_fix that does not only call DAMAGE_DIV_FIX but also makes sure that damage can only become 0 when the custom config setting skill_min_damage is not set for the current skill type
* skill_min_damage is now 0 by default (official: all types can fail against plants as long as skills have negative number of hits), if set, all skills will deal as much damage as hits
* Restructured and renamed function now known as "is_infinite_defense" that will work for all 3 damage types and returns if damage is infinite for the current situation, it will now also properly consider all "MD_IGNORE" modes
* Fixed the order of processing of all 3 skill types in regards of plant damage: first all calculations are done, then plant damage is applied and then DAMAGE_DIV_FIX is applied
* Sonic Blow and Rapid Shower are now skills with negative number of hits (i.e. they can't hit plants officially)
* Traps can no longer ignore plant mode (only way to damage plant more is via status changes)
* Final Strike is now able to hit plants (deals 1 HP damage)
* When left-hand-wielding, you will now always deal 2 damage to plants per attack, regardless of whether double attack triggers or you don't even have a weapon in the right hand
* There will no longer be backhand damage to plants (Katar)
- Land Mine is now a single target skill, the trap still triggers in a 3x3 area, but will only hit the first target that touches it (issue:99)
- Changed the "Don't return reflect damage" flag from 0x1000 to 0x1000000 as apparently the other flag was already used; updated function description so it's easier to see
- Improved SC_SIGHTBLASTER structure slightly
- Typo fixes and description improvements
- Split config cell_stack_limit into custom_cell_stack_limit (previous feature) and official_cell_stack_limit (see below)
- Expanded map_count_oncell by a flag parameter, currently only one flag is supported: only count standing units (needed for official cell stack feature)
- Added a new function map_closest_freecell that will return the closest free cell using the same order that official servers use
- Monsters will now actively search for a free cell when starting to walk randomly and when unlocking target
- When any unit finishes walking (regularly) and is not on a free cell, it will now actively search for a free cell
- Step actions will be delayed until a suitable cell was found, they will even be executed when the player walked slightly out of attack range
- Fixed Autobonus not working in combos (bugreport:8300)
* Combos will now have a "pos" variable that saves the combination of equipment slots used
* Autobonus now works with combined positions rather than just a single position
* Autobonus should now also work with all equipment slots instead of just the first 15
* This does NOT fix problems with multiple auto-bonuses activating at the same time
- Monsters will now stop instantly if their target is completely non-existent
* This is mainly for looters that had their loot taken
* Hide and most other situations still use the configuration setting monster_chase_refresh
- Created a new function unit_blown_immune that will now serve as the central function to determine if an object can be knocked back or stopped (bugreport:7637)
* Moved the check code from skill_blown to unit_blown_immune
* Several stopping effects and traps will now use unit_blown_immune to check if the object can be stopped, if not, the object will always move to its target cell before stopping
* Bosses and monsters immune to knockback will now no longer be stopped by such traps
* Expanded the configuration skill_trap_type and moved its checks into unit_blown_immune, so it's possible to switch the "no stop" behavior off for GVG/BG and monsters individually
* Long-term we should make all skills use this function to check for knockback immunity, it will make the checks a lot cleaner and more centralized
- Monster chase range updates (bugreport:7637)
* Updated monster_chase_range in monster.conf from 1 to 3; I originally thought official value is 1, but doing some in-depth tests myself I realized it's 3 for the most important situations
* When a monster cannot issue new "move" commands because it was affected by a status change, but is still moving due to knockback immunity, it will no longer unlock its target and stop
* Fixed a bug that always caused the chase path monsters calculated to be 1 cell too short causing them to recalculate their path one cell before their goal every single time
- Fixed the direction calculation once again and optimized it at the same time (bugreport:9373)
* Now the calculated direction is 100% official, really truly, checked it myself with every single cell and various skills
* Added a new function map_calc_dir_xy that allows to check for a direction between two cells without the need of a block_list
* map_calc_dir will now just use map_calc_dir_xy to avoid duplicate code
- Implemented Skid Trap properly (bugreport:9373)
* The direction of the knockback will now be "away from position of the caster during cast" rather than "away from trap"
* Skid Trap will now stop the target for 3 seconds; this works even in GVG/BG and on bosses, even though the actual knockback doesn't happen
- Moved the configuration setting "icewall_walk_block" to monster.conf
- Split the configuration into mob_icewall_walk_block and boss_icewall_walk_block so it can be configured for bosses separately
- Expanded the configuration
* If the value is set to 1, monsters on an ice wall cell will behave like trapped monsters, that means they won't be able to move at all, they will use idle skills and if they are attacked while nobody is in their attack range, they will use their rudeattacked skills; this is equal to official behavior of bosses
* If the value is set to 2-255, it will behave as before but monsters in the AI loop now use both idle and chase skills, but will no longer use their rudeattacked skills even if attacked from range; this is equal to official behavior of normal monsters
* Official values would be "220" for normal monsters (loop until Icewall expiration) and "1" for bosses (behave like trapped monster) on most official servers, but as some official servers have a less exploitable implementation (from looping AI only a limited amount of times up to outright blocking Icewall on all maps with bosses), we decided for less exploitable default values for now which are 75 for normal monsters (loop 15-35 seconds) and 0 for bosses (impossible to trap in Icewall)
- Cleaned up the rudeattacked code a little so it's easier to read
* Now the default direction is "east" and consequently the knockback direction is "west" when standing
* This means if the source cell (ground target center or position of caster) is on the same cell as the target, it will be knocked back to the west
* This also can effect other things like how an object is placed when cast on the cell you are currently standing on
* If you disable the option it will use the old behavior and use the direction of the unit as default direction (and backwards as knock direction)
* Special thanks to kisuka and Michieru for the original implementation: 2b8d5013ea
- Optimized the knockback / instant movement code
* clif_blown will now call both clif_slide and then clif_fixpos, this is what Aegis does when any instant movement effect occurs and ensures proper updating of the position
* skill_blown will call clif_blown and ensures the correct client information already, so it's no longer necessary to manually call clif_slide and clif_fixpos after it
* replaced all calls of clif_slide and then clif_fixpos in row with a single call of clif_blown, makes the code look a lot cleaner
* I tested over 20 knockback situations including knockback of frozen target and it worked fine for me, please report if there is still anything wrong (was why fixpos commented in the first place?)
- Reverted all the icewall-related changes done in SVN r15777 and following as testing shows they aren't official and are actually pretty exploitable (bugreport:7412)
- Instead implemented the official icewall characteristic that monsters can only leave an icewall cell to the west or south, the changes include:
* The "sight" path check no longer checks for the current cell so standing on an icewall allows you to see/attack into any direction
* The path finding will still ignore the current cell as before but the walk routine will not allow to walk east or north while standing on an icewall cell
* This leads monsters in the situation where they go through an AI loop not allowing them to escape the icewall (if their target is north or east of them)
* Monster in this situation will use idle skills and if they get attacked will use their rudeattacked skills if available, similar to traps like Spiderweb
* Added a configuration icewall_walk_block that allows to configure how long a monster should go through the AI loop before the server allows it any movement, this "safety" system is official and seems to equal about 75 AI loops; if you want to disable the whole icewall system so that monsters don't get stuck in icewall at all, just set this to 0
* Here are videos from jRO showing how this system works: http://ragdo.blog56.fc2.com/blog-entry-763.html
- Implemented the official calculation for "direction"; now you will be considered horizontal/vertical/diagonally aligned with a target cell in the exact same way as on official servers, this is for example used to determine whether an icewall or a firewall should be horizontal, vertical or diagonal; the only thing that is still unofficial is the default direction (officially always "west"); effectively now there are more situations considered diagonal than before
- Fixed a compiler warning (converting double to float)
- Further cleanups on the idle skill use code for immobile monsters and monsters near a player but without a target (now skill using will always go via mob_unlocktarget)
* This also fixes that monsters switched to idle mode and start to use idle skills one second too late
- Added a new configuration setting "item_drop_mvp_mode"
* By default "item_drop_mvp_mode" is set to official order (0) which is always starting at first, then going to the second if the first didn't drop and only checking the third if the second didn't drop either
* @mobinfo will now properly consider this and display the effective chance, so if the MVP has 3 MVP item drops at 50%, the first item will display the chance 50%, the second 25% and the third 12.5%, this should help a lot against drop rate confusion (e.g. players wondering why always only the first item drops when all three are displayed at 100%); this only applies to official order (0)
* When "item_drop_mvp_mode" is set to random order (1), MVP item drops are checked in random order, but if one MVP item drops, the process will be canceled, so you will never get more than one MVP item no matter how high the drop rate is
* When "item_drop_mvp_mode" is set to all items (2), all MVP item drops are checked and have a chance to drop, regardless of other MVP items already being dropped or not (i.e. there is a chance that the player gets all 3 MVP items)
- Updated monster skill use behavior so monsters use skills the same way and at the same rhythm as official servers (bugreport:009326), the changes include:
* Unified the "monster can't move by default" and the "monster trapped" code as it really should behave exactly the same
* Fixed a bug that caused the "monster skill use" routine to be called 20 times more often than it should in some situations
* When a monster attacks you and you run away from it, the monster will now check if it has a ranged skill on "attack" state before switching to chase state
* Monsters will now always do a normal attack before using "attack" state skills
* Fixed a bug that caused monsters to switch to idle mode and never use their chase skills when they get hit continuously
* Changed default for skillrange_from_weapon from 30 (all but player) to 0 (none); monsters will now use all skills at the skill range and not at their own attack range, if they get tanked from farther away than skill range, they won't use these skills
- Updated ranges to work as on official servers (bugreport:009326), the changes include:
* Implemented new functions "check_distance_client" and "distance_client", that instead of the server-sided square range system use the circular one that the client uses; these functions should be used for units that send their commands via the client (players mostly)
* Applied the new distance algorithm to some player-specific range checks, players will now have a circular attack range that reflects their attack range on the client; this makes it impossible to hack the client for more diagonal range
* Removed the arbitrary +1 range bonus at range checks; as monsters now react fluently, they won't need it anymore, that means a monster with for example 4 attack range will now only attack targets within a 9x9 area around it, the moment you step out of this area, the attacks will stop (if the monster can move it will follow you); as for players, the extra cell attack range when on a linear line to the target now is integrated into the distance algorithm, that means a player with attack range 4 can attack from 5 cells away when directly on line with a monster, but no longer diagonally as range is circular for players now
* Implemented a new "step action" feature to reflect official chase range behavior; when an attack or skill is used inside the attack range, it will act exactly as now, the skill is used once the signal from the client was received; however, if an attack or skill is used outside the attack range, the player should move into the chase area which is 1 cell inside the attack range border; the client actually sends us where to use the attack / skill from, but previously we just dropped that information the moment an attack request came; now instead of stopping the player instantly on an attack request, the player will continue moving to the target cell and then automatically use the command received earlier (it will be remembered); this change was absolutely necessary as the client sends the attack request slightly before attack range is reached, execution on official servers only takes place on every full cell moved; the new system copies this behavior
- Implemented an improved hit-lock system (bugreport:007460), the changes include:
* MVPs are no longer immune to being stopped by a hit unless they used Endure
* When hitting any unit, it will stop for its "dMotion" interval, exactly at the end of "dMotion" it will continue walking (official behavior); this helps getting more "move" packets to be displayed
* The unit that was hit will be immune to being stopped for another "dMotion" interval, this allows to slow down any units by hitting them frequently, but makes it almost impossible to completely stop them forever (depends a lot of ASPD and dMotion value); this does not affect special hit-lock properties (some skills and events should set delay anyway)
* The unit that was hit will no longer be "pulled" to the next cell; this caused a lot of position lag, it should be much better now
- Fixed Sightrasher missing its variable cast time in Renewal
* Monsters will now attack immediately when they are chasing a target and it comes into attack range (bugreport:7370)
* Monsters will now chase their target during their aDelay, but they still have to wait for aMotion to be able to move again (bugreport:9269)
* Monsters will now rethink their chase in a configurable interval (see monster_chase_refresh in monster.conf), official value is once per cell, previously it was once per 3 cells
* Monsters will now stop when they rethink their chase and their target is gone (player hides or target loot was picked), regardless of the monster_ai setting (note: if you want the old, stupid behavior, just increase monster_chase_refresh instead)
