Changelogs (2022-12 // 2023-01)

General:

• Merged missing changes from 3ceam rev. 891 - 894
• Expanded a couple baby job names.
  -Don't forget to adjust your custom NPCs!
  -Expanded Job_Baby_Rune -> Job_Baby_Rune_Knight, Job_Baby_Bishop -> Job_Baby_Arch_Bishop, Job_Baby_Cross -> Job_Baby_Guillotine_Cross, Job_Baby_Guard -> Job_Baby_Royal_Guard, and Job_Baby_Chaser -> Job_Baby_Shadow_Chaser.
  -Expanded related MAPID/EAJ constants as well.
  -Updated database and NPC scripts to use new constants.
• Fixed a bug where pet egg was not deleted properly after clearing the floor.
• Modified @addwarp to accept a new optional parameter .
  -If is specified, then the warp created will have that name.
  -Otherwise it will use a name chosen by the emulator.
  -If there is already another warp with that name the generic name will be used instead.
• Elemental system recode part 1.
  -Removed all status and skill code for elemental skills.
  -There was a lot to track after doing this. Best to commit the changes before doing the elemental system itself as it too is a lot of code to remove.
  -This part focused on recoding the elemental C/H files from the ground up.
  -With the core parts complete, its possible to summon and release elementals.
  -They don't have a working AI yet and will just stand in place and do nothing.
• Elemental system recode part 2.
  -This part focused on adding AI support for the elementals. Elementals will now autocast their offensive skills when attacking and also use them when commanded with Elemental Action. Skills are also handled through 3 seprate skill type functions
  -and are triggered depending on the elementals set mood.
  -With the main parts of the system now working I feel its safe to enable the Sorcerer's elemental related skills. There's still some bugs as the system is still in development but nothing to worry about.
• Added AI support for the elementals.
  -Elementals appear to use the same AI as monsters in official and because of this I decided to make a copy of the mob's AI and then do the needed edits to make it usable for elementals. The basic functions and feature are complete which gives
  -the elementals life. They will follow its master, attack anything the master attacks, attack anything that attacks it, search for and attack stuff when set to aggressive, etc.
• Added the "elemental_ai" config setting.
  -Allows setting custom AI settings for the elemental's AI.
  -Note: Not all of the settings work since the AI is still under development.
• elem_support; elem_offensive_skill_chance; elem_offensive_skill_casttime; elem_offensive_skill_aftercast
  -Added these configs to the elemental config.
• Elementals are now summoned with full HP/SP.
• Elementals are now only allowed to attack when in offensive mode.
• Shifted the offset ranges for homunculus, mercenary, elemental, and guild skills.
• Updated the elemental_db and elemental_skill_db.
  -The formats should be finalized but we'll see.
• Added save_settings_type enum to easier keep track of 'save_settings' map config.
• Added another check to vending_openvending function & added a missing return.
• Some misc. cleaning.
• Added some missing client messages.
• Some changes to the server message system.
  -This is also done to prepare it for multi-language support.

  -have to be completely redone which will take a lot of work to do.
