Cyphesis version 0.5.2 has been released and is now available from the WorldForge download site.
Cyphesis is a small to medium scale server for WorldForge games, with builtin AI. This version includes the demo game Mason which is currently in development. This release is intended for server administrators wishing to run a Mason server and World developers developing new worlds or game systems.
Major changes in this version:
- A basic combat system has been implemented allowing characters to attack each other.
- A stats module has been implemented for handling character stats.
- Network streams are now handled better when they fail, preventing network problems from causing the server to lock up.
- A number of significant performance improvements have been made.
- Operations sent to clients to indicate actions have occured now work correctly throughout.
- The collision code now detects and prevents occurences which caused massive CPU load spikes.
- Many bugs have been fixed.
