• Added support for the expanded barter shop, see example script in npc/custom/expandedbartershop.txt and the related script commands sellitem(), startsellitem(), sellitemcurrency(), endsellitem(). Note: this includes a database migration. (part of [#2625])
• Added the new script commands cloakonnpc() and cloakoffnpc(). (part of [#2615])
• Added the new script command achievement_iscompleted() to check for achievement completion. (part of [#2615])

Changed

• Changed the logic of skill_get_index to make it easier to add new skills, custom or official. (#2596)
• Refactored int_party code related to exp sharing calculations. (part of [#2601])
• Updated the Duel system cooldown to be configurable with seconds granularity. The duel_time_interval setting can be safely updated and with @reloadbattleconf, applying to any existing cooldowns. (#1495)
• Converted PACKET_ZC_STATE_CHANGE to use its struct format and added a function to send it to a single target. (part of [#2615])
• Changed the behavior of @unloadnpc, @reloadnpc, @unloadnpcfile to kill the monsters that were spawned by the unloaded script (non-permanent spawns). (#2590, issue [#2530])
• Updated the mobdbconverter.py tool to support Race, Size and Element constants. The script now requires Python 3. (#2620)
• Cleaned up a duplicate definition of SP_VARCASTRATE in pc_readparam(). (#2624, issue [#1311])
• Extended itemskill() with a new ISF_INSTANTCAST flag to be able to cast a skill without cast time. (part of [#2616])
• Extended itemskill() with a new ISF_CASTONSELF flag to be able to forcefully cast a skill on the invoking character. (part of [#2616])
• Converted ZC_AUTORUN_SKILL to use its struct format. (part of [#2616])

Fixed

• Fixed some signed/unsigned mismatch compiler warnings. (#2601, issue [#1434])
• Fixed some cases where the family exp sharing state wasn't correctly detected. (part of [#2601])
• Fixed a duplicate "Skill Failed" message when using Asura Strike. (part of [#2248], issue [#1239])
• Fixed an issue that made a character turn to face its target after casting Asura Strike. (#2248, issue [#1239])
• Fixed the position of a character after a failed Asura Strike cast, to be 3 cells from its original position instead of 2. (part of [#2248], issue [#1239])
• Fixed the status icon from the Elemental Resistance Potions and the Undead Element Scroll not disappearing when the status changes end. (#2614, issue [#2593])
• Fixed a crash when using @loadnpc, @reloadnpc or @unloadnpcfile on a directory. (part of [#2590], issue [#1279])
• Fixed PR_STRECOVERY to only cure status effects if the target's element isn't Undead. (#2618, issue [#2558])
• Fixed the mobs spawned by mob_clone_spawn() (clone(), @evilclone) being invulnerable because of an uninitialized dmg_taken_rate taking the value of 0. (#2617, issue [#2607])
• Fixed a crash when the script function getunits() was called with an invalid mapindex. Now an error message is added when the mapindex validation fails. (#2619)
• Fixed a crash when map_forcountinmap() was called with an invalid mapindex. Now the function will return 0 instead. (part of [#2619])
• Fixed clientside errors when using a ViewData block in the mob database without specifying a HairStyleId. The hair style will now default to 1 when a ViewData block is specified. (#2622)
• Fixed the damage calculation being too low when using weapons of type W_RIFLE (in pre-renewal). (#2623)
• Fixed an issue that could cause homunculi to be in an unexpected partially-vaporized state (i.e. when a Vanilmirth kills its own master through HVAN_EXPLOSION). (#2626)
• Fixed NPC ID validation when SECURE_NPCTIMEOUT is defined, causing scripts to abort with an "Unknown NPC" error on the console. (#2627, issue [#2073])
• Fixed the skill condition checks and the flag parameter of itemskill(). The constants ISF_NONE and ISF_IGNORECONDITIONS are now available. (part of [#2616])
• Fixed the itemskill() items to provide their proper Aegis behavior, in their requirement checks, self-targeting and item consumption. (#2616, issue [#819])
• Fixed the Earth Spike Scroll to consume 10 SP when SC_EARTHSCROLL is active. (part of [#2616])
• Fixed warnings in the HPMHookGenerator. (1000b10026)
