Crossfire is an open source, cooperative multiplayer graphical RPG and adventure game.

Archetypes
- Limit violent fungi growth rate
- Finally make forward progress on the stews food items
- Add the basic crafting recipes for stews
- The code for recipes assumes more ingredients is rarer, but these buck that trend
- Need to figure out a way to get these in game without them incidentally being rarer than late-game recipes
- Add the first few artifact stew definitions
- Add a recipe for making cooking pots
- Takes some liberties with the alloy proportions for molybdochalkos
- Add topaz to gem treasurelists
- Currently a rarer drop than other gems since it has no uses in recipes
- Add bloodstone to the random gem generation
- Add some recipes using bloodstones, which are now available to generate in treasurelists
- Slowly phase out some of the stat potion recipes
- Make the world map use a fixed-size font
- Increase chance of mining success
- Since mining does not offer experience, the 10% chance of success was painfully low
GTKv2 Client
- Fix a client crash when using the mapedit command without CF_MAP_EDITOR set
Maps
- Replace empty book with random_reading book in Hut (/wolfsburg/volcano/huts/hut-11)
- Replace empty book with random_reading book in Hut (/wolfsburg/volcano/huts/hut-05)
- Replace empty book with random_reading book in Hut (/wolfsburg/volcano/huts/hut-03)
- Replace empty book with random_reading book in Hut (/wolfsburg/volcano/huts/hut-08)
- Replace empty book with random_reading book in Hut (/wolfsburg/volcano/huts/hut-06)
- Mark libraries fixed_reset
- Libraries are like shops where players frequently check back to see if it's been reset
- Make outdoor, remove some guards and janitors in Goth's Tavern, Guest Rooms
- Make outdoor and add lighting for ambiance in Scorn Prison
- Reduce Lord Spectre dungeon depth (now 30 levels instead of 50)
- Adjust bank table movement blocking in Lake Country Bank
- Fix pushable walls in Navar Tower of Illusions
- Rebalance bulk purchase tables in Nurnburg Alchemy Shop
- Previously, the mineral oil table was wildly imbalanced, since the philosophical oil recipe only requires them
- This allowed endless shenanigans with a cauldron and maybe 20 levels of alchemy
- After some calculations, multiplying the cost by about four seems to make it close to break-even now
- Additionally, there were two tables for salt, each a different cost
- Set those to be the same cost while here.
- Allow the priest of Valriel to give more keys, in case the player gets killed and the church reset meanwhile
- Give unique 'slaying' fields to keys
- Remove uranium and derivative piles
- Two reasons:
- 1. There is no way to obtain these in-game
- 2. uranium is very out of place in medieval fantasy IMO.
- Merge branch weather in master
- Note that this renders the weather branch for maps obsolete
- Additionally, there are still more areas with missing elevation, but those can be added directly to master
Server
- Mountains no longer have unlimited supply of harvest-able minerals
- Map load and game performance improvements and optimizations
- Fix spectres being always visible
- Fix crash when examining a rod with that contains no spell
