Everything that changed on the server and the website, newest first.

  2. Website

  5. Website

    Asset caching, observability, and categorized release log

    The portal gained aggressive static asset caching, public health diagnostics, and a clearer tag-based release timeline.

    • A new `.htaccess` applies 1-year caching to CSS, JS, fonts, and images, while keeping HTML/PHP fresh.
    • `status.php` now shows portal health and a new `portalstatus.php` endpoint provides a simple JSON readout.
    • Theme assets gained versioned query strings and the Google Fonts request now loads fewer weights.
    • The release timeline now sorts by date and shows category tags for faster reading.
  6. Website

    Lower-memory Safari visual fallback

    Heavy visual theme effects gained a Safari fallback to reduce browser memory usage.

    • Safari now receives a browser class to activate lighter CSS.
    • `backdrop-filter`, `mask-image`, and the fixed background with `filter` were reduced on Safari.
    • The look was preserved with opaque panels replacing the most expensive compositor effects.
  7. Website

    Automatic portal translation and memory limit

    The portal now responds in pt/en using browser language and gained a local per-request memory cap.

    • PHP pages now detect locale by `Accept-Language`, `chaotic_lang` cookie, and `?lang=`.
    • `download.html` and `contato.html` gained client-side translation with persisted language choice.
    • The public portal now enforces `memory_limit = 128M` to avoid requests without a RAM ceiling.
  8. Website

    Public character profile on the portal

    The online list now opens a public character profile, with fixes for race, gender, and dates.

    • `ponline.php` now links character names to `char.php?serial=...`.
    • `char.php` now shows skills, activity, race, gender, creation, and last login.
    • The portal parser was adjusted to handle invalid placeholders and corrected shard dates.
  9. Server

    Public character endpoint with corrected dates

    The shard now exposes a public character profile by serial, with skills, race, gender, and clocks converted into real dates.

    • `playersonline.ecl` now publishes links with `serial` to the character detail.
    • The new `findchar.ecl` now exposes PvP, PvM, skills, online time, race, and gender.
    • `CreatedAt`, `LastLogin`, and `LogOnAt` are now converted from internal shard clock values to real timestamps.
  10. Website

    Full refresh of the public portal

    New visual foundation, unified navigation, and dynamic pages for status, online players, guild list, and rankings.

    • Created a new PHP theme with shared header, footer, and navigation.
    • Home, status, players online, downloads, and contact were rewritten with a responsive layout.
    • Created the pages `guildlist.php`, `rankpvm.php`, and `rankpvp.php`.
    • Downloads were turned into a pre-launch placeholder until public opening.
  11. Website

    Broken menu route fix

    The status area menu stopped pointing to a non-existent file on the vhost.

    • Links from `servidor.php` were switched to `status.php`.
    • Initial audit of the Linux publication separated from the shard `scripts/www`.
    • A full snapshot of the remote site was downloaded for safe work.
  12. Server

    Poison dummy in auto by default

    Every character now falls back to automatic mode by default, without getting stuck in old manual overrides.

    • Created the explicit flag `DPManualMode`.
    • `.setpoison <level>` only activates manual mode intentionally.
    • `.setpoison auto` clears the full legacy manual mode.
  13. Server

    Full poison dummy controller

    Training gained performance adaptation, presets, anti-repetition, cooldown, and operational debug.

    • New shared include to centralize poison dummy logic.
    • Presets `balanced`, `anatomy`, and `healing` added to `.setpoison`.
    • Automatic mode now increases or decreases intensity based on the previous cycle.
    • Burst with floor and anti-repetition implemented.
  14. Server

    Poison dummy randomization

    Poison and the initial burst stopped repeating the same values during training.

    • Cycle entry now varies within a controlled range.
    • Initial damage burst gained natural fluctuation.
    • Adjustment applied without changing overall periodic poison damage.
  15. Server

    Accelerated Anatomy 150+

    Anatomy gains above 150 were strengthened without touching the shard global gain.

    • Progressive multipliers applied from `150.0`.
    • The bonus for wounded or poisoned targets was kept.
    • Added an effective raw-points cap per use to avoid exploding the curve.
  16. Server

    Poison dummy respects the healing cycle

    The dummy now waits for healing and poison removal before reapplying the next cycle.

    • Added the gate `PoisonDummyReadyForNextCycle`.
    • While the target is poisoned or below max HP, the dummy does not reapply burst.
    • Residual physical damage between cycles was removed in the special branch.
