Added capability for gameserv to identify with nickserv

[irc/gameservirc.git] / gameserv / Changes

Version 1.2.6
* Added capability for GameServ to identify with NickServ on connection - thank you 
    Tsukasa and watever
* Added a /msg GameServ SET command with various options - kain
Version 1.2.5
* All level master data is now being stored in data/masters.dat - kain
* Added a new config file directive that allows you to specify whether or
    not you want gameserv to send notices to the channel every time it
    writes the player database - kain
* Some under the scenes changes have been made with the way players' and
    monsters' names, weapons, and death phrases are being stored which
    should make for less memory leakage and minimized overall memory
    usage - kain
* Fixed a minor bug where gameserv was not notifying of a syntax error in
    /msg gameserv store buy x x - kain (thank you wolfgar)

Version 1.2.4
* Monsters are completely generated except for the names, weapons, and
    death cries. A range is set for each level's strength, gold, exp, and
    hp, and a new monster is generated at random during every forest
    search. This makes for a more unique gaming experience at the expense
    of some cpu time on random number generations - kain & wolfgar
* The structure for holding monsters is now different. Monsters are all
    stored in the monsters subdirectory in levelx.dat files where x is
    the level 1 through 12. This will allow for an arbitrary amount of
    monsters per level - kain & wolfgar
* Every time a new news item is added, GameServ announces it in the forest
    channel - kain
* Added a notice to the forest channel that the player data was 
    saved - kain
* Fixed some things with the upper limts of money and experience - kain
* Changed the command LIST so it only lists people who are playing.
    To get a full list, use LIST ALL - kain
* Added two new config file options which allow you to specify how
    long to wait before deleting level 1 and other levels' accounts
    separately - kain
* Added a new command CHECK which will display the amount of time until
    the next refresh - kain
* Added a new config option to specify a refresh period in seconds.
    Now you can specify how often you want the players to be given
    new forest fights, etc... - kain
* Fixed bug causing negative funds to be deposited into an account
    (bugID 966653) (thank you Jono H - xjono)

    load - kain

    a forest fight if you were broke - kain
* Fixed a bug causing the wrong bonuses to be added when a level was 
    gained, and none to be added on the last level - kain
* Added daily news with automatic additions when you gain a level, 
    unsuccessfully best your master, kill someone, or are killed - kain

    stats accordingly - kain

    HP is at max - kain
* Added more experience per monster past level 7 - kain

    of being the one you found, and you have a 2% chance of incurring
    this forest event - kain

    player they are fighting - kain

    weapon (BugID 946043) (thank you NOTevil) - kain
* Fixed a logic error allowing players to bank during a fight - kain
* Added more gold per monster above level 4 - kain

Version 1.2.2
* Fixed a logical error causing the ListenOnCF flag to only work in P10 
    servers - kain
* Fixed the store command to display syntax on improper sequence of 
    commands (thanks damaged) - kain
* Added monsters for levels 10, 11, and 12 (created by damaged, edited 
    by kain) - kain
* Made the masters stats match the next level's monsters' stats a lot 
    closer - kain

    for 0 gold when they were either dead or had no gold on hand and
    they timed out (thanks Rehm) - kain
* Fixed the bug not allowing different config files to be used - kain
* Added an optional config file directive BOPER which makes
    gameserv become an oper on the network - kain
* Added an optional config file directive USEPRIVMSG which makes
    gameserv use /msg instead of /notice - kain
* Made the ignoreservers config file option work for bahamut - kain
* Fixed an error in do_register that was not adding the client to the
    players list correctly, causing newly registered players to be
    locked out of identifying until the next gameserv restart - kain
* Fixed an error that crashed GameServ if you tried to fight a player
    lower than the configured level - kain
* Reduced the effect of potions since the price is down - kain
* Reduced the price of potions significantly - kain
* Added a few timeout events if you're not in a fight - kain

Version 1.2.1
* Included a crontab script in all new distros now - kain
* Added a new flag that tells wether a person is playing instead of
    relying solely on pointers - kain
* Added a mechanism to ignore on a nick to nick basis, and implemented
    code to auto-ignore nicks on certain servers - kain

    sensitive) - kain

* Fixed a bug in identify that was causing players to be shown as not

* A true timestamp is now sent on SJOIN for hybrid servers. TS of 1
    was messing things up - kain

* Added a timeout mechanism with two new config file options - kain
    - If players are fighting, and the one who's turn it is times out,

	they are logged out.
    - If players are not fighting (player fights), they are simply 
	logged out.

    day when you fight another player (reported by MaCbLiNd) - kain
* Fixed a bug that allowed the same player name to be registered any 
    number of times - kain
* Fixed a problem in when players quit on a P10 server, the /msg 
    gameserv list shows the irc nick as not NULL because it was only 
    setting the regular nick and not the realnick - kain
* Fixed a logic error in the identify command that caused players to be 
    falsely shown as identified - kain
* When a player logs off during a player fight, the fight now ends. 
    Before it was held in limbo - kain
* Fixed a bug in the fight command requiring you to use an irc nickname
    to fight (BugID 927789) - kain

Version 1.1.9
* Added 2 new config file directives (maxafightdistance and maxbfightdistance)
    These allow you to set limits on the distance (in levels) two players
    are allowed to fight with. See gameserv.example.conf for more info. - kain
* Fixed a bug in the identify command that falsly showed a player as 
    already being identified. - kain
* Created Monsters for level 9 - kain
* Added the beginnings of an end monster - kain
* Slightly adjust the weapon and armor bonuses to prevent a divide by zero
    exception (reported by wassup). - wcampbel

* Missing directives now are identified for config files upon startup - kain
* Added a --help option to the gameserv binary - kain
* Added an optional command line parameter to load a config file - kain
* Added a nifty startup intro with the version number. - Kain
* Fixed BANK BALANCE (BugID 895157) - wcampbel
* Completely removed the midnight() function code, and replaced it with 
    some struct tm functionality with the localtime() function. - kain
* Major changes to the Makefile, cleaned up a number of rules and added
    dependencies (via make depend). - wcampbel
* Corrected the VERSION reply, it broke ircII. - wcampbel
* Fixed some P10/other protocol issues - wcampbel
* Removed the old hard coded monsters entries. - wcampbel
* Made gameserv load as a true daemon. gameserv.pid now contains the pid 
    for the gameserv process. No more run script. - kain
* Fixed a bug that caused the identify function to segfault. - kain
* Fixed some P10 Functionality - kain
* Merged in the Hybrid patch - wcampbel

Version 1.1.7
* Added P10 Functionality (ircu-2.10.11.x)
* Created Monsters for level 8
* Increased the size of the monster struct to account for longer names,
    weapons, and death phrases.
* Created Monsters for level 7
* Fixed a bug causing the bank balance command not to work correctly.
    (Thank you wcampbel)
* Added HP potions to increase maximum HP.
* Made strength and defense potions add either 1 or 2 points rather than
    0, 1, or 2.
* Made the monsters a bit harder. I found that as the game progressed,
    it got easier and easier instead of harder.
* Fixed the forest events from happening too often. Also, the fountain
    forest event specifically was adding too many forest fights, making
    the day never end.

Version 1.1.6
* Added a Reset command to GameServ that functions the same was as the
    refresh command, except it completely resets a player to the beginning
    of the game.
* Fixed a bug that would cause monsters to have extremely high HP after
    loading the monster database.
* Tweaked the forest events percentages. They happened too frequently.
* New player database format:
    - Alive/Dead is no longer saved as a word in the database. It is
	saved as a flag.
    - 3 new integer values were added to the end of every player string
	representing their inventory (healing, strength, and defense
	potions).
* Changed the Player structure to use 2 new flags which eliminated 2
    boolean values (alive & yourturn) to save a little memory.
* Fixed a bug that allowed a player already in a fight to be challenged
    by another player. The other player was then locked into the fight
    with no way out.
* Added a use command that allows a player to use items in their inventory.
    Currently the only items are health, strength, and defense potions.
    Command may be used in battle, but it costs you your turn.
* Changed the stats command so that it takes the player name as
    the stats request. You type /msg GameServ stats nick still, but
    nick no longer has to be on IRC. You use the player name instead of
    the IRC Nickname.
* Added a new hybrid patch to the contrib dir. (Thank you wcampbel)
* Fixed a problem in the display_help() function that could cause a bus
    error. The problem was with changing literal text when passed to the
    function as a filename. The function now copies the data as a local
    variable and modifies that. (Thank you wcampbel)
* Fixed a bug that allowed a player to be registered twice if the player
    was not online. (Thank you wcampbel)
* Added an inventory command which allows players to view how many
    potions they are storing.
* Added a tavern command which allows players to buy potions and store
    them in their inventory for later use.
* Made some cosmetic changes to this file.
* Added an inventory class Pouch which allows players to carry around
    things such as potions and such.

Version 1.1.5
* Added a missing help file admin_commands. It was written before, but 
    somehow was deleted.
* Admins can now identify as any user without having the correct password.
* Fixed a bug that allowed for two nicknames to identify for the same player.
* Added a forestfights directive to the config file so admins can set the 
    default daily forest fights.
* Added a die directive to the config file that will not let you start 
    GameServ if it is present.
* Inputted monsters for Level 6. Six more levels left unfinished.
* Changed confloadtime directive to welcomedelay directive in the config file.
    This made more sense.
* Added an updateperiod directive to the config file. This represents the 
    period (in seconds) for updating the player data file. Every time the 
    gameserv server gets a message it will check to see if "updateperiod" 
    seconds or more have elapsed since the last update.

Version 1.1.4
* Fixed the welcome msg sending "ICK" instead of the nickname of a new 
    aclient. (Thank you wcampbel)
* Load now has an optional parameter "monsters" which will force a load of the
    monsterdata file. This is useful for changing monsters on-the-fly.
* Added a load_monsters function that loads from a preconfigured monsters.dat
    file instead of hard coding the monsters into the array. Users can now 
    change the monster configuration around without knowing C/C++.
* Added a new directive to the config file: confloadtime
    this represents the delay (in seconds) until GameServ sends a welcome 
    message to incoming clients.
* Added the welcome message to the config file. See gameserv.example.conf
    for more info on how to use the variable as a formatted string.

Version 1.1.3
* Removed a lot of extra list searches by changing all of the boolean 
    functions to take aClient as a parameter instead of a nickname string.
* Added an is_alive boolean function. Players must now wait until the next 
    day to play again.
* Saving the player->flags integer to the players.dat file. Old databases 
    will not work. 
    QUICK FIX: put a 0 to the left of the encrypted passwords for all player 
    entries so the database can load properly. Look in flags.h for a 
    description of the way flags work.

Version 1.1.2
* Added a /version reply
* Fixed the Makefile to include configscript.cpp
* Added a join message when people connect to the IRCD. The message is set 
    on a delay so that on the initial nick burst, the services do not send
    everyone the message.
* Changed the admin commands from a simple password interface to a more 
    sophisticated flags approach. Now you have to identify with the 
    administrator password once, and your flags indicate that you are an 
    admin for all commands.
* Full help files available in corrected form for the new administrator type
    commands.

Version 1.1.1
* Added some admin features.
    - Refresh
* Added help menu functionality for all commands.
* Fixed the register command so it notified the client that registration
    was successful.
* Changed the master command so that you didn't have to fight your master
    if you had enough experience. There is now a question/fight subcommand
    set for the master command.
* Tweaked the masters a bit. Basically, they were too tough. Once a player
    had enough experience, they had no chance against their master until
    they got the next two weapons up. This made the next level too easy. 
    Past level 1 still needs tweaking.
* Added functionality for bahamut IRCD 

Version 1.1.0
* Added autoconf functionality to the gameserv package. Does not compile
    correctly on SunOS without tweaking.
* Fixed the game so that players stats reset at midnight UTC + 8 hours.
    time(NULL) - (time(NULL) % 86400) + 3600 * 8
* Added a contrib directory with a user submitted patch for hybrid ircd.
