Fixed the forest event from setting to 14 manually. (I was testing).

[irc/gameservirc.git] / gameserv / Changes

Version 1.1.6
* 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.
