13 /msg gameserv store buy x x - kain (thank you wolfgar)
16 * Monsters are completely generated except for the names, weapons, and
17 death cries. A range is set for each level's strength, gold, exp, and
18 hp, and a new monster is generated at random during every forest
19 search. This makes for a more unique gaming experience at the expense
20 of some cpu time on random number generations - kain & wolfgar
21 * The structure for holding monsters is now different. Monsters are all
22 stored in the monsters subdirectory in levelx.dat files where x is
23 the level 1 through 12. This will allow for an arbitrary amount of
24 monsters per level - kain & wolfgar

84 commands (thanks damaged) - kain
85 * Added monsters for levels 10, 11, and 12 (created by damaged, edited
87 * Made the masters stats match the next level's monsters' stats a lot
89 * Fixed a bug that crashed gameserv on /msg gameserv master - kain

101 gameserv use /msg instead of /notice - kain
102 * Made the ignoreservers config file option work for bahamut - kain
103 * Fixed an error in do_register that was not adding the client to the
104 players list correctly, causing newly registered players to be
105 locked out of identifying until the next gameserv restart - kain
106 * Fixed an error that crashed GameServ if you tried to fight a player
107 lower than the configured level - kain
108 * Reduced the effect of potions since the price is down - kain
109 * Reduced the price of potions significantly - kain
110 * Added a few timeout events if you're not in a fight - kain
113 * Included a crontab script in all new distros now - kain

130 - If players are fighting, and the one who's turn it is times out,

200 * Created Monsters for level 7

203 * Added HP potions to increase maximum HP.
204 * Made strength and defense potions add either 1 or 2 points rather than
206 * Made the monsters a bit harder. I found that as the game progressed,
207 it got easier and easier instead of harder.
208 * Fixed the forest events from happening too often. Also, the fountain
209 forest event specifically was adding too many forest fights, making
213 * Added a Reset command to GameServ that functions the same was as the
214 refresh command, except it completely resets a player to the beginning
216 * Fixed a bug that would cause monsters to have extremely high HP after
217 loading the monster database.
218 * Tweaked the forest events percentages. They happened too frequently.
219 * New player database format:
220 - Alive/Dead is no longer saved as a word in the database. It is
222 - 3 new integer values were added to the end of every player string
223 representing their inventory (healing, strength, and defense
225 * Changed the Player structure to use 2 new flags which eliminated 2
226 boolean values (alive & yourturn) to save a little memory.
227 * Fixed a bug that allowed a player already in a fight to be challenged
228 by another player. The other player was then locked into the fight
230 * Added a use command that allows a player to use items in their inventory.
231 Currently the only items are health, strength, and defense potions.
232 Command may be used in battle, but it costs you your turn.
233 * Changed the stats command so that it takes the player name as
234 the stats request. You type /msg GameServ stats nick still, but
235 nick no longer has to be on IRC. You use the player name instead of
237 * Added a new hybrid patch to the contrib dir. (Thank you wcampbel)
238 * Fixed a problem in the display_help() function that could cause a bus
239 error. The problem was with changing literal text when passed to the
240 function as a filename. The function now copies the data as a local
241 variable and modifies that. (Thank you wcampbel)
242 * Fixed a bug that allowed a player to be registered twice if the player
243 was not online. (Thank you wcampbel)
244 * Added an inventory command which allows players to view how many

247 them in their inventory for later use.
248 * Made some cosmetic changes to this file.
249 * Added an inventory class Pouch which allows players to carry around
250 things such as potions and such.
253 * Added a missing help file admin_commands. It was written before, but
255 * Admins can now identify as any user without having the correct password.
256 * Fixed a bug that allowed for two nicknames to identify for the same player.
257 * Added a forestfights directive to the config file so admins can set the
258 default daily forest fights.
259 * Added a die directive to the config file that will not let you start
260 GameServ if it is present.
261 * Inputted monsters for Level 6. Six more levels left unfinished.
262 * Changed confloadtime directive to welcomedelay directive in the config file.
263 This made more sense.
264 * Added an updateperiod directive to the config file. This represents the
265 period (in seconds) for updating the player data file. Every time the
266 gameserv server gets a message it will check to see if "updateperiod"
267 seconds or more have elapsed since the last update.
270 * Fixed the welcome msg sending "ICK" instead of the nickname of a new
271 aclient. (Thank you wcampbel)
272 * Load now has an optional parameter "monsters" which will force a load of the
273 monsterdata file. This is useful for changing monsters on-the-fly.
274 * Added a load_monsters function that loads from a preconfigured monsters.dat
275 file instead of hard coding the monsters into the array. Users can now
276 change the monster configuration around without knowing C/C++.
277 * Added a new directive to the config file: confloadtime
278 this represents the delay (in seconds) until GameServ sends a welcome
279 message to incoming clients.
280 * Added the welcome message to the config file. See gameserv.example.conf
281 for more info on how to use the variable as a formatted string.
284 * Removed a lot of extra list searches by changing all of the boolean
285 functions to take aClient as a parameter instead of a nickname string.
286 * Added an is_alive boolean function. Players must now wait until the next
288 * Saving the player->flags integer to the players.dat file. Old databases
290 QUICK FIX: put a 0 to the left of the encrypted passwords for all player
291 entries so the database can load properly. Look in flags.h for a
292 description of the way flags work.
295 * Added a /version reply
296 * Fixed the Makefile to include configscript.cpp
297 * Added a join message when people connect to the IRCD. The message is set
298 on a delay so that on the initial nick burst, the services do not send
299 everyone the message.
300 * Changed the admin commands from a simple password interface to a more
301 sophisticated flags approach. Now you have to identify with the
302 administrator password once, and your flags indicate that you are an
303 admin for all commands.
304 * Full help files available in corrected form for the new administrator type
308 * Added some admin features.
310 * Added help menu functionality for all commands.
311 * Fixed the register command so it notified the client that registration
313 * Changed the master command so that you didn't have to fight your master
314 if you had enough experience. There is now a question/fight subcommand
315 set for the master command.
316 * Tweaked the masters a bit. Basically, they were too tough. Once a player
317 had enough experience, they had no chance against their master until
318 they got the next two weapons up. This made the next level too easy.
319 Past level 1 still needs tweaking.
320 * Added functionality for bahamut IRCD
323 * Added autoconf functionality to the gameserv package. Does not compile
324 correctly on SunOS without tweaking.
325 * Fixed the game so that players stats reset at midnight UTC + 8 hours.
326 time(NULL) - (time(NULL) % 86400) + 3600 * 8
327 * Added a contrib directory with a user submitted patch for hybrid ircd.
