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

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

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

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

198 * Created Monsters for level 7

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

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