14 * Added a new config file directive for the master item data file - kain
17 * Implemented the new dragon/boss system as suggested by Tsukasa:
18 Whenever someone beats the dragon, their player is placed in the Dragon's spot
19 guarding the lair. All other attempts to fight the dragon will cause a duel
20 between your old character and the challenger. You essentially become the new
21 dragon, but the old character's name gets a DRAGON- next to it. You are also
22 now reset back to level 1 - kain w/ thanks to Tsukasa at watnet.org for the idea

24 events were calculated. It is now just as if you killed a monster

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

105 weapon (BugID 946043) (thank you NOTevil) - kain
106 * Fixed a logic error allowing players to bank during a fight - kain
107 * Added more gold per monster above level 4 - kain
110 * Fixed a logical error causing the ListenOnCF flag to only work in P10
112 * Fixed the store command to display syntax on improper sequence of
113 commands (thanks damaged) - kain
114 * Added monsters for levels 10, 11, and 12 (created by damaged, edited
116 * Made the masters stats match the next level's monsters' stats a lot
118 * Fixed a bug that crashed gameserv on /msg gameserv master - kain

126 * Fixed the bug not allowing different config files to be used - kain
127 * Added an optional config file directive BOPER which makes
128 gameserv become an oper on the network - kain
129 * Added an optional config file directive USEPRIVMSG which makes
130 gameserv use /msg instead of /notice - kain
131 * Made the ignoreservers config file option work for bahamut - kain
132 * Fixed an error in do_register that was not adding the client to the
133 players list correctly, causing newly registered players to be
134 locked out of identifying until the next gameserv restart - kain
135 * Fixed an error that crashed GameServ if you tried to fight a player
136 lower than the configured level - kain
137 * Reduced the effect of potions since the price is down - kain
138 * Reduced the price of potions significantly - kain
139 * Added a few timeout events if you're not in a fight - kain
142 * Included a crontab script in all new distros now - kain

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

229 * Created Monsters for level 7
230 * Fixed a bug causing the bank balance command not to work correctly.
232 * Added HP potions to increase maximum HP.
233 * Made strength and defense potions add either 1 or 2 points rather than
235 * Made the monsters a bit harder. I found that as the game progressed,
236 it got easier and easier instead of harder.
237 * Fixed the forest events from happening too often. Also, the fountain
238 forest event specifically was adding too many forest fights, making
242 * Added a Reset command to GameServ that functions the same was as the
243 refresh command, except it completely resets a player to the beginning
245 * Fixed a bug that would cause monsters to have extremely high HP after
246 loading the monster database.
247 * Tweaked the forest events percentages. They happened too frequently.
248 * New player database format:
249 - Alive/Dead is no longer saved as a word in the database. It is
251 - 3 new integer values were added to the end of every player string
252 representing their inventory (healing, strength, and defense
254 * Changed the Player structure to use 2 new flags which eliminated 2
255 boolean values (alive & yourturn) to save a little memory.
256 * Fixed a bug that allowed a player already in a fight to be challenged
257 by another player. The other player was then locked into the fight
259 * Added a use command that allows a player to use items in their inventory.
260 Currently the only items are health, strength, and defense potions.
261 Command may be used in battle, but it costs you your turn.
262 * Changed the stats command so that it takes the player name as
263 the stats request. You type /msg GameServ stats nick still, but
264 nick no longer has to be on IRC. You use the player name instead of
266 * Added a new hybrid patch to the contrib dir. (Thank you wcampbel)
267 * Fixed a problem in the display_help() function that could cause a bus
268 error. The problem was with changing literal text when passed to the

270 variable and modifies that. (Thank you wcampbel)
271 * Fixed a bug that allowed a player to be registered twice if the player
272 was not online. (Thank you wcampbel)
273 * Added an inventory command which allows players to view how many

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