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

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

113 weapon (BugID 946043) (thank you NOTevil) - kain

115 * Added more gold per monster above level 4 - kain
118 * Fixed a logical error causing the ListenOnCF flag to only work in P10

121 commands (thanks damaged) - kain

134 * Fixed the bug not allowing different config files to be used - kain
135 * Added an optional config file directive BOPER which makes
136 gameserv become an oper on the network - kain
137 * Added an optional config file directive USEPRIVMSG which makes
138 gameserv use /msg instead of /notice - kain
139 * Made the ignoreservers config file option work for bahamut - kain
140 * Fixed an error in do_register that was not adding the client to the
141 players list correctly, causing newly registered players to be
142 locked out of identifying until the next gameserv restart - kain
143 * Fixed an error that crashed GameServ if you tried to fight a player
144 lower than the configured level - kain

146 * Reduced the price of potions significantly - kain
147 * Added a few timeout events if you're not in a fight - kain
150 * Included a crontab script in all new distros now - kain

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

237 * Created Monsters for level 7

240 * Added HP potions to increase maximum HP.
241 * Made strength and defense potions add either 1 or 2 points rather than
243 * Made the monsters a bit harder. I found that as the game progressed,
244 it got easier and easier instead of harder.
245 * Fixed the forest events from happening too often. Also, the fountain
246 forest event specifically was adding too many forest fights, making
250 * Added a Reset command to GameServ that functions the same was as the
251 refresh command, except it completely resets a player to the beginning
253 * Fixed a bug that would cause monsters to have extremely high HP after
254 loading the monster database.
255 * Tweaked the forest events percentages. They happened too frequently.
256 * New player database format:
257 - Alive/Dead is no longer saved as a word in the database. It is
259 - 3 new integer values were added to the end of every player string
260 representing their inventory (healing, strength, and defense
262 * Changed the Player structure to use 2 new flags which eliminated 2
263 boolean values (alive & yourturn) to save a little memory.
264 * Fixed a bug that allowed a player already in a fight to be challenged
265 by another player. The other player was then locked into the fight
267 * Added a use command that allows a player to use items in their inventory.
268 Currently the only items are health, strength, and defense potions.
269 Command may be used in battle, but it costs you your turn.
270 * Changed the stats command so that it takes the player name as
271 the stats request. You type /msg GameServ stats nick still, but
272 nick no longer has to be on IRC. You use the player name instead of
274 * Added a new hybrid patch to the contrib dir. (Thank you wcampbel)
275 * Fixed a problem in the display_help() function that could cause a bus
276 error. The problem was with changing literal text when passed to the

279 * Fixed a bug that allowed a player to be registered twice if the player
280 was not online. (Thank you wcampbel)
281 * Added an inventory command which allows players to view how many

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