2 * Implemented the new dragon/boss system as suggested by Tsukasa:
3 Whenever someone beats the dragon, their player is placed in the Dragon's spot
4 guarding the lair. All other attempts to fight the dragon will cause a duel
5 between your old character and the challenger. You essentially become the new
6 dragon, but the old character's name gets a DRAGON- next to it. You are also
7 now reset back to level 1 - kain w/ thanks to Tsukasa at watnet.org for the idea
8 * Changed the way the sacks of gold and extra experience point forest
9 events were calculated. It is now just as if you killed a monster
10 and didn't have to fight - kain

23 should make for less memory leakage and minimized overall memory
25 * Fixed a minor bug where gameserv was not notifying of a syntax error in
26 /msg gameserv store buy x x - kain (thank you wolfgar)
29 * Monsters are completely generated except for the names, weapons, and
30 death cries. A range is set for each level's strength, gold, exp, and
31 hp, and a new monster is generated at random during every forest
32 search. This makes for a more unique gaming experience at the expense
33 of some cpu time on random number generations - kain & wolfgar
34 * The structure for holding monsters is now different. Monsters are all
35 stored in the monsters subdirectory in levelx.dat files where x is
36 the level 1 through 12. This will allow for an arbitrary amount of
37 monsters per level - kain & wolfgar

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

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

110 * Fixed the bug not allowing different config files to be used - kain
111 * Added an optional config file directive BOPER which makes
112 gameserv become an oper on the network - kain
113 * Added an optional config file directive USEPRIVMSG which makes
114 gameserv use /msg instead of /notice - kain
115 * Made the ignoreservers config file option work for bahamut - kain
116 * Fixed an error in do_register that was not adding the client to the
117 players list correctly, causing newly registered players to be
118 locked out of identifying until the next gameserv restart - kain
119 * Fixed an error that crashed GameServ if you tried to fight a player
120 lower than the configured level - kain
121 * Reduced the effect of potions since the price is down - kain
122 * Reduced the price of potions significantly - kain
123 * Added a few timeout events if you're not in a fight - kain
126 * Included a crontab script in all new distros now - kain
127 * Added a new flag that tells wether a person is playing instead of

142 * Added a timeout mechanism with two new config file options - kain
143 - If players are fighting, and the one who's turn it is times out,

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

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