9 * Fixed a new bug that crashed gameserv when someone attempted to register a nickname - Kain
10 * SET [playername] HP # now also sets the Max HP for a player if it's lower than what you're

12 only 10, their maxhp will now be 1000 also - Kain
13 * Added a new config file directive maxnicklen which lets you enforce a maximum length for

45 to work - Kain (thanks vroomfondel)

95 Whenever someone beats the dragon, their player is placed in the Dragon's spot
96 guarding the lair. All other attempts to fight the dragon will cause a duel
97 between your old character and the challenger. You essentially become the new
98 dragon, but the old character's name gets a DRAGON- next to it. You are also
99 now reset back to level 1 - kain w/ thanks to Tsukasa at watnet.org for the idea
100 * Changed the way the sacks of gold and extra experience point forest

115 monsters' names, weapons, and death phrases are being stored which
116 should make for less memory leakage and minimized overall memory
118 * Fixed a minor bug where gameserv was not notifying of a syntax error in
119 /msg gameserv store buy x x - kain (thank you wolfgar)
122 * Monsters are completely generated except for the names, weapons, and
123 death cries. A range is set for each level's strength, gold, exp, and
124 hp, and a new monster is generated at random during every forest
125 search. This makes for a more unique gaming experience at the expense
126 of some cpu time on random number generations - kain & wolfgar
127 * The structure for holding monsters is now different. Monsters are all
128 stored in the monsters subdirectory in levelx.dat files where x is
129 the level 1 through 12. This will allow for an arbitrary amount of
130 monsters per level - kain & wolfgar
131 * Every time a new news item is added, GameServ announces it in the forest
133 * Added a notice to the forest channel that the player data was

145 new forest fights, etc... - kain

147 (bugID 966653) (thank you Jono H - xjono)

150 * Added Ultimate2.8.x support - kain
151 * Healing potions can only add up to 100 over your max HP now - kain

153 a forest fight if you were broke - kain

155 gained, and none to be added on the last level - kain
156 * Added daily news with automatic additions when you gain a level,
157 unsuccessfully best your master, kill someone, or are killed - kain
160 * Took experience out of calculating the cost of potions - kain
161 * Added even more strength to masters (your defense bonus for each level)

178 * Doubled the required experience for fighting masters - kain
179 * Fixed a cosmetic bug (sorta) that caused your HP not to read 0 when
180 you're dead (thanks Ricky-S) - kain
181 * Fixed a divide by 0 bug that occurred when you attacked, but had no
182 weapon (BugID 946043) (thank you NOTevil) - kain
183 * Fixed a logic error allowing players to bank during a fight - kain
184 * Added more gold per monster above level 4 - kain
187 * Fixed a logical error causing the ListenOnCF flag to only work in P10
189 * Fixed the store command to display syntax on improper sequence of
190 commands (thanks damaged) - kain
191 * Added monsters for levels 10, 11, and 12 (created by damaged, edited
193 * Made the masters stats match the next level's monsters' stats a lot

199 * Made the ignoreservers config file option work for Unreal - kain
200 * Fixed a minor logical problem that was causing players to be mugged
201 for 0 gold when they were either dead or had no gold on hand and

203 * Fixed the bug not allowing different config files to be used - kain
204 * Added an optional config file directive BOPER which makes
205 gameserv become an oper on the network - kain
206 * Added an optional config file directive USEPRIVMSG which makes
207 gameserv use /msg instead of /notice - kain
208 * Made the ignoreservers config file option work for bahamut - kain
209 * Fixed an error in do_register that was not adding the client to the
210 players list correctly, causing newly registered players to be
211 locked out of identifying until the next gameserv restart - kain
212 * Fixed an error that crashed GameServ if you tried to fight a player
213 lower than the configured level - kain
214 * Reduced the effect of potions since the price is down - kain
215 * Reduced the price of potions significantly - kain
216 * Added a few timeout events if you're not in a fight - kain
219 * Included a crontab script in all new distros now - kain

231 * Fixed up the is_playing boolean function to be more strict - kain
232 * A true timestamp is now sent on SJOIN for hybrid servers. TS of 1

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

279 * Fixed a core in RUN if a client wasn't playing. - wcampbel
280 * Added an option to specify the PID file in the config file. - kain
283 * Missing directives now are identified for config files upon startup - kain
284 * Added a --help option to the gameserv binary - kain

286 * Added a nifty startup intro with the version number. - Kain
287 * Fixed BANK BALANCE (BugID 895157) - wcampbel

297 * Fixed a bug that caused the identify function to segfault. - kain
298 * Fixed some P10 Functionality - kain
299 * Merged in the Hybrid patch - wcampbel

303 * Created Monsters for level 8
304 * Increased the size of the monster struct to account for longer names,
305 weapons, and death phrases.
306 * Created Monsters for level 7
307 * Fixed a bug causing the bank balance command not to work correctly.
309 * Added HP potions to increase maximum HP.
310 * Made strength and defense potions add either 1 or 2 points rather than
312 * Made the monsters a bit harder. I found that as the game progressed,
313 it got easier and easier instead of harder.
314 * Fixed the forest events from happening too often. Also, the fountain
315 forest event specifically was adding too many forest fights, making
319 * Added a Reset command to GameServ that functions the same was as the
320 refresh command, except it completely resets a player to the beginning
322 * Fixed a bug that would cause monsters to have extremely high HP after
323 loading the monster database.
324 * Tweaked the forest events percentages. They happened too frequently.
325 * New player database format:
326 - Alive/Dead is no longer saved as a word in the database. It is
328 - 3 new integer values were added to the end of every player string
329 representing their inventory (healing, strength, and defense
331 * Changed the Player structure to use 2 new flags which eliminated 2
332 boolean values (alive & yourturn) to save a little memory.
333 * Fixed a bug that allowed a player already in a fight to be challenged
334 by another player. The other player was then locked into the fight
336 * Added a use command that allows a player to use items in their inventory.
337 Currently the only items are health, strength, and defense potions.
338 Command may be used in battle, but it costs you your turn.
339 * Changed the stats command so that it takes the player name as
340 the stats request. You type /msg GameServ stats nick still, but
341 nick no longer has to be on IRC. You use the player name instead of
343 * Added a new hybrid patch to the contrib dir. (Thank you wcampbel)
344 * Fixed a problem in the display_help() function that could cause a bus
345 error. The problem was with changing literal text when passed to the
346 function as a filename. The function now copies the data as a local
347 variable and modifies that. (Thank you wcampbel)
348 * Fixed a bug that allowed a player to be registered twice if the player
349 was not online. (Thank you wcampbel)
350 * Added an inventory command which allows players to view how many

353 them in their inventory for later use.
354 * Made some cosmetic changes to this file.
355 * Added an inventory class Pouch which allows players to carry around
356 things such as potions and such.
359 * Added a missing help file admin_commands. It was written before, but
361 * Admins can now identify as any user without having the correct password.
362 * Fixed a bug that allowed for two nicknames to identify for the same player.
363 * Added a forestfights directive to the config file so admins can set the
364 default daily forest fights.
365 * Added a die directive to the config file that will not let you start
366 GameServ if it is present.
367 * Inputted monsters for Level 6. Six more levels left unfinished.
368 * Changed confloadtime directive to welcomedelay directive in the config file.
369 This made more sense.
370 * Added an updateperiod directive to the config file. This represents the
371 period (in seconds) for updating the player data file. Every time the
372 gameserv server gets a message it will check to see if "updateperiod"
373 seconds or more have elapsed since the last update.
376 * Fixed the welcome msg sending "ICK" instead of the nickname of a new
377 aclient. (Thank you wcampbel)
378 * Load now has an optional parameter "monsters" which will force a load of the
379 monsterdata file. This is useful for changing monsters on-the-fly.
380 * Added a load_monsters function that loads from a preconfigured monsters.dat
381 file instead of hard coding the monsters into the array. Users can now
382 change the monster configuration around without knowing C/C++.
383 * Added a new directive to the config file: confloadtime
384 this represents the delay (in seconds) until GameServ sends a welcome
385 message to incoming clients.
386 * Added the welcome message to the config file. See gameserv.example.conf
387 for more info on how to use the variable as a formatted string.
390 * Removed a lot of extra list searches by changing all of the boolean
391 functions to take aClient as a parameter instead of a nickname string.
392 * Added an is_alive boolean function. Players must now wait until the next
394 * Saving the player->flags integer to the players.dat file. Old databases
396 QUICK FIX: put a 0 to the left of the encrypted passwords for all player
397 entries so the database can load properly. Look in flags.h for a
398 description of the way flags work.
401 * Added a /version reply
402 * Fixed the Makefile to include configscript.cpp
403 * Added a join message when people connect to the IRCD. The message is set
404 on a delay so that on the initial nick burst, the services do not send
405 everyone the message.
406 * Changed the admin commands from a simple password interface to a more
407 sophisticated flags approach. Now you have to identify with the
408 administrator password once, and your flags indicate that you are an
409 admin for all commands.
410 * Full help files available in corrected form for the new administrator type
414 * Added some admin features.
416 * Added help menu functionality for all commands.
417 * Fixed the register command so it notified the client that registration
419 * Changed the master command so that you didn't have to fight your master
420 if you had enough experience. There is now a question/fight subcommand
421 set for the master command.
422 * Tweaked the masters a bit. Basically, they were too tough. Once a player
423 had enough experience, they had no chance against their master until
424 they got the next two weapons up. This made the next level too easy.
425 Past level 1 still needs tweaking.
426 * Added functionality for bahamut IRCD
429 * Added autoconf functionality to the gameserv package. Does not compile
430 correctly on SunOS without tweaking.
431 * Fixed the game so that players stats reset at midnight UTC + 8 hours.
432 time(NULL) - (time(NULL) % 86400) + 3600 * 8
433 * Added a contrib directory with a user submitted patch for hybrid ircd.
