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

34 * Fixed a minor bug where gameserv was not notifying of a syntax error in
35 /msg gameserv store buy x x - kain (thank you wolfgar)
38 * Monsters are completely generated except for the names, weapons, and
39 death cries. A range is set for each level's strength, gold, exp, and
40 hp, and a new monster is generated at random during every forest
41 search. This makes for a more unique gaming experience at the expense
42 of some cpu time on random number generations - kain & wolfgar
43 * The structure for holding monsters is now different. Monsters are all
44 stored in the monsters subdirectory in levelx.dat files where x is
45 the level 1 through 12. This will allow for an arbitrary amount of
46 monsters per level - kain & wolfgar

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

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

120 * Added an optional config file directive BOPER which makes

122 * Added an optional config file directive USEPRIVMSG which makes
123 gameserv use /msg instead of /notice - kain
124 * Made the ignoreservers config file option work for bahamut - kain
125 * Fixed an error in do_register that was not adding the client to the
126 players list correctly, causing newly registered players to be
127 locked out of identifying until the next gameserv restart - kain
128 * Fixed an error that crashed GameServ if you tried to fight a player
129 lower than the configured level - kain

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

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

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

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

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