This is most certainly true of any things I've touched.<br> <br> This page contains late-breaking bugfixes found between Dead Souls releases. Only important bugs are addressed<br> here. Feature enhancements become available on full release. Minor, non-critical bugfixes are listed in the <a href="http://dead-souls.net/fixes.html">general fixes page</a>.<br> All of the fixes listed here will be included in the next release. They are provided here early in order to address<br> potential problems.<br> <br> <h3><b><u>Always back up files before overwriting them with hotfixes.</u></b></h3> <b><font color="red">Dead Souls 2.0r25</font> and below available hotfixes:</b><br> <ul> <li>There is a <a href="http://dead-souls.net/news.html#16jun06">serious security problem</a> that affects all versions of Dead Souls below 2.0r26. The only fix is to apply an upgrade patch. <br> The <a href="http://dead-souls.net/code/patches/dspatch_2.0r21_2.1.zip">patch</a> to upgrade to Dead Souls 2.1 is available now. This patch can be applied to any version of Dead Souls 2.0 above 2.0r20. </li> </ul> <b><font color="red">Dead Souls 2.1</font> available hotfixes: </b><br> <ul> <li>Admintool has a security bug where, if you are standing in the same room as the target, and you encre/decre them, they can gain <br> access to admintool functions. Replace /secure/cmds/admins/admintool.c with this <a href="http://dead-souls.net/code/fixes/admintool.c">file</a>, then update /secure/cmds/admins/admintool.c <br> (thanks to Zaphod @ HodgePodge for the report) <br> <br> </li> <li>A bug in verbs allows players to use the force command. This is a problem. The workaround is to replace copy <a href="http://dead-souls.net/code/fixes/force.c">this file</a> over<br> /secure/verbs/creators/force.c , then type: update /secure/verbs/creators/force.c (thanks to Zaroth @ Divided Realms for the report) <br> <br> </li> <li>If you created a new local channel (call me->AddChannel("blahfoo")) its data is being sent to the router. To stop this, <br> copy <a href="http://dead-souls.net/code/fixes/chat.c">this file</a> over /secure/daemon/chat.c then type: update /secure/daemon/chat.c </li> </ul> <b><font color="red">Dead Souls 2.1.1</font> available hotfixes: </b> <ul> <li>None. 2.1.1 contains the latest available hotfixes. </li> </ul> <br> <br> <div id="footer"> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="index.html">Return to Dead Souls Homepage</a></p> </div> </body> </html>
