27 July : In the process of the last few days i made the following adjustments:
- Removed become
- fixed rose command (hopefully)
- Redid parts of snoop and alias
- Added new zones: evolution, noxypickle, rainforest and some who
are being developed
- did minor cleanups of errors and warnings during compile
- Redid the zone bootstrap and questdone list. This will now show
which Quests are in the process of being done. Ofcourse this is
a very rough estimate, but it may help players decide what to
do next ;)
- New Lflag: Rapids, requires the player to carry a raft instead
of a normal boat.
- New Oflag: ReflectMagic, i think thats an obvious one.
- Fiddled with Makefiles
- Login timeout of 2 minutes
23 June : nofinger now also protects your laston status.
16 June : Disabled become for all levels below wizard master
15 June : Added zone adept, added some more RZA checks.
30 May : Hopefully fixed the bug in rope code
Added colours to tell.
Removing The Stone Temple as start place ;)

up as much as it can after the mud has rebooted ;)
Also made scan show deathrooms when there arent always deathrooms
around.
15 May : Added a automatic mud poller to keep an up to date mudlist. Soon
to get company of an automatic www-page mudlist.
13 May : changed Away command to add reasons of being away.

10 May : Fixed the bug that allowed players who drank an invis potion, to stay
invis for teh remainder of their stay.
3 May : Havent notified my changes here. Nothing really big except for one
thing.. A fix to the regular "fight" bug. Seems to hold and havent
had as many crashes since then. Also the sockets have ssem to
behave a little better, yet not perfect.
There were also some security holes here and there in the location
flag system, which have been dealt with.
Furthermore we have 2 new zones in the pipeline for future
addition. Both are currently being tested for bugs etc.
Work in progress:
- autoeat, current status: Standstill.. waiting for seoman.
- new zone, standstill, still in development?
- login timeout: In progress.. testing code atm before installing
- Away message: postponed untill we have cleand up the who listing
a little.
16 April: Fixing Fixing Fixing, who knows maybe it works?
Anyways, worked on filtering out the reboot error, and i removed
the eatwimpy code just in case.

the mud. So one bug less ;)

30 August 1996 Marty

28 Juli 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Installed experimental improved reboot code. More error catching, more
structurized. (old code is in main.old)
25 Juli 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Have been struggling with the pflags/masks again, I think this time it works
okay.
Worked a little with the prompting of the file pager.
24 Juli 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Found a bug in party system (if name consists of more than one word, it will
crash in dcprnt()), fixed it.
Adjusted the closing time routine, added an extra warning 1 min before
closing, and added loop that will kick off all players except the operator.
Also stopped mobiles and deactivated events when mud is closed (starts
again when the mud opens again).
Added log-message for opening hours.
Found an enourmously sneaky 'feature' that would give every player the
oppurtunity to become a god. Adjusted the code and removed this security
hole.
Also removed the yn_handler stuff, that wasn't used anywhere.
23 Juli 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added some comments here and there. Added the EVENT_HANDLER define, to make
the special events definitions more standarized and easier to adjust.
17 Juli 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Worked on a way to imprive the messaging system (the bprintf), Have some
basics, but needs to be worked out more to allow backward compatibility.
It basically won't need a globals_setup, and wont use the cur_player
pointer to find the right stream.
Maybe easier if i say this: The system is multiuser, but bprintf isnt,
so it needs changing.
16 Juli 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Moved communications commands that were in sflag.c to communicate.c.
Cleaned up some functions that should be somewhere else, like in actions.
commands.c should be quite clean now.
Moved puff's punt code to npc/puff.c, installed the special events handler
in puntcom (E_ONMISC, param_s.misc = VERB_PUNT)
removed some unused code.
15 Juli 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Moved all frob commands to admin.c, moved all similair code of wizfrob -
godfrob into one function.
Worked a little on manual, added appendix B and Chapter 6.
8 Juli 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Renamed ferries system to AT-system, since it now should work for more
than just ferries.
Reintroduced the percentage read bit in the pager.
Split exit mudlog message to 2 lines, 1 showing the name, one showing
the stats.
Added some log code that were mentioned in config, but not in code.
Renamed uaf_rand to users_data.
Made a seperate dir for 'external' messages (like wiz.txt)
30 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Introduced the ferries system, not perfect yet, but getting there.
27 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Fixed some small bugs in eehandler. emoteall didnt work, emoteto worked
always, even if the player wasn't found (Possible crash bug).
23 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Almost cleared get, only one special is remaining....
22 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Cleared Dropinpit getcom, working on dropobj and get1objfrom.
20 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added a new player host lock. Basically allow old players to enter, but
not any new players. Uses hostlock to display a message, and locked_hosts
as file where all locked hosts administrated. Unfortunately I had to
implement this after some unfortunate experiences on my own MUD. :(
19 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Fixed homecom. CLoned rooms now work as well..
17 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Cleaned out open/close/lock/unlock
Upped the puff talkrate, to make it almost equal to the old puff, I just
love her too much to mute her ;)
14 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added NoWeather flag and command etc.
13 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Improved the move code. Almost removed all special cases and made the
Bar flag test a bit more efficient (it used to check ALL mobiles, now only
those in the same room as you).
Later that day: Finished cleaning up mobile.c for now..
12 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Removed all links to mobiles in fight.c. Only some small references to objects,
but those will come later.
11 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Cleaned communicate.c, made it easier for people to create mobiles that
respond to messages. This can be done by the even E_ONCOMM, the input
message is in param_s.buf, and it expects the output message in there as
well. If param_s.ret is not changed, it will send the new message back to
the player who sent the original message. See haven_bard for a small example.
Also changed the sayback messages to the emotes, I Hated the old way.
10 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Pushcom switches are out! Except for tie and untie, just some small code
exceptions remain before commands.c is clear.
Removed some of the small instances... only one entry in pray is a little
hard to convert... but i will find how to do it... i hope..
Except for tie and untie commands.c is clear!
9 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Stripped all puffs from the code and put it into the npc/puff.c file.
Puff should be a bit more mellow, since it is now called once every 2
seconds instead of twice.
Cleared dogive from all special events.
Cleared examcom and lookcom, Wow that looks a lot better now ;)
Only shame is that the executable seems to grow, but i think it is worth it
8 June 96 Marty (4921749@hsu1.fnt.hvu.nl)
-----------------------------------------------------
In an attempt to make the core engine clean again I made the special function
calls. This are pointers in the datastructure which points to a function
with the code that should be handled on a special event. It basically is the
same as it was, but it allows the kernel to keep clean and perhaps later to
add a catch field in the zone file. Explenation on that will come later.
I will move as many cases as possible to this new type since i think it will
make the kernel clearer in use.
The special code goes into a file in the npc, objects or rooms dir
4 June 96 Marty (4921749@hsu1.fnt.hvu.nl)
-----------------------------------------------------
Change the follow code. Removed a small bug in followcom()
Removed saveall call from healall.
Called version 1.2.3.1
Messed around with s_socket.c.
Debugged The powerscom and rulerscom.
Touched the blizzard.zone, haven.zone. Connected testzone demon to
shady clearing.
Added some more comments to the config.h file. It should be more than
clear now.
Changed syslogging a little.
Removed rhome.zone from distribution.
Signing off for today
3 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Retouched Village.zone should confuse some macros out there ;)
Split xlimbo into seperate zones.
Gonna revamp all commenly used zones so beware!
2 June 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Changed Dump to show date of entry with the -d option.
Changed a little title bug (had one title to much in wizlevels).
Replaced the Dyrt syslog to the iDirt syslog routine, which was a
bit smarter implemented.
Now do a strncasecmp to see if an object is an armor or some other type
of equipment, instead of a number check.
26 May 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added nofinger test to showplayer (stat command).
24 May 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Reinstalled Linux, because it is quite clear now my current version isn't
compiling correctly. I have had bug reports of things that worked okay
for me, but no where else. In the release of this date or later most of
the bugs found will have been fixed. Such as:
- Crash bug when a player kills a mobile (magic and non-magic)
- %s crash bug in immortal communication lines
- Stat bug for players who set their home to a self created zone
- Debugged Party code
I deeply appologize for the enourmous bugs in the previous release, but I
had no idea there were any bugs. Hopefully this one would do better.
21 May 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added a fban command (file ban, couldnt use ban because if would clash with
bang, which i would needed to work around). Now Players with the required
flag will be able to ban a player or host from within the mud.
Added a SummonPlr flag, to be able to remove the summon priviledge for
players.
Added NoPuff command and code.
Heard there was a bug in move and kill, but can't find nothing wrong here.
Cleaned up the verbs file, removed condition.c/condition.h
19 May 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added cemote (chat emote line). Kinda emoteall, except you can see its a
fake.
Changed log entries for reboot and connections.
Fixed a bug in immortal channels that wouldn't crash the mud, but would
screw up the player's name and do bizarre things (yes, %-sign bug)
Removed compile warning from s_socket (bind).
17 May 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Upped Oflags to 96, had to change the list_objects to suit the new size.
There are some other functions which could use a little changing as well.
Files that needed changes for the new size are:
generate.c bootstrap.c clone.c objsys.c rooms.c update.c mudtypes.h
mudmacros.h and a couple more...
Changed some of the level code. The wizlevels were a bit too hardcoded for
me. I made them a little more flexible so you can add new immortal levels
without running into as much problems as i did. It's still tricky tough.
As I found out on EW the bug fix for the ojects doesn't work at all. No
response from other mud coders on a fix that works.
I Will return pets later when I have some more time. Also this should allow
guilds and such things.
13 May 96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Changed Combat messages a little.
Added Warned Flag (complete now).
08/05/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added a small check and assignment to the int_set code, which will
hopefully prevent the bug with containers I found on EW.
Work in progress on Warned Flag. Can be used to keep an eye out on
players who misbehave.
05/05/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Eek, the lflags werent working correctly (always light), but i fixed it.
04/05/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Party messaging system is in. Added commands to helpfiles.
Had a crash today causing my whole system to go down, somehow it couldn't
get a certain objects and got stuck in what seemed a recursive loop.
Will have to check the files to see what went wrong...
Luckily the files weren't corrupted so i still have my work here
The crash was caused by a what looked like normal object. Removing it solved
the problem, still don't know why the object was wrong... :(
03/05/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added a group function to the mud code, called party. All it needs is a
messaging system (psay or something), works like a train ;)
01/05/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added a nofinger command, which will block lower level players from
seeing someones email. (Also added it to config command)
Fixed a some typos in the spells (I switched hp_loss & damage)
Added a rulerscom, which will show GOD+ players, made powerscom for
Awiz - High Demi
Added the code for MFL_NOGRAB, MFL_DLEVEL, which wasnt in there...
This is starting to get annoying... its the 2nd time I come across
not-implemented flags, I Think that i will check ALL flags for
validity... Now i know why i didnt follow Dyrt in all her moves
30/04/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added a primitive Idle check function. This will currently quit every
player that is idle longer than xx mins (see bottom timing.c). Will
move this to config.h when I think the idle is at the best it can be.
Upped the amount of objects a player can carry to plev(player) + 10
Added the flexible pager length to the syslog command
Moved a part of diagnose to mobile.c. Examine now shows the player
strength status..
29/04/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
As you might have noticed, I changed the files here and there to suit
my taste more. I don't think help is an admin command so i made a
special file (infosys.c) for all the help and info systems in the mud.
The file system.c now contains the commands: global and acct etc etc
I also gave all the files a define to make the compile a bit cleaner.
Look at questnames.h or global.h, for an example how i used it.
Added a hp_loss field to spells type specify how much hit points you loose
when you cast a spell.
Moved the file_pager to bprintf.c
My goal is to remove redundant code to such a size, it will sit nicely
between the old dyrt code and the idirt code.
22/04/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Cleaned up some more old database code. COmpletely removed the exec.c
and exec.h file. Removed all the references to those files and the
one function i hadn't remove yet.
Removed the condact.h file. The database should be completely history
by now..
Fixed a small error in the signal handler routine.
Added ShortExits code. (brief exits format)
20/04/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added the memory leak fix of dragorn. (communication)
14/04/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added sflag for Klock
Updated the config command
Recoded the bit of the reboot system that shows the messages.
Added wimpy level to score
Hate code works okay now (been that way for a while, just forgot
to add it to the changes log)
13/04/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Upped Sflags to 96
11/04/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added klock
Expanded the handler function of the debugger
Changed the general help function
Added qinfo and the info files that goes with it.. Also updated the
old info files
Moved logs by Rex/Dragorn etc to old_changes.i
10/04/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Fixed the entry bug which screwed up your the first time you enter
and had autoexit on (wouldnt get to see the exit), still is there
when transing though :(
Fixed the debugger again.. Now it works again *sigh*
07/04/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
FIxed the calendarcom, when a user wanted to make stormy weather
they couldn't, now they can
Added some checks in move_mobiles and consid_move, hopefully they
will shorten CPU in the future.
Created quest.c to hold all general quest functions. Made a function
called set_quest to be used when a quest is finished.
Also came across some old Ghost code that wouldnt work anymore
anyways so i removed it.
Added the code for Fantasy zone although it was meant for a mud
with mana, but who knows what the future will bring ;)
At the same time I cleaned up wound_player which was still messed
up from the ghost special cases.
04/04/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Well decided today was a good day to up the lflags to 96, if all
goes well, I'll update the rest as well, that should give you
flag-eating maniacs some time to create some creative flags.
Okay fixed lflags (now 96!), next are oflags, although that will
mean i have to adjust the layout of the objects file...

Well after a long and tiring weekend I once again looked at the code
again and found several functions which arent needed anymore
(old functions used by the DATABASE, which was removed by Rex)
I removed them, but have kept a copy of the old ones.
Also cleaned up some previously made code
Reorganised the helpfiles, so you wont get the message
"that person isn't playing now." as much as in the old version
Also recoded the wizchannels a bit.

-----------------------------------------------------
Quickly repared the wimpy code
03/27/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added the update code, enhancement on the old reboot code
Added the config command
Removed the ugly ghost code which, wasnt popular anyways
03/26/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added numreboot/numreset/numcrash to mud code
Expanded the uptime command to show the crashes and the time since
last healall
Added a field to the player file to keep a record of how many
times a player/mobile died. Should be nice. Also added a field
to keep howmany times a player runs into a deathroom, but that
is not implemented yet.
Uncommented some wimpy, but it still doesnt work..

Well a lot has happened since then. First of all I removed the whole
pet system and guild system
I implemented the iDirt signal handling system, which handles crashes
like it should!
Also i completely ripped out the two pass parser, which was a major
pain in my butt. I have wanted to do this a long time, and now i have
completed it. Its now a one pass hash table (read your books if you
dont know what it is).
Also added the exit handler of the iDirt distribution. Works okay,
came with its own signal command to reboot a mud with hung sockets,
although you wont need it since you have got the killsoc command.
You can however simulate other signals with it to test how well the
signal catcher works.
You can also add a new text for sigusr2, if you have some special
reboot to happen

Completed nymph code.
Added small zone for demon pet.
Attached Townhall & Demon to village (replaced fishyard)
Added code for demon zone and some more code for townhall
02/16/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Reorganised the way the pet commands are handled. They now use a
single parser. Added the nymph code.
02/15/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
sleep added. Trance added (need to make a quest to make it available
to players).
added jailcode from Rex and Freakster (cool work but sloppy
instructions here and therei, sorry ;) )
Examined example linkdead code from Vitastjern en Ithor, will try to
implement it as well.
Also looked at hate code, think i will introduce it in some minor version
(ie when fleeing a mobile will remember who attacked him/her)
MayPunt flag added somewhere this week.... Made it impossible to
change it by players themselves.
02/13/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added a couple of actions introduced in EW V1 (Dirt)
02/10/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Added Lostlove and Universe.
Played around with flexible idle times but removed them
Played around with newbie patrol, but deactivated it.
02/08/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Killed players crashed the mud <panic>
Somehow the syslog caused the mud to crash. Have removed
the slain message. Tough luck.
Added visibility check for follow
Added demon free and greet command. Begins to look cool :)
Colored the logfile messages a little. We have color so why
not use them?
02/08/96 Marty

02/07/96 Marty
-----------------------------------------------------
Changed the total look of the MUD to suit my taste.
Added some underwater code.
Changed INFO & Help files.
Added timeout code to mud.

obvious to me)
Added several spare fields in the player files to make new gadgets
possible in the future.
Added the townhall zone.
Added Chat line code.
etc etc.
