changelog: 3/31/04 (release) - Created doc/cwg directory for all future CWG releated documentation. Random Thoughts has submitted 2 documents, one for adding races and one for adding levels. I've also moved Key Ray's portals.pdf and vehicles.pdf into that directory. - Added new guild master code. New commands show guild, and gedit <guild number>) have been added. Works very much like sedit. You can now tell a guild master what he can train, and who he can train it to. Very cool code submitted by Death! 3/28/04 - Change to do_look for keyword interaction by Ken Ray. - Changes to oedit_parse for object timers by Ken Ray. 3/20/04 - Changes to house.c to allow loading house saved objects. Thanks to firebird_223 for the patch! 3/19/04 - Changes to Crash_listrent reported by firebird_223. 3/11/04 - Update to race_app_skill so the array was initlized with the correct number of elements. Thanks to Random for helping me see it. 3/10/04 - Strange behavior reported in spell_recall. It was sending players to the RNUM value of MORTAL_CONFIG_START, not the VNUM value. Thanks to Olmy. 3/06/04 - Update to copyover() due to some 128 bit flag checking issues. Thanks to cunning for reporting this! - Updated the lib/misc/messages file to include more color!

This was done in CWG-Buddha in support of the addition of TBA world files, and done in CWG-SunTzu for consistancy. - Change to assemblyAddComponent() to allow assemblies to have more than one of the same item required to create them. Thanks to firebird_223 for asking about this! 2/24/04 - Added level and broken item check for wear all. Found and fixed by Ken! 2/22/04 - Added IMM command peace to stop all fighting in that room.

Thanks to Ashen (ashen@moonlightglade.net) for bringing this up! 2/19/04 - Updated save_char to correctly save PREFFLAGS, AFFFLAGS, and PLRFLAGS. Thanks to Nate! - Fix for LOADROOM and copyover conflicts. Thank to Ken! 2/16/04 - Updated code in ok_pick() so people who don't have any skill in pick lock can't automatically pick locks!

Thanks to Rumble (rumble@builderacademy.net)! - Seems to be something wrong with the way do_get is being called from mobile_activity, and it is truncating the keyword list. I have changed it to perform_get_from_room pending investigation. Thanks to cunning (scotty1@budweiser.com) for reporting this! 1/31/04 (release) - Happy 1st Birthday to the CWG Project!

Thanks to firebird_223! - Fixed a bug in enchant weapon spell which allowed only a +1 TOHIT and +1 TODAMAGE regardless of caster level. 1/14/04 - Changed do_wake so you default to POS_STANDING instead of POS_SITTING which is just a little annoying. - Updated perform_immort_vis to account for 128 bit flag usage. - Removed SKILL_WP_WHIP from CLASS_MAGIC_USER as all whip items in the game are !MAGE anyway. - Fixed another problem in appear() which was not removing the AFF_HIDE flag during combat. 1/12/04 - Added item_check() and is_better() functions for mobs when they pick up equipment. This allows them to use better equipment they obtain. Works for weapons and armor both!

All thanks to Ken Ray! 11/07/03 - Removed SKILL_WP_CLUB, SKILL_WP_MACE should work in all cases. - Added MATERIAL_GRANITE. - Moved SPELL_IDENTIFY from skill number 201 to 56 so it could be accessable under oedit. It should also now be able to assign via class.c as a castable spell for players. - Increased MAX_SPELLS to 57 so all newer spells which have been added are accessable under oedit. - Changed apply_ac so that any piece of worn armor only gives it's value0 value to the players AC. 11/01/03 - Really fixed the problem with message boards. - I have started making code changes to import the core game world from my old MUD project, The Eternal Empire.

Thanks Ken! 9/28/03 (pl3) - Fixed two problems related to renting when rent wasn't free. 1) After renting, character would return to the game at The Void (0). 2) When quitting the game (without renting) the characters items would be dropped to the room, but not removed from their inventory. This could very easily allow players to duplicate items. - Another attempt to clean up some warnings for MS Visual Studio. Changes to conf.h.win etc... - A few changes in enter_player_game so they would use calls to the newly installed CONFIG_ defs used by CEDIT. - Fixes to redit.c for ROOM FLAGS. - Increased NUM_ROOM_FLAGS on oasis.h.

Submitted by Tom Brumbaugh <pbrumbaugh@nc.rr.com> 9/21/03 (pl1) - Set SPEAKING(ch) == SKILL_LANG_COMMON to init_char in db.c This was causing the first new IMP to speak gibberish that no one could understand. Additional cleanup of list_languages submitted by Ken Ray <kenr86@hotmail.com>. - Several things were missing from MEDIT. Race/Class manipulation as well as 128 bit support for MOB and AFF flags. 9/20/03 (beta release) - Finally completed the addition of Oasis 2.0.5 as well as DG Scripts 0.99pl11! - Added objstacking patch.

Thanks to Ken Ray <kenr86@hotmail.com> 9/17/03 - Added mobstacking patch. Entry in config.c controls weather mobs will be stacked or not. Thanks to Ken Ray <kenr86@hotmail.com> 9/16/03 - Added Ken Ray's PATCHLIST patch.

Thanks to John Feltz <john@aginformation.com> 6/29/03 (release) - updates to objsave.c so that AUTOEQ will work with newly added EQ positions on 6/9. 6/18/03 - replaced all ch->in_room calls with IN_ROOM(ch) for general cleanliness. 6/16/03 - created additional affect_update_violence system so you can create spells which last only for PULSE_VIOLENCE (2 seconds) rather than a standard MUD tick (75 seconds). - added SPELL_PARALIZE which demonstrates the new affect_update_violence system. This spell is NOT complete, as it does NOT prevent the paralyzed target from moving or using skills etc... - added SPELL_CAUSE_LIGHT which does 1-8 points of damage. - added SPELL_CAUSE_CRITIC which does 3-24 points of damage. 6/12/03 - fixed typo related to the addition of SKILL_DISARM in spell_parser.c - added AFF_UNDEAD so undead mobs (or players) can be correctly flagged as such. - added SKILL_TURNING which can be used by CLERICs to turn (or possibly destroy) AFF_UNDEAD mobs (or players). - added APPLY_TURN_LEVEL so an object could give a player a bonus to turning undead (like a special Holy Symbol, etc). 6/11/03 - added EX_SECRET to the door flags so a door can be flagged hidden. - added search command which allows you to search for hidden exits. - changed do_simple_move so players couldn't find hidden exits by trying to walk into them. - some minor changes to redit in the way it interacts with door flags. 6/09/03 - added 4 new equipment positions: BACKPACK, EARS (x2), WINGS and MASK. 5/31/03 - added SKILL_DISARM based on code posted to Circle Mailing List by <eglamkowski@angelfire.com>. - bugfix for enchant_weapon spell, as posted to Circle Mailing List by <eglamkowski@angelfire.com>. - added a check for ROOM_PEACEFUL in do_kick. There is also a check in damage() to prevent this, but checking at the start of the skill is more consistent. As posted to Circle Mailing List by <eglamkowski@angelfire.com>. - bugfix for locate_object spell, as posted to Circle Mailing List by <eglamkowski@angelfire.com>. 5/26/03 (release) - added percentage loading code for zone reset commands. This way you can assign percentages to zone reset commands so they can happen more randomly. The default value for all zone commands is '0' which means they will ALWAYS load. If you plan to patch this code in, make sure you check the posts on the cwg_mailing list because you need to do some kludging. - added CWG_VERSION in structs.h. This shows up when you are booting the game, after the circle_version and DG_SCRIPTS_VERSION tags and also in game using the version command. 5/18/03 - added portal_object to config.c so you can control the object number of the portal object used by spell_portal. An example of a portal object: #2 portal~ a glowing portal~ A glowing portal hovers here forming a gateway to another place.~ ~ 28 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 0 0 0 0 - - added spell_portal. When cast, it creates two portal objects which can be used to get from point a to point b. These objects are set with a timer based on the level of the caster. - added ITEM_PORTAL. By using the enter command you can use the portal to transport whatever vnum OBJ_VAL(0) is set to. Portal objects can use the TIMER to expire. - dg_scripts update to calls in spell_recall and spell_teleport. 5/17/03 - Changes to oedit so object material types don't get reset to 0 when you edit object values. 5/12/03 - Fix to the whois code. 5/11/03 (release) - zero level mobs are set to level 1 in db.c. - OLC permissions for IMMs are saved/loaded to pfile. - Race is now a factor in points regeneration, previously only age was a factor. This is problematic for longer lived races. - The pc_race_types array was incorrect based on what is defined in structs.h. In turn, many mobs were incorrect as well. Included is a updated set of mob files.
