Aardwolf MUD News and Updates.

Autokeep command, nodesc option, other changes.

Lasher, August 24, 2010

Game changes in this update:

  • There is a new ‘autokeep’ command. When set to on this will cause items bought from a store to automatically be kept.
  • The limits for ‘ownedwhere’ and ‘ownedcarry’ have been increased to 500 each.
  • If you are low level and get a campaign mob such as the academy where you might level out of range and be unable to reach the mob, you will now receive a warning. Mobs restricted by specific scripts of their own won’t be covered by this, but most others should.
  • I increased the default compare score on damage from +2 to +4 per extra point of damage.
  • The ‘nodesc’ option added to look will allow you to look at a player or mob without seeing their description. For example, ‘look lasher nodesc’.
  • Cleaned up the output when typing ‘battlecry’ with no other arguments.
    • – Will explicitly show when no battlecry is set.
    • – Will show the ‘appears as’ when one *is* set.
    • – Tidied up the syntax a little.
    • – You can now also use ‘clear battlecry’ to clear it.
  • Mobs that are so low level you don’t get exp for them will no longer shift your alignment.


Bug fixes in this update:

  • The ‘who options’ were not working correctly when abbreviated. Now fixed.
  • Fixed the clan column not quite being enough in rankings. Also modified powerup colums in rank 16 and 17 to be wider and removed ‘gquests’ from these 2 rankings to keep it under 80 characters wide.
  • When a room is checked for brightness levels it now defaults to inside unless explicitly flagged outside – this makes it consistent with the ‘weather’ command, ranger spells etc. It should also help with some rooms needing more than 1 light to see in them (although some others are intentionally set this way).
  • Tempering a weapon belonging to your spouse should have the same str+dex requirement as if it belonged to you.
  • Eqsearch will never normally replace a piece of Aard equipment. I changed this for weapons so that if there are higher scoring items in stores than your current Aard weapon, they will still be shown.
  • Checks in the ‘skin’ command were out of order making it possible to destroy the corpse with a typo such as ‘skin sleves’. Now fixed.
  • Goal files will now be saved immediately when a goal is started. This already happens when a goal is completed, but because of a couple of crashes we ended up with a higher number completed than started on some goals.
  • When casting ‘cancel’, you will receive a different message if you have no affects that can actually be cancelled vs just having no affects at all.
  • Using reinforce was adding weight to an item without increasing the player weight carried, which means weight was lowered by the wrong amount when dropping the item.
