New Channels, Resist bars redone, other changes.

List of changes made to Aardwolf MUD on Feb 20th 2011:

Game Enhancements:

• Shield Punch with 1000 weight shield would always daze the target regardless of stats. This has been changed and chances of a shield dazing is now partly based on victim con. The max effective weight that will count towards daze is 4000.
• ‘Quit Check’ will now show items in containers along with the container id:

     [  9] (Nosave)   - Aylorian Sword (inside Vladia's Shopping Bag/639441811)
     [  1] (Nosave)   - Aylorian Sword (Worn)

• The resist bars on ‘score’ have been redone. They are no longer linear and they now max out just under 2500.

• Light now a damage type that can be set on weapons.
• Changed the format of ‘wangrp’ channel slightly – align is now shown rather than the text, and compressed the other info.
• There is a new ‘sports’ channel, should be pretty obvious what it’s for. Cursing is allowed on sports channel, other rules still apply.
• There is a new channel called ‘mxit’. The intent is that you can use ‘txt speak’ on this channel without being told “use full sentences!” etc. IF u dnt lk ths sentnce u shld nt trn it on!?!!!!!11111!!11. As ‘mxit’ is also a command for imms, the ‘txt’ command is an alias for it.

Bug Fixes in this reboot:

• Using ‘pick lock’ when you don’t have the skill will now give a message saying so rather than just ‘you failed’.
• Failed Bodycheck could sometimes give an invalid ‘… is immume’ messsage, now fixed.
• Quit check will now show both worn and carried items at the same time. It would previously only show one or the other.
• Quest actions such as qreset, complete, fail, etc should now flag a group as needing GMCP update.
• The ‘rainbow will only work outside’ message will now only show once even if, behind the scenes, rainbow multicasts.
• Casting cure disease on someone else in a silent spell room did not show a success message, now fixed.
• Fixed a bug with GMCP group causing additional prompts to be sent during combat.
• Roster 10 will now sort by total level rather than just by tier and classes. Redos are not included in this, that part is intentional.
• Mobs names with a quote in them were causing problems in GMCP says. They are now correctly escaped.
• Seeing the experience other group members gain will now be based on your own ‘exprate’ setting rather than theirs.
• The ‘xxx feels abandoned and leaves’ pet message will only echo to the room when a player quits if the pet is in the same room.
• If a player in a group renames, the group leader name, group member name or from/to side of a group invite should now rename correctly.
• Party Harmoney, Party Shield and Party Sanctuary will now return an already affected spellup tag when the affect is not added to anyone.
• Suicide was leaving mana/moves unchanged if the clan had a custom suicide message. Now fixed.
