I just posted about the pending beta 4 release in another email.
Should hopefully be this weekend.
In the mean time, the change log 
- Kal
| Code: |
Since Dawn1.69s.beta3
16:21 06/01/2007 - Kal
- added a virtual destructor to entity_data in order to adhere to the c++
specs, and also address a compiler warning with the latest GCC versions.
19:23 06/01/2007 - Kal
- Renamed EVENTQUEUE_DEBUG_ENABLED to EVENTQUEUE_TRACE_ENABLED
- Increased EVENTQUEUE_HASH_SIZE to 769 (from the testing value of 3)
- Added to the entity_data class member functions save_events() and
load_events()
- Wrote event_data::save_events_for_entity_chain()
- Added an event_flags[] table for saving/loading event flags
- Added an event_types[] table for saving/loading event types
- Renamed ET_ECHOAT to ET_ECHOTO
- eventtype_to_text() now uses flag_string() and the event_types[] table
20:21 06/01/2007 - Kal
- wrote loading of events for characters
20:25 06/01/2007 - Kal
- made pets and objects load and save events
21:21 06/01/2007 - Kal
- added a "group" field to event_type... This is to allow the events system
to support grouping of events. If you don't specify a group when queuing
a command, it defaults to group EVENTGROUP_DEFAULT (1).
With grouped events, it will be possible to dequeue all events
relating to a set of mudprogs without dequeing the others. Also, an
ifcheck will be implemented so you can test to see if a mob/object has
any events queued belonging to be a particular group.
- Extended do_mpqueue to allow the optional specifying of the group at the
time of queuing... the syntax is:
"mud queue [g#,]<seconds> command" Where # is the group number... e.g.
"mqg5,2 smile" will queue an event that smiles in 2 seconds in group 5.
- Mudprogs can queue events with a group value of 1 through 31999,
system/hardcoded events can use EVENTGROUP_SYSTEM (32000) and higher.
- Delayed prints by the code are in group EVENTGROUP_SYSTEM_PRINT (32001).
- Changed do_mpqueue so you can now queue events to occur in up to 25 days
18:38 07/01/2007 - Kal
- extended event purge system to support purging individual groups and
all mudprog queued events with EVENTGROUP_PURGE_ALL (0), and every
queued event except that which is executing using
EVENTGROUP_PURGE_EVERY_EVENT_INCLUDING_SYSTEM_EVENTS(-1)
- extended do_mpdequeueall to support an optional parameter of 0 thru 31999
- enhanced all debug and logging functions to show event group value
- PERS() now shows a Q before a mob/obj vnum in holyvnum with queued events
21:54 07 January 2007 - Kal
- added mudhelp as an invisible alias for mphelp
- extended the mphelp on queue to discuss queue groupings.
- wrote has_eventgroupqueued() and ifcheck haseventgroupqueued
- wrote ifhelp entry haseventgroupqueued with example
- extended the mphelp on dequeueall to document the extended functionality
- confirmed that queued events on corpses and the objects they contain can
save across reboots.
22:05 07/01/2007 - Kal
- begin_remort() now copies the class and race from the old class to the
new, this is overwritten when they player goes through creation, but it
allows previous class/races selections to effect available remort choices
- added remort_to_classes to class_type
22:46 07/01/2007 - Kal
- wrote classedit_setremortclasses() and classedit_addremortclass()
- added code to save remort_to_classes and initialise it correctly on load
- implemented enforcement of remort_to_classes into nanny_get_new_class()
and other creation code.
21:23 07/07/2007 - Kal
- event_data::event_data() constructor calls smash_tilde() over text input.
- renamed do_dump() to do_dumpstats()... moved it below do_dumpeventqueue
in the interp table. do_dumpstats() is pretty pointless, tweaked it
so it gives some screen output about what it is doing.
22:11 07/07/2007 - Kal
- Started converting mydrian fields only code into code for the dawn release
- converted the mf_experimental creation system
- made visible the mf gamesetting flags
22:32 07/07/2007 - Kal
- Increased size of EVENTQUEUE_HASH_SIZE from 769 to 6151, results in an
extra 25KB to 50KB of memory footprint, but will provide better
performance on muds that use queuing heavily.
- Fixed a crash bug, where non queued events were attempting to dequeue
themselves on player quit, if the player was in ooc.
- Moved events statistics counters into event_data() contructors and
destructor
- added code to log enqueuing as well as dequeuing
22:50 07/07/2007 - Kal
- MF CODE Enablements:
- added GAMESETMF1_PENDANTS_ENABLED
- enabled 16 additional MXP/HTML colours previously in MF only code
- prac is now split into two sections, stuff you can and can't prac.
- enabled hint giving directions to where you can prac and train if defined
- enabled mf gsn_*_mastery where * = blade, dagger & arms (tristan)
- restoring a player, removes their lag - useful when teaching spells as
an imm to a player.

Newbie_prac_location_hint: none
Newbie_train_location_hint: none
Pendant Object Vnum: 25103 (an emerald pendant)
---------Recalls to: Eldorynth Town Hall (room 24500) [Eldorynth]
NewbieMap Object Vnum: 24577 (a map of eldorynth)
- classedit gets the following functions
DECLARE_OLC_FUN( classedit_newbie_prac_location_hint );
DECLARE_OLC_FUN( classedit_newbie_train_location_hint);
DECLARE_OLC_FUN( classedit_pendant_vnum);
DECLARE_OLC_FUN( classedit_newbiemap);
- introduction of a new imp function - replaychar()
- colour system gets some functions to generate html tables
colour_generate_html_table() etc
- MF battlelag prompt - shows the number of queued commands
- enabled GAMESETMF1_SPELL_ONLEVEL_LEARN_EASIER_IF_ABOVE_SPELL_LEVEL

- enabled GAMESETMF1_ENSURE_HIGH_STRENGTH_ROLLS
- do_gain() shows useful extra info
20:54 31/07/2007 - Kal
- Configure system updated to support IPv6 :)
22:21 31/07/2007 - Kal
- Surrounded visual studio specific #pragmas with #ifdef _MSC_VER instead of
#ifdef WIN32... since they relate to the specific compiler.
- resolver_poll_and_process_WIN32(), cleaned up use of PeekNamedPipe to get
around compiler errors with MinGW
23:42 02/08/2007 - Kal
- removed the manual defining of rename() in db.cpp and save.cpp... this
should be defined in stdio.h.
- various cleanups to make the code compile cleanly in Visual C++ 2005:
- changed order of include files, so wincfg.h is one of the first includes
- wincfg.h defines _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE, _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE and
#ifndef _USE_32BIT_TIME_T if the compiler is visual c++.
- resolve.cpp - now specifies ASCII version of CreateProcessA etc even if
UNICODE is defined
- fixed up some of the cpp files, so either network.h or include.h is always
the first file included.
00:03 03/08/2007 - Kal
- Updated configure.in and makefile.in to work with MinGW and autodetect the
need for ws2_32 lib... also moved $(LIBS) to the end of the linking line
to work around a stupid bug in MinGW
- Added $(LIBS) to resolver linking line so MinGW can link it
