Aardwolf MUD

Reboot Changes - July 14th '03

Some changes by Lasher:

-> There is now an 'INFO PKDEATHS' that will show PK deaths only. You must have this on to see PK deaths. Default is on for new players, but existing players will need to turn it on with 'info pkdeaths'. See 'help info' for details. (Seuss)

*> Added a new roomflag called 'nomagic'. You can pretty much guess what it does. The (new) room S,U,U from recall is a PK room that has this flag enabled. If you get a chance, please test it. Casting/quaffing should be ok, but other more obscure things that cause spells to be cast may still need to be changed. Only use I gave this at the moment is when a war is declared, there is a chance you may get one or two random rooms have the flag (Jeckyl).

*> You can no longer remote social someone who is sleeping as they won't see it anyway. I did not make this change to in-room socials as it seems much more logical to be able to, for example, smile at someone in the same room as you even if they're sleeping. (Meka)

*> Pretitles will now be capitalized. Pretitles can be confusing enough for people new to Aardwolf as it is - having all lowercase pretitles just makes this worse. Read the 'pretitle' helpfile before setting one with a fake first character to avoid the capitalizing.

*> Added a new 'colorset' option for how you see players in the room. Previously, players and mobs were both covered by this setting, now you can have mobs and players show a different color. Default color for players is yellow. One place this does NOT work is lasertag when showing players and decoys. (Dilligaf)

-> Slight shortcut when writing a note, you can now use:

'note write '

Which will put you in note write with the 'to' field already completed. Usual board posting rules still apply. (Cyrandis)

Not too bad for a reboot that wasn't even planned. Have fun...
