                  JOURNAL FOR WEDNESDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER, 2013
______________________________________________________________________________

SUBJECT: Loader rework finished and pushed out!
   DATE: Wed 18 Sep 23:53:24 BST 2013

It's WolfMUD Wednesday again ;)

Just pushed out the reworked loader changes to the public dev branch - Yay!

The loader is now general and does not import any entities package. You can
also load player recordjar files with items - if you look at the commit
messages there is an example of loading a player that has a sausage in their
inventory - so now they can't say they are carrying nothing, not a sausage ;)

Do heed the big warning in commit ca38ebc:

                               +++ WARNING +++
  THIS COMMIT REQUIRES PLAYER FILES TO BE MODIFIED TO INCLUDE A REF AND TYPE
   ATTRIBUTE - IF YOU DO NOT ADD THESE ATTRIBUTES THERE SERVER WILL PANIC!
                               +++ WARNING +++

So in your existing player files just add:

   Ref: Player
  Type: Player

The commit contains a complete example. The panic should be fixed soon and I
need to document a lot of the new source code.
