Up to Main Index Up to Journal for March, 2017 JOURNAL FOR WEDNESDAY 1ST MARCH, 2017 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Public dev branch updated with events, doors and copying DATE: Wed 1 Mar 19:27:45 GMT 2017 Wednesday again and I have just finished the work on doors. I’ve also just pushed quite a large update to the public dev branch. The update includes the work on events, the new copying mechanism and doors. Next on my todo list is packaging everything up for a v0.0.4 release. This comes two months after the v0.0.3 release. If all goes to plan v0.0.4 should be out tomorrow. I’ve already been asked if this release will contain locks for the doors. No it won’t. I still need to implement locks and ‘lids’ — containers that can be opened, closed and locked. However, I had planned on sorting out the zone loading next. Now I’m not so sure… I also need to implement scheduled events for the event package. Someone has also pointed out that there is no way to broadcast messages and send them to all players at once. So many ideas to pick and choose from. I am trying to move towards implementing mobiles — or mobs. Mobiles are non-player people, creatures and critters that move around. They are a big part of giving life to a MUD. To this end I worked on doors first as I knew that would involve code also required for mobiles, but doors were a simpler stepping stone. Anyway, better get back to writing the release notes for v0.0.4 now. -- Diddymus Up to Main Index Up to Journal for March, 2017
