Up to Main Index Up to Journal for October, 2018 JOURNAL FOR TUESDAY 30TH OCTOBER, 2018 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: More last minute minor fixes and updates DATE: Tue 30 Oct 22:27:45 GMT 2018 A few more last minute fixes and changes have just hit the public dev branch. It turns out that if you specify the SAVE command as an action in OnAction it causes a runtime panic. That is, this will cause a panic: Action: AFTER→30s JITTER→30s OnAction: SAVE Not sure why you would try and do that, but it’s now fixed. Fixed a nil pointer bug in Alias.SetParent which could cause a runtime panic. Players now have an alias of PLAYER associated with them. This means that you can now have OnAction commands such as: Action: AFTER→30s JITTER→30s OnAction: EXAMINE PLAYER The EXAMINE command has had three updates. It now uppercases the first letter of the name of the thing being examined. If another player is examined they now become the participant in the command, and will see a message like: Diddymus studies you. The SAY command no longer stops processing if there is no other player in the current location to talk to. People in other locations will now here someone talking nearby, even if they are talking to themselves. Added VETO as an alias of VETOES. You can use either Veto or Vetoes in zone files as appropriate. I’ve also updated the zone documentation to include VETO/VETOES, ALIAS/ALIASES and EXIT/EXITS. Zone files have been updated to use VETO where only one is defined. Added more critters to the zinara.wrj zone file. The giant spider and street vendor are now back. If anyone finds, or thinks they find, any problems at all then please let me know! diddymus@wolfmud.org Otherwise, all of these changes will make it into v0.0.11 on Halloween. Tomorrow is Halloween… /\oo/\ -- Diddymus Up to Main Index Up to Journal for October, 2018
