Version 1.03r
Written and maintained by Spawn. Copyright (c), all rights reserved.
Version 1.03s
-------------
- Updated the databases for MajorMud 1.11g (Mod 9).
- Fixed a few cases where the hangup-if-naked option would
fail to work because some loyal items were detected.
- Added the current time to some informational messages
to help with PVP, etc.
- MegaMud now resets the ANSI state whenever the session
is disconnected.
- Text such as "You are following a wide path..." should
no longer confuse MegaMud into thinking you are in a party.
- Updated the Bank of Godfrey room definition so that
MM recognises the two-exits version of the room.
- Added an option to turn off the issuing of the 'break'
command when trying to run from PVP/monsters.
- Eliminated some possible ways the remote control
commands can be abused.
- Added path to/from the gold gang house.
- Fixed a bug which caused MegaMud to break sneak when
when it stopped prior to entering a boss room.
- When editing game data, the last edited value is now
remembered. For players, monsters and items, this may
be overridden to the last one seen by your character.
- Added a confirmation message to the drop-all action.
- The 'inventory' which gets issued at the end of a
path loop will now only happen if it has been more than
5 minutes since the last time it was issued. This should
improve the performance of paths which have a small
number of steps.
- Add a 'Supernatural stealth' option to the 'Other' tab
in the settings. Turning this on makes Megamud ignore
the player's stealth stat.
-------------
- Sends 'enter' (not 'e') when entering the game to prevent
flooding the game with 'e's if lag is present.
- Added support for the meditate command (see health settings).
- Remote commands can now be issued via gangpaths
(it wont issue AFK messages though). You can disallow this
via a new option on the 'Talk' settings.
- Added options to the cash settings to discard coins
(for use when scripting chests, etc.)
- Think I've fixed the bug with lock-picking not working.
- Added option to NOT send @panic for leaders.
- Fixed bug with repeated 'equip' commands.
- Added an option to the BBS settings to specify an additional
period of time to wait for laggy connections. This will
hopefully prevent the problems with MegaMud repeating
commands because it thinks it hasnt been done due to timeouts.
- I now show data I have sent in a dark-grey. This is shown
after I have sent it, but before I have received the echo
back from the BBS (which will overwrite it). This will
highlight the delay (lag) on the system, and give you
a more responsive picture of what MegaMud is trying to do.
An option to turn this on/off is available in the Display settings.
- Made a few small improvements to the handling of @comeback.
- Added @deposit-all command.
- Added rooms/paths for the gang houses.
- Fixed bug which was preventing deletion of some monsters/items.
- Added option to allow path step corrections to be made
while moving (must not be AFK). Also added a re-learn option
on the game data rooms list for correcting "known rooms"
which have had their exits altered.
- Updated databases for MajorMud 1.11f
- Now handles the "(Worn)" body type for emblems.
- Allows for chainmail on warlocks.
- Fixed bug which was sometimes not waiting for party members.
- Removed most of the code for converting data files from
older versions. If you are installing this from a really old
version, then set it up from scratch (or install 1.03p).
- The "Clean" button on the monsters game data page should now
work properly.
- Few other small bug fixes.
Version 1.03q
-------------
- To fix up some buggy path files, go to game data, select the
paths tab, and search for "SRSF". Delete every path that it
finds with this match (you only need to do this if installing
over and older version of MegaMud). It may prompt you with
an error message saying two rooms are not used (SRSF and DTSP).
You can safely delete both of these rooms (room NSSF replaces
the old SRSF room).
- If you get killed now, roaming now ceases (regardless of any
other settings). Hopefully this should fix the problem with
people getting killed multiple times. If you have hangup
disabled, it wont hang - but it will still stop going anywhere.
Those wanting it to go back and auto-pickup/equip items and
continue....script a safer area :)
- Priestly healing (prhe) should now work properly as a party
heal command.
- When checking if a wooden skiff is needed, a log raft or silverbark
canoe will also be suitable.
- Required cash for a path can now be up to 9,999,999 copper.
- Fixed a bug introduced in last build which seemed to cause
a crash whenever you attempted to goto a location (mostly
on NT/2000 systems only though).
Version 1.03p
-------------
- Updated database info for 1.11b (I've guessed the friend status
for most of the new monsters (lost my chars, so havent encountered
them yet :). Let me know if any of the mosnters should have
different
default settings.
- Added some new messages for new items/spells, etc.
(I may have missed plenty, so if anyone finds cases like these
where a message should really be added, let me know).
- Jumpkicks with no damage are now considered a miss (any other
cases like this?)
- Added option to backup game data files whenever changes are made.
- When game data files are first loaded, MegaMud verifies the
integrity of the database and prompts you to restore the backup
if any errors are found (use -v on the command line to skip the
verification and speed up the load, slightly).
- If attempting to pick a lock fails 3 times, it will first try
to open the door (it will fail if already unlocked). It then
tries another 3 times, then will try bashing the door 3 times.
- Players should now telepath/say @held, etc. less frequently.
- Added settings for the maximums attempts for bashing a door,
picking a lock or disarming a trap.
- Added paths/rooms for Mod 7 (from Fizban the Fabulous :)
I guess many of the newly added rooms probably need to have the
bank/shop/trainer/stop before entering/hide in goto list options
set correctly (none appear to be set). Can someone let me know
the changes needed?
- Mystic attack accuracy stats should now pick up the misses
properly
(including the two-line 'fist' attacks).
- Fixed the bug relating to the IgnorePoison setting not working
properly.
- Now determines player levels correctly from the new level titles.
- Added 'sys abils' info for Mod 7 quest.
- Added a 'clean' button to the monsters and items list pages
within the game data option. This button will prompt you to
remove any monsters/items not defined within the installed
monsters/items databases.
- Fixed bug with the no. of rooms to run accumulating each time
a monster walks in or you hear movement.
- Aiding players is now only performed for 'friend' players, or
players within your party (before they dropped :).
- When tracking, MegaMud will only move after the target if
you are not 'stop'ed (ie. roaming, looping, etc).
- If player has the required key, it will use it instead of
trying to pick the lock.
- Added option to the party settings to specify the frequency
of the 'par' command.
- I've removed the BOATSILP.MP and SILPBOAT.MP path files from
the installation, but if you install over an existing version,
and use the 'Scan' button, these paths may be re-added (you may
want to delete them from the .\Default directory so that traversal
of the silver river works properly).
- Fixed bug with room conflicts dialog; asking it to delete one of
the rooms will now work properly.
- Added option to not look at any player.
- Fixed bug that was causing MegaMud to get lost whenever it
use the mudop sys goto command.
Version 1.03o
-------------
- Been too busy to do much lately, so only a few small fixes in this
version.
- Added @attack-last remote command.
- Added exp. graph to toolbar.
- Fixed bug which was preventing custom classes from saving the
magic type.
- If you backtrack, and need to sneak, you no longer need to hit
backtrack twice.
- If you are running, and a party members send @wait, combat is now
only temporarily turned on until you start to move again.
- Should no longer re-equip your weapon if you type 'wealth'.
- Fixed bug which was preventing telepathes from sometimes not being
recorded in the conversation window.
- Fixed a bug with picking locks always trying to open them even
when it fails.
- @loop1 was supposed to be written as @looponce in the help files.
- For other bugs with stats not recording due to the new 1.1x combat
messages, can someone email me some examples as my BBS is still on
1.1w.
Version 1.03n
-------------
- Fixed bug which wasnt saving the party window position.
- Fixed a crash in parsing "sys stat room"
- Fixed bug with the no. of players seen being reset all the time.
- Added the @get-all, @drop-all and @equip-all remote control
commands
(must have @do access).
- Fixed up item database with the old locations of where you could
auto-find/buy stuff. Also, added field in game info of who drops
the item (if multiple, just shows first one).
- Fixed bug introduced in 1.03m where it would re-invite party
members
after cleanup unless that had the 'invite if seen' option turned on.
- MegaMud should now do a 'par' after a party heal (so that it
doesnt
keep healing when it doesnt need to, but also it will first re-engage
combat before doing the par, so that it doesnt miss a round on slow
lines).
- Auto-inviting should now get done before combat.
- On spells settings, can specify the minimum mana flux increase.
If the increase is below this, flux is recast. Also, mana regen
rate is now displayed in the status bar.
- Toolbar should now wrap if it gets too wide.
- Added game message for the mispelled "lighting" attack message.
- Added search option to conversation window.

longer
be matched against "roc".
- Added an "Inventory Calculator". Shows possible items you are
"currently" allowed to wear.
- Fixed up prices in the item database.
- Spell database now shows the item which you can learn a spell from
or the item required to cast the spell.
- A party leader will now send "@panic!" if they are about to
teleport
or hang due to low HPs. This allows party followers to do the same
(there is an option to ignore this in the party settings).
- Added a "@home" command to query monster status from a mudop.
- Added settings to Talk settings to disallow @party commands.
- Think I've finally found the bug which was causing MegaMud to
basically lock up when re-connecting with Telnet.
- Added support for new 1.1x combat messages.
- Player info dialog now shows last online and last seen date/times.
- The warning regarding nuke spells when friends are in the room
should no longer scroll constantly.

- Fixed bug which was resetting the position of the tools window.
- Fixed bug which limited auto roam commands to 3 chars.
- Fixed a crash which occurs when using the quick-tools to bash
doors.
- Fixed the bug in the races data which was displaying extra HP's as
255 if it was supposed to be -1.

- Added the @rego remote control command.
- Added the @seen remote control command.

- Added "Pitch black" option to path steps (will cause MegaMud not
to attempt to light the room).
- Added "Disarm Trap" option to path steps (will cause MegaMud to
attempt to disarm the trap in this room).
- Added "Pick Lock" option to path steps (will cause MegaMud to pick
the lock if you dont have a key). If you do have a key, it will
use it instead as it is quicker.
- Added "Dont become medium" option to the cash settings.
- Game data items can now be edited by using the keyboard only.
- Added option to the display settings to allow MegaMud to be
minimized
to the system taskbar status area. All MegaMud instances can be setup
to minimize to this same icon, and right clicking will display a list
of the characters.
- Added the "auto-nuke" option (toggle area effect spells).
- MegaMud will now display a warning and cancel casting area-effect
attack spells when other non-party friends exist within the room.
This does not occur if your PvP mode is set to do nothing.
- Will no longer cast light spell if hiding or sneaking.
- Post-rest command now only done prior to moving/attacking (rather
than post-rest, bless, pre-rest, wait, etc...)
- Auto-dropping items no longer done in all-off mode.
- Responses can now contain multiple parts which MegaMud can
randomly
choose (see help for further info).
- You can now specify the max. no. times to cast for the specific

format.
They now have a lot of the information directly from the WCC databases
for reference purposes.
- When you run somewhere to begin a loop, auto-heal as well as
auto-combat are now re-engaged when the loop starts.
- {pswd} string expansion now only works while logging on.
- If you have auto-combat off, and are sneaking or hiding, items
will
not be auto-equipped if there are monsters in the room (this prevents
MegaMud from breaking you sneak when trying to retrieve items
from a dangerous room).
- There is now a @loop and @looponce command (the later only loops
once
and returns).
- Fixed bug when it lags when entering a vortex and repeats the
command
multipe times.
- Player stats window now shows pre-attack spell statistics.
- Fixed a bug which was not recording some spells in the stats
window.
- Stats window now show statistics for the pre-attack spell.
- Added option to always start MegaMud minimized.
- Many of the game data lists can now be sorted by different
criteria
by clicking on the appropriate column.

displayed in the player game data).
- Specifying an alternate weapon should now work properly.
- @loop should now only report {failed} if it didnt work (used to
always).
- If there is cash and items in a room, "Get All" will now just pick
up the items (often there is a large quantity of cash in the room
which prevents you from picking up items). If there are no items,
"Get All" will pick up the cash.
- Any remote control command containing "reroll" or "suicide" will
now be disallowed.
- Added option to combat settings to not do a BS if the multi-attack
spell would normally be cast.
- Fixed bug where it used to sit trying to exit while being
attacked.

HP's keep falling to zero or negative.
- Added player option to not auto-delete the character if they
havent
been used in a long time.

normal attack spells. It will continue to cast until either the
maximum no. of casts has been reached, or the max. amount of damage
has been done.
- Game data lists changed to use full-row selection (rather than
only
allow clicking of the item in the first column).
allow any item in the li
- Hopefully fixed the bug with it locking up when hitting clear on
the conversations window.

be customised via the monster game data).

- Fixed bug with @kill command.
- @comeback should now be sent if you get disconnect while
following.
- Lots of other minor stuff.
Version 1.03l
-------------
- Minor bug fix release
- Removed debugging info when using forked lightning (whoops :)
- Fixed lockup when trying to modify races/classes
Version 1.03k
-------------
- Functionally not a lot added in this version...mostly bugs fixes
and a few optimizations.
- Fixed bug with trying to pick up coins when full.
- The players and paths databases has now been converted into a
more reliable database format.
- The Record button on the toolbar is now properly enabled.
- Page up/down no longer do an upload/download while in browsing
the back-scroll window.
- ZModem file transfers should now work with Telnet as well.
- Fixed the display of ZModem times.
- @goto now works with the 4-character room code as well.
- The online players, quick tools, player stats, session and time
analysis windows used to be created at startup and hidden when
not in use. These are now only created when needed, thus reducing
memory requirements.
- Added an option to alter the text returned when an invalid remote
control command is received.
- Added option to back-track a step in your current path (useful
for finding where you left someone).
- Added in game data sections for editing race and class details.
These can be left untouched by most people, unless you play on
an edited BBS.
- Added priestly healing spell to game data.
- MegaMud no longer greets players or looks at them in 'All-Off'
mode.
- Fixed bug where rfir and a couple of other spells could sometimes
keep being cast when used as bless spells.
- Fixed some bugs with the sound settings dialog.
- The following is mostly for the techo heads:
- Some people have said casting certain room affect spells, etc. can
crash other players. I havent ever seen this, so I've added some
extra structured exception handling to trap crashes which occur
while parsing incoming lines. If detected, the offending line is
discarded and the program continues on as normal. A message will be
displayed if this occurs, so if it does, could you please email
the details to the support forum so I can track it down.
- Ive also added exception handlers to all the other threads in
MegaMud (forgot the existing handler would only trap crashes
within the main thread). This may explain why some of the
crashes havent written anything to the trace file.
- Ran MegaMud through some extensive memory checking utilities and
fixed up a couple of memory leaks. Nothing appears to be leaking
anymore.
Version 1.03j
-------------
- I am no longer accepting personal emails or registrations (the
volume
of bugs/suggestions etc. was consuming my day, preventing me from
actually working on it). All technical queries can be lodged through
the megamud@ace.net.au listserver or the MajorBBS mail-link forum.
All orders/registration queries are now handled by Gameport (for
details
on the forums or Gameport, see the MegaMud help files). Please do not
consider this unfair, as it was getting to a stage where I couldn't
leave for a weekend without my inbox overflowing, requiring days to
go through tgem all out. Unfortunately this simply takes too long and
grew to a level where is has started to affect both my family life and
interfere with my "real" work (MegaMud's a hobby).
- Registrations are now all done via Gameport (www.mudmarket.com).
The cost has now risen to US $45. If you've ordered through MudMarket,
then this is what it cost anyway. The product has grown substantially
since its initial release, and while the registration cost should now
stay at this figure, I'll hopefully have more time now to concentrate
on the bugs, etc. and improve it considerably. Anyhow, on with the
list of fixes for this version...
- Fixed the bug which made it run away constantly until it fought
something.
- If {target} was used in a message reply, nothing specified
after it was sent out - now fixed.
- MegaMud will now hang if HP's are negative (even if the MudOp
teleport option is used).
- If combat is off, it should no longer attack if following or
manually playing.
- If tracking, and it moves into a room with only two exits, it will
no longer track again, but take the only other exit.
- Not sure if this is right (I'm sure I'll get corrected :), but,
the weapon hit % now doesnt include the extra hits. The extra hit %
is now based as a percentage of the non-extra hits/crits.
- Converted all string copy routines to include a max. length in
the hope to try and track down the wierd numbers which sometimes
appear within the status bar.
- MegaMud should now handle the 'par' listing for players that do
not
have a surname.
- The warning about it being unsafe to connect will no longer be
displayed in the case where the maximum redial attempts has been
exceeded.
- Because of the confusion with the 'Allow hangup when not AFK'
option,
if you have your PvP action set to hangup, a PvP attack will now
always
hang regardless of whether you are AFK or not. To override this, you
may either go into all-off mode, or change your default PvP action.
- If your party member becomes diseased, it will issue a "@diseased"
command which other members should respond by curing you (if
possible).
Also, @blind and @held have also now been added.
Havent been able to test these yet... so let me know :)
- Added a few more toolbar button options which can be added.
- @kill will no longer cause a script to attack someone who is in
either the party or is defined as being a friend.
- Removed the 'auto-learn game data' option as it causes too many
problems within MM if this is turned off.
- @path now shows the number of steps remaining.
- Fixed the bug with it dropping runics for smaller change if
the runic coins are renamed. Also, the "Collect runics" option now
saves properly.
- When bashing, the full direction name is now used (to avoid
accidentally bashing players).
- Added a Goblin Caves loop.
- Added the missing path so you can get back from the Dusty Village.
- Added a player option to not heal/bless (good for witchunters).
- Fixed the bug with the INI Save As... not updating the title bar
to the new name of the INI file.
- Fixed a bug with party healing sometimes not working.
- Session stats now show the number of times a person was
seen (in different rooms).
- The crash when you type "? set" is now fixed.
- Should now only cure (poison) party members after killing all
monsters.
- You will now be confirmed when pressing Cancel on the Game Data
property sheet if any changes have been made.
- Added approx HP min/max ranges calculator to experience calculator
(not sure on formulas yet).
- Reworked the code which controls what needed to be dropped in
exchange
for picking up larger currency. This should now work properly.
- Last but not least, what you've all been hassling me for...file
transfers..well, ZModem at least is now implemented. I've only done
fairly minimal testing of it and it appears to work, but not sure
how it stands up with bad lines, etc. Soon see I suppose, but
tread carefully...
- Next release will be addressing a lot of these wierd database
errors.
- Quite a few other small fixes.
Version 1.03i
-------------
- Merry Christmas! (will be away for a couple of weeks over the
break
so hope this version works, if not, Happy New Year anyway :)
- Local player actions are now recorded in the conversations window.
- Fixed a bug which was preventing @comeback from working.
- Fixed a bug which was causing MM not to attack when it thought you
needed to run, but you werent going anywhere.
- MegaMud now prompts users to delete unused room definitions at
startup.
- Hangup if naked now works if you are carrying only loyal items.
- Fixed another bug which was sometimes preventing game data items
from being properly deleted.
- Loop paths are now grouped the by their starting room group
(like the goto locations).
- Added a minimum healing period to the health settings (applies to
party healing as well).
- Fixed up the logic which used to make MM think it was quicker to
teleport to some wierd places when it actually wasnt.
- You can now use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy/paste from anywhere you
can place the input focus.
- Added a remote @reset command (resets all internal flags and
statistics).
- Couple of other small fixes.
Version 1.03h
-------------
- If MegaMud detects an unknown item in your inventory, it will
first
re-get the inventory to check it wasnt a mistake. This should help
prevent wierd item names getting added.
- Unknown monsters or players will also cause MegaMud to re-check
the room. If same monster/player is seen, then it will be
automatically added. This should prevent attacks on players where
line noise splits a player's name in half (originally causing MM
to think it was an unknown monster).
- Auto buy/sell/withdraw/deposit should now work at any time (even
if
following) if MM is in active mode.
- MegaMud will no longer look at people while hiding.
- Added @party command which can be used in path files to allow
party
members to do commands required to go places (eg. "go hole" on way
to Markus).
- MegaMud will no longer try to party heal or bless members which
have gone missing or hungup.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes a party leader could forget followers
were
still being held. Also, if a leader is running, but a follower has
asked them to wait, then the leader's attack mode is temporarily
turned on while waiting for the follower.
- Party time outs should now work properly.
- Runic name now saves properly.
- When relogging/cleanup, the leader will reset its party timeout
period when it first enters the realm.
- MegaMud should now hide properly while regenning mana/kai.
- Found a potential memory leak which happened whenever MegaMud
loaded a path file. Hopefully this is the cause of the slow machine
degradation problem which some people reported when running multiple
copies of Megamud.
- Pvp spells should now be cast properly.
- Added option to room info to allow rooms to always be shown in the
popup menu of favourite/common rooms (right-click popup).
- Fixed some bugs with running (eg. Newhaven loop kept running
if the no. of rooms to run was set to 1).
- Players without surnames are now handled properly.
- Copy is now Ctrl+C, Paste is Ctrl+V, Capture is Alt+C.
- Orc mansion loop now doesnt go into the warleader room.
- Added loop path for quaggoth area.
- You can now record more than one loop path at the same starting
room.
- Fixed a bug which was sometimes corrupting the players database.
On startup, you may notice a bunch of messages saying some
database entries have been removed. This is MegaMud auto-deleting any
corrupt entries it has found. Hopefully, it should only happen
(if at all) to each data file no more than once.
- Added auto-bless to the toolbar (now seperate from auto-heal).
- Added lowest mana/kai reached in session statistics.
- When modifying an installed default game data item, the default
'Use'
option is now changed to 'only for this character' usage by default.
- When joining a party, then leader's friend status will only be
changed to 'friend' if it was previously set to unknown.
- The list of seen players now shows the date they were
seen/attacked.
- Fixed a bug which was sometimes not reconnecting when the
BBS dropped carrier. MM will now always attempt to reconnect if
disconnected by any means other than one initiated by MegaMud.
- Did some small optimizations which may or may not have noticeably
increased the speed of displaying incoming data :)
- Added a page to the settings to allow customization of the
toolbar.
- @comeback command implemented - sent to leader when follower is
seperated because it cant move (untested yet, let me if it works).
- Timed logoff's now exit properly rather than just hanging.
- Fixed a couple of bugs where runic coin was being used instead
of the custom runic name.
- Party display now show's the players mana or kai and also supports
the extraction of these details from the new party listing in 1.1w.
- The remote control commands can now be used within a path
to control yourself (eg. "@auto-search off", etc.)
- Hopefully bug with saving players should now be better (still
cant work out why its dead-locking).
- While resting, MM should issue stat every two minutes to ensure
its
not waiting on something which has already worn off.
- Now handles monsters suffixed with "(charmed)".
- Fixed a crash which sometimes occurred when telnet disconnected.
- Added a menu/toolbar option to enable/disable haning (useful for
manual play). It overrides all other settings.
- Few other miscellaneous fixes and others I've forgotten to mention
:)
Version 1.03g
-------------
- Fixed a bug which was not recognising logon prompts if the
response
to be given wasnt given on the same line as the prompt (attempted
optimization which failed miserably).
- Fixed bug which sometimes made hangup not work.
- Added a max. hours per day value to the BBS settings
(currently this is only used for displaying the no. of days
to level properly).
- Added party option to attack what your leader is attacking
(turn off to solve some of the problems with partying duegars).
Version 1.03f
-------------
- Blank button on quick-tools turned into search command.
- Added option to ensure sneaking before moving, instead of ignoring
the MajorMud bug which makes you wait a round after killing a monster
before sneak is allowed.
- MM should now BS before casting any multi-attack spells.
- Multi-attack spells should now cast the correct no. of times.
- If the MudOp option to is, MegaMud will use teleporting as
an alternative path when calculating the quickest route
(wont do it if leading party though).
- Fixed bug which was causing players to be considered inactive (and
hence deleted) even when they werent.
- If your character only needs to rest for mana regen, and has
stealth capabilities, it will now hide instead to wait for
mana/kai regen to occur.
- Fixed a bug which was preventing rooms from being deleted.
- Item auto-discard option now works properly.
- Fixed one of the freeze up bugs (namely the one which occurred
when you selected to go somewhere).
- Fixed bug where MegaMud sometimes thought you were in the game
if it saw the HP= prompt in a mail message when logging on.
- Added option to support 2-line broadcast messages.
- If MM gets to the MajorMud menu and ANSI isnt set correctly,
it should now exit and re-issue the ANSI toggle command.
- Temporarily removed checking for the 'xxx' moves to protect 'yyy'
messages (in Duegars, Captains move to protect warriors, which
makes MM think it is attacking the captain). If you break combat,
then re-engage (eg. bless), then it used to re-attack the captain,
causing all of them to attack. I had this in for some reason
(cant remember why now), so hopefully removing it has no adverse
effects. If it does, I'll reverse it back to how it was.
- A special dialog now handles the condition where one room's
internal checksum matches another.
- Fixed a bug which was stopping followers from resting when the
leader rested.
- Changed the statline cmd to issue "set statline full custom xxx"
rather than "set statline custom xxx" (the latter doesnt redisplay
the room when enter is pressed).
- Added tough practice dummy room paths.
- Fixed a whole bunch of small stuff.
Version 1.03e
-------------
- Experience calculator min/min CP ranges now change when the
user selects another race.
- Added option to customize the name of runic currency.
- Attack last should now work if the leader does a area-effect
attack.
- When searching for exits, MM has gone back to redislaying the
room after a failed attempt, to handle the case where another
user could have found it, to stop MM from searching forever.
- Fixed a bug with the conversations window not showing the text
if the time-stamp option was turned off.
- Too avoid the case where MM incorrectly reads low Hp's (possibly
due to data being lost), MM now needs to see the low HP condition
twice before it will hang (the first time, it will try and
re-display the room).
- Added options to items info to auto-open and auto-discard (for
chests).
- Fixed bug with auto-tracking which used to track everyone online.
- Fixed a crash which occurred when importing multiple MP files at
once.
- Added settings page to set custom statline.
- Added middle of path checking algorithm to try and remove the
possibility of MegaMud getting stuck re-syncing between the same
few steps withn a loop.

was corrupting memory (coudl have been the cause of all sorts of
wierd behaviour)

within each character's INI file directory.

window
to be truncated.
- The 'Light Dim Rooms' option now properly works.
- When following, MM now remembers if the leader is resting, and
will re-rest after casting bless spells, etc. even if they are
above their rest threshold setting, so as to not waste rest time.

try and sneak straight away (as it wont be allowed anyway)
until 3-4 seconds later.

- Added new Spells Checklist option.
- Fixed a bug which caused the "Unable to overwrite File, File,

saved properly and also fixed a memory corruption that was
occurring.

dropped.
- Added @path remote command.
- Added menu option to optionally show time stamp in conversations
window.
- Fixed the bug with MM not attacking "nomadic" monsters.
- A pencil icon will now be displayed next to all of the game data
items to highlight entries which have been modified from the
installed defaults.
- Added a 'Do nothing' PvP option (for those on non-pvp boards).
- Fix a bug which was causing MM to stop auto-roaming if HPs went
below the run threshold.

- Searching for exits now doesnt redisplay the room after each
search.

importing custom MegaMud paths or failed to add them.

properly.
- Time displayed in conversations window should now be correct.

- Added option to light lamps, etc. in dimly-lit rooms.
- Added option to hangup if naked.
- Still trying to find bug which sometimes causes it to freeze when
saving players, will upload 1.03c when I figure it out. I realise
there is probably a few others as well, but wanted to upload this
version now to allow people to use their custom pathes.
- Couple of other small fixes.
Version 1.03a
-------------
- NOTE!!!!
As some file formats have changed, and installing 1.03a will
move some files about, I suggest you backup you existing
data files BEFORE installing this version (just in case).
- The MEGAMUD.BBS file has now been split up into seperate INI
files for each BBS. Each BBS is now stored in a
- Character INI files are now stored in the

not
spoken to the room.

status
window when de-activated or minimized. Double-clicking one of these
party windows will restore its main terminal window.

properly.
- Fixed a crash which used to occur when hanging up due to low HPs.
- Will no longer auto-track when the "all off" button is depressed.

this will cause PvP to occur only if within the specified range.

Game data/Paths option. MegaMud no longer searches the Paths
directory, but loads the PATHS.MD file instead.
- Path files now store the starting and ending room code/group/name
within the path file. Adding a new path will cause the proper
room definition to be automatically added now. For any custom
paths that you wish to distribute to other users, re-save them
before handing them out.
- Added option to comms settings to disable the modem
initialization
before re-dialing.
