CoffeeMud Version 5.7.7

Released on Aug 31st, 2012

  1. MUDGrinder area editor has easier to manage parent/child areas & subops -- the old multiselect thing was unbearable.
  2. GenBook now uses the Message Maker (from the SHELL command) to add book chapters.
  3. (Internal) Database connections can now be kept alive with pings. See new coffeemud.ini entry: DBPINGINTERVALMINS
  4. Most crafting skills now support a LEARN command to gain the recipes to certain found items.
  5. Players can now spend points to create their new character stats, if you let them. See coffeemud.ini entry: STARTSTAT

  7. Change the items all characters get at creation time with STARTINGITEMS in your coffeemud.ini file
  8. Can now COPY areas

  10. IMPORTANT: previously, mobs would never wander OUT of a room where an admin is -- now they also won't wander INTO a room where an admin is
  11. Construction and Masonry skills now support building stairs to create new floors -- rooms must still be purchased.
  12. Children now inheret the languages of their parents
  13. Players can now sit from a sleeping position (not sure how that got missed).
