CoffeeMud Version 4.6.0

Released on Aug 22, 2004 1:54 AM

1. RESET MOBSTATS is back.
2. Journals will now notify their owners, or those who enter the room (if ungettable) if there are new messages.
3. New Behavior: TargetPlayer (thanks Tulath!)
4. Area-affecting behaviors placed on parent areas will now also affect children areas: Conquerable, Emoters, Arrest, etc included among these.
5. Higher level WIZINV can now see lower level WIZINV when in the same room.
6. CoffeeMud map loads will now be uber faster for rooms with lots of items (player homes, etc)
7. Player Tattoos can now be set to expire.
8. Players about to be purged will get emailed now.
9. Deviations has had a face life (thanks again Tulath!)
10. Whole new class of Grids create: StdThinGrids, and their derivatives, are arbitrarily large Grids whose children are created only when needed and destroyed only when no longer needed. ThinGrids use a lot more CPU to get their work done, but use a LOT less memory. In fact, ThinGrids can be as large as you like without eating another byte. All standard skys and oceans are now ThinGrid derivatives to save space overall.
11. The LINK command can now be used to link directly to and from the children rooms inside of Grids. Grid children are referenced as follows: AreaName#123#(x,y) Where 123 is the room number, and x and y are the coordines of the crid. For instance, link "AreaName#123(1,2) east" will now work to attach a room to a grid child. No MUDGrinder support for this feature, and no CREATE ROOM/CREATE EXIT support.
12. New I3EMAIL INI entry.
13. New Economy controls implemented -- see the new INI entries, as well as the new ShopKeeper fields for more info.
14. As always, lots, and lots, and lots, and lots of bugs fixed!!
