Weekly Update for Sunday, March 30th, 2003

Back to Weekly Updates Back to General Information Back to the Main Index

General News:

• We're currently #2! on TopMUDSites, thanks for voting!
• Two Armageddon people have stories in the MUD-Con Master Storyteller Competition: Barzalene and Kilashi, and both stories kick major butt. You can find the details here
• The APM this year will coincide with Westercon, July 3-6, Seattle. It looks as though there'll be various subgatherings too, including Toronto and DragonCon in Atlanta - if people want to put together pages for those gatherings, I'll be glad to link them in on the community page. -Sanvean
• Mansa has the Toronto page here.

Code News:

• Can eat cures when full (Nessalin)
• Ongoing code additions for changes to brewing (Nessalin)
• Immortal building commands cleaned up a little (Nessalin)
• Falling while nosaved tells you why (Nessalin)
• Draw releases subdued people. Being able to draw while subduing someone was a bug and people were using it to get around not being able to wield weapons while subduing someone. This is now corrected. (Nessalin)
• Cannot get from ground while mounted (Nessalin)
• Elf/desert elf MP bonuses lowered. This is because elves already get a lower cost of movement compared to other races, so they were effectively double dipping. Also movement points are now used for a lot more than movement (the way is a good example) so it wasn't appropriate for them to get such large bonuses. (Nessalin)
• New make flag added for Vendyra (Sanvean)
• Tablelands code update (Sanvean)
• New javascript functionality for scripters (Tenebrius)
