MudGame:
- Finished the Create command. Now allows for creating Realms, Zones and Rooms
- Added LinkRoom command for linking Rooms. Not finished.
- Added Help command. Typing Help prints all of the currently available commands. Typing Help 'CommandName' prints that Commands help property. Default commands print a help document.
- Removed the need for the old CommandResult Type to be a returned value on all commands. Command.Execute() is now just void.
- All commands updated to now return a value. They use player.Send() to direct messages to the player instead.
- Removed CommandClear from the project and made it a script so that developers can see how to write custom command scripts.
- Bug fixes with object saving and restoration
- Game Deconstructor removed.
- Player Password saving, restoring and varification implemented fully.
MudGame:
- Revised scripts to demonstrate the latest environment creation updates.
- Converted all Types from C# types to .NET Types (such as bool changed to Boolean, and int changed to Int32).
- Zone no longer gets saved from within GameWorld.Save, but rather in Realm.Save()
- Room no longer gets saved from within GameWorld.Save(), but rather in Zone.Save();
- Added new SaveWorld command that admins only can execute to force save the world. It's not fully implemented at this time.
MudGame:
- began work on command execution from within the server while it's running.
- Added BaseCharacter.FlushConsole() method. Sends a hex sequence to the clients telnet terminal that clears the screen. If IsMultiplayer=false then it just clears the C# Console.
- Added a 'Clear' command for users to use. It invokes the new FlushConsole command.
- Removed the need for a full file path and filename when calling an objects save method. Now it just needs the path.
- Adjusted the Exit command, Login command and Save command to reflect the objects save parameter changes.

- All objects now reference each other via their filenames rather than their object names. Allows for 3 objects with the name Bedroom to exist, but with different filenames such as Bedroom1, Bedroom2 etc.

- Began work on implementing a Unique Identifier system for all game objects.
- Renamed GetRealm() and GetZone() to GetRealmByID() and GetZoneByID. Now accepts a Int32 instead of a string as the parameter, returning a reference to the object.
- Added GetRealmByName() and GetZoneByName(). Similar to the old GetRealm and GetZone methods. Accepts a string as a parameter, however it returns a list<> collection of the found objects due to objects with duplicate names are allowed to co-exist in the game world.
- Temp directory that was being generated during server startup within Game.Start() is now deleted once script compilation is completed.
- Added GameTime.cs; contains all the properties and methods needed to have a working time system built into the engine for the game world. Not fully complete.
- Added CommandGetTime.cs which prints the current date and time to the players console. Prints the GameTime.DayNames and GameTime.MonthNames to the player. Defaults to real-world names, however these can be configured and changed, along with the number of days per week, weeks per month, months per year, seconds per minute, minutes per hour and hours per day.
MudGame:
- Now supports Game.AutoSave. If AutoSave is true, then the server loop will call Game.Save() automatically.
- Server Game Loop now calls Game.Update() every loop cycle.
- Login command now supports Offline games. Skips various things that are server related only.
- Added a constructor to SaveDataPaths for quickly being able to assign paths.

- CommandLogin no longer invokes the Look Command
- Fixed CommandWalk no longer telling the player an invalid direction message when trying to walk to someplace that does not exist.
- Moved PlayerCollection array referencing from Game.Start() to the Game's constructor so that scripts may change the player class during its startup.
- BaseCharacter now invokes the Look command after Login command is completed.
- ScriptEngine no longer sets the output path for a compiled script if the script is designated as compile to memory.

- BaseCharacter will now send a disconnect message of 'Goodbye!' upon the player being disconnected from the server.
- ScriptEngine.ScriptPath now returns a absolute path.

- Custom Game Types are now supported. Only 1 Type may inherit from MudEngine.GameManagement.Game at a time. To use, create a file, write a script that inherits from Game and run the server.
- ScriptEngine.GetObjectOf(string) method adding. Returns a object that inherits from the Type supplied in the parameter.
- Deleted StartupObject.cs
- Deleted Startup.dat
MudOfflineExample:
- Updated to reflect the TimeOfDayOptions change in MudEngine.csproj
MudServer:
- Added MyGame.cs inside Debug/bin/scripts. This is a example script showing how to inherit from Game and write a custom Game Type. This Type is used when the Server runs rather than the Engine Game Type.
- Server startup re-wrote to compile scripts during startup, scan them via the script engine for any custom Types that inherit from Game, and use the if needed instead of the default Engine Type.
- Server now uses a Settings.ini file to allow configuration of the Script Engine by users. Provides them the ability to now customize where scripts are stored and their file extension.
- Deleted Scripts.dll, as the Server now generates one at runtime each time it is ran.
As of this commit, users will not need to use C# to compile their MUD's any longer. Compile the Server and run it. Scripts are now fully implemented (however not fully tested).

- BaseCharacter.Send() checks if the game is multi-player or not. If it is, it prints to Console, if not then prints to telnet clients.
Mud Offline Example:
- Updated Zeroth Realm creation to use Room.DetailDescription now that the Look command supports it.
- Updated the Game loop. No longer needs to print to the console due to the player.Execute() command automatically printing content to the console.
Mud Server:
- Removed player from server as it was not being used any longer.
- No longer holds on startup for other Players
- Was crashing when I exited with multiple players because the filename was "", so I uncommented the line making the filename and that did the trick.
- Fix: Does it really save? lol.
- Fix: On startup I get a spam of "Loaded MudDesigner.dll", I'd fix but I don't know where it is o.O
- Fixed command engine stalling when waiting for one users command to finish before starting another users command.
- Commands are loaded into static List collections, but the Execute command itself is now no longer static.

- Fixed up some problems with ReadInput
- Fixed up Disconnect
- Replaced some Log() calls.
- Commented out Initialize on a new thread, will be uncommented when CommandEngine is fixed.
