- Added new Project. Mud Designer project will include the GUI elements needed for graphically building a MUD. Due to Environment creation being finalized, work on a GUI based Environment creation can start.
Mud Engine:
- Objects no longer require a path to be supplied when calling Object.Save()
- EditRealm command now edits senses.
- EditRoom now fully supports creating doorways, however editing existing doorways and linking to existing rooms is not implemented. This command only supports creating new doorways for non-existing Rooms (Rooms are generated as needed)
- EditZone Now fully supports senses and implemented.
- Game now supports loading of .ini files when calling Game.Load()
- All objects now include a SavePath properties. Override this to supply a path for where the object needs to be saved. All Environment and BaseCharacter objects override the BaseObject.SavePath to save into ActiveGame.DataPaths.Environemnts and Players respectively.
- ObjectCollection now instanced during ScriptEngine initialization to prevent exceptions during runtime.
- Create command no longer converts all names to lower case.
- Updated the Walk command to execute the Look command in a safe manor without injecting a command into the player Telnet console.
- Improvements to the EditRealm command. Bug fixes and tweaks
- EditRealm command now updates All Zones and Rooms within other Realms when its Realm.name is changed instead of only child Zones/Rooms.
- Realms, Zones and Rooms will now append a file extension if no file extension is supplied during GetRealm(), GetZone() and GetRoom() method invokes.
- Realm.InitialZone is no longer read-only
- Zone.InitialRoom is no longer read-only.
- Added EditZone command. Allows for editing pre-existing Zones. Zones can be created via the Create command.
- Added EditRoom command. Allows for editing pre-existing Rooms. Rooms can be created via the Create command.
MudGame:
- Re-organized the Scripts directory. All Admin commands are now placed within a 'AdminCommands' folder while the player based commands are in a 'PlayerCommands' folder. All remaining scripts reside within the Scripts root folder.
- Moved List command out of the engine and into the MudGame as a script.
MudGame:
- Migrated List command from engine to game script.
- List command now supports 'List Commands'. It will now print all commands for admins, and only non-admin commands for non-admin players.
- Added CreateRoom scripted command for instantly creating Rooms without needing to fully qualify a path. The Room will be created in the Admin's current Realm>Zone.
In order to create a Room outside of their current Zone they will need to use the standard 'Create' command and supply a fully qualified name such as 'MyRealm>MyZone>MyRoom'
- Fixed FileManager.GetDataSpan Index out of bounds exception.
- Game.Save no long invokes the BaseCharacter.ExecuteCommand("Save"); rather it now just directly invokes BaseCharacter.Save(). This fixes the client typing bug where a new command line was printed to the screen everytime the game world saved.
- GameWorld now supports storing and saving dynamically created Realms.
- Renamed BaseCharacter.GetRoomByFilename() to just GetRoom() as all Get() named Methods require a filename.
- Optimized the loading and saving of Realms, Zones and Rooms some.
- Room now Loads and Saves the RoomLocation property instead of the Room's Zone and Realm properties individually.
- GameWorld.GetRealm(), Realm.GetZone() and Zone.GetRoom() now perform case-insensitive checking when scanning for content.
MudGame:
- Re-wrote the 'Create' command script from the ground up. 50% less code and much better approach to creating content. Now to create content you will use the same formatting as the Room.RoomLocation property.
Example: Creating a Realm is done with 'Create MyRealm'
Example: Creating a Zone is done with 'Create MyRealm>MyZone'
Example: Creating a Room is done with 'Create MyRealm>MyZone>MyRoom'
If the Realm or Zone does not exist when creating a Room or Zone, then the parent will be created automatically for you.
- Fixed a bug in the WorldCalifornia script were it was saving the Hallway Room with a Zone file extension, preventing it from working correctly during restoration.
- Deleted the following commands from the engine:
Exit, GetTime, LinkRoom, Load, Look, Save and Walk.
These are now part of the MudGame script library.
- Revised all of the Commands prior to moving them to the Script Library. They are now very well commented.
- Optimized the player login code.
- All commands now support the Help command.
- Game now has a MinimumPasswordSize property for setting the required minimum characters for a players password.
- System.Linq and System.Text using statements added to scripts when they are compiled. Script writers no longer need to type out the fully qualified name of a Type within those namespaces.
MudGame:
- Added the following commands to the script library:
Exit, GetTime, LinkRoom, Load, Look, Save, Walk.
- Added 76 lines of comments to WorldCalifornia to better help new users understand how to create their game worlds via script.
- The Clear, Help, Say and Create commands have been given better commenting.
- Existing scripts have been given some better optimizations.
- All commands are now required to have a Help property.
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.
- Script Engine now compiles scripts as C# 4.0 Types instead of 3.5. Scripts can now use Dynamic Types.
MudGame:
- CommandCreate script added. Provides Admins the ability to create Realms and Zones from within the game during runtime. At the moment Realm creation and Zone creation (and placement within Realms) is implemented.
- Fixed the ScriptEngine and CommandEngine not loading Custom game commands from scripts.
- BaseCharacter's Create, Initialize, Send and FlushConsole are now overridable via scripts.
- Invalid commands are now printed to the player "Invalid Command."
MudGame:
- Added CommandSay script that adds primitive chatting support. Only players within the same Room can see the messages.
- Renamed California script to WorldCalifornia
- Renamed MyGame script to EarthGame.
- Added Clear command script for and Say command script for showing how to build custom commands for use with the game. The commands can only be added server-side, but used client-side.
Run the Game once, then edit the Settings.ini file generated to enable or disable the network server. Setting ServerEnabled to False will enable the Singleplayer offline mode within the engine.
