- Say command no longer invokes the player.executecommand() method as having the server force player execution of a command messes up their Command Input on the terminal client.
Now the command instances a new working copy of what ever command it needs to execute and will execute the command directly from within itself.
Note: All scripted commands and engine Types need to be updated to do this in the future.
- Create command script now writes to the Log file everytime a Admin creates an environment object.
- Added a List command script that now lists all environment objects created.
* Example: List Realms
This will list all of the Realms in the game world.
* Example: List MyRealm>Zones
This will list all of the Zones within the MyRealm Realm object.
* Example: List MyRealm>Rooms
This will list all of the Rooms from every Zone within the MyRealm object.
* Example: List MyRealm>MyZone>Rooms
This will list all of the Rooms that are within the MyZone object contained within the MyRealm object.
* Example: List Players
This will list all created players, regardless if they are logged into the server or not.
- 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.
- Added FileManager.GetDataSpan() method. This allows developers to start at a line and collect the next 'x' number of lines after that starting line.
Example: GetDataSpan("MyFile.txt", 5, "DoorwayArrivalRoom", true);
This seeks MyFile.txt until it finds "DoorwayArrivalRoom" and then it stores that line and the next 4 lines for a total of 5 lines and returns the collection.
The last argument 'true' means that the method will scan the rest of the file after the initial 5 lines and add any other lines that match the "DoorwayArrivalRoom" string as well.
- Deleted CommandResults class as it's no longer used by the script engine.
- Singleplayer and Multiplayer save data paths are now the same paths by default.
- Game.Update() method now checks for auto-saving (instead of MudGame performing this check)
- Saving and restoring of Realms, Zones, Rooms and Doorways now fully implemented.
- GameTime now supports auto-saving
- GameWorld.Update() now calls BaseCharacter.Update() and is ready for future update code.
- GameWorld.AddObject and GameWorld.RemoveObject() have been removed.
- GameWorld.AddRealm() re-added for adding Realms pre-populated with zones/rooms. Note that Zones and Rooms can be added to a Realm even after it has been added to the GameWorld.RealmCollection
- BaseObject now contains a OnStart() event method.
- BaseObject.Save() now saves BaseObject.DetailedDescription collection content.
- Updated BaseCharacter to retrieve Environments by Filename rather than Object name.
- BaseStats.Experience property added.
- Door.RoomTravelType enum added for determining if the room is Arrival or Departure
- Door.SetRoom() method added for restoring a Rooms Doorway link during world restoration.
- Renamed Room.InstallPath to Room.RoomLocation. Contains a MyRealm.Realm>MyZone.Zone>MyRoom.Room path
- Added Room.RoomLocationWithoutExtension property for returning the Rooms location without file extensions. Ex: MyRealm>MyZone>MyRoom
- Room now saves Doorways.
- The GameWorld now restores the link between Rooms once all Environment objects have been instanced and restored from their saved state.
MudGame:
- Minor clean-up with MudGame loop and shutdown.
- Updated scripts to reflect changes made to the engine.
- 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.
- GameWorld.AddRealm() method replaced with GameWorld.AddObject(). It accepts any Type passed to it. You can now supply a Zone to it (provided the Zone.Realm property is set first) and the method will add the Zone into the appropriate Realm for you.
- Began converting certain enumerated items to LINQ
MudGame:
- Updated scripts to reflect the GameWorld changes.
- 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.
