*** 1,3 ****
--- 1,91 ----
+ ---- 2.0r29 --- 
+ - Fixed finger daemon to not display ip addresses to players.
+ - The verb copy now handles relative paths more gracefully.
+ - LIB_TEACHER can now know all languages with SetAllLanguages(1)
+ - Standard chairs and beds can no longer be taken when someone is using them.
+ - Fixed church elevator buttons.
+ - Fixed problem with "look at pile".
+ - Fixed problem with examining objects on surfaces.
+ - It is now also possible to look at things carried by others, 
+   e.g. "look at shirt on fighter".
+ - Remote finger no longer betrays invisible people.
+ - Added sefun: alpha_strip
+ - Room descriptions now indicate which piece of furniture a creature
+   is resting on, if applicable.
+ - Objects on surfaces than can be sat or lain in are not visible
+   or accessible if someone is lying or sitting on that surface. e.g.,
+   you can't examine or get the glasses under your butt on the chair.
+ - SetMaxHealthPoints now works as one would expect. The kitchen rat
+   is invincible no more.
+ - Look at <container> problem fixed.
+ - Bank tellers (Zoe) now do a better job of retaining the correct
+   surcharge on currency withdrawals.
+ - Added /secure/obj/glasses.c as a creation object. Since you wear them,
+   it's hard to lose them accidentally. Since few things are called "glasses",
+   they won't get in the way of creating objects. New creators will have them
+   automatically added to the table in their sample room.
+ - One may now have a smiley in front of a channel message without
+   it turning into an emote.
+ - Fixed a conflict in the parsing system.
+ - Verbified "force".
+ - Fixed vendor bugs: appraising at zero, confusion with similar items.
+ - Beefed up the answers_to sefun, to handle adjectives.
+ - Fixed a couple of bugs in the lead/follow system.
+ - Fixed null error when selling to non-vendors.
+ - Fixed a channel log bug that logged to one of two files for
+   some channels, depending on whether someone was logged on (!!).
+ - Fixed bug in meals that prevented empty bottles replacing
+   full ones.
+ - Fixed a bug in the MudOS parser that screwed up things with apostrophes.
+ 
+ ---- 2.0r28 --- 
+ - Fixed minor bug in body.c that interfered with collapsing.
+ - Fixed message boards.
+ - Added command: snoopreport
+ - Fixed bug that caused players to be essentially immortal.
+ - Player death history is now accurately recorded.
+ - The command mudlist now ignores colors.
+ 
+ ---- 2.0r27 --- 
+ - Fixed currency problem in dying NPC's.
+ - Added commands: env, polyglottize
+ - Fixed "about" verb.
+ - Tweaked snoop daemon and snoop objects.
+ - Added pay-for-lessons feature in language teachers.
+ - Fixed bug in LIB_EXITS that hosed various things,
+   including wandering NPC's.
+ - mv command no longer overwrites an existing destination file.
+ - Fixed campus rooms with hosed CanReceive()'s that horked logins.
+ - Turned "move" command into "transfer", to address a conflict with
+   the "move" verb. - Fixed bug in admintool that prevented assistant admins from
+   using it.
+ - Fixed bug in eval that prevented assistant admins from using it.
+ - i3router: dynamic channel data is now persistent (newly created   
+   channels won't disappear when the router resets).
+ - i3router: fixed a bug in chanlist-reply that stopped the   
+   channel list being sent to LPUni lib muds.
+ - Modified install process to handle compiling on Wolfpaw servers.
+ - Added code example domain that was donated by Daelas @ Moraelinost.
+ - Added new podium, conference room, and margins command that were
+   donated by Daelas @ Moraelinost.
+ - i3router: correct password is now honored.
+ - Fixed help daemon bug that displayed race help twice.
+ - QCS: creating an enter no longer wipes exits from an existing
+   target room.
+ - Fixed bug in rescue login (Thanks, Nulvect).
+ - Fixed bug in tell command that mishandled mud name ambiguity.
+ - Fixed bug in CHAT_D that failed to return remote channel listeners.
+ - i3router: fixed bug that incorrectly rejected targeted emotes.
+ - Killing a creature super-ultra-extremely fast no longer
+   generates multiple corpses. 
+ - QCS: Fixed some money problems with both how much things cost and
+   how much money they have.
+ - Modified encumbrance to be rather less cumbersome.
+ - Mailer default behavior now is to notify you when you receive new   
+   mail. Already created characters do not have this default.
+ - Fixed opacity problem in worn storage.
+ - Fixed message board in arch room.
+ 
  ---- 2.0r26 ---
  - Plugged some serious security holes ( http://dead-souls.net/news.html#16jun06 )
  - Cleaned up some unnecessary call_outs in lib objects.

+ For example, rather than type out "get all from corpse" you
+ can create this alias:
+ 
+ %^GREEN%^alias gc get all from corpse%^RESET%^
+ 
+ And all you need do is type "gc" to get the same effect.
+ You can also use a wildcard, like this:

+ %^GREEN%^alias gc get all from $* corpse%^RESET%^
+ 
+ So that typing: %^GREEN%^gc first%^RESET%^

+     Channels are an out-of-character (OOC) means for users
+ to communicate with each other. You may hear the terms 
+ "channel" and "line" used interchangeably.
+ 
+     There are two main types of channels: local and intermud.
+ The default Dead Souls distribution uses these channels as
+ local:
+ 
+ cre - only creators hear this
+ gossip - general offtopic stuff
+ newbie - everyone can hear this unless they turn it off
+ thief - channel for the thief class
+ fighter - channel for the fighter class
+ error - system errors
+ death - death announcements
+ mage - channel for the thief class
+ priest - channel for the thief class
+ explorer - channel for the thief class
+ admin - only admins hear this
+ 
+ The following are intermud channels:
+ 
+ ds - Dead Souls mud code talk
+ ds_test - testing testing 1, 2, 3, etc
+ intergossip - general offtopic stuff
+ lpuni - LPUniversity discussion
+ intercre - general technical chatter
+ 
+ 
+ By default, players do not have access to intermud channels.
+ Mud admins are asked to maintain some level of adherence to
+ the channel topics from their users. Muds that violate the
+ router admin's interpretation of "on-topic" will be asked 
+ politely, if possible, to conform to the channel standards.
+ 
+ Continued violations subject the offending mud to potential
+ banning.
+ 
+ Hate speech is not tolerated, and flaming is frowned
+ upon, though each mud is expected to police itself and
+ enforce these standards on their own.
+ 
+ If you don't like these rules, use a router other than the default.
+ 
+ For local channels of course, none of this applies. Whatever
+ local rules are in place, that's what must be obeyed.
+ 
+ Some tips:
+ ---------
+ To turn on/off a channel, type its name by itself, like this: newbie
+ 
+ To know who is listening to a channel: list newbie
+ 
+ To see a brief history of channel messages: hist newbie

+ exroom2b: inherits exroom2 and adds nothing to object_entered (but you'll

+     // With any mapping, when you set a value for a key that already exists 
+     //   the mapping replaces the old one with the new; if that key does

+  *
+  * $Id: stargate.c,v 1.1 2006/04/05 05:48:39 jam Exp $
+  *
+  * The desired functionality is much like a "star gate": users dialed
+  * letters or full words that lined up with destinations.  A portal opens to
+  * that destination briefly.  To define destinations you must setup a
+  * constant below then add it to the switch statement in the cmdDial
+  * function.  This object is crude and basic, but gets the job done.
+  *
+  * 2006-03-22, jonez
+  *   - original version of this file is from Daelas@Moraelinost
+  * 2006-03-23, jonez
+  *   - altered so code uses existing verbs (touch, enter) where possible. last add_action is for dial command.
+  *   - added single mapping called "database" and made the "dial" command use it. 
+  *   - dial command no longer uses switch/case, making adding a new destination simpler
+  *   - made use of SetPreventGet() / SetPreventPut()
+  *   - made use of new stargate daemon
+  *   - made use of LIB_STARGATE
+  *   - made use of STARGATE_D
+  *
+  * IDEAS:
+  *  - create a daemon that holds the stargate network [DONE]
+  *  - allow for stargate failure
+  *  - add dhd object
+  *  - change the code so that it uses a single mapping of names and
+  *    destinations, perhaps in a database file. currently an update to the
+  *    object requires an update for all the objects. [DONE]
+  *  - dhd skill (thanks plato)
+  *  - delay when dialing gate. destination dhd lights up?
+  *  - player should not be able to dial earth if earth is already connected elsewhere (need daemon) [DONE]
+  *  - make use of existing verbs (enter, touch) instead of doing our own thing. [DONE]
+  *  - daemon should contain a class that maps the various gates to each other. see lib/include/door.h [DONE]
+  *  - shout "off world activation" into the gateroom when the gate engages.

+ Cratylus@Dead Souls <ds> but let me give you a quick outline
+ Cratylus@Dead Souls <ds> i type dial thing
+ Cratylus@Dead Souls <ds> the thing inherits LIB_DIAL
+ Cratylus@Dead Souls <ds> which is in /lib/events/dial.c
+ Cratylus@Dead Souls <ds> and all that contains is like direct_dial_ob() return 1; this kind of thing
+ Cratylus@Dead Souls <ds> take a look at LIB_TURN
+ Cratylus@Dead Souls <ds> what LIB_DIAL does is provide the object with hooks, so it *can* be dialed
+ Cratylus@Dead Souls <ds> so, when i type dial thing, the thing goes, yeah i
+     can be dialed, and then the parser enters the can_dial and do_dial funcs
+     in the verb
+ Cratylus@Dead Souls <ds> tellya what. i'd like to work with you on this one. i think it's less straightforward than it
+     seems, and i need to test some ideas before i can say "do it this way"

+ <body>
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">tacitus - 2006/06/17 05:48&nbsp; </span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">I'm all for healthy competition
+ and needling each other. I think</span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">anyone who knows me knows I'm
+ anything but thin-skinned.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">I enjoy a good romp either on gjs
+ or on justrage, or whatever.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">This thing, though, crossed the
+ line between rough play</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">and actual harm.</span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">I figured Tacitus would be
+ insufferably smug if he found</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">the bug he was looking for, but I
+ figured that was a small</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">price to pay for getting help
+ securing DS. What I did</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">not count on was him taking it
+ upon himself to delete</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">log files.</span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">This is a serious problem,
+ because he was messing with</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">security, and if I can't tell
+ what he did, I have to</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">stop everything and reconstruct
+ the events by hand.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">Whether it was malicious is
+ actually beside the point.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">Either he's untrustworthy because
+ he was concealing bad</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">behavior, or he's untrustworthy
+ because he doesn't know</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">better than to tromp around
+ someone's logs as he pleases,</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">without so much as a hint of his
+ intentions to the</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">owner.</span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">Either way, it was a breach of
+ trust I did not expect</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">from someone I've been supporting
+ as a leader in the</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">community.</span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">I've been granted guest creator
+ and sometimes even guest</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">admin privileges on other
+ people's muds, and I have</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">never done anything but exactly
+ what I've announced</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">and only with permission, because
+ it's not my mud</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">and I understand that. This is
+ basic. It's obvious.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">In someone else's house, you ask
+ before you perform</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">potentially irreversible changes,
+ or you can just</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">consider yourself a boor.</span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">So there's that.</span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">According to Tacitus he attempted
+ to delete logs without</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">asking permission out of a
+ concern that other people</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">might happen upon them and learn
+ the exploit. Aside</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">from the obvious objection that
+ he could have just</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">told me so I could decide for
+ myself, is the bizarre</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">fact that he went on gjs
+ intergossip to announce there</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">his achievement, and allowed
+ thespread of information about how</span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">he did it. Any casual reader of
+ the gjs i3 log is</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">now in full possession of all the
+ details needed to</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">compromise a Dead Souls mud, if
+ given Creator status.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">How this squares with his stated
+ intention of protecting</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">the community by deleting my logs
+ I can't say.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">There are some folks out there
+ who find exploits in</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">commercial software, and share
+ the information</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">with the public in an attempt to
+ help people get</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">ahead of the curve. Even assuming
+ this is not</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">dangerous, it is common for
+ professional, responsible</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">programmers who find serious
+ flaws to give the</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">manufacturer a few days or weeks
+ to develop a</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">patch before outing the info. As
+ a colleague, this</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">is the least I would have
+ expected.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">Instead I'm now spending what
+ little of the weekend</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">I had for myself reconstructing
+ free space to</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">find potentially deleted files,
+ and exhaustively</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">nailing down each exploit and
+ subexploit related to</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">this incident. Just because
+ Tacitus couldn't contain</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">his glee and pride at rooting me,
+ and couldn't</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">give me a couple of days to deal
+ with it</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">in a more deliberate and measured
+ way.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">Well, Tacitus, you win. The big
+ bad Dead Souls</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">juggernaut had feet of clay,
+ after all.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">However, you've lost any trust I
+ had in you, any</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">good will. Maybe it will change,
+ but at the moment</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">I just don't see myself feeling
+ up to dealing</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">with you. You didn't have to do
+ it this way.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">I hope the schadenfreude was
+ worth it.</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">When you came back from watching
+ your</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">movie, this was your message:</span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">Tacitus@TimMUD
+ &lt;intergossip&gt; How is that audit coming?</span><br

+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">I think Cratylus made some very
+ valid points however I think we all know that I wasn't trying to be
+ malicious - I was simply excited by my discovery. Furthermore, you told
+ me you were snooping and then I paged the log file and then proceeded
+ to delete (However, either the access file hadn't reparsed or you had
+ already removed me from the arch group so it failed) the log file that
+ contained the commands (eval and call logs) I used to find the exploit.
+ From today's events, I can only conclude we didn't truly realize the
+ lack of trust we had in each other in the first place or you are trying
+ to use this as some sort of publicity stunt.</span><br
+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">As for the information being
+ released on intermud, I did not release the information directly.
+ Rather Duuk was cleaver enough to pry enough out of him to figure it
+ out on his own and then proceed to make fun of you - I can see how your

+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">watching you. While you were

+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">in the middle of helping Samael.
+ That was the level of</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">trust I had in you. When you
+ started crowing about your</span><br style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">success, I started snooping you,

+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">to delete logs. You can imagine

+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">that you were admin, were

+  style="font-family: monospace;">
+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">and I didn't know what you'd do

+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">and locked the mud, but alas,

+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">an elder, so you recreated your

+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">in. Not knowing what you *had*

+ <span style="font-family: monospace;">to do, I killed the mud process,

+  style="font-weight: bold;">Patches?!?<br></big></big></big><font
+  size="+1"><span class="sb_messagebody"><br><br>For the impatient, you may skip down to the "Summary"<br>section at the bottom of this post.<br><br><br><span
+  style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">The Disclaimer</span><br>The first thing to understand is that I don't profit<br>from DS, and I'm the only guy developing the core lib.<br>I'm not saying this because I want sympathy. I'm<br>saying it because this makes me have a very tight<br>focus on what I can and can't do within the short<br>time I've been granted here on Earth.<br><br>My goal is to make Dead Souls the best, most kick-ass<br>LPC lib ever. I interpret this to mean that when I<br>see a flaw, or someone else points one out, I want<br>it fixed. And, well, the fixing falls to me.<br><br><br><span
+  style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">The History</span><br>Over the past year, what this has meant is that I<br>fix a given version, and after a while of fixes<br>accumulating, I declare it to be a new release and<br>off it goes, into the world. At first this caused a<br>lot of grumbling, because it meant people had to<br>reinstall from scratch every time I made a release,<br>and this was a bit much for many people.<br><br>It occurred to me that I could compile a package that<br>had only the files that changed between releases. I<br>put this together, and people seemed to really like<br>being able to upgrade from one release to another,<br>without a full reinstall. Over time, this system<br>has been tweaked and refined somewhat, but in the<br>end, it's roughly the same type of thing it was back<br>when I produced the first one: a bunch of files.<br><br><br><span
+  style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">The Mechanics</span><br>The patching process is just as primitive as it<br>sounds. You uncompress these files and copy them<br>over your existing mud. Simple. Efficient.<br><br>Player files, directories, and domains that are<br>created by you are left untouched.<br><br>For some people this system is problematic. Some folks<br>are proficient at modifying lib code, and if they<br>just overwrite their mud with the contents of a patch,<br>they might find that their lib work has been clobbered. This<br>would be bad. That is why my patch instructions<br>strenuously remind people to back up the current mud<br>before patching it.<br><br>There is no practical solution for this problem that<br>I can see. Because I am just one guy, and my goal<br>is lib code, and not patch-process-design, I have<br>decided to leave things as they are. In theory I could<br>write code that would analyze and modify files as<br>needed, rather than simply have the owner overwrite.<br>However, this is a lot more complicated than it sounds<br>to implement in LPC within the lib, and it is also<br>non-trivial to implement this at the OS level, given<br>that the process would have to work on multiple different<br>platforms.<br><br>It's my opinion that people sophisticated enough to<br>need a more specialized patching system are<br>sophisticated enough to work around my shortcomings<br>in this area. Indeed, I've heard of folks who just<br>download the complete new version, run diffs against the<br>old one, and then pick and choose what to add.<br><br>For now and the foreseeable future, upgrades are just<br>a Big Dumb Ball of Files...with one exception.<br><br>Each patch includes a file called /secure/daemon/update.c<br>which carries out special functions that are not dealt<br>with by just overwriting files. When you reboot the mud,<br>update.c will do things like remove broken/dangerous files,<br>rename files with incorrect names, and modify text in<br>files (such as config.h) which should not be overwritten<br>but need to be changed.<br><br><br><span
+  style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">The Philosophy and Controversy</span><br>Believe it or not, I've had people become irrationally<br>angry at how often I make releases. Not just "That darn<br>Crat is driving me crazy", but actual, unhinged flaming<br>well beyond any reasonable context.<br><br>Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself:<br><br><a
+  href="http://www.justrage.com/article.php?story=cratylus_dead_souls_mudlib">http://www.justrage.com/article.php?story=cratylus_dead_souls_mudlib</a><br><br><br>It *is* true that I'm averaging a release every week<br>or two. The person is correct in that there are a lot<br>of bugs to fix, and that releases happen much, much<br>more often than they do for other muds.<br><br>I have no defense against this charge. All I can do<br>is explain the reason for it, and hope it is justification<br>enough.<br><br>When someone tells me Dead Souls has a bug, I want to<br>help them. I want to fix it. I feel responsible to the<br>mud community to do what I can to fix whatever problems<br>they've run into because they've adopted the lib I<br>wanted them to. This is probably irrational on my part,<br>and if I'm lucky, I'll stop feeling this way sometime<br>soon. But until I do, I feel driven to be a responsive<br>lib coder, and I fix stuff. And I release it.<br><br>The question is, "If Dead Souls is so lame it needs<br>constant patching, shouldn't you kill it?"<br><br>The thing is, Dead Souls is the best LPmud lib out<br>there that I know of, *right now*. If the standard is<br>going to be perfection, then there's no lib out there<br>that should be available. There's no LPC mudlib<br>out there that you can download that is as featured,<br>solid, widely adopted, and supported as Dead Souls. If<br>the criteria for killing a lib is that it's not<br>perfect, and if Dead Souls is among the libs to be killed,<br>then just about everything needs a good flush.<br><br>It should be noted that Dead Souls doesn't *need*<br>constant patching. With the exception of security<br>fixes, any patch, upgrade, or hotfix is entirely<br>optional. You can stop patching and upgrading at<br>any time, and strike out in your own direction with<br>the lib. And as a matter of fact, I'd be tickled<br>pink if you did. The sprouting of evolutionary branches<br>off Dead Souls would delight me, because it would be<br>good evidence that I have begun something that's<br>going to continue beyond what I've done with my own<br>little brain.<br><br><br><span
+  style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Summary<br><br></span>* Yes, I'm a bit defensive on this topic. To me, "there<br>are too many updates" sounds a lot like "stop working on<br>the lib", which (I think, understandably) makes me testy.<br><br>* Dead Souls is fine just the way it is. If you don't<br>want to update, don't. As it is, right now, it's better<br>than any other LP lib I know of that you can download.<br><br>* If you do update, make sure you back up your mud.<br><br>* If you have ideas about how I can make the update<br>process less painful, KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF. I am not in<br>the business of patch/upgrade design, and, I'm sorry,<br>but I am not going to spend more time on it. All I<br>want to do is make DS the best ever.<br><br>* If you want to design and write a less painful upgrade method<br>that I can implement on DS, that's great. Let me know<br>about it so that I can avoid doing anything that makes<br>your work more difficult. Just don't expect me to work on<br>it *with* you.<br><br><br>I know this sounds a bit harsh...I hope you folks know<br>me well enough that you'll forgive a bit of the rudeness.<br><br>What it boils down to is a decision on where my time is<br>spent, and I'm pretty much sticking to my original plan.<br><br>For what it's worth, the vast majority of upgraders that<br>follow the patch install instructions report nothing<br>but a smooth process.<br><br></span>	</font><big> 	<br><a

It doesn't work that way.<br>There is no centralized language database, daemon, or anything<br>like that. Languages are basically like a skill: only useful to<br>the extent that lib objects make use of them.<br><br>	A player might be able to understand Tamarian, but if<br>nobody else in the lib does, it isn't much use. If no written material<br>is in Tamarian besides, then the player's language ability is a waste.<br><br>	On the other hand, if a player wants to be able to<br>understand orcs, all she has to do is find a language teacher<br>that can instruct her in that tongue. After enough lessons,<br>she will be at 100% fluency, and if she encounters written or<br>spoken information in Tangetto, she'll be able to understand<br>all of it.<br><br>	To know what languages you understand, and to what<br>extent, use the command:<br><br><span
!  style="font-weight: bold;">language</span><br><br>	To make yourself fluent in English, type:<br><br><span
!  style="font-weight: bold;">anglicize me</span><br><br>	To make yourself fluent in all languages, type:<br><br><span

If Bozo's player level is at or below<br>what is defined as newbie in /secure/include/config.h, then he understands<br>all languages at 100%.

Only a .c file gets loaded into memory, so<br>to "update" an .h file, you update the .c file that includes it. In<br>the case of a global include, like daemons.h, you would update the<br>master object (also called the master daemon) thusly:<br><br><span

   style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">How do I update everything in a directory?</span><br></big></pre>
! <big style="font-family: monospace;"><br>
! You really
! shouldn't. There are very few cases I can think<br>
! of where
! updating an entire directory is something an average<br>
! creator needs
! to do. How often do you edit multiple<br>
! files at once
! without individually updating them? Good<br>
! coding
! practice is to update the one file you just worked on to know<br>
! if it works
! at all.<br>
! <br>
! I also
! discourage it because when you do this, you lag the mud <br>
! considerably.
! I/O is the most resource intensive kind of operation, <br>
! and updating
! is on its own quite resource intensive. Updating a <br>
! directory
! with dozens of files in it will cause a noticeable hiccup <br>
! in the rest
! of the mud.<br>
! <br>
! If you are
  determined to do this, though, the
! command is :<br>
! <br>
! <span style="font-weight: bold;">update
! /path/to/dir/*</span><br>
! <br>

! <big style="font-family: monospace;"><br>
! The QCS is

! this design is avoiding a situation<br>
! where an
! object's destruction affects your local <br>
! environment
! (and this happens a bit more often than <br>
! you might
! think). <br>
! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
! To avoid some types of unpleasantness, QCS doesn't<br>
! try to
! immediately destruct objects when replacing them.<br>
! Instead, they
! are moved, along with whatever problems<br>
! they might
! have, to ROOMS_FURNACE. That is a room<br>
! where things
! go to be destructed quietly. Every <br>
! second or so,
! the contents of that room are destroyed,<br>
! and their
! bits recycled.<br>
! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
! A few other items in the lib use the furnace,<br>

! <h1>QCS Described</h1>
! <p>The Quick Creation System (or QCS) is a series of commands and modules that 
! lets you create rooms, objects, exits, and NPCs easily and quickly. Before the 
! QCS, if you wanted to make an orc, you would edit the text file by hand, or 
! copy a template file and use an editor to manually change the lines you needed 
! to modify. This could be a tiresome process, as the standard editor can be a bit 
! awkward, and making dozens of objects this way could be real torture for 
! beginners.</p>
! <p>The QCS changes all of that. Rather than use an editor to modify files, the 
! QCS gives you commands that permit you to modify objects on the fly. This means 
! that orc creation, for example, could involve just the following simple steps 
! (please note "NPC" is another word for "Mob"):</p>
! 
! <div class="inputcontainer">
! <ul class="input">
!    <li><span class="command">create npc new_orc</a></li>
!    <li><span class="command">modify npc name orc</a></li>
!    <li><span class="command">modify orc short a mean-looking orc</a></li>
!    <li><span class="command">modify orc long A typical orc: nasty, brutish, and short.</a></li>
!    <li><span class="command">modify orc race orc</a></li>
! </ul>
! </div>
! 
! <p>And that's it. All your modifications automatically get written to new_orc.c 
! (usually in your area directory), and you now have an npc you can add to a room. 
! Adding things to rooms is just as easy. Creating weapons, armor, and other 
! objects are done the same way. For complete details and examples, read the
! QCS chapters in the Creators Manual. The QCS section starts in chapter 31.</p>
! 
! <h1>Example Log</h1>
! <p>Below you will find an excerpt from an short building session using
! Dead Souls. This should be more or less exactly what you'll see by entering
! the commands hilighted in red.</p>

! <h1>QCS Described</h1>
! <p>The Quick Creation System (or QCS) is a series of commands and
! modules that lets you create rooms, objects, exits, and NPCs easily and
! quickly. Before the QCS, if you wanted to make an orc, you would edit
! the text file by hand, or copy a template file and use an editor to
! manually change the lines you needed to modify. This could be a
! tiresome process, as the standard editor can be a bit awkward, and
! making dozens of objects this way could be real torture for beginners.</p>
! <p>The QCS changes all of that. Rather than use an editor to modify
! files, the QCS gives you commands that permit you to modify objects on
! the fly. This means that orc creation, for example, could involve just
! the following simple steps (please note "NPC" is another word for
! "Mob"):</p>
! <div class="inputcontainer">
! <ul class="input">
!   <li><span class="command">create npc new_orc</span></li>
!   <li><span class="command">modify npc name orc</span></li>
!   <li><span class="command">modify orc short a mean-looking orc</span></li>
!   <li><span class="command">modify orc long A typical orc: nasty,
! brutish, and short.</span></li>
!   <li><span class="command">modify orc race orc</span></li>
! </ul>
! </div>
! <p>And that's it. All your modifications automatically get written to
! new_orc.c (usually in your area directory), and you now have an npc you
! can add to a room. Adding things to rooms is just as easy. Creating
! weapons, armor, and other objects are done the same way. For complete
! details and examples, read the
! QCS chapters in the Creators Manual. The QCS section starts in chapter
! 31.</p>
! <h1>Example Log</h1>
! <p>Below you will find an excerpt from an short building session using
! Dead Souls. This should be more or less exactly what you'll see by
! entering
! the commands hilighted in red.</p>

+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It's ok that you'll make the list longer. That's<br>

+ <span style="text-decoration: underline;">more update news:</span><br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I overlooked a couple of important things when<br>
+ I released 2.0r27. They have been addressed in <br>
+ <a href="http://dead-souls.net/code/ds2.0r28.zip">2.0r28</a>.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There may be a compat buster here. One of the<br>
+ things that needed fixing was a peculiar bug that<br>
+ would generate extra corpses under unusual circumstances,<br>
+ during combat. This bug had some relationship to<br>
+ another combat bug that prevented the accurate<br>
+ recording of a player's deaths.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the end, the fixes for these two involved the<br>
+ manipulation of persistent player variables. The <br>
+ good news is that things now seem to work just fine,<br>
+ and the bugs are seemingly gone.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The bad news is that since new player variables<br>
+ are involved, you may find that test chars created<br>
+ before an upgrade to r28 do weird things in combat...<br>
+ like not fight.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The fix is to create new test chars.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If Dead Souls was widespread enough that that<br>
+ there were muds out there that were open, with players,<br>
+ I'd look into some sort of system for updating <br>
+ older player files. Since this is not the case,<br>
+ I expect that people will be able to tolerate this<br>
+ minor inconvenience with minimal discomfort.<br>

+ <span style="text-decoration: underline;">router news:</span><br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The gjs router has been down for a week now, and<br>
+ we may see some refugee muds start to make their<br>
+ home on our router, yatmim (which by the way, stands<br>
+ for Yet Another TMI Mud, which is how the router<br>
+ started out. It's a DS mud now.) Yatmim is public and<br>
+ so all are welcome, but there are some rules folks<br>
+ need to abide by. The point of yatmim was to have<br>
+ a reliable router for DS muds, but also one where<br>
+ new people wouldn't be afraid to ask for help. <br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Please see the new <a
+  href="http://dead-souls.net/router_rules.html">router rules page</a>
+ for more info.<br>
+ <br>
+ <span style="text-decoration: underline;">update news:</span><br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Version 2.0r27 is out. I'm ever grateful to the<br>
+ folks who find problems and report them...without<br>
+ their help Dead Souls would take much longer to<br>
+ get where it's going. Thanks, guys. <br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It probably still has a bug or two, specifically in<br>
+ message boards. As usual, hotfixes will be posted<br>
+ on the <a href="http://dead-souls.net/hotfix.html">hotfix page</a>. As
+ usual, please let me know what<br>
+ bugs you find.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the new features in r27 is that the install<br>
+ process will now work on Wolfpaw servers, so you folks<br>
+ staying away because you couldn't get it to work, come<br>
+ on in. The water's fine. Just be sure to run <span
+  style="font-weight: bold;">make -j 1</span><br>
+ instead of just <span style="font-weight: bold;">make</span>.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For those uncomfortable with frequent patching,<br>
+ please be aware that it isn't absolutely necessary. <br>
+ See the <a href="http://dead-souls.net/articles/patches.html">patch
+ article</a> for more details.<br>
+ <br>

+ <span style="text-decoration: underline;">LPUni news:</span><br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tacitus has made some improvements to the front page.<br>
+ Let's hope he keeps that up and fleshes out the rough<br>
+ draft we see today.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He has also set up a "mud farm", with various LP<br>
+ lib flavors running. Take a look in particular at the<br>
+ Dead Souls 1.1 mud he's hosting. It should be interesting<br>
+ to see how different it is from DS2. The address is:<br>
+ <a href="telnet://lpuni.org:6501">lpuni.org 6501</a><br>
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sourceforge news:</span><br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In case you haven't noticed, I'm relying less<br>
+ and less on Sourceforge. They're great and everything,<br>
+ but lately they've been down a lot, and it made me<br>
+ realize I'm depending on them for stuff I can do<br>
+ myself. The download stats are totally misleading,<br>
+ and all their fancy project management stuff is just<br>
+ a waste on me. <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So you can pretty much figure on releases and<br>
+ patches showing up here first and more often than<br>
+ on Sourceforge. <br>

+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been frustrated for some time with the way<br>
+ the LPUniversity site seems almost intentionally<br>
+ designed to be confusing and inscrutable to newbie<br>
+ mudders. For example, if I didn't happen to know<br>
+ the site is supposed to be an LPC mud resource, the<br>
+ front page wouldn't be much help in informing me.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So I bought a domain with the single purpose<br>
+ of clarifying things. It's a shame I had to take it<br>
+ upon myself, but you know what they say about things<br>
+ done right. <br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The <a href="http://lpmuds.net">lpmuds.net</a> site
+ is intended to be a simple,<br>
+ easy-to-read description of LP muds. What they are,<br>
+ where you can get some, and where you can go to <br>
+ talk about them. None of this fancy calendaring,<br>
+ plenipotentiary council executive meetings, soup for <br>
+ the needy, whatever.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It's just a web site with information that I<br>
+ hope is useful.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you have any suggestions or requests about<br>
+ what the site should have, please let me know.<br>
+ <br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On another note, please be aware that Dead Souls<br>

+ adapting for DS use. Keep an eye on the <a
