Version 1.03a NOTE: You may delete ALL of the old .ANS, .ASC and .RIP files
- Updated the Documentation to reflect changes. You may wish to
look it over for additions and deletions.
- New format for art. Combined all of the art pictures into archives.
- Added a news feature, so everyone in the net will see what is going
on throughout the network just by reading the LORD daily news file!
Can be configured to just display information pertaining to your
BBS or show everything happening on all BBS's!
- Added a correction for Ctrl-E answerbacks to eliminate problems
- Speeded up the initilization of Inter-LORD and player listings.
(some accuracy in the sorting is sacrificed for the speed gains).
- Included batch files to set read attributes
- MAINTAIN OUTBOUND can now be used during the day to make passing
messages and battle results possible all day long. The player
data will only be sent at midnight
- Added MAINTAIN CLEANUP command line parameter that will cause
Inter-LORD to process incoming files even without attached netmail.
No hubbing will be performed on these files.
NOTE: Very few of the following bugs were reported, but we found them while
doing extensive testing locally.
- Fixed a problem with not processing mail messages correctly.
- Fixed a problem with handling deleted accounts. This was causing
unpredictable data to show up in player listings. May also have
been the cause of some system incompatabilities.
- Fixed a problem with a looping Minerva if you died when trying to
run away from a battle.
- Fixed a problem with not initializing variables to zero. This was
causing some people to gain or lose stats by mistake.
- Fixed a problem with using less than three character league tags
- Fixed a problem with not deleting incoming files if the bbs was
not hubbing.
- Fixed a problem with resetting the league correctly.
- Fixed a problem with Inter-LORD not being able to run from Vanadia's
arena of Warriors
