Version 2.14
------------
- Fixed problem associated with selling negative shares of stock.
Version 2.13
------------
- Fixed problem with number of games not resetting properly.
Version 2.12
------------
- Fix Zmodem transfer problem
- Fix intermittant problems with oddball UARTS shutting themselves down
when getting simutaneous signals.
- Several minor misc. bug fixes to comm/door library
- New RyBBS support added (untested)
- Sysop can now adjust the number of stars that will appear on the play field
- Main menu shows number of games left today
Version 2.11
------------
- The FOSSIL option was broken for most systems in version 1.10.
This was corrected.
- Invalid options on the command line are now fatal errors which
cause the game to print the error and stop immediately. They
used to just be logged to the error log...this, unfortunately,
wasn't good enough, since MANY Sysops failed to look there to see
why the game wasn't working properly.
- Removed the requirement of SHARE being loaded for single-node,
non-multitasking, non-networked systems. If SHARE is not
detected, record locking and other features necessary for proper
multi-user access are not used -- DO NOT TRY TO USE CHAT DOOR IN
A MULTI-USER ENVIRONMENT UNLESS SHARE IS LOADED! Failure to do
so WILL result in corrupted files!
Version 2.10
------------
1) Internal communications routines replaced. The new ones should be more
robust as well as have smoother file transfer protocols. There is now
support for oddball COM port configurations as well as FOSSIL drivers.
2) After typing 'E' to exit you are no longer prompted 'are you sure'.
3) Now keep track of the beep toggle from game to game. If you selected the
beep to be toggled off, it will remain that way from game to game until you
change the toggle.
Version 2.02
------------
1) Fixed problem with the UNDO feature.
2) Fixed problem with a variable getting trashed. This could have been
a potential system lock-up problem.
Version 2.01
------------
1) Additions/fixes to bbs support.
Version 2.00
------------
1) "N" is a new option which allows the user to quickly get a new screen if
the current screen is undesirable.
2) Sysop can now set the number of games per day a user can play.
3) When in expert mode, the companies value is updated immediately after
your selection. This way you know exactly how much the company is worth
before spending your money.
4) Can change graphics settings from the main menu.
5) No more Hall of Fame. Now we have an ALL TIME GREATS scoreboard instead.
This should add a bit more competition from month to month. The ALL TIME
GREATS will hold the top 10 players of all time.
6) The players "time left" is now displayed on the screen. This time reflects
the users time left on the bbs.
7) The users total net worth is now displayed at all times.
8) Spendable money now has been formatted with commas.
9) If you now type 'q' you will be asked if you really mean to quit.
10) Moved the options around a bit to make more room for the 2 new options
11) Added an Abandon feature which allows you to abandon a company of yours.
Karen asked for this one... she said every once in a while she would have
a company out in the boonies that never developed, and she wish it could
be closer to the others she owns. Any shares you own in the company you
abandon will be lost...therefore you might as well liquidate it first.
I need suggestions as to how much to charge the player each time they want
to abandon a company. (its free for now...but not for long)
12) Now when you view either of the scoreboards, your name will be highlighted.
13) Added an [U]ndo feature. This will let you undo your last move, only
before you actually purchase stock. Therefore if you quickly choose the
number 1 as your move but then saw that 2 was a better choice, you now
have the ability to undo that move and reselect the number 2 move.
This is a feature that both Chuck and Karen have been asking for this
since the original Star Market was developed.
14) Added mono bulletin support as well as color. You can specify what to call
these files and where to put them from within the config file.(starmkt.cfg)
15) maxPlayers is now implemented properly. The sysop can specify from the cfg
file just how many players he wants in the game.
16) When exiting the game (from the main menu of star market) you are now asked
if you really want to quit.
17) When executing the New Screen function, only the parts of the screen that
must be updated are updated.
18) /i, -i, /r, -r, (starmkt -i) now supported for reinitialize the game and
resetting the inuse flags for each user.
19) Added single keystroke input for legal moves. Let me know what you
think of this.
20) Added DIRECT_SCREEN_WRITES toggle in the config file. This is normally
ON, but can be toggled off if the sysop is running in a multitasking
windowed environment.
21) Added SHOW_TIME_LEFT toggle. This is normally TRUE, but can be changed
to FALSE if the sysop doesn't want the users remaining time to be
displayed.
22) Changed the number of stars that appear on the screen. Used to be a
number from 5-19 and now is 8-20.
