- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ Change Date: Friday, October 25th, 1996 - Version 1.01 │
- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- b Fixed a minor problem in EGO #2 - Esmerelda's Magic Shop.
- o In a reset from within ROKCFG.EXE, it will now delete the Gangs.Dat
- file as well as all MSG*.DAT files.
- o ROK now ranks all characters listings in order from greatest to least
- according to their experience. Much easier to view who's winning and
- who's not with this new type of listing.
- + The Paladin and Cleric Spell "View Other Character" now works properly.
- o If the Kingdom has only one Soldier in their Army, it can no longer be
- sold in Kingdom Negotiations with Aphrenam or Ishkan.
- B Now does a lot of checking when a player commits suicide. If the dead
- player was the Owner of the Inn of Casimonda, it will return ownership
- to the defaulted NPC - Logan. Likewise, in the Health Revival Hut, it
- will return ownership to Othello, the default NPC HRH Owner. Also, if
- the deceased player belonged to a Gang, it will remove them accordingly.
- B Fixed a major bug where if a player committed suicide it would no longer
- let new players into the game for x number of days.
- b The King/Queen of Kisom can no longer assign the same Royalty Ranking
- to multiple players. For example, the King/Queen could have 3 Dukes.
- Fixed now (there is only one player for each title).
- o ROK's Maintenance will now deduct Hope/Logan's loyalty to their married
- players regardless if they enter the game or not. It'll also now inform
- them of a divorce instead of them finding out in the news. Much better
- this way.
- b In ROKCFG.EXE's (E)ditor's Menu, the (7) Kingdom Editor will no longer
- save changes regardless if the SysOp has registered ROK or not. :)
- + An intricate Gangs Editor has been added in ROKCFG.EXE's (E)ditors Menu.
- + A Health Revival Hut (HRH) Editor has been added in ROKCFG.EXE's (E)ditors
- Menu. This is almost identical to the Inn of Casimonda Editor, since they
- are both properties which can be purchased within ROK.
- o Royalty (Prince, Princess, etc), and the King or Queen can now access
- the Palace Dungeons without having to sneak into the Palace through the
- Alley.
- o Any person of Royal Status can no longer access the Rebel's Corner.
- o Balanced out the Player Battles a bit more evenly. The way it was before
- was that the player who attacked another player almost always won.
- o Field Monsters are a little stronger now.
- o The owner of the HRH now gets 10% of the profits earned when players
- heal instead of 1% (to make it worth the purchase of the property).
- + It will now write to the Daily News when a Gang Member resurrects one
- of his/her teammates.
- o Player's HP will no longer be completely healed after a battle with Atma.
- o The chances of getting caught when (R)unning away from the Tax Collector
- has been raised to 1 in 3 (it used to be 1 in 5).
- b A player can no longer be both Cursed and Blessed at the same time. :)
- o Bank Transfers now use a players Gold in the Bank, not Gold on Hand.
- o When the list of Gangs is shown, it now ranks them from greatest to least
- according to the Gangs' combined experience. Much easier to see who is
- winning the Gang Battles this way.
- o A character's bank account can no longer exceed 1.5 Billion Gold.
- + After a long struggle with multiple mountains to overcome, BadWords has
- finally been implemented into ROK. The format is the same as in other
- doorgames out there today. A maximum of 20 words can be in BadWords.Dat.
- ROK will check for BadWords in 1. Conversation Areas (Palace, Inn, and
- Rebel's Corner), 2. Messages between the players, 3. Comments after a
- player battle victory/defeat, and 4. Make Announcement.
- o Players can no longer vote more than once/day on an EGO.
- o A Gang Member can only resurrect one player per day now.
- o A player can read the Book of Kisom's Secrets once/day.
- o Possibly the biggest change in this version, the Gang Battle routine was
- completely re-written. In the process, the duplicate account and record
- #0 deletion bugs were both erradicated completely. Hopefully there should
- be no more problems stemming from this area, but one can never be too sure.
