Changes to HGS since the first version, V1.0 by Steven Millar
V1.1
NOW FREEWARE - INCLUDED HGSGEN.EXE to make register file.
Removed the Battle Arena as one was added into Bonetown of LORD2 v1.0
and very few people liked it. The code was messy also so I removed it.
Opened up more for the UNREGISTERED Sysops to let them have a
better 'taster' of whats available to REGISTERED Sysops.
Fixed problem with running LOCALLY, you no longer need a door.sys
Problem with teleporting to the dead or teleporting to someone
whom is on their death bed in your home.
Evictor gave users 2000 gold, didn't subtract it, whoops!
Added 2 more places to evict people from, (Arrisville Inn and sosen Inn).
Added 6 more places to teleport to.
Added additional file I/O checking for the teleporter.
Fixed a bug that really had me baffled, as well as my beta testers. It was a bug
that seemed to stop people from killing the SYSOP, but it didnt always stop
you killing the SYSOP. After a while of playing LORD2 beta testers complained
that they could no longer kill me. This made it very hard to find the cause as
its effects kept changing so obviously I looked at the code where I killed the
person but found nothing after hours of going over a mere few lines. Then, I
got it, dunno how, I was just looking at other code which was seemingly innocent.
It turned out that when you get gold of a player you get half their gold. I then
made sure this was a round number but the code I was using only permitted values
upto approx. +32,000. So whenever a person went over this mark it messed things up.
As Sysops are generous with the Lord config program it affected them the most.
To cut a long story short I fixed the bug in about 2 secs.
Just found out that after further alpha testing that this bug reemerged.
It turned out that this bug was also caused by the experience level.
This is what made it so hard to find originally but its fixed.
Fixed/improved the good old ansi screens. In some areas I have added
a small stats info 'bar' type of thing to let you know what you have.
Changed some text colours and positions.
Removed the Gold 4 Experience shop and replaced it with Hell Store,
which boasts the features of the old store but it has had 5 more
things added, (alignment, charm, attack, defense and gems)
altering potions etc...
Doubled the amount of places you can teleport to, including to the Koshi
lair, and each side of the Snowy pass.
Added a few more places to evict people from and the evictor bug(s) have
been removed. It will also evict you if your in the building.
The treehouse spy bug which appeared on some systems has been fixed.
Small carrier detect bug was fixed with the bulletin board option.
