Halflings rejoice! Now you can not only pull your husbands out of fish
barrels, but you can pull branches into ye olde campfire!

No more excuses, get those fish a-cooking!

See the helpfiles for details and report any oddities.

There is a new command ‘gather’.
It will allow you to collect items that are found during a search in a bag or backpack.
Check the help file file, too.

Hi,

I have done some minor fixes to the Elvandar city council:
- You can now ‘sort’ laws in a different order if you are council member
- You can now retitle laws if you are council member

These changes are just meant to ease your reading and to let you better make titles reflect actual content in a managable way. So please use responsibly (aka not sabotage it even if you are “evil”).

There is now an extension for the make command. You can now made simple bows and arrows of minor quality. But these items can not be sold in shops.

Anglachel

There have been some changes to the fighter specials ‘hack’ and ‘cleave’. Now you can use two-handed polearms to perform them, in addition to your trusty axe.

Let us know via report if there are any problems.

Hi,

We have changed the “favour check” miracle to only show the favour a person has in your god (no god/karma should be visible). This generally means that it will now be somewhat more difficult to see the true alignment of a person, which should open up for more RP possibilities!

It should have immidiate effect! Bugs/love/abuse/comments => mail me.

Your kick-ass wiz,
Glasp

I have made some updates to the code that handles archery. It should be be fully in play after next reboot. You will now be able to tell what sort of missile you have loaded in your bow, etc. New rules are in play when holding a bow or sling loaded. Familiarize yourself with them before you head into any danger. Please report anything that seems awry. I will be looking into the remaining bugs in the mean time.

Yours,

Your Wizards

Hello,

I’ve expanded our “emote” command. Please read “help emote” to familiarize yourself with its features. A quick overview of what is new:

1) Your name can now be anywhere in the sentence rather than always at the beginning.

2) You can now address objects (armours, weapons, etc) as well.

3) You can now conjugate verbs.

4) Emote now uses ANSI colors (you can turn off/turn on/set them under “setcolor communication”).

Since the code is rather complex, I fully expect some problems at the beginning, so if you encounter bugs, please let me know immediately (either post on the forums, send me a mudmail or commune me directly). However, before you decide that it’s a bug, please make sure you fully read and understood the help-file (of course if you think the help-file isn’t clear enough on certain things, let me know as well).

Lastly, there are several rules to prevent abuse of the new emote command, so please read them carefully.

Enjoy,
Abharsair
