Replacing Beds, posted on Sun Jun 4 17:05:52 2023
Posted by: Pit

Hello all!

As part of some updates to furniture, several beds have been improved: you can now put things on them! This may prove quite useful for those of you who would like to have a pillow on their bed. :)

Unfortunately, as an unintended side effect of this change, many existing beds have become unplaced...

So, for those of you houseowners who have beds in their houses: please check in your house if the bed is still properly placed. If not, just replace it; the placement should not be lost ...

Those whose memory fails them on occasion will be pleased to know that the functionality of the history commands "htell" and "hsoul" has been extended:

* hsoul now also includes emotes, and has an option to filter only player souls

* a new command hsay captures all says, saytos, whispers and so on

* a new command hcomm combines the communication from htell, hsoul and hsay

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Town Immigration Report, posted on Wed Mar 30 14:17:44 2011

A craftsman has now taken up residence in Pumpkin Town. Sadly, he finds himself unable to pass on his knowledge as he lacks a proper workshop, though if asked politely he may explain a thing or two about the crafts system on the Discworld.

New Client, posted on Sat Feb 12 22:26:06 2011

The default client for playing Discworld has changed to DECAFMUD, a flash- and javascript-based browser client.

Decafmud features copy/paste, multiple commands on one line and limited logging.

The old java client is still available, from http://discworld.atuin.net/external/java/newtelnet/java_client.shtml

Playershop Problems, posted on Mon Feb 7 12:54:53 2011

Following the recent rollback, many playershops have lost their

waiting list. Don't worry, your items are not truly lost!

We are currently working on a solution to recover these lists with

minimal pain. Feel free to ask a liaison whether your shop can be

fixed, although it may take a day or two before we can (easily) do

this.

Skills Changes!, posted on Wed Feb 24 20:42:14 2010

To convenience players with screenreaders (and possibly some others as well), "skills" can now be set to show its output as a list rather than a columned tree.

To see this new output, set options output skills = list.

Greedier Pumpkins, posted on Mon Jan 26 18:11:08 2009

The pumpkin dummy in Pumpkin Town will now only give up to 3 levels in each fighting skill "for free" (normal tms, at a much slower rate, are still possible though).

On the upside, it will also give you these three levels if you have done the fighting guild task first!

Kissing Receipts, posted on Sat Jan 24 13:56:37 2009
Posted by: Pit

Missing item receipts can now be kissed by anyone, rather than just the original cloner as it used to be!

This follows on a recent development that made receipts try to fix themselves on every load, and will mainly affect receipts in playerhouses.
