Spell Components, posted on Sat Feb 6 10:04:20 2010
Posted by: Carmine
Category: Guilds
A bug was fixed with spells when casting with the "using" syntax meaning

that it should no longer be possible to cast a spell using components in

another player's inventory. As a side-effect of this, you may now only

use components in your room or in your own inventory. If you target a

component that is in a container of yours then it will attempt to take

the component out even if the container is not a component pouch.

Banishing Barrel Bugs, posted on Fri Feb 5 18:41:48 2010

Some bugs were fixed with barrels (the playerhouse furniture variant), which didn't save when they should and didn't have the right ownership checks before.

As a consequence, taking items from barrels in a playerhouse/-shop where you are not allowed will now be considered theft.

Syntax Syntax, posted on Thu Feb 4 15:39:32 2010

The "syntax" command has received a new syntax: "syntax <command> {brief|verbose}"

Using the "verbose" syntax will show you the syntaxes for the command, along with a brief explanation of what it does.

"syntax <command>" will use your verbose settings to determine whether the output will be brief or verbose. This can be toggled with the commands "brief" and "verbose".

There are still a lot of commands without syntax details, however our ambition is that eventually they'll all have them. If y...

Time To Get Rolling, posted on Thu Jan 28 15:21:53 2010

The barbarians are glad to welcome Hugh and his pub to the seasonal Hublandish Barbarians' camps. You can find Hugh in the active camp (which camp site is active depends on the season), and enjoy a merry beverage or two. Hugh has also invented a dice game for you to play: just roll the die and see how much you win. Or don't win.

There is a new achievement for Hugh's dice game. Whilst we were in the mood, we also added a couple of achievements for Klondike solitaire (a set can be found in ...

It is now possible to use the "froginfo" command on other people than yourself.

Good luck!

All spells which cause damage on backfiring should now bring up the caster's HP monitor in the case of such an unfortunate incident. (Assuming said caster has the monitor option turned on, that is.) If you find one that doesn't, please bugrep it.

Please note that no additional damage has been added - it's just that the damage that was always occuring is now more apparent.

The priests of Sto Lat have finally managed to persuade one of their number to take up permanent residence as an instructor in Pishe's temple. Young Brassica seems quite comfortable in her new home, and hopes her sisters and brothers in Pishe won't be too tardy in coming to say hello to her.
