'finnw_pre_permprot'.

added babel and annoy gag filters.

Resolved some conflicts in bork.h

NB - cmckenna:  If you get lines with "<<<<<" or ">>>>>" in a file
when you do a cvs update, it means there was a conflict (someone else
changed the lines since you did the checkout).  You have to manually
merge the two sections.  It's fairly easy with initialiser lists like
this one.

Removed some more unused thread code.

The 'D' special flag check (on devel versions) is now bypassed if
getuid() == geteuid().

!resubscribe and !unsubscribe can be forced once again.

Fixed a buffer overrun in display_message().  It was only making sure
there was room for the next character.  Long colour codes could overrun
the end of the buffer.  Unused colour codes (ie with another colour
code following but no printables in between) are now overwritten in the
output buffer.

Removed log.bb and who.bb.  They keep causing conflicts & there is no
advantage in keeping copies in the repository (unlike folders).

Added the (D)eveloper special flag.  This is now required to run
development versions of mw.

Added the (Q)uiet special flag, which allows non-superusers to log in
quietly.  This is intended for test users, so that they don't need su.

Updated wizhelp/special with the new flags (and 'U' which was missing).

added babel fish  and babelfish  to the babel gag (both translate to 'fish
of confusion')

Chris

More babel items added

Fixed 2 buffer overruns:
1: strip_colours() was writing an extra null terminator.
2: frl_line() was not leaving space for the null terminator when it
   resized the buffer.

added more babel gag substitutions that I found.

Added some restrictions on script filenames.

Paths can no longer contain "..", and must refer to a regular file.
(They also cannot have a leading '/', but this never had any effect).

Files in another user's directory must now be loaded through symlinks.

The following commands can no longer be forced:

!addfol, .alias, !autosub, .bind, !board, .destroy, .floodlimit,
!folder, .load, !mesg, !mod, !passwd, !reply, !resubscribe, .runaway,
!save, !su, !tidyup, .unalias, .unbind, !unsubscribe, !user, !write

Some I wasn't sure about, so I've left alone for now:

!catchup, !changeinfo, !emote, .event, !new, !quit, .restart, !tell,
!wall, !wiz

This is controlled by the priv flags in the command tables, 0x4000 for
talker commands, 0x100 for board commands.

Updated wizhelp/gags with the new gag types, and added the chatmode
flags for each.

Changed display_message() so that colour codes are cancelled before
line wraps (return and indent), and restored on the next line.  This
prevents 'leaking' of the background colour onto the next line, on
certain terminals.

Fixed display of 'wiz' flag in who lists, which I broke when I
removed the daemon flag.

Added a few more babelfish entries.

Removed an entry from the warez table that was causing infinite loops
in apply_bork().

1.15         (fry      10-Mar-00): //{ "", "" },
1.40         (fry      03-Nov-00): { "", "" },
1.15         (fry      10-Mar-00): { NULL, NULL} };

Looks like the 2nd line was uncommented by accident recently.

Note: this means giving anyone the warez gag in the release version will
crash their mw session as soon as they say anything.  Maybe we'd better
release another version?

Also added some more entries to the babelfish table.

Added a few more entries to the tnarg filter.

Added the "babelfish" gag.

Removed the redundant 'daemon' flag.

Fixed a .notsayto loophole, where the person could hear the message if
they had global and were in a different room.

More 'french' gag stuff.

Finalised 'mud command' stuff.

Fixed some minor 'room' code.

*READY FOR RELEASE*

This will be my last edit for a while, and have got it ready and stable for
a release... - I start work now, with no time to spare (no internet at home
- b&b)

Fry

Q-IGNORE, and Q-UNIGNORE now do not give out messages indicating when they
have ignored/unignored etc.., but instead set comparison counters. Means you
can now truly use them quietly, and write your own message in whatever
format you wish.

Added 'allo allo' gag - only _very_ few bork filters in there yet, but will
add more soon.

Fry

'initfunc' now working

From now on, 'autoexec' will not be executed automatically unless it is
defined:

initfunc autoexec

instead of the normal

function autoexec

you can have as many 'inifunc' functions as you wish.

once it is changed, autoexec will work perfectly as normal.

fry

Removed 'look' and 'users' from talker commands - now purely mud.

Fry

Added more 'mud' commands - gradually converting them from 'talk' commands.
Things like 'look' and 'users' are now mud commands.

Fixed a segmentation fault on mud commands when trying to tab complete part
of a word that doesnt exist, eg '[fis<tab>' - there is nothing beginning
with 'f' so segv's - small spelling error :/

Oh, mud commands now back to '[', as ';', '@', '\', plus other characters
dont seem to be recognised by readline as a letter. Normally, if you do
',<tab>', 'start' is set to 0 in the complete_entry function. However, if
you use '@<tab>', start is set to '1' - the number of characters. (ie,
'@@<tab>' gives '2').

Is there any way to fix this?

Fry

USERROOM <var for result> <USERNAME>

if in mud-mode and cant find room, etc.. returns -1 instead of room.
Acts the same as the wholist room numbers do.

Fry

Fixed bug in 'ChangeRoom' which duplicated 'Cannot find that room' error
message

Added 'ABS' mw-script command.
Usage: 'ABS <var> <input>' - 'input' may be variables etc.. and must be
       numeric

Added 'RANGE' mw-script command.
Usage: 'RANGE <input> <low> <high>' - is 'input' within (inclusive) the
       range 'low..high'. Must all be numeric. Sets comparison counter
       if matched.

Examples:
	SET test -4
	ABS out $test
	PRINT $out
	--------
	4


	INPUT test "Enter number: "
	IFCLEAR
	RANGE $test 1 10
	IFALL yes
	PRINT "NO"
	RETURN
	yes:
	PRINT "YES"
	RETURN
	--------
	Enter number: 4
	YES
	Enter number: 38
	NO


Fry

Fixed a bug in the help message '. Use !help for a list of commands'. Now
changes '!' for whatever it _should_ be. Cunning bug that always seems to
have been there, but just noticed it...

Oh, and i've noticed the revision number is getting rediculously high again
(something like 52 now :). I think once i've finished this set of bugs/fixes
(about 4 to go now), we should have another release. Theres _alot_ of new
code which alot of people will find useful - such as the username
tab-completion which has been requested alot by users who use mw alot

Fry

MUD commands changed from ':' to '@'...

Slight oversight.. I now find it *very* irritating doing smileys :)

Command ')' not found. Use !help for a list of commands.

Arse.. gotta change the '!help' bit too.. <sigh> so much that goes wrong..

I'm pooped. I've been working a long 6 days with a games company.. i'm going
now..

Fry

- More MUD directions
- Some slightly better MUD command code
- MUD Command character now ':' - more accessible. I tried '>', and ';', but
  these both cause mw to segfault. Any reason? eg, invalid char?

Fry

Okay, mud commands now work - at least for noraml compass directions. Havent
addd others yet, but will now be extremely easy to do so.

Username tab-completion flag now added too. use '.tcunames on|off' (or .t)
with it on, you can tab-complete in normal talker text the username of
anyone currently on talker. turn it off for pasting tabs etc.. onto talker

Off as default.

Fry

New room code. All room change code now put into the one function in
'rooms.c' - ChangeRoom.

Takes a string argument (the new room), and an int (the 'quiet' flag).

Slightly more efficient, and less userdb access.

Fry

Fixed 'checkonoff'. Seems to work all the time now (no 'system') users -
moved all the broadcast to start of logoff functions so to give it time
before removing from the who-list

Added a 'timeout' style message for people when their connection drops.

Checkonoff now broadcasts when the user logs off the talker in the following
cases:

normal, zod, mrod, timeout, connection lost, banned

each one gives off a different code:

Logon = 1
Logoff normally = 0
Connectino Lost = -1
Timeout = -2
Banned = -3
Zod = -4
MRoD = -5

Logoff messages are negative (and 0), logon messages are positive, incase
you wish to add other cases in the future.

Everyone has the ability to check whether a user has logged on/off using the
'checkonoff' bind in scripts. However, only those with SU can tell the exact
method of logging off/on. Those without SU will just get 0/1.

Fry

Fixed some stuff in the 'annoy' gag - better filters

IPC's, RPC's, and CHECKONOFF's now added to event stack, so wont spam screen
when writing messages

Fry

script instruction 'set' now takes args like 'print' does - any number of
them appended rather than one.

Fry

script function tab completion now works perfectly.
added script function tab completion to 'bind' talker command

Fry

A minor change to the censor gag to piss Gareth off...

Okay. ROOM is now silent again if you have SU

Fry

Arse.. apparently missed this file out according to finnw. Here is it..

Chris

Changed the script 'room' command to always be loud again.
Q-ROOM is available for those with Developer mode (D chatpriv) if you need
to move around quietly, while developing rooms/scripts whatever. However,
dont give this priv to anyone - it enables the other devel commands too,
which will spam your screen with crud etc... :)

Fry

Added mudmode commands. in mudmode, use /command.

so far, the tab-complete/command structure is all there, but only:
/east, /west, /north, and /south are present atm, and all they do is print
the command name.

Will add the other directions, plus things like /look etc.. in a while, and
actually make them *do* something (needs a large rewrite of the room change
code, otherwise i'm repeating it two-three times!)
