Upgrade Notes

As with any version, I suggest making sure you have a backup of your game before upgrading. By the way, did you know that Ares can be configured to do Automatic Backups?

This version does not require a game restart. You can follow the instructions in Upgrade While Running with one tweak: In step 4, type load manage then load all.

Release Notes

Features

  • Improved the demographics system. Shortctus for group and demographic commands will now be auto-generated, the help file is now generic and refers to a 'demographics' command with configurable help text, and the demographic titles no longer require you to modify the translation files. (Suggestions by AY and Soph@AresCentral).
  • Added a 'ruby' command that lets coders execute code from the MU client. (Inspired by conversation with Griatch@MSB about Evennia's @py command).
  • Improved the weather system configuration. The weather text is now in the config file, with default versions if you don't specify anything. No more need to modify the translations file.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed error in app command caused by improperly-saved chargen config. (Reported by Goodstarbuck@AresCentral).
  • Made a better error message if you removed an action skill from the config but somebody still had it in their skill list. (Reported by KarmaBum@AresCentral)
  • Web Chargen wasn't marking people as needing a reset.
  • Weapon specials were failing silently if you picked an invalid one. (Reported by Tat@AresCentral)

Miscellaneous

  • Events in the web portal events directory will now be sorted by event date. (Suggested by Tat@AresCentral)
  • Clarified scene help. (Reported by Tat@AresCentral)
  • Limited the git commands that could be run from the in-game 'git' command, since interactive ones can't work.
  • There's a new 'load all' command to make updates easier.
  • A few style improvements (some suggested by Tat@AresCentral).
    • The input-text and input-background color options have been removed. In hindsight they're unnecessary. I made them match the regular text/background color by default, and anybody who really wants their input boxes to be a different color can just override that CSS.
    • Cleaned up the default panel style so the background and border colors are consistent.
    • Blockquote now uses border-color by default for its background style. Which technically isn't a border but making a separate color config felt like overkill.
