128-bit Patch [by Chris Powell]
Patch Posted Thursday, October 1st @ 02:53:07 PM, by George Greer in the get a converter too dept.
Just one patch file. You need to download a convertor for your mob\obj\world files, or just delete them all. This is a patch against stock bpl12, there is no OLC support at this time. If there is enough demand I will make a patch with it. A link for the Snippet site is at the bottom of my page, you can get a convertor there. This was taken verbatim from the HTML page he sent me. You can view the snippet site through this link.

Patrick J. Dughi: Dynamic boards v2.2
Patch Posted Wednesday, July 29th @ 09:36:21 PM, by George Greer in the final release dept.

"Hopefully, the final version of dynamic boards, so I can move on to something better. New Features/Bugfixes in v2.2:"

  1. Writes out correct information if player looses link while writing message.
  2. Handles messages with no subject/data correctly
  3. Does not allow NPC's to read the boards.
  4. Respond function included, and partially re-written
  5. Memory testing, checks for old/out of date memory, and duplicate entries, and removes them.
  6. Date is displayed correctly for messages.
  7. Fixes (completely) the the "read" bug from previous board versions. (cannot read anything but board in a room).
  8. Fixed a bug with the board name - used to only work if the board had an exdesc with the name board or bulliten in it.. surprised no one else caught this one... boards are now refered to under their assigned list of names ... (ie look notebook works).

Patrick J. Dughi: Dynamic boards v2.0
Patch Posted Wednesday, July 29th @ 09:30:50 PM, by George Greer in the read all about it dept.
  1. Boards made ascii pfile friendly. (fixes crash bug)
  2. Board messages saved in order now.
  3. Small fixes for the "read" command, so reading things other than boards works.
  4. Boards remember who reads which message.
  5. Small, tiny bit of optimization.

Patrick J. Dughi: Dynamic boards v1.0
Patch Posted Tuesday, July 28th @ 09:32:58 PM, by George Greer in the create and destroy dept.

"This patch takes circlebpl12, patched with oasis1.5, and adds the ability to create boards on-the-fly. That is, you simply define a board as "ITEM_BOARD" in oedit, and everything else is taken care of. Also added is the ability of a board to be named, and accessed under that name."

"Create a board named "notebook". You may now type "look at notebook" instead of having to type "look at board". This is good for builders/(coders) who need something online so they can remember things."

"Read/write/remove levels are alterable by changing the value(s) in oedit. Should work okay."

Patch Posted Tuesday, July 28th @ 09:27:50 PM, by George Greer in the slurpy dept.

"Allows for spells which exist as long as the caster is both on the mud, and has enough mana to support said spells. Adds the spell 'mana armor', which is a draining spell."

Patrick J. Dughi: OasisOLC path editor
Patch Posted Tuesday, July 28th @ 09:20:17 PM, by George Greer in the very useful dept.

"Well, it allows you to add 'paths' for mobs through your medit function. What is a 'path' ? Well, the name is misleading - its actually nothing more complex than scheduling that a certain mob does something at a certain time. For example, the guard wakes up at 6 am, and walks to his guard post in another room. Or the donut guy makes the donuts."

Patrick J. Dughi: Wand of Wonder
Patch Posted Tuesday, July 28th @ 09:08:58 PM, by George Greer in the pretty colors dept.

"This is a spec proc for a wand of wonder. It doesn't work so well overmuch, but it does contain lots of functions which will be good for beginning circle coders who want to see how to say, do something to everyone in a room, or zone, or create objects or mobs, or how to kill some one (mud-wise)."

John Evans: Enhanced weather v0.1
Patch Posted Tuesday, July 28th @ 08:31:36 PM, by George Greer in the older version dept.

"This patch makes the weather a bit more realistic by giving each zone a different weather pattern. The sunlight patterns were unchanged as this patch concentrates on weather. This patch does not do different climates (eg: arctic, temperate, desert, etc.). I'll leave it up to your imagination and coding abilities to add in extra climates to your mud."

John Evans:   replacement
Patch Posted Tuesday, July 28th @ 08:15:43 PM, by George Greer in the standards are nice dept.

"This patch fixed the stock CircleMUD 3.0 bpl 11 problem with \n\r sequences being sent to the character. The telnet standard is clearly \r\n, not \n\r. This is not a problem, in most cases, but some (less intelligent) MUD clients cannot seem to handle this well.

Because of this, I made this patch that goes through the code and turns all the \n\r sequences to \n\r."
