This is patch10 to PennMUSH 1.7.5. After applying this patch, you will
have version 1.7.5p10
To apply this patch, save it to a file in your top-level MUSH directory,
and do the following:
patch -p1 < 1.7.5-patch10
make install
If you use GNU patch 2.2, you probably want the above to be 'patch -b -p1',
not just 'patch -p1'.
Unix (or cygwin) users need not worry about failed hunks in src/switchinc.c,
hdrs/switches.h, hdrs/cmds.h, or hdrs/funs.h. These files are automatically
rebuilt on compile.
Then @shutdown and restart your MUSH.
- Alan/Javelin
In this patch:
Major Changes:
* Commands can now be restricted by generic flags or powers.
Several mush.cnf options (restricted_building, free_objects,
hate_dest, player_locate, cemit_power) are now restrict.cnf
restrictions instead. By Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
Functions:
* When a set function (setdiff, etc.) is called with 4 arguments,
if the last one isn't a valid sorting category, it's treated as
the output separator. Inspired by Mux [SW]
* checkpass(), a wizard function that checks a string against a player's
password. Requested by Writh@M*U*S*H.
* regedit() and variants can now accept multiple regexps and
replacements, in order, like edit(). By Walker@M*U*S*H.
* comp() can take a third argument to specify the type of
comparison to make. Suggested by Philip Mak.
* The trigonometric functions now take an optional argument to
control how the angles they work with are measured to allow them
to accept angles in degrees as well as the default radians. [SW,MUX2,Rhost]
* Added ctu() for converting between angle measurements. [SW,MUX2,Rhost]
* Added atan2(). [SW]
* dist2d() and dist3d() can take floating-point numbers. [SW]
* Other small cleanups in the math functions. [SW]
@Mail:
* The MAIL_SUBJECTS option has been removed. @mail now includes
subjects mandatorily. Suggested by Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
Minor Changes:
* When a player @clones an object owned by another player, the
clone is now owned by the @cloning player, instead of the original
owner. Fixes a quota transfer issue reported by Sparta and
Philip Mak.
* The flag table is no longer walked with a linear search. Instead,
ptab_firstentry and ptab_nextentry are used. Flags no longer need
to be added in a particular order or groups in flags.c, and flags
added through hardcode should work better. Patch by Vadiv@M*U*S*H
* Error message for wrong number of arguments to a function
now tells you how many arguments it thinks you gave.
Suggested by Philip Mak.
* GAGGED players may now perform mail reading and maintenance.
* Internal reorganization of signal code. [SW]
* Attempts to speak on a channel that you can't speak on or see
now fail and command parsing continues. Suggested by Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
* The amount of CPU time spent running a queue entry can be limited.
This helps reduce the impact of some types of denial-of-service attacks.
New mush.cnf directive queue_entry_cpu_time. This currently
works only on Unix systems with setitimer. [SW]
* Internal rewrite of page/whisper code by Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
* Flag set/reset messages now include the name of the target object.
Suggested by Kyieren@M*U*S*H.
* game/txt/Makefile now includes options to limit the number of
news/etc topic aliases that are included in the 'entries' indices
generated by index-files.pl. Suggested by Nymeria@M*U*S*H.
* Minor inconsistencies in @sweep output punctuation reported by
Cmintrnt@M*U*S*H have been fixed.
* Added hints/cygwin.sh, tested with cygwin 1.3.12. Added additional
cygwin build information to README.
* The whisper-pose message is now Player senses: <pose>, with no
quotation marks added. This matches all other pose-type messages
in the server. Suggested by Philip Mak.
Fixes:
* Archaic help reference to FORCE_WHITE removed. Noted by Oriens@Alexandria.
* Help fixes by Cerekk@bDv TrekMUSH, Julian@M*U*S*H, Letters@M*U*S*H,
and Philip Mak.
* The wildcard matcher could lag the MUSH under unusual conditions.
It's now smarter. Discovered by Sketch@M*U*S*H.
* Fixes from 1.7.4p20
* Fix a bug with setdiff() not using the output separator correctly. [SW]
* convsecs() could attempt to use values larger than 2^31, which could
crash Windows. Reported by Bellemore@M*U*S*H.
* @config didn't correctly show default flags for objects.
Reported by Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
* The strcasecoll function was poorly coded, and is now fixed.
* Created players who hadn't yet logged in didn't have LASTIP set
properly. Reported by Philip Mak.

*** 140,232 ****
Here's the process in detail:
! 1. If you're running on win32 (either 95 or NT, that is),
! you have two options: compile with MS VC++ or compile with
! the cygwin32 unix emulation tools.
!
! If you want to compile with MS VC++, follow the instructions
! in win32/README.txt and then skip down to step #6 below.
!
! If you want to compile with cygwin, install the cygwin32
! unix emulation tools (available free from Cygnus at
! http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/). You'll want the entire Cygnus
! Developer's Kit (cdk), notably including 'make' and 'patch'. These are
! required for compiling PennMUSH. Make sure you set up your environment
! variables properly as discussed in the Kit's installation instructions.
!
! VERY IMPORTANT: The rest of the instructions assume that you have
! started up a bash shell and are running commands under that shell --
! they won't work right if run directly from a DOS shell.
!
! VERY IMPORTANT: cygwin32's bin directory (usually something horrible like
! /gnuwin32/b18/h-i386-cygwin32/bin) must appear in your path
! *before* c:\windows\command does, so that 'sort' calls the good
! GNU sort, and not the bad Windows sort.
!
! Optionally, install Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler. If you want
! to use it, make sure 'cl' (the command line compiler) is in your
! PATH.
!
! If you're running under Windows NT, you may wish to edit src/bsd.c
! and uncomment the #define NT_TCP option at the top. If you can
! build with this, you'll get greatly enhanced network i/o performance.
! This does not work on Windows 95/98.
!
! 2. Type 'sh Configure' in the top directory. This script will
! ask you some questions and attempt to identify the proper Makefile
! settings for your system. The default answers are very likely to be
! correct, except that if you have gcc 2.0 or later, you should generally
! prefer to compile with that than with your system's cc compiler. If
! you don't want to answer the questions you can try "sh Configure -d"
! which simply accepts all the defaults. This works right on most
! systems, though you may prefer "sh Configure -d -D cc=gcc" to use gcc.
!
! Win32 has two different configuration sets: 'win32' and 'win32-gcc'.
! The former (which is default) uses Microsoft's compiler to produce
! a native executable. The latter (which uses gcc from the Cygnus
! tools) doesn't require Microsoft's compiler (and thus you don't have
! to pay for it), but the resulting executable will not run without
! Cygnus' tools on the system. You may select between these configuration
! sets when Configure asks which hints file to use. When switching
! between these configurations, make sure to delete 'config.sh' before
! running Configure.
!
3. EITHER:
! Then, copy options.h.dist to options.h. Note that these files stay in
! the top directory.
Edit the file. It's liberally commented.
! Also, cp game/mushcnf.dst to game/mush.cnf.
OR:
Type 'make update', and answer all the questions about which MUSH
options you want.
! You do not need to change any of the other header files.
4. Do a "make install". This will build all the necessary files, and
set up some symbolic links for the restart script. You will probably
receive a few compilation warnings, which can generally be ignored.
- Under win32 using the Microsoft compiler, the make will abort when
- trying to build info_slave. This is all right; you don't need the
- info_slave.
-
- Under win32 using gcc, copy src/netmud.exe to game/netmush.exe,
- and src/info_slave.exe to game/info_slave.exe. Note the name change
- for netmud -> netmush.
-
5. If you plan to run multiple MUSHes, you may want to do a "make
customize" which will run a script to help set up a separate customized
game subdirectory for each MUSH (run it once per MUSH you plan to run).
Files in these subdirectories will already be customized in many ways,
so what follows may be slightly different. :)
! 6. Read game/README and follow those instructions.
PennMUSH has been tested on a fairly wide variety of machines and

! a. Compile with MS VC++. If you want to do this, read win32/README.txt
! and then skip down to step #6 below
! b. Compile with the Cygwin unix emulation tools (http://www.cygwin.com)
! In addition to the base cygwin stuff, you'll want the following packages:
! binutils, gcc, make, patch, perl
! These are also recommended:
! gettext, gettext-devel, indent, vim or emacs
! It is recommended that you install the tools under C:\CYGWIN and
! that you read the Cygwin FAQ if you get messages about HOME not set.
!
! Put the pennmush .tar.gz file in C:\CYGWIN\USR\SRC. Don't uncompress
! it with Winzip or other windows tools!
!
! VERY IMPORTANT: The rest of the instructions assume that you have
! started up a bash shell and are running commands under that shell --
! they won't work right if run directly from a DOS shell.
!
! cd /usr/src, and unpack the .tar.gz file with:
! tar xfz pennmush-whatever.tar.gz
!
! 2. cd pennmush. On Unix systems:
! ./Configure -d
!
! On cygwin systems:
! . Configure
! (That's a single period, a space, and Configure)
! When you get to the question about hints files, choose 'cygwin'.
! For all other questions, the defaults should work.
3. EITHER:
! Copy options.h.dist to options.h. Note that these files stay in the
! pennmush directory.
Edit the file. It's liberally commented.
! On Cygwin systems, you should *not* define NT_TCP with cygwin, and you
! should use MALLOC_PACKAGE 0. You may use an COMPRESSION_TYPE you prefer.
!
! Also, cp game/mushcnf.dst to game/mush.cnf and edit.
!
! On cygwin systems, you probably should not use compressed database,
! so modify that bit.
OR:
Type 'make update', and answer all the questions about which MUSH
options you want.
! You should not need to change any of the other header files.
4. Do a "make install". This will build all the necessary files, and

game subdirectory for each MUSH (run it once per MUSH you plan to run).
Files in these subdirectories will already be customized in many ways,
so what follows may be slightly different. :)
! 6. Read game/README and follow those instructions.
!
! On cygwin systems, you will likely have to edit the game/restart
! script and explicitly set GAMEDIR (to /usr/src/pennmush/game)

+ Version 1.7.5 patchlevel 10 September 19, 2002
+
+ Major Changes:
+ * Commands can now be restricted by generic flags or powers.
+ Several mush.cnf options (restricted_building, free_objects,
+ hate_dest, player_locate, cemit_power) are now restrict.cnf
+ restrictions instead. By Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
+ Functions:
+ * When a set function (setdiff, etc.) is called with 4 arguments,
+ if the last one isn't a valid sorting category, it's treated as
+ the output separator. Inspired by Mux [SW]
+ * checkpass(), a wizard function that checks a string against a player's
+ password. Requested by Writh@M*U*S*H.
+ * regedit() and variants can now accept multiple regexps and
+ replacements, in order, like edit(). By Walker@M*U*S*H.
+ * comp() can take a third argument to specify the type of
+ comparison to make. Suggested by Philip Mak.
+ * The trigonometric functions now take an optional argument to
+ control how the angles they work with are measured to allow them
+ to accept angles in degrees as well as the default radians. [SW,MUX2,Rhost]
+ * Added ctu() for converting between angle measurements. [SW,MUX2,Rhost]
+ * Added atan2(). [SW]
+ * dist2d() and dist3d() can take floating-point numbers. [SW]
+ * Other small cleanups in the math functions. [SW]
+ @Mail:
+ * The MAIL_SUBJECTS option has been removed. @mail now includes
+ subjects mandatorily. Suggested by Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
+ Minor Changes:
+ * When a player @clones an object owned by another player, the
+ clone is now owned by the @cloning player, instead of the original
+ owner. Fixes a quota transfer issue reported by Sparta and
+ Philip Mak.
+ * The flag table is no longer walked with a linear search. Instead,
+ ptab_firstentry and ptab_nextentry are used. Flags no longer need
+ to be added in a particular order or groups in flags.c, and flags
+ added through hardcode should work better. Patch by Vadiv@M*U*S*H
+ * Error message for wrong number of arguments to a function
+ now tells you how many arguments it thinks you gave.
+ Suggested by Philip Mak.
+ * GAGGED players may now perform mail reading and maintenance.
+ * Internal reorganization of signal code. [SW]
+ * Attempts to speak on a channel that you can't speak on or see
+ now fail and command parsing continues. Suggested by Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
+ * The amount of CPU time spent running a queue entry can be limited.
+ This helps reduce the impact of some types of denial-of-service attacks.
+ New mush.cnf directive queue_entry_cpu_time. This currently
+ works only on Unix systems with setitimer. [SW]
+ * Internal rewrite of page/whisper code by Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
+ * Flag set/reset messages now include the name of the target object.
+ Suggested by Kyieren@M*U*S*H.
+ * game/txt/Makefile now includes options to limit the number of
+ news/etc topic aliases that are included in the 'entries' indices
+ generated by index-files.pl. Suggested by Nymeria@M*U*S*H.
+ * Minor inconsistencies in @sweep output punctuation reported by
+ Cmintrnt@M*U*S*H have been fixed.
+ * Added hints/cygwin.sh, tested with cygwin 1.3.12. Added additional
+ cygwin build information to README.
+ * The whisper-pose message is now Player senses: <pose>, with no
+ quotation marks added. This matches all other pose-type messages
+ in the server. Suggested by Philip Mak.
+ Fixes:
+ * Archaic help reference to FORCE_WHITE removed. Noted by Oriens@Alexandria.
+ * Help fixes by Cerekk@bDv TrekMUSH, Julian@M*U*S*H, Letters@M*U*S*H,
+ and Philip Mak.
+ * The wildcard matcher could lag the MUSH under unusual conditions.
+ It's now smarter. Discovered by Sketch@M*U*S*H.
+ * Fixes from 1.7.4p20
+ * Fix a bug with setdiff() not using the output separator correctly. [SW]
+ * convsecs() could attempt to use values larger than 2^31, which could
+ crash Windows. Reported by Bellemore@M*U*S*H.
+ * @config didn't correctly show default flags for objects.
+ Reported by Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
+ * The strcasecoll function was poorly coded, and is now fixed.
+ * Created players who hadn't yet logged in didn't have LASTIP set
+ properly. Reported by Philip Mak.

+ * The dbck check for nameless rooms was only checking disconnected
+ rooms; now it checks all rooms.
+ * hasflag() did not work with single-character flag abbreviations.
+ Report by Mystery8.
+ * The variable named 'template' in src/strutil.c has been renamed

+ * Improvement to help @filter. Suggested by Philip Mak. [SW]
+ * Files in the patches directory ending in ~ are ignored

+ Utilities:
+ * 'make globalinstall' will install executables, scripts, and
+ a game/ directory structure in a global location (/usr/libexec/pennmush
+ by default). Facilitates rpm builds. By Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
+ * The utils/ln-dir.sh script can be used to clone a globalinstall'd
+ pennmush for an individual MUSH/user. In combination, these two
+ are a replacement for 'make customize', especially for mud hosters.
+ By Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
+ * You can now configure options.h settings from the command line
+ using: make DEFINE="OPTION OPTION=value" UNDEFINE="OPTION" update
+ This will mostly be useful for autoinstallers and packaging scripts.
+ Suggested by Vadiv@M*U*S*H.
+ Minor Changes:
+ * The default gcc compile flags now include some extra warnings.
+ * The prefix-table code now only aliases down to unique prefixes.
+ This prevents @w from calling @wipe (reported by Philip Mak),
+ and means that you'll need to use alias.cnf to get some of those
+ short aliases. [SW]
+ * Attribute lookups only do prefix-matching on attributes with the

+ flag, but newly added @attributes won't. Solves a problem with

+
+ Commands:
+ * @notify and @drain now accept a new switch /any. [TAP]
+ * Added @remit/list. Suggested by Tareldin@M*U*S*H [SW]
+ Minor changes:
+ * We now use the Mersenne Twister pseudo-random number generator,
+ which is better that that available in most C libraries.
+ Moreover, we seed with /dev/urandom, if it's available. [SW]
+ * The 'T' type character (for THING) is now shown when one-character
+ flag lists are displayed. This is more consistent with other types,
+ and makes it harder to confuse #23O (#23, opaque) with #230
+ (#230, no flags). Suggested by Eratl@M*U*S*H.
+ * @lock/use on a parent used to apply to attempts to use $commands on
+ a child. This is no longer necessary, given inheritable locks,
+ so the behavior has been changed. Parents' locks are no longer checked
+ when deciding if a $command inherited from the parent should be run
+ via a child.

+ * Much more support for handling accented characters in the ISO 8859-1
+ character set. See help for accent(), stripaccents(), and NOACCENTS.
+ Inspired by Elendor. [SW]
+ * Things that do first-unique-prefix matching (command, attribute and flag
+ names) now use a more space-efficient data structure than before.
+ This adds two new files, src/ptab.c and hdrs/ptab.h [SW]
+ Commands:
+ * @sitelock/remove removes a sitelock entry. [SW]
+ Functions:
+ * ord() and chr() functions for converting characters to/from numerical
+ values that represent them. [SW]
+ Minor changes:
+ * The useless FORCE_WHITE flag is really, truely, gone. [SW]
+ * Use the new arglens argument to functions in more places. [SW]
+ * capstr() and before() fixes reimplemented using arglens. [SW]
+ * We now use the Mersenne Twister PRNG algorithm. [SW]
+ Fixes:
+ * setunion() no longer eats empty list elements. [SW]
+ * Setting an inherited lock on a child could change the parent's lock.
+ Reported by Riverwolf. [SW]
+ * Help fixes. [SW, Nymeria]
+ * Players waiting at the connect screen weren't being disconnected
+ by the idle_timeout.

+ * Win32 portability fixes by Noltar@Korongil.
+
+ & 1.7.5p2
+ Version 1.7.5 patchlevel 2 January 23, 2002
+
+ Major changes:
+ * Implementations for softcode functions get the lengths of their arguments
+ passed to them, and this is taken advantage of in a number of places. [SW]
+ Minor changes:
+ * It's harder to get a partial dbref because of end-of-buffer truncation. [SW]
+ * Code cleanup. In particular, safe_str() and friends are no longer
+ macros for a safe_copy_str() or the like, because hardly anything
+ used a different buffer length than BUFFER_LEN, and those places
+ can be handled other ways. [SW]
+ Fixes:
+ * Win32 portability fixes by Noltar@Korongil and Eric Koske.
+ * When you have two hidden connections, one idle over the inactivity limit,
+ and the other not, @hide/off on the active connection unhides both,
+ but you also see the Inactivity re-hide message from the other
+ connection. Reported by Trispis.
+ * iname() function actually added to function table so it works.

+ * PCRE updated to 3.7. [SW]
+ * player_name_len is now runtime configurable. Suggested by
+ Linda Antonsson. [SW]
+ * Any object of any type may be a ZMO, and any object of any type
+ may be zoned to a ZMO of any type. However, searching for
+ $commands has not changed, so $commands on a ZMO are only
+ searched when the ZMO is not a room, and $commands on objects
+ within the ZMO are only searched when the ZMO is a room. [TAP]
+ * @chzoneall nows directly calls @chzone, and @chzone now tells
+ you when it's not changing a zone. [TAP]
+ * The term "Zone Master" (player) has been replaced by "Shared
+ Player" in the help. [TAP]

+
+ & 1.7.5p0
+ Version 1.7.5 patchlevel 0 November 14, 2001
+
+ Major Changes:
+ * This is now the development minor version. This first release includes
+ relatively few changes, to make converting to it easier.
+ * Internal changes to the lock system. This requires a new minimal.db,
+ which is now distributed. [SW]
+ * Locale-based string collation throughout.
+ * Only ANSI C compilers are still supported; no more K&R. Files are
+ gradually going to be converted to ANSI C only.
+ * There is now an option to make ZMOs and ZMRs not count for
+ control of objects, only ZMPs. [SW]
+ Flags:
+ * The ZONE player flag has been renamed SHARED, to help seperate the
+ ZMP control-only meaning from the command-matching of ZMOs and ZMRs. [SW]
+ Commands:
+ * /preserve switch for @link prevents @chowning. Suggested by Vexon@M*U*S*H
+ * Admin WHO and SESSION now includes unconnected descriptors. [SW]

+ * mix() can take more than 10 lists and of unequal length. [3,SW]
+ * iname() returns the name of an object from inside (honoring nameformat)
+ Idea by Jeffrey@TheHotel.
+ * lplayers() returns a list of players in the location. Handy for
+ room parents. By Vexon@M*U*S*H.
+ * lvplayers(), lvcon(), lvexits() are like lplayers/lcon/lexits, but
+ leave out dark things (and disconnected players). Handy for room
+ parents. By Vexon@M*U*S*H.
+ Minor Changes:
+ * munge() now passes its delimiter as %1 to make generic sorting easier. [SW]
+ * Word-based attribute compression is faster than before, for both
+ compression and decompression. [SW]
+ * Windows memory-usage information for wizards is now in @uptime, not
+ @stats [SW]
+ * Word-based attribute compression stats can be viewed on non-Windows
+ mushes as well, by defining COMP_STATS. See externs.h for details. [SW]
+ * Setting of the internal QUEUE and semaphore attributes does not modify
+ an object's last-modified timestamp. [SW]
+ * Speaking on a channel that you're gagging is now treated like
+ speaking on a channel that you're not on. Suggested by rodregis@M*U*S*H
+ * You can use @exitto in place of &DESTINATION to set the destinatino
+ for variable exits, though DESTINATION is checked first. [3]
+ * WATCHER is another name for the MONITOR flag. [3]
+ * max_guest_pennies and guest_paycheck config options. Inspired by [SW]
+ * Lock and unlock messages now show object name and dbref, and tell
+ you if you unlock an already unlocked object. Suggested by Jamie Warren.
+ * A version of portmsg for Win32 is in the win32 directory.
+ Donated by CU5@WCX
+ * Tweaks to info_slave, which now uses readv/writev. [SW]
+ * Lots of code cleanup. [SW]
+ * CHAT_SYSTEM, INFO_SLAVE, and FUNCTION_SIDE_EFFECTS are now #define'd
+ by default. [TAP]
