News from Sidalicia

The following is a copy of the Sidalician Picayune, which is the Mud Newspaper. This paper usually carries notices of coding changes, and other things affecting a player's life, and should be read often.

THE SIDALICIAN PICAYUNE!!!!

Where only the little stupid stuff is considered!

1 Feb 2002
Fixed a pesky and old bug that caused spammy stuff to crash the mud. Yea, go me!

29 Jan 2002
New spell in for very low levels, magic needle. This is an 'innate' spell that everyone gets at level 1, much like the skill barehand. Should help out magic using types of players.

16 Jan 2002
Fixed that pesky quest bug. I'm interested in knowing what people thing about adding different quest rewards (mostly for specific quests not general ones) such as god points? special skills/spells? special eq? Please post to suggestion board about it.

7 Jan 2002
More changes to the arena, battle code. Also a few other stray 'bugs' fixed, nothing dire. The arena zone has been upgraded and colored, only a few spec procs are left to finish it.

6 Jan 2002
New command and facility in. Read about it in 'help battle'. Morts can start one of the battle types, the basic type. This is new, unique code, so I hope you will all help me out with testing and bug reports.

30 Dec 2001
'Boards' command is now available to mortals. Please report any bugs to yours truly.

29 Dec 2001
New command is in, 'boards'. Only for imms at the minute, it will be migrated to morts shortly.

27 Dec 2001
Struther is back, with a little Sashka! Congrats to him and his wife on the birth of their baby :).
Three new zones are in. Two are part of the Dragon Sea, you'll need to be in the middle level range in order to do more than sightsee there. Another is the road/area east of Draconia. You get there through the east gate (doh). The last one hasn't mobs yet, they will be coming soon.
In keeping with the nautical theme, we now have mobs which are only water mobs. Enjoy playing with them.

02 Dec 2001
New command called 'ignore' in. Use it to ignore tells from people you are bothered by. Note, it won't work on imms. New sector type in, 'beach'. New zones are coming, yes, they involve beaches.
Finally Chess is in. Get an imm to load you a chess board. You need an opponent, of course. The basic commands are look board, setup, join, move. You can also type look rules, to see the rules.
