These are the release notes for Well of Souls Version A92
---------------
CHANGES FOR THIS RELEASE

* COMPATIBILITY: Excellent!

* MIX v1.21

This version tries to auto-detect if you have firewall/router/port forwarding issues and puts up some helpful little message with info which might (or might not) help you resolve the problem.

* New World Config.ini: petsCanBitePeople

This has to be set to 1 (the default) or pets cannot bite people in your world. Ever. Evergreen sets this to zero. No more pets biting people. at all. on any map.

* New World Config.ini:maxUnSpentPP

This defines how much PP a character can have 'in their pocket' Any PP earned in excess of that is lost. Evergreen defaults to 40K PP max. If you do NOT set this, it defaults to 1 million. If your world needs more (say you have a quest that requires accumulating ten million PP), you will need to add this variable to your config.ini, or your quest will be broken until you do.

* New world config: maxPKAttackAdvantage

This defaults to 80 in old worlds, and is set to 10 in Evergreen. It prevents you from INITIATING a PK attack on another player more than this many levels below you. If you set it negative, then you could only INITIATE attacks on people that many levels ABOVE you. Weird, but maybe someone will like that.

* New World Config: worldHomeUrl

Set this to a url which describes your world, and then a button will appear "world home" on the servername area of the main splitter bar. The idea is to advertise your world, ladders, contests, whatever.

* New server rule "url"

as in: maxAFK=10, url=http://mypage.com

When present, this adds a "server home" button to the main splitter bar. The idea here is to have a home page for your MIX server, where you can talk about what your philosophy of servitude might be.

* New Book of Options Option

Improves quality of JPEG map and SCENE images (at least those used by evergreen or any other world that uses very small images to save on download. Improvement is negligible for jpegs which were already high resolution)

* More anti-hacking measures, as usual. In general, the punishment for getting caught hacking is increased. Sorry for any false triggers.

* More Stuff.. UNfortunately I didn't document a lot of my puttering over the last few months, so some changes might come as a surprise to both of us [Smile]
