MUD Updates

Quite a big jump in versions!
Truckloads and truckloads of bug fixes, tweaking.
AI is now in a Okay for now state.
They can fight and flee, check their inventory and equip themselves.
Also (Surprise!) they can now build for you and with you.

The construction skill is functional but still requires bugfixing and tweaking.
As of now the speed of a player building is Much faster than a NPC and there's no real reason to it.
The messages also appear two or three times the actual need which is weird.

Limbs now have their own seperate health and I've added Brains and heart to the actual bodypart list.

Mud is now updated to 0.023
Started working on a Human AI
Added a lot of checks and functions to support it like deciding to fight or flee by comparing enemies against weapons and health.
Also added a weapon value comparison that checks if the weapon you have has more value to you (Skill + Weapon Value).
Those things will allow an NPC to properly equip itself so you can give it weapons and it can fight zombies without being
suicidal.

Mud has now updated to 0.022
Fixed a truckload of bugs
Rewrote Zombie AI to be a little more interesting.
Started work on the sound system
Tweaked Guns hit ratio and added proximity bonuses instead of only pointblank.
Made dual wielding melee weapons swing twice instead of a combined one.

Added a Monitor function to monitor rolls, AI Stuff and everything that could Bug or need tweaking.

Updated the mud to 0.021
the Script system skeleton is in place.
A lot of shit to add and tweak for a full campaign / mission but
it can now function and it's spawn character is already implemented.
I've made a small Graveyard map with spawning zombies.
Made me see how lacking the AI is.

Zombies should be attracted to sound and the living, otherwise stand still or shuffle around aimlessly.
I'm thinking of adding a few extras, a zombie getting a human target will moan hungrily, getting other zombies
to be attracted at a potential food source, thus try to follow the zombie.
Then, the elusive scent trail. Not sure how much of a memory/cpu hog this will be but I think it'd be a great addition.

Updated to 0.020
So I fixed the charmaker bug, means I pushed the CSheet back to its original priority.
However, SURPRISE! Trigger system is started.
For now 23 triggers each with conditions and actions.
Some of the planned stuff I'm going to have a hard time pulling off
but if I don't finish it now I'll just add a few like spawn npc for beta runs.

Updated to v0.019
Character Maker is done.
Still a bug or two I need to fix.
To fix them I must make a character sheet viewer in the clientside.
It was planned eventually but I guess it has to be the new priority..

Updated the mud to 0.018

Numerous bugfixes on the new stuff.
95% finished on the character maker.

Updated the mud to 0.017
Character creation is now at 90%
The only thing left is Metaphysics then a few tweaks here and there
to properly save the character and load it.

If anyone actually reads this forum, post about it so I know someone does heh.

Updated the mud to v0.016
Fixed the Doublesight bug and the Unconscious spam bug.
Online Character Creator is about halfway done.
Had to rewrite a lot of the logging on code but it will now put everyone in its proper processing spot.
Also updated the pfiles loading methods to a better alternative.

Currently, the mud is v0.015
I will post here the updates as it goes.
The next major priority is to include a runtime character creation.
The offline app can still be used to create one but will no longer be updated.
