'indoor' vehicle

-Lilly
*the 'cactus stool' made by a level 0 Mokuton no longer WORSENS regeneration.

*shopkeepers now *clone* objects when selling them, instead of making new ones.
**this means infinite 'inventory' objects can be modified or restrung  while still in the keeper's inventory, and the changes will now propagate to the bought copy.
*plus some other changes i probably forgot


-Benamas
* pixel art graphics have been added to Viorar, Suburbia, and Rabite Forest
 
(see previous change note for details)
 
* bug fixed where closed containers couldn't be picked up without 'get all'
== Changes 12-30-2017 ==

== Changes 12-29-2017 ==
== Truce has some graphics (11 Jan 2024) ==
*Magroll is now percentage-based: 1 magroll is now equivalent to 1% more damage when casting a spell that deals damage.  Builders, keep this in mind going forward when/if adding Magroll to items!  Healing is also slated to be affected by this as well, but is not yet.


== Changes 12-27-2017 ==
First, use Mudlet.
* "MAGROLL" is a thing now. It applies a flat damage bonus to most spells and damaging affects. There will be some exceptions (base Summoner spells), and there will be some instances where magroll has an exaggerated effect (multi- hit spells like Rainbow). Some builds will be better, some won't be affected, but none should take a nerf from this. Regardless, we're in uncharted territory!
* Characters receive a bonus to Magroll similar to how Strength affects Damroll in practice, this is going to be about... 5 magroll for most casters
* Builders can put Magroll on mobs and items (replaced previously nonfunctional bonus to saves vs paralysis?) -- use this sparingly, as you did damroll!!!
* Bleeding damage now caps at level*3 per round so megabosses don't drain dry for thousands of damage per round
* Enchant Weapon's effect with Damroll has been readjusted up to 15%. More tweaking possible pending smoothing out Magroll.


== Changes 12-23-2017 ==
Second, install the latest Cleft of Dimensions package. It should automatically
* any potential mob with vnum 3708 will be able to attack now (weird stock bug)
update itself on login, but it's also available at
* many abilities no longer penetrate the Shell affect
https://cleftofdimensions.net/clients/cleftofdimensions.mpackage.
* 'rod' and 'event' type items will display their current cooldown time when Scan'd/examine'd
* enchanted weapons were having their damage bonus DOUBLED -- this has been corrected from 20% extra damroll per enchant to 10%
** this seems like a nerf but check out the helpfile -- it was only SUPPOSED to be 5%
* giga drain's mp cost cut by 1/3
* vampires only regenerate 1hp/pulse while exposed to sunlight
* plus other changes I've forgotten!


Third, type "pixelart" to toggle the pixel art setting on and off.


== Changes 6-15-2017 ==
Fourth, look at NPCs in Truce!
UPDATES:
*Pip will refresh his inventory every day even when players are away.
*Flameshe and the pumpkinhead butler will now not accept items (for now)
*Electrical barrier seems to be working correctly.
*Aisu's door is two-way.
*El Nido quest list fixed
*Vehicle loss in quest rooms: There isn't really a good solution that doesn't involve revamping how vehicles work.
*Kiki responds to Elazul when appropriate.
*The certain Gypsy Camp quest has the appropriate story prerequisites now.


Viorar's next.


== Changes 6-04-2017 ==
- MTS
* added 'glance' command to show only room name, exits, and contents when 'brief' is on
* re-added 'exits' command -- beware of fake room names (re: mobprog trickery)
* re-added 'resistances' command -- shows a short version when 'brief' mode is on
* fixed a problem involving mobs with vampirism and the haunt affect which probably broke a bunch of other things too


for builders:
* new exit flag 'nomob'


for me:
= 2023 Change Notes =
* cleared various compile warnings
* prototype "who's online" webpage cod.mudmagic.com/who.htm -- for now, only updates when a staff member types 'who2'


--Ben
== Changes 13 Jun 23 ==
- shield slam no longer removes your shield, but halves your shield block chance for a round or so after using
- shield slam receives a damage bonus proportional to the amount of AC your shield grants
- retort can now be used without blocking first, but with quadruple lag time (16 beats vs 4)
- lionhearted and brinksmanship should deliberately ignore any extra CURRENT hp from courage
- indomitable should ignore extra MAX hp from courage
- if practiced above 60%, endure will now automatically trigger upon lethal damage, but with triple the already-high cooldown
- since it makes saves useless, zeal now gives a physical damage bonus proportional to half your saves bonus when active


== Changes 3-29-2016 ==
- ninjas' flee bonus was incorrectly being given to merchants instead
Various other changes have went in, but here are the highlights:


*oset is finished off with using flag names (vs their numerical value) in the value(0-4) slots, where needed. (the imm command 'set obj' has been updated to do the same)
-Bea

*Added affected2 if check eg. If affected2 focus
