The Cleft of Dimensions is constantly being updated, poked, prodded, and tweaked. To keep everyone informed of the various changes, the Immortals semi-regularly post Change Notes in-game. This page will copy those notes as well.

Changes 02 Jul 21

- fixed erroneous output when attempting to cast Extension on someone whose affects have already been extended - if you are fighting multiple mobs and your current target dies, you no longer "lose" a round of combat before auto-retargeting occurs - putting a corpse in a locker should no longer corrupt your inventory and crash the game when it decays, because now it won't fully decay while in the locker - getting money from a corpse/chest should no longer give glitch output - fixed MANY typos and color bleeds and stuff in areas (thanks ryrol) - fixed color bleeds after turning grats or ooc off/on (also thanks ryrol) - "niceguy" was implemented backwards actually, and afraid mobs might now actually flee again - life support is actually better when charged, now - bedit will now ACTUALLY save your changes when you exit the editor, instead of lying that it tried - new sector: Organic - player inventory items "stuck" inside non-containers somehow, will become automagically un-stuck at login

Changes 6-7-2021

ninjas no longer have a lower chance to flee than other classes, but instead are slightly better as intended
when Fling sticks a weapon into a foe, the line will be highlighted in yellow now
weight limitations to wielding weapons is correct again; ALL weapons were calculated as if they had featherweight applied, and featherweight weapons were calculated as if they did not

Changes 5-6-2021

The following skills are now affected by damroll:

For warriors:

iaido
hylian fencing's extra attacks
lunge
overpower
smash
hammerhand
riposte
ultra jump

For Thieves:

fling
(circle and backstab already got damroll benefits)

For Knights:

soulblade (both versions)
retort

For Dancers:

dance (when used offensively)
Self-hits from polka polka, masochism tango, or other sources of confusion, will now factor in the victim's own damroll, which generally makes these status affects more dangerous!

For people hanging on to weird skills:

aurablast
cadenza

Since the damage from these skills is nominally based on your weapon attacks, this will bring them more in line with expectations at high levels.

-Bea

Changes 5-5-2021

mystic weapons were not working correctly
attempting to send a tell while 'deaf' gives a more sensical error message
'moreviolence' is now a synonym for 'lessviolence'
your pets' kills will no longer ignore your lessviolence preference
healing spells wielded against the undead were double-dipping in magroll -- these will now generally do less damage if you have high magroll
healing spells' relationship with magroll was not subject to the normalization formula -- these will now generally do less healing if you have high magroll
rejuvenate and sarcosis healing were not affected by magroll at all; now they are!
flare star's afterdamage should no longer hit otherwise-unattackable mobs
fixed a bug where items would stop decaying... maybe

-Bea

New rset field "reset"

  Takes one of two arguments "room" and "area"
  'mob rset reset room' resets the room that the mob is currently in.
  'mob rset reset area' resets the area of the room the mob is currently in.

-Ozlynn

Changes 5-3-2021

Comet Punch Fluff

Comet punch now factors in strength, dexterity, hitroll and damroll. This is gated by a requirement that strength and dexterity are at 16 or higher.

  * Hitroll slightly boosts the chance for the first punch
  * Dexterity and hitroll slightly boosts the chance for additional hits
  * Strength and damroll have a chance to give bonuses to damage
  * Dexterity and hitroll determines the chances of the strength/damroll damage bonus.
  * Successful bonuses are indicated by an all-caps message.

Double Image Fluff

Double now factors in dexterity and speed(EG haste, slow, fast, frenzy).

  * Skill success slightly increases with a dexterity of 16 or higher (higher dexterity = higher chance bonus)
  * Skill success slightly increases with speed affects (and they stack) (Fast, Frenzy, Haste)
  * Skill success slightly diminishes with Slow (still offset by other speed affects and dexterity)
   * Chance of the double being the target is slightly boosted by dexterity, if it's 16 or higher
  * Chance of double remaining after having been the target is slightly boosted by dexterity, if its 16 or higher

Bloodsuck doesn't work on players for now because it's crashy.

--Ozlynn

Changes 5-1-2021

   sunstroke
   timewarp

   EG mob rset save

   useful for saving rset room descs etc

--Ozlynn

Changes 4-25-21

the Pick skill will not get 'stuck' on non-portal/container objects (e.g. "pick east" attempting to unlock an easter egg instead of the exit to the east)
new mobprog ifcheck recentdam, e.g. if recentdam $n > 4 (returns true if $a is greater than 4, whether set by awarded xp or mob damage)
turning the OOC channel off now also suppresses discord ooc messages, as intended

none-innate Jutsu's chance to blind is now based on the victim's Saves, not the user's (?!)
Ancient Power was applying extra combo targeting spuriously
Heat Metal now uses log2 instead of log10 for its damage potential, so it will generally deal much more

Changes 12-18-19

New Areas:
Gringey City, 16-20 is now linked and available. It is technically the first link to Shadmire's mainland. Hooray! You'll need to find a boat there. Look for passage from some of the islands near to it. (check the atlas!)
Milky Well, 16-20 is now linked and available. It should be pretty straight forward to find once you find Gringey City.
we know the links to these areas outlevel the intended area range for the areas. Shadmire is highly a work in progress, please bear with us :)!

Area changes:
Pinata Grove: Drop rates for gems has increased (exchange rates are the same).
There is now a more interesting reward available for turn in after completing all three reward tiers in the Pinata and Friends Reward Program, including a small change to the original rewards tiers.
Goreomemu Swamp: The Bog Witch's rotting lair of frustrating maze-death has seena significant overhaul, including but not limited to, increased amounts of and more interesting item drops, wealthier mobs, more experience gains, more fantastic attractions and quests, more interactive NPCs, more locations to find, more environmental consistency, and more straightforward hints about how to handle the wasteland.
The area was also increased in level range entirely from 61-70 to 71-75, and all mobs and bosses were made MUCH more difficult to balance out all these pleasant-sounding additions. Bring plenty of potions and come on by!

World:
Pinata Grove is no longer accessible via Oreyndur Forest. Its location has been moved more appropriately to Shadmire.

Item changes:
Piece of Heart, Piece of Mind, and (new!) Piece of Velocity items are all automated and limited to four exchanges per type, per life (16 pieces of each). Some older pieces may not work correctly. Please ask for an Immortal's assistance if this comes up. If you've already made exchanges this life and intend to cap out, please let an Immortal know so we can properly qflag you. (I already wrote a note about this, it's just a recap, thanks.)

!!! Weapons en masse have been tweaked.
Weapons will now more be more predictable in whether or not they will be good and more consistent in their damage based on their level. Shop weapons in regular towns are all more or less slightly worse than similarly leveled weapons from quests or drops. Weapons increase in their overall average damage as levels increase in a more reliable fashion. Some weapons that were meant to be terrible are still terrible.

A very large amount of weapons have been added to the game in low level ranges. There are plans to continue to add weapons where there are gaps in all level ranges but it takes awhile so I'm taking a small break.

Not proficient in short slashing? There are now (LEGENDARY) level 1 weapons for each weapon class! The mobs that are capable of dropping them have broadened. The drop rate was slightly increased to accommodate the fact that there is now a roulette of weapon types to roll through before you're able to get one you can actually use.

All weapons are candidates for having been altered. This includes increases or reductions in their damdice as well as alterations of stats. Many weapons in the level 30-40ish range were buffed significantly, this was one of the largest problem areas. Of particular note, the Truce Army Knife was very substantially buffed.

Some weapon shop changes have occurred:
- Alfador Isle weapons were increased from level 30 to 35 and buffed accordingly
- Tonoe weapons are now the 'level 30' weapons and were buffed because they were far too weak, even for shop weapons(this is reflected on the wiki so feel free to continue to send newbies over there for this information)

Note enchanted weapons would not have rolled over to the new stats. If you have very hard or impossible to get enchanted weapons that haven't updated, it would not be unreasonable to ask for me (cooper) to help you out. However, please restrict it to your items that can no longer be obtained, are highly altered, or are restrung or otherwise not as simple to replace as finding and enchanting a new one. I understand it is inconvenient to feel like you need to replace your weapons because now their damage is (MIGHT BE) higher, but I don't think I have the patience to help set 30 people's 30 different weapons each.

- Cooper

Changes 12-2-19

Earthquake now actually increases base damage when charged, and it has the cooldown it was always meant to have
Belfry pets are now act2 carrynone and can carry no objects at all
bugfix: Darkmatter won't cause bleeding if the caster has no blood (was: if the TARGET didn't have blood????)
a few spells of other classes can now be used to set up or complete a combospell:

 Ray/Ray of Truth (moon), Bramble (wood), Earthquake
 (earth), Firebreath (fire), Tsunami (water), Blam Gush (wind),
 Dins Fire (fire), Solarbeam (moon), Tornado (wind), Laser Beam
 (moon), Darkmatter (moon), Ink Blast (moon), Pearl (moon), Orb
 User (fire or wind), and Jutsu (any),

Some other spells would make sense to be comboable but will be harder to do... stand by
Retargeting Mobs affected by Sleep should no longer scream and attack
Bloodsucking mobs will not change your alignment anymore
moon-innate Jutsu now deals Light damage, not Energy

FOR BUILDERS:

$a and $B work as numerical arguments for even more ifchecks
$a, $B, $i, $n, $q, and $z work as STRING arguments for some checks

-Bea

Area Changes 11-13-2019

Areas:

Orbs of Escher - this area is available. The descs were written by AI and it was CoD's submission to NaMuBuMo. Enjoy!

Changes:

It is now no longer possible for your favorite randomly appearing mobs to be found inside player houses, the atlas, the Hikari no Matsuri festival, and most inaccessible places. This includes existing ones and any future ones for all events and purposes.
The undead/zombie/vampire status of mobs has been tinkered with. Any previously damageable-by-healing mobs that lack the "zombie" tag are HIGHLY LIKELY still damage-with-healing-able so don't worry, it is all an aesthetic change. HOWEVER many not-previously-zombies will become damage-with-healing-able if they appear undead (skeletons, ghosts). additionally, vampires should typically not be damage-with-healing-able.
Probably other stuff has happened I don't remember

love, cooper

Changes 11-10-2019

new skill: rebuke - applies Fear to an undead enemy with a high chance may also apply confuse or burn at high skill levels

area list sorted (thanks Ademisk)
when abbreviating commands, most communication commands (e.g., reply) outprioritze info commands (e.g., resist) & config commands (e.g., remove)
trance duration no longer easily stacked, but base duration slightly longer

For builders:

'discordutil cleanup' to unlink invalid (e.g., deleted) players from users

you can't Sneak past the wind stone's barrier anymore
updated elemental colors in 'score' to match new wiz spells
added color codes to damage in: earthquake, magic missile, halo, solarbeam, tsunami, bramble, dins fire, quezacotl's wrath, fumes, tornado, darkmatter, pearl, ink blast, cadenza, fulgor burst, laser beam, blam gush, surf, firebreath, and also anything that goes through damage_next()!!!! as these skills/spells are in fact also polarity-reversible.

 * I couldn't do star rain yet as spako_msg does not get the spell's actual damtype, just the skill# and dam amount

hp drain uses {rdark red now, mp drain uses {bdark blue
quartz guard deals earth damage now, not slash
thorn aegis deals wood damage, not piercing anymore

 * hailstone barrier already dealt cold and not bash lmao

FOR BUILDERS:

at your convenience, please update $a damage colors in your areas to comply with the updated 'help damage colors'. or, if you switch these progs to use damechos instead, you won't have to worry if the colors change, as 'mob damecho' has been forcibly made compliant on the back end!!! :)

-Bea

Changes 8-21-2019

the wizard class has been superseded. New characters choosing wizard will create 4th-generation wizards instead of 3rd-generation wizards and will be able to evolve into Archmages or Elementalists. Check helpfiles for details.

the Jumi core now provides a full heal, esuna, and increases max HP by 33%

-Bea

Changes 8-15-2019

unholy weapons deal evil damage now, not dark
the log no longer throws errors when players with items in their locker quit the game... maybe?
the bug report about 'prev' obj missing is back though! because i need to track down what causes/caused this
more blue magic useless skills

 * if you were actually using the old style [*****] bars...  let me know please... you madman!

fixed small memory leak involving pc corpses
fixed small memory leak involving pet corpses
Bash and Trip no longer knock down targets that are immune to bashing damage

'buy' with no argument redirects to 'list
added missing drops to hu lao gate mobs
Gastro Acid strips inhale and bloodsuck effects... oops! lol!!
'order' now passes any applicable lag to the mob's commander, but this also means that many 'order' applications are now faster for the commander!
'order all' will accumulate lag harmonically for each mob that gets ordered ex: ordering 5 mobs to 'zap' a wand will now give you 12/1 + 12/2 + 12/3 + 12/4 + 12/5 = 27 beats of lag

-Bea

Changes 8-10-2019

Attack Down tells you when it failed to be cast on you
area attacking mobs will area-attack every round as expected
fixed a memory leak involving room and area affects!!!
Flying Men disappear outside magicant again
visdeath madra ice field mobs no longer cast frost veil constantly, its just permanent room affects now

'dump' command shows memory data to you, and dumps the obj and mob files in a much more accessible location, as almost-correct html (104+ imm ability)
'mem' command reports accurate number of actual affects (previously was just number of obj template affects!!) also might report accurate number of alloacated strings..?
relatedly, memcheck accurately reports string creation now
mobexists vnum, mobexists #.vnum, objexists vnum, and objexists #.vnum are now LIGHTNING fast to execute
I have accordingly replaced most examples of mobexists (name) and objexists (name)! The remainders will be changed soon (?)

-Bea

Changes 8-8-2019

Gastro Acid in the inhale/blue magic list has been switched out for Acid Rain
the Bleed spell, Darkmatter, and the grizzly style super will no longer cause bleeding on characters without blood

all characters can now rescue and fallback as if they had both skills at 60%. knights and summoners will benefit from having the actual skills by performing rescues/fallbacks *reliably*.

FOR BUILDERS:

IMPORTANT!!! good work yall, keep it up

-Bea

Changes 8-7-2019

More CPU usage slimming...

get_obj_world() doesn't do pointless extra work
new funcs get_obj_world_faster() and get_char_world_faster()
new find_location_faster() calls the above

FOR BUILDERS:

in an effort to curb CPU usage, the mob commands transfer, spawn, goto, and at, and the ifchecks mobexists and objexists, now require exact keywords!! -- police your areas if you're worried
act flag AGGRESSIVE works now - should target a random PC, not more than 5 levels higher than the mob, chosen from an entire group entering the room at once - may be funky with portals
objexists works with #.vnum syntax though!!!
mobexists works with #.vnum syntax now too!!!!

I'm, of course, building stuff to but that's too banal to note here

-Bea

Changes 8-6-2019

Masochism Tango no longer applies pass door
Dying should no longer strip affect flags applied by equipment

FOR BUILDERS:

new variable $d, for random mob grouped with a player (charmie)
new variable $D, for random player-attackable mob or PKable player

* use this one for pets or offensive event items

new variable $h, for random player or charmie! like $r but broader
removed unused (but settable??) 'gravity' from areas
REMINDER: avoid using ordinal words like 'first', 'third', or the word 'other' in obj names, as this fouls targeting.

 * OLC will try to warn you if you do this

ANOTHER REMINDER: avoid using a name with the 'mobexists' ifcheck, as it is very CPU-intensive. vnums are strongly preferred, especially in frequently-called progs like fight or random!!!

 * wiznet's memcheck now pings when this happens

-Bea

Changes 8-4-2019

Laser Beam now costs 48mp to cast
For safety, Inhale no longer works on mobiles immune to Summon

%e in a prompt will show closed doors now too (ugly tho)
Weightless and uncounted items can be picked up, received, bought, and retrieved from lockers even at max capacity
Lasacul now has a local map

FOR BUILDERS:

as requested, area exflag COLD_WEATHER, changes weather messagest
after mob award exp scaled, $a can be used to echo actual xp awarded
added race and damtype to the mobs csv dump
added applies to the objs csv dump

Dancers won't get Read Magic, Esuna, or Dispel unless they evolve
Blind mobs will not "scream and attacks!" (assist/re-engage AI) unless flagged omnisight. blind mobs should aggro less often otherwise too
Heat Metal, Death Pact, Death Coil, Intimidate, Inflame, Detect Alignment, Transfusion, Abundance, Smite, Nurse, Regen, Evil Eye, Jutsu's blind, and Skeleton Crew and Resurrect's HP bonus, respect the spell's actual cast level and not the caster's character level
Event-using potions, pills, and scrolls, will no longer show fake info about their nonexistent spells' level
the %e prompt variable now says 'none' in rooms with no visible exits, like it was always supposed to
You should no longer get "wears on head" type messages if equipment didn't actually get worn!

FOR BUILDERS:

'mob damecho' works again
greet progs will not trigger for blind mobs unless omnisight! you could already 'sneak' past these progs so this shouldnt break anything tbh

for builders:

Farore's Wind spell, like Exit but can teleport between areas

-Bea

Changes 7-23-19

the Confuse spell is no longer a synonym for Charm, but rather for Confusion (the one that makes u hit urself)

scarecrows may no longer enter portals
sneaking through a portal shows "you enter suchandsuch" again
helpfiles exist for every spell you may find on an item now
jumi cores no longer fill a neck slot, but use a new 'core' slot
- jumi players: contact an immortal for help fixing yourself

FOR BUILDERS:

new portal flag "send_vehicle", which does what you expect
portal flag normal_exit works again (only affects echoes)
jumi NPCs can also wear jumi cores with a little effort: they must 'mob oload 24 0 w' and then oset its short desc.

-Bea

Changes 7-19-19

MORE tweaks to blue magic/vampire
to reduce spam, blue magic affects won't show up in 'report affects'
As requested, curse will no longer affect nodestroy items
Fixed a typo when none-innate Jutsu blinds the target

For Builders:

Exit and Exall triggers can take the 'all' argument to check all 10 directions simultaneously.
Hour triggers can take the 'all' argument to execute every in-game hour, or about every minute. This may be useful for less CPU-intensive mobprogs.
putting the 'norecharge' flag on a light will make it unable to be recharged with the Phlogiston spell

-Bea

Expellian's LONG AWAITED move has been made and it is no longer connected via a Humbolt Island pipe.

Zigolis Swamp has current location indicators (more or less) on its local map (when using ProjTuna)!
There are more dumpsters around the Cleft in towns with a small chance at a pointless easter egg when you actually use them to put junk into.

-TWEAKS- EXP

** Mist Cave trash mobs have had their exp lowered to standard.
** Bosses in expellian have had their exp increased (and give additional exp on first kill.)
** Jiufen Valley has seen exp increases.
** Certain, otherwordly parts of Kakariko Village have seen exp increases.

DIFFICULTY

** The physical fitness hiring standards for ShinRa guards have been SLIGHTLY reduced.
** Malakian Monks and Rafalian Priestesses will no longer stand idly by while you murder their brethren (sometimes?).

Area Changes and Note 6-16-19

NEW AREAS:

- Pinata Grove is available, visit at any level!
- The town of Onrac and its Sunken Shrine are accessible to those who obtained an Aquamarine Scale during the Easter 2019 event.  For those who haven't, it will become available again in the future.

WORLD:

- Battlefields are springing up around the Cleft.  Two are currently available, one in Truce Canyon and one in Alfador Isle.
- Kupimo can be found as a roaming world mob, randomly appearing in any location. He is a Materia Merchant who sells both common and exclusive Materia to those who can find him.
- The Feymarch has been relocated from its previous, temporary home to its new, probably-permanent home.
- A hidden place has had a small expansion.
- Several newbie areas outside of Truce have had small additions.

TWEAKS:

- Some busted mobprogs were fixed in McNeil woods, and some new loot can be obtained both there and in the Veldt.
- A couple mobs drop a few new things of low consenquence.
- Sectors have been tinkered with all around the world and will continue to, most likely not affecting anyone except geomancers.

A full scale, colored version of the atlas as it appears in game has been uploaded onto our Wiki and is publicly available. Feel free to use it as you wish! There is an "Atlas" page on the Wiki where the picture is featured. Anyone who feels like there could be more information on the "Atlas" page can feel free to contribute to it. This is intentionally as accessible as possible as a resource for our players. Please note that not everything featured on Shadmire is built yet.

Please note there may be various signs around the world pointing out new paths that are currently unavailable. These are not secret quest hints, but literally paths that are not yet ready for release. Feel free to take note of their locations for easier finding of new features and areas in the future!

Finally, the staff intends to correct power creep that has been manifesting in various ways in the game. Over the coming months, expect various changes that make the game easy to start, gradually become more difficult, and require some amount of determination to reach max level. We want to reward questing and exploring. Our puzzles, detailed areas, interactivity, and quests will remain our focus.

LOVE, YOUR PAL COOPER

Changes 6-7/8/15-19

Sealed Cave has been returned to a different location.

Changes 2-10-2019

Changes 1-31-2019

First pass on Priest rework

Detect Alignment is back in, working as you'd expect.

Mend and Vitalize tweaked; spell targets of same alignment and NOT the caster grant a chance to return mana or heal for more(Vitalize also has a chance to reduce cooldown). Chances

based on Wisdom.

Mend no longer has a blackhole for practices.

Ray of Truth tweaked; damage has a chance to scale when targeting opposite align from the caster, with another chance for half cooldown. Both chances based on Wisdom.

Judgment tweaked; Chances(still based on Wisdom) that when used on opposite align from the caster that there may be a mana return, cooldown halved, and/or extra buff pulses.

Bless tweaked when cast on objects; Chances(Wisdom AND good align based) to apply more diverse bonuses dependent on object's wear location(eg feet).

Curse massively tweaked:
Curse can now be cast on objects, casting curse on weapons or armor will cause the following:

  1) Perishable, cursed, nouncurse
  2) Cost/value of the object will be reduced to 0
  3.A) Condition of the object will be reduced by 2/3rds
  3.B) Condition cuts can be negated some, determined by wisdom

Cursed weapons will receive the following:

  1) The first die on the weapons damage dice gets a 50% boost
  2) If there are enchantments, the enchant count gets a 33% boost

Cursed armor will receive the following:

  1) The armor stats get a 50% boost across the board
  2) The armor gets a saves boost, the amount is determined by wisdom

Curse casted on any other object just adds 1 magroll or damroll for now
Curse casted on a non-object-target no longer has a set 30 armor penalty
Curse armor penalty is determined by wisdom

Smite reworked; Casting Smite while BLESSED causes it to work in reverse of normal, Casting Smite while the target is CURSED does more damage the closer you are to their hp %.

Legacy Spells have been adjusted:

Fira, Bizzara, and Thundara have increased mana costs.
Firaga, Blizzaga, and Thundaga have increased mana costs AND a cooldown.

Changes 1-23-2019

When given a unique item you already own or already have in your locker, it will tell you the item specifically, instead of just "you already own that"

Angel Whisper now does 1/8th damage to undead's CURRENT health instead of their max health

The Koi Pond in Hikari no Matsuri is now community-friendly! Everyone can now fish from one pond! Talk to the stall tenant for a small update on the mechanics change involved!

2018 Change Notes

Changes 10-21-2018

Items flagged 'noexplode' will no longer prevent charges being used with WIS scores of 20+.

Decaying items no longer corrupt lockers, instead going down to 1 Condition and then stopping until they are removed, whereupon they will resume decaying.

Unique items are now unique between a player and their locker (no more doubling up!).

The random "your weakens" message for some effects when casting Esuna has been fixed.

The 'Angel Whisper' spell is longer staffify-able.

CHARMIES (not permanent pets) can no longer interact (pick up, give, etc.) with Unique items.

The echoes for a scroll going off twice has been given a space, so it looks less crammed.

Odd bug ('lololo 2568 lol5') in the log has been fixed.

We apologize if some of these fixes/changes/updates hamper the difficulty of certain playstyles going forward, but please understand that they were considered at length and administered to combat exploits and unintended practices. You guys are awesome though, you'll figure out a way to keep going at full speed!

-Benamas

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

"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

'rod' and 'event' type items will display their current cooldown time when Scan'd/examine'd

- 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!

Changes 6-15-2017

for builders:

new exit flag 'nomob'

for me:

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 3-29-2016

Various other changes have went in, but here are the highlights:

Added affected2 if check eg. If affected2 focus
Added fast affect2 flag (works like the fast vehicle flag)
Added 'quicken spell' (applies fast)

Changes 1-20-2016

New mob commands:

  mset          - See 'help set' for details
  oset          - This isn't actually new but more has been added to it, see 'help set'
  mforce        - Allows players to execute mob commands without the use of an event item. (ie mob mforce $n mob cast fireball)
  mob face name - Mobs change their name tags

New Variables:

  $A            - Same as $o, without quotes around name tags
  $b            - Mob's remember target's race
