alpha

0.7 is almost here. Many changes have been done, so I need to test it thorougly. It can't be put on production server just yet, because I expect it to be full of various unexpected errors. I usually test myself, but in order to speed up the development, I ask you to help me with it.

What changed ? A lot of under the hood stuff has changed, so it won't be that noticeable for you.
Major changes:

  • added API (sort of) to add custom quest elements and commands
  • completely changed how commands work
    • arguments consisting of multiple words have to be quoted now "like this" or 'like this', this includes everything (quest names, descriptions, etc...)
    • command flags (not to be mistaken with quest flags) were added, they start with - (dash) and always have single-letter names (like -d or -p), they are used to define true/false statements required by some commands, multiple flags can be gruoped together after a single dash (-dpks), they are used in commands like the one for explosion event where flag -d is used to determine if explosion should deal damage
  • reworked serialization system to make it easier for those who use API to add new elements and to make it simpler to add database support in the future (again :P)
  • per-player language setting (not 100% yet)
  • and many other structure changes

What needs to be tested ? Pretty much everything, however, elements (conditions, objectives, events) are major thing to test.

  • does every element do what it should ?
  • does every element save and load properly ? (this includes default values, handling incorrect values, etc..)
  • does every command work as it should ? (/q help will help)

You will also have to manually save everything with /q save. Message will say that profiles were saved, but it should also save quests.
