8074617285 Largely rewrote and refactored the help system.
The help entry database structure has changed! You have to resync or purge
your database or your will get problems!

New features:
* Help entry access now fully controlled by evennia permissions
* Categories for each help entry
* All entries are created dynamically, with a See also: footer calculated
  after the current state of the database.
* Indexes and topic list calculated on the fly (alphabetically/after category)
* Added auto-help help entries for all default commands.
* Only shows commands _actually implemented_ - MUX help db moved into 'MUX' category
  which is not shown by default.
* More powerful auto-help markup - supports categories and permissions (and inheritance).
* Global on/off switch for auto-help, when entering production
* Auto_help_override switch for selectively activating auto-help when developing
  new commands (like the old system).
* Refactored State help system; no more risk of overwriting global help entries.
* State help now defers to main help db when no match found; makes system more transparent.
* State help entries also support categories/permissions (state categories are not
  used much though).

Other updates:
* Added more commands to the batch processor
* Many bug-fixes.

a9dbac8aae - Made many small bugfixes to the @parent and @create functions as well as their underlying methods.
- Made it so user #1 is also affected by the on_player_creation() function.
- Added an event folder for custom events, including a working example
- Expanded the example commands and parents to include the changes to how they should be initialized.
- Added an optional ansi scheme (not active by default)

9d199032b0 Modifications to the @create and @parent commands, to safeguard against erroneous scriptlink names as well as allowing to define parent upon @creation. The @parent command calls at_object_creation(), seems that behaviour is the intuitive one. 2009-04-25 17:41:58 +00:00

2cc3d98810 @scriptcache is now just for displaying the contents of the script cache. After changing a script parent, you may now @reload/script to apply any changes. @reload with no arguments will now show you all of the possible switches. Also added an 'all' switch that will reload everything in one fell swoop. 2009-04-25 06:30:18 +00:00

df69011134 Working on getting command tables implemented on individual objects. It's probably not a good idea to update to this revision in a 'production' environment yet. 2009-01-30 03:28:41 +00:00

4ca5a4a7bf Revamp how commands are loaded. This will now allow for easy addition of custom commands and over-riding existing Evennia-supplied commands. 2009-01-27 15:21:15 +00:00

9407eb0ee4 Huge overhaul in the way objects and sessions are used with commands. We now pass all commands through objects (aside from unlogged commands), which means session.msg() is now deprecated for any use other than unlogged out.
As a side-effect of all of this, logging in more than once acts as behaves now. Also, this will allow things/rooms/exits (IE: not players) or un-logged in players to run commands or be forced to run them via @fo. All of this will bring us more in-line with MUX behavior.

9a166ba024 Moving script_parent to a field on the object model. This is critical enough to warrant it being there instead of in an attribute. Minor changes here and there.
NOTE: This update adds a field, delete your evennia.db3 or manually add a NOT NULL 'script_link' charfield(255).

bd3d195d5b Beginnings of @parent, the in-game tie-in for the scripting system. Can now list the currently cached scripts via @parent/showcache, and clear the cache via @parent/clearcache. 2008-12-16 03:36:49 +00:00
