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.
/Griatch
- changed @chperm to @setperm to avoid confusion with channel commands
- added @setgroup command for adding user group permissions
- Moved permissions/group setup into settings file to allow admins to tweak without going into evennia engine.
- Add all new players to default permission group (defined in settings)
- Defined a basic group hierarchy, removed permission 'genperms.builder' in favour of a group named builders instead, containing all relevant permissions.
- Filtered out all django's automatic permissions in @setperm/list to make permission system more controlled by admin.
- Probably fixed bug that caused new users to not be signed up to channels (more testing needed)
- Added Exception handler in unloggedin method create, this was killing tracebacks upon user creation.
/Griatch
Added some more helper commands and changed a bit under the hood on those
previously committed for mapping irc/imc channels to each other.
There seems to be an issue with IMC2 users seeing an echo back to themselves when talking. Investigating.
/Griatch
@service/list will show you the service names. If you see that your IMC has died due to an error, @service/start IMC2 will get it up and running again. I've also added an 'imcstatus' command to show more detailed information about your IMC2 connection.
* Added the automatic cleaning/pruning code to weed out entries that are probably disconnected.
* Added 'imcwhois <player>' command. Still needs some sanitizing on the outgoing string.
* Added the beginnings of a -reply packet handler through reply_listener.py.
* Fleshed out a few more packets in packets.py.
Next up: Make the ANSI system a little more modular. Create a class for ANSI tables so developers can pick and choose different tables on their own, but keep the same API. This will be used so we don't have to copy/paste src/ansi.py to src/imc2/ansi.py and duplicate stuff.
