You can no longer get tokens via <bio quests request tokens>. Hunt your shifters!

<vote> and <vote social> are in. Notification to remind people to vote on mudlistings is in on login too. Logout message had been changed, too.
Blame Titania for suggesting these things.

You will no longer see wear messages on login, but you'll still have all your items worn in order they were worn on the last log-out.
After nex driver restart you will no longer see un-wear messages on logout.

[odin]

All martial polearms (i.e. non-spears) have been standardized to do 3d4/x3 damage. Most all of them are slashing (including the type you can craft), but a couple are piercing.

[ilmarinen]

Exhume corpses spell is in, which covers plethora of corpse managing spells from srds.
This one simply summons corpses to the caster.
Clerical necromancy that deals with animating undead is complete. Mages will get just one more spell and I'll move to something else.

[ilmarinen]

Hints are in. Type <set hints off> to disable.

[ilmarinen]

<set> consolidates some settings and envs.

[ilmarinen]

Mysterious tax formula is gone. Your tax percentile should be seen in <set> command and can be manipulated through it.
You get 50% tax below level 20 and (50+50*level/60)% tax above that level. You can increase it with <set>.
As always, blame Vaser for this change.

[yves]

Avatars - A new command <assmark> is available to you that will allow you to set a varying number of assassin marks on a player. See <help assmark> for more details.

Players - You might want to think twice before slaughtering all those town guards

Both use eh hash-based random descriptions now.

[ilmarinen]

[ilmarinen]

Shapechange spell is in. Forms available: dragon, demon, golem.
Check spell description for details.
There are some minor things to how shapeshifting is now treated.
Yuan-ti viper form is no longer considered to be druidic, as in srds its psionic. I think you can cast spells in it. Spellcasting sneiks!

[ilmarinen]

Earlier I removed verboten daemon -- A daemon that forced logging on everything said if someone used "icq" in direct speech.

[ilmarinen]

Polymorph self

[ilmarinen]

Doxygen implemented at https://shadowgate.org/doxygen/html , /d and /realms are excluded.
Wizzes are expected to utilize it and write sensible comments now (when it is appliable).
Lib documentation will be sloooowly covered in doxygen, although surprisingly there are not that many functions to cover.

[ilmarinen]

Multiclass restrictions are now based eiter on race, alignment, or element of the mechanics of specific class.
What that means you can now multiclass such combinations as palrogues, sorclocks, palrangers, psyladins and others.
Classes that cannot multiclass with each other for now are: sorc, mage, psion, psywarrior.

[ilmarinen]

Alt reality devices are now dispensed through a slot in space gnome wagons.

[ilmarinen]

Some new additions in tsh.c, check <help prompt>

[ilmarinen]

Syntax for devices is: <retrieve device [with gold|mats]>. Go to wagon, look at it. The reward can't be changed on the fly anymore because bugs.

[ilmarinen]

Mage school bonus and penalty is now equal untill someone implements PF system for spell slots.
Archmage's school familiarity now gives penalty to opposing school. The overall bonus/penalty range had been increased for this feat.
Blame Ramius for these changes.

[ilmarinen]

Any command imm types into the mud is now unconditionally logged.
These logs are free for other imms to review.
This includes says and tells, so expect no privacy there if you're an imm. Use mails or discord if you want to chat, or login a PC.

[ilmarinen]

I added <avlog> command to avatars+ so they can review activity of other imms and each other.
Just type <avlog ilmarinen> to see what i've been up to, for example.

[ilmarinen]

Paladin, ranger, cleric, druid, mages spells can now be found on scrolls.
Your spellcraft skills directly translates into scroll clevel.
Any class can use any scroll. The ability to use scroll without them exploding into your face and killing you depends on you spellcraft skill rolled against scroll spell level*3 (scribed scrolls are always safe).

[ilmarinen]

Common vendors will now spawn 2-3 scrolls, you won't be able to transcribe them, though.

[ilmarinen]

You can use scrolls without knowing what's on them...
