• btechmux development in BitKeeper

  It actually happened two years ago, but I might as well announce it 'for real' here; development of the btechmux source (by me, at least) now happens in BitKeeper (www.bitmover.com). I try to keep the sourceforge CVS tree reasonably up to date, although this week has been the first week in a while that I've had the time for it. I still accept patches as diffs against the CVS tree (accepting patches is actually a lot easier with BitKeeper) but if you want up to date source or develop a lot of your own code, I can highly recommend using the BitKeeper repository. BitKeeper allows for much better parallel development. You can fetch the btechmux BK repositories from bkbits.net: bk clone http://btechmux.bkbits.net/btechmux-stable or the unstable branch: bk clone http://btechmux.bkbits.net/btechmux If you want to submit BitKeeper patchsets for inclusion in the stable branch, please develop them against the stable branch (not the unstable branch.)

• btechmux 1.4.4 released

  After more than two years, a new release in the stable branch. The development branch contains lots of code by Cord Awtry, in particular MaxTech terrain and weather, and MechWarrior 3rd edition skillsets, but it isn't ready for release yet. See the release notes and changelog of the 1.4.4 release for more information on what changed in the last two years.

• btechmux 1.4.4 file released: btechmux-1.4.4.tar.gz

  btechmux 1.4.4: (All changes by Focus unless noted otherwise) - New MUX functionality: * Don't show players set UNFINDABLE in the hardcoded WHO. * Added 'opaque' and 'transparent' channel settings. opaque channels do not show people set UNFINDABLE on 'who', transparent channels do (like before.) * Port the %cu colour code, for underline, from Stephen Dennis's TinyMUX2. * Allow exits to be @teleported, since you can pick them up and drop them as well. * Remove *ridiculous* filedescriptor caching code that wanted to use fd 0 for all file operations. It interferes with debugging tools, and it serves no use that I can imagine, other than not requiring open()s and close()s to match. - New btech functionality: * Mace code contributed by Brian Stamper. * Show 'DUG IN' and 'DIGGING IN' on scan/status, contributed by Greg Taylor * Supercharger code contributed by Brian Stamper * Add new 'status' flag to MECH objects, 'j', which disallows movement without messing with the unit's speed (for EVs and such) * Emit DS deaths, takeoffs, landings and map exit/enter events to the DSInfo channel, rather than the MechDebugInfo channel. This breaks scode that relies on it being on MechDebugInfo! * Have searchlights illuminate terrain on DARK maps properly * Have clairvoyant units always see all terrain on DARK maps * Treat seismic contacts as enemy contacts always * ATTACHCABLES, allow units with hands to tow if a unit with hands (or a disembarked MechWarrior) attaches cables * Break towing cables on a rear hit on non-SALVAGE_TECH units * On DARK maps and los-tacticals, have fires and jellied units illuminate their surrounding hexes, instead of blocking LoS. * Calculate weight in 1024th-tons instead of 100th-tons, making Clan MachineGuns weigh the correct amount. * Use the 'real' weight of a unit (subtracting for lost ammo, armor and limbs) for DFA (like towing already did.) * Controlled by the WEIGHT_OVERSPEED define in btconfig.h, allow units to exceed their maximum speed when they lose weight. * Don't allow 'Mechs to run in water. Mechs running into water make a higher roll to stay standing and get more damage on fall. * Don't allow disembarked MechWarriors to embark a unit with a dysfunctional cockpit * On disembark/eject/autoeject, copy freqs and modes (but not titles) from the 'mech to the disembarked MechWarrior (controlled by the COPY_CHANS_ON_EJECT #define) * On disembark/eject/autoeject, give the MechWarrior a random frequency (controlled by the RANDOM_CHAN_ON_EJECT #define) * Log 0-freqs on IC maps to the ZeroFrequencies channel * MaxTech based stagger code, if enabled with @admin btech_newstagger. Roll for stagger once a turn, but modified by the amount of damage done in the turn. Also add stagger checks during/right before jumps. * Fix BTH speed modifiers over 10MP to be BMR FASA standard, or MaxTech FASA standard if @admin btech_Extendedmovemod is used. * Update the unit template database with 3030's, includes a lot of weight glitchfixes and cleans up the customs. * Rewrite and document internal 'real coord to hex coord' and vice-versa code. Same algorithm, just a more obvious implementation and lots of explanation. * Rewrite navigate to draw 'mech locations more accurately, based on a grid instead of angle-and-distance-to-centre. * Add a sixth (optional) argument to the @mapvis attribute on maps: a message to broadcast to all units on the map when the changes take actual effect. * Make heatcutoff slightly less munchy by only disabling whole (single or double) heatsinks, and only one heatsink per tick * Don't insta-re-enable heatsinks when disabling heatcutoff * List 'TSM(On)' and 'TSM(Off)' on status, not just colours. * Conform super-heavy engine weights (rating above 400) to conform to FASA MaxTech. * Add weight-based variable armor diagrams; different pictures for light, medium, heavy and assault units. Contributed by C.W. Glover, and controlled by the WEIGHTVARIABLE_STATUS #define. * Optionally let OBSERVATORIC units have ObservationLounge-like radio behaviour: hear everything, regardless of frequency. Contributed by an anonymous person and controlled by the OBSERVATORIC_OL_RADIO #define. * Optionally have less severe stacking. @admin btech_stacking now means: 0: no stacking punishment what so ever 1: a stacking 'mech stops suddenly, and has to make a pilot roll modified by the number of units in the stack. 2: involuntary charge by the stacking 'mech (default, and unchanged.) * Make damage done in case of stacking option 2 configurable. btech_stackdamage is a percentage of damage to apply, defaulting to 100. * Fix the provided MechWarrior template to have short radio and tactical ranges, as well as no digital radio. * Optionally always let MechWarriors have LOSMaps only; controlled by @admin btech_mw_losmap (defaults to on) * Add Silicon as commodity type, next to Sillicon to avoid breakage * New 'mechprefs' command, consolidating a set of 'settings': - Convert old 'weapon safeties' to 'MWSafety' mechpref (on by default) - FFSafety: like MWSafety but for friendly fire (off by default) - SLWarn: warn when lit by searchlight (off by default) - ArmorWarn: warn when armor is low/critical/breached (on by default) - AmmoWarn: warn when ammo is low (on by default) - AutoFall: don't try to stop when hitting a cliff (off by default) - AutoconShutdown: See shutdown units on autocon (off by default) * Add 'stand check', to display BTH to stand * Add 'stand anyway', to stand regardless of BTH * Make 'stand' not try and stand when BTH exceeds 12 * Make VRT more easily configurable, by providing just the times for the various weapons in a separate include file. Customization can be easily done by adding your own include file. * Skip sections that have no internals, when calculating weight, to avoid broken temlates with 'phantom' sections. * Add 'c' flag to 'lrs', for 'colorized elevations', which shows elevations but colorized by actual terrain type. * Add 'navigate <target>' and 'navigate <bearing> <range>', mimicking lrs and tactical. Maximum range is that of tactical. * Add 'tactical b', showing valid DropShip LZ's * Add 'checklz x y' to checklz, to check hexes other than the current one. Maximum range is that of tactical. * Allow @mapcolor attributes to be set to shorter strings than the maximum, padding it with the defaults. * Add 'valid LZ' and 'invalid LZ' color characters to @mapcolor, default bright green and bright red. * Protect some xcodevalues from being changed, particularly ones that could cause memory corruption when changed incorrectly New scode functions: * cemit(<channel>, <message>) Mimick @cemit from scode. * setlock(<type>, <object>/<attribute>, <lock>) Mimick @lock/<type> <object>/<attribute> = <lock>. For @lock without /type, set <type> to 'defaultlock' or the empty string. <attribute> may be empty, as well. * btpartmatch(<string>) Wildcard-match in long-name parts database (like addstuff does) and return a part number. * btpartname(<partnumber>, <which>) Turn a partnumber into a name. <which> is 'short', 'long' or 'vlong' depending on which name you want. * bthexlosbroadcast(map, x, y, msg) Broadcast a message to all units within Line of Sight of hex (x,y). In the message, '$h' is replaced by the hex (x,y), or the string 'your hex' for units in that hex. '$H' is replaced by the same, but the (x,y) is in bright yellow and units in the hex get a bright red 'YOUR HEX' instead. * btmakepilotroll(<mech>, <rollmod>, <dammod>) Force <mech> to make a pilotroll, with <rollmod> penalty. On failure, the unit falls over (with <dammod> as 'number of levels fallen'). Returns 0 on failure and 1 on success. * btgetreftech(<ref>) list the 'tech' used in mechref <ref>, like 'showtech' in MECHREP objects. * btgetdbreffromid(<mech or map>, <mechid>) Get dbref of <mechid> relative to <mech>, if it is in LoS, or from <map> directly. * btlostohex(<mech>, <x>, <y>) Return whether <mech> has LoS to <x>,<y> * btlostomech(<mech>, <other>) Return whether <mech> has LoS to <other>. Both should be dbrefs, not mechids. * btaddparts(<location>, <partname>, <amount>) Add <amount> <partnames> to <location>. Wildcards are accepted but only the first match will get added. * btloadmech(<object>, <mechref>) Load new <mechref> onto <object>, as if done through a MECHREP object and 'loadnew'. Returns success/failure. * btloadmap(<object>, <mapname> [, <clearmechs>]) Load new map <mapname> on <object>, and clear mechs if <clearmechs> is passed and true. Return success/failure. * btmechfreqs(<mech>) Return a comma-separated list of frequencies set in mech, with title and modes, in the format: <channum> | <freq> | <flags> | <colour> where <channum> starts at 1, <freq> is the actual frequency set, <colour> is the colour setting for the channel (a capital meaning bold) and <flags> is a bitvector of: a: set digital b: set muted c: set relay d: set info e: set scan comtitles are not returned because of escaping issues. * Make second argument to btstores() optional. When just passed a location, show all parts of that location in a |-separated list of partname:amount pairs. * New 'sensorflags' xcodevalue for map objects, to indicate sensors that are not usable on the map. A bitvector string, where the letters mean: a: Visual b: Light Amp c: Infrared d: Electromagnetic e: Seismic f: Radar g: Beagle Active Probe h: Bloodhound Active Probe * New 'mapflags' for maps: g: bridges are CombatSafe h: do not convert road to bridges on loading of map * New radiotype value, 128, indicates the radio can't do digital transmissions. Set in the MechWarrior template to disallow MWs to do digital radio. * New 'mechjumpspeed' xcodevalue for 'Mechs: jumpspeed in kph, which is also the range. * New 'mechjumpheading' xcodevalue for 'Mechs: heading of current jump * New 'jumprange' xcodevalue for 'Mechs: range of the current jump in 322.5th of a hex. * Add 'mechprefs' xcodevalue to 'Mechs: a: MWSafety is off b: SLWarn is on c: Autofall is on d: ArmorWarn is off e: AmmoWarn is off f: unused g: AutoconShutdown is on h: FFSafety is off MUX code bugs: * rewrite and(), or(), xor(), add() and mul() implementations * Don't allow channel messages to contain a newline (corrupts the comsys db) btech code bugs: * fix obscure bug in building locks and CombatSafeness * fix radar not calculating height of target properly * fix HUDINFO scan giving incorrect info or crashing * fix aeros getting strafing run BTH bonus while landed * fix DropShips getting +2 BTH penalty while firing landed * only drop clubs if you are carrying one * accumulate Tech-Weapons XP when using Tech-Weapons skills * properly set flying units 'landed' when they crash * disallow IDF on UNDERGROUND maps * don't allow seismic to 'see' buildings * don't make dead units always fall off the bridge they died on * only report takeoffs of DropShips, not other Aeros, on DSInfo * don't assume a unit can always see its own hex, on DARK maps * don't allow cliff-tacticals on DARK maps * conform weight calculation to FASA;
