[Aime-users] 0.60 Soon?

[George N. <no...@ac...>]

Hi all,

	I have made a couple changes to the code over the last couple days.  The
biggest change was a rewrite of how the fighting code works.  Not much has
changed to the players, but it is better structured behind the scenes.  This
made adding mobile flee and ability usage easy, which I have done.  So
mobiles will have magic and endurance like everyone else, can flee if they
are going to die, and can cast spells and use abilities on a random basis.
For the sadistic among you, I created an aime.conf setting called PermDeath
that, when set, deactivates a user's character when they die so they can't
use it.  This makes death permanent and forces the player to create a new
character.  Plus I have fixed lots of bugs and added or corrected a few
special functions.  I also fixed the error when connecting where text would
not show, at least for linux.  The Windows version problem does not want to
go away so I will have to study it a bit more.

	Anyways, the big goal for 0.60 was to have mobile spellcasting/skill usage
abilities which seems to be done.  So, I am going to spend next week working
out bugs and adding small items so we can release 0.60.  Is there anyone who
has some free time to test it?  I've got the bugs that have been submitted
so far, but I would like to find any large bugs before releasing it.
