OMG a new DS!

Don't get too excited, it's an alpha, 3.1a10 (codename: WARTHOG!) and
it's mostly minor tweaks and bugfixes, and a more current version of FluffOS (2.20).

3.2 drops today: http://dead-souls.net

Better than 3.0.

Unless something is tragically wrong with this release, will probably focus now on DS mud project with Kalinash rather
than frequent alphas.

Tragedy strikes!

Well only sort of. I was hoping to leave it at 3.2 for a while but people are running into some weird crasher involving sockets.

Until that gets sorted out in the driver, I've implemented a workaround from Quix, and some other stuff too.

See http://dead-souls.net for 3.4

3.6 is out. Bugfixes and the shiny new FluffOS 2.23.

3.8 is out. Includes the changes in the 3.7 series, and a few things I was sitting on for no particular reason.

Can you believe it's been a year since the last release? Wow. Time flies.

Anyway, things needed a little tightening up here and there, so I'm putting out a minor update, 3.8.2.

Since the last release, my web host changed stuff and now liveupgrade not only stopped working there, but it actually garbages your lib by inserting all sorts of stuff into files that the liveupgrade code didn't keep up with to filter out. I moved the liveupgrade server to a different address and it should work ok but YOU MUST STILL, ESPECIALLY NOW, BACK UP YOUR MUD BEFORE DOING A LIVEUPGRADE.

To switch to the new liveupgrade server and then do a liveupgrade, do like this:

Code: [Select]

mudconfig websourceip 97.107.133.86
mudconfig websourcename dead-souls.net
warmboot
liveupgrade all
and follow the instructions.

Lately we have all had a little extra time on our hands, so I took the opportunity to fix up a few things that Dead Souls has needed for a few years. So:

Dead Souls 3.9 is out. http://dead-souls.net/

Don't expect anything major...there were some issues with objects in /realms/ not getting their inventory properly, so I fixed that, and I added a set of walkthroughs in /doc/cheat , and some miscellaneous fixes.

I'll be working on getting the liveupgrade for this working next...don't bother trying to liveupgrade to 3.9 from a previous version until I announce.

As usual, feel free to reach out to me on intermud with questions. You can PM me here but you'll need to wait patiently for me to notice I have PM's

Your pal,
