9) Procs can now reference specific game commands and block them without having to fire them all off. - See "Flee" We skip all the procs but proc_no_flee. We fire that one and only that one to block fleeing.
10) Termination of spec proc loop, i have now put a specific kick out of spec proc loop. We check for the termination bit on the last proc, and we look to see if the next proc is = "NULL" and we end gracefully.

Version 5.9 keeps evolving:

Currently live in the game:
steps 1, 2, 4, 9 and 10 from the above post.


In addition to the above we have added the following:
1) Separated mortal from immortal levels - Now we can increase the mortal levels if we should choose to do so.
2) Combat upgrades - We have introduced initiative. Combat now regenerates every turn to give those with better initiative and DEX the first combat hits.
3) Spellbooks - There is a purpose for these, which we will elaborate later on.
4) MySQL - We are actively pushing the databases over to MySQL so we can do more with our websites, we can also do more database queries which makes it easier on the admin to look for what we need.

5) feats - A limited system of feats will be put in. These will be auto skills that will be given to classes and Races.
6) Races - We already know this is coming for 6.0 - The will be used for innate abilities, innate spells.
7) Perma object spells - Now will be innate obj spells. I have removed the legacy loaders and moved the innate spell to object fields.
8) I have split spells, skills, into SKTYPES. This way i can make the searching of skill/spell numbers much faster. It was only an additional field to the current spello/skillo defines.
9) split out min_level from object value 4 to its own field, opening up value 4, and we added value 5 and 6. These are for other feat based options.


Most of you know, we are planning to do some more for those post-perfect characters. Adding another class, new skills, new spells, and character choice of Feats to customize your character. We are considering spell books for this as well, but we are discussing other options for spell books.


Most are subject to change as we gauge the value of the change vs what it gives us towards our end goal. The end goal is a game that evolves to meet player expectations but can grow to meet changing game conditions. We reserve the right to update this up to the time we fully unveil version 5.9
