	* mudlib/: mudtime.py, parser.py:
	
	Last group in the massive documentation effort.  The other modules
	either aren't clear (so i can't document them) or they're not
	important for coders to use, so we're going to skip them this time
	around.

2002-01-23 15:02  willhelm

	* mudlib/trade.py:
	
	Added the properties from the tradeprops file.

2002-01-23 15:01  willhelm

	* mudlib/: login.py, mind.py, shadow.py, tradeprops.py, utils.py:
	
	Massive documentation on login, mind, shadow, and utils.  Removal
	of the tradeprops module--contents were moved to the trade module.

2002-01-22 15:10  willhelm

	* mudlib/living.py:
	
	Removal of acceptsWrites code.	NPCs that want to look at the write
	and rawwrite method informaiton should override them and handle
	them accordingly.

2002-01-22 14:11  willhelm

	* mudlib/: living.py, stdlib.py:
	
	Added the scribe to the world lib.  Massive documentation effort on
	living.py and stdlib.py.

2002-01-21 10:56  willhelm

	* mudlib/: employable.py, stats.py, viewer.py, vtelnet.py:
	
	Massive documentation effort.

	* mudlib/: callout.py, coder.py, commands.py, core.py, currency.py,
	door.py, editor.py, emote.py, employable.py, formatter.py, heap.py,
	language.py, mpico.py, nomacs.py, possessed.py, race.py, trade.py:
	
	Massive documentation effort.  These modules have either been
	documented to a point where I'm happy and the happydocs are very
	useful or they've been marked with a "This module lacks in
	documentation" at the top so that the happydocs note the module is
	lacking.
	
	This is about 8 hours total of work over the last two days.  I'll
	try to get to the other half of the mudlib modules in the next
	couple of days.  Any help is greatly appreciated--just keep using
	the markup I'm using for the doc-strings--good examples in core.py.
	
	I'm going to do a write-up on how to do doc-strings in the coding
	conventions guide on the bluemud site.	I would like for all future
	modules to be written using this standard.  It'll save us a lot of
	time in the long run and keep this project going in good
	directions.

2002-01-16 21:30  willhelm

	* mudlib/: commands.py, core.py, living.py:
	
	Changed the search command handler so that you can "stop" searching
	if you want to.  Added a bunch of comments.

2002-01-16 13:36  willhelm

	* mudlib/: callout.py, coder.py, formatter.py:
	
	Documentation overhaul for better/clearer happydocs.

2002-01-14 22:46  willhelm

	* mudlib/formatter.py:
	
	MASSIVE commenting changes to the formatter.
	
	I decided to stick with HappyDoc since it handles modules it
	doesn't know about nicely.  I may go and roll my own docstring
	module for our usage because I'm having wicked problems with the
	StructuredText one.  But that's another task for another time.
	
	In the meantime, my new convention is to mark all arguments,
	defaults, argument types, return types, and any exceptions if we
	raise them.  I'm adding example code as well, but having a wicked
	time of getting it to format correctly in the happydocs.  Soon
	either I will master this formatting nightmare, or I'll write my
	own docstring module.

2002-01-14 18:31  willhelm

	* mudlib/: commands.py, formatter.py:
	
	Fixed the indent formatter tag so that it now indents the entire
	text.  Indent has an attribute called firstline which toggles
	whether (true) or not (false) to indent the first line of the text.
	 It defaults to true.  Fixed a small bug in the formatter (visual
	bug)--it now lstrips before indenting the next line.  Fixed the
	columnize function becuase I screwed up the sorting.  Added a clean
	target to the build script.

2002-01-12 00:27  willhelm

	* mudlib/coder.py:
	
	Removed the reload command from the coder module all together. 
	Added an Inn to the tavern world--it's west of the Start room. 
	Added a few attachments to the Start room.
	
	Task 45027: Moved the guestbook into the new world/domains/lib
	worldlib directory.  Finished up the guestbook.  Now if you sign
	it, it will change your start room.  It could probably be a little
	fancier, but it does pretty well right now.  This completes the
	task.

2002-01-10 22:24  willhelm

	* mudlib/living.py:
	
	Discovered the root of the elusive "save...load...hey--why am I not
	a coder anymore?" bug!
	
	The power of one lowercase letter is a greater power than we mere
	mortals could possibly hope to understand.

2002-01-09 23:14  willhelm

	* org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/: NawsEvent.java,
	SocketCommunicator.java:
	
	Removed the "processing Naws event" message.  Re-added the
	exception stacktrace in the SocketCommunicator, but it only gets
	kicked off if we're in debug mode.

2002-01-09 13:20  mrblah

	* mudlib/: coder.py, commands.py, living.py:
	
	Moved the "finger" command from the coder module to the commands
	module, and separated the information viewable to everyone from the
	information viewable only by wizards .	Also added support for
	"additional" finger fields in players that anything can set, such
	as guilds, quests, or other commands, and that will be displayed
	when the player is fingered. Restricted additional fields are also
	available to be set, and will only be displayed to wizards when
	fingering.
	
	Finally, I added a brief help topic on the finger command.

2002-01-09 11:57  mrblah

	* mudlib/login.py,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/SocketCommunicator.java:
	
	Using the enhanced stdlib.findPlayer function in the login module
	resulted in some work being done twice, which caused problems for
	linkdeath reconnection. I simplied the LoginEvent class a bit and
	removed the duplicate work, which fixed the bug. I also added a
	FIXME for splitting apart the LoginEvent into a LoginEvent and a
	ReconnectEvent. The two are suitably different to justify their own
	Event classes. I'll try to get to this in the near future.
	
	I also modified the SocketCommunicator to not "sputter" and dump
	stack traces to the error log when it catches exceptions while
	reading from the socket. Most of these exceptions were caused by
	unclean disconnects, such as users closing their terminal programs
	instead of logging out, which is considered "normal" behavior. 
	Writing to the error log wasn't a bad thing, but it was causing
	some clutter and not adding much value. I added an explantory
	comment to the exception handler.

2002-01-09 00:29  mrblah

	* mudlib/living.py:
	
	Moved the stat attributes and methods from living.Interactive to
	living.Living.
	
	Added a basic help file for the "stats" command.

2002-01-08 21:25  mrblah

	* mudlib/: commands.py, living.py, stats.py:
	
	First run at stats system. It's been only vaguely tested, mostly to
	make sure it doesn't break existing stuff. Some stat-related
	attributes have been added to the living.Interactive class, along
	with accessor and mutator methods; stat constants and manipulation
	functions have been put into the stats module; and a "stats"
	command has been added to the commands module.
	
	Along with more testing, I still need to add a coder command for
	summarizing the numerical values of a player's stats, since the
	player's "stats" command provides only text-based values. I also
	need to add a command that player's can use to track their progress
	in between stat levels.

2002-01-08 16:52  willhelm

	* mudlib/: commands.py, formatter.py:
	
	Added a flag to formatter.columnize so that it'll sort incoming
	lists if you want it to.  Note that if your list has formatting
	information in the list elements, then columnize won't sort
	"correctly".  So in some cases it's easier to tell columnize to
	sort, and in others it might be more beneficial to sort yourself.
	
	Fixed 'ansi color' and 'commands' in the commands module to use the
	sorting thing.

2002-01-08 16:48  willhelm

	* mudlib/commands.py:
	
	Fixed something incorrect in ansiset.cmd.  Also fixed the 'ansi
	colors' to sort the keys before columnizing and displaying them. 
	As an afterthought it occurs to me that we could add a flag to
	columnize for sorting....

2002-01-08 10:34  mrblah

	* mudlib/login.py:
	
	Fixed a couple bugs. The new call to findPlayer to load players
	wasn't passing in the flag to request they be loaded from disk, so
	the player file was never consulted during the login process.
	
	Also fixed a bug wherein aliased destionation rooms other than
	"start_room" weren't recognized, resulting in new players never
	entering the player creation process.

2002-01-08 00:48  mrblah

	* mudlib/coder.py:
	
	Added "finger" command, which will dump some basic information
	about the player fingered, including a wizard's .plan file if it
	exists in his/her home directory. The finger command will work for
	both online and offline players, but less information is available
	for offline players.

2002-01-08 00:46  mrblah

	* mudlib/: login.py, stdlib.py:
	
	Enhanced stdlib.findPlayer function to support creating of player
	objects from player files for players who aren't currently logged
	in.  The optional loadIfOffline flag must be set to true to enable
	this functionality.
	
	Modified the login code to use the enhanced findPlayer function
	instead of creating the player object itself.

2002-01-08 00:40  mrblah

	* mudlib/living.py:
	
	Fixed constructor of Interactive to initialize the _mind variable.

2002-01-08 00:37  mrblah

	* mudlib/mind.py:
	
	Added getIPAddress method, which returns the IP address of the
	player associated with the Mind instance.

2002-01-08 00:28  mrblah

	* mudlib/language.py:
	
	Added genderText function, which returns the text description of a
	living object's gender, and pronounAndVerb function, which bundles
	together the prounoun of a living along with the appropriate
	linking verb. There's probably quite a bit of code out there that
	could take advantage of this latter function.
	
	Also fixed the possessive function to return "your" when the given
	living is the active player.

2002-01-06 18:39  willhelm

	* mudlib/login.py,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/SocketCommunicator.java:
	
	Added a "ctrl-u" kind of thing to the SocketCommunicator.  If you
	type ctrl-u, it'll delete everything you've typed so far.  Good for
	if you've got telnet and you're typing and decide to start over or
	something.

2002-01-06 16:34  willhelm

	* mudlib/login.py:
	
	Fixed login.py so it better handles start rooms.  Like if you screw
	up your start room, it'll send you to the aliased start_room.

2002-01-06 15:38  willhelm

	* mudlib/living.py, mudlib/login.py, mudlib/stdprops.py,
	mudlib/vtelnet.py, org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/Server.java,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/User.java:
	
	Added the ability to change one's start room.  The default start
	room is the aliased object "start_room".  Though you can change
	this by adding a property with the new start room:
	
	   player.addProperty(stdprops.START_ROOM,
	"path.to.new.start.room")
	
	ex:
	
	   player.addProperty(stdprops.START_ROOM,
	"tavern.tavern.NeilsBar")
	
	Then save the player character.  Every time they log in afterwards,
	they start in Neils Bar.
	
	Currently there are no in-game objects to facilitate changing start
	room, however as a coder, you can do it via the call command:
	
	   call me addProperty
	stdprops.START_ROOM%%"tavern.tavern.NeilsBar"
	
	Also I added some comments here and there.

2002-01-04 22:43  willhelm

	* mudlib/emote.py:
	
	Rewrote the WHEE emote.

2002-01-04 22:29  willhelm

	* mudlib/coder.py:
	
	I changed my mind and removed the dumpsock command and added a few
	more lines to the dump command for Socket Properties in the case of
	it being a player.

2002-01-04 22:17  willhelm

	* mudlib/coder.py, org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/Driver.java,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/SocketCommunicator.java,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/TelnetConstants.java,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/User.java:
	
	Added a dumpsock command to the coder commands.  This allows me to
	be able to see what the SocketCommunicator properties for a player
	are.
	
	At some point we might want to unify all the dump commands into one
	big dump command or something....  Maybe I'll change the way I
	implemented dumpsock...
	
	Also fixed some of the comments in TelnetConstants.java and added
	some comments to Driver.java.

2002-01-04 19:45  willhelm

	* org/bluesock/bluemud/: driver/package.html, lib/package.html:
	
	Added package descriptions--makes the javadocs a little more
	explanatory.

2001-12-23 16:29  willhelm

	* mudlib/: coder.py, commands.py, constants.py, core.py, door.py,
	editor.py, formatter.py, mpico.py, viewer.py, help/manager.py:
	
	Fixed some documentation.  Moved some constants defined in mpico to
	constants.  Fixed the ^M thing in the help/manager.py.

2001-12-23 03:16  willhelm

	* mudlib/: commands.py, formatter.py, libinit.py, living.py,
	mind.py:
	
	Change formatter to use the color constants in the constants module
	to build the ANSI_COLOR_MAP.
	
	Added the ansimode command--so now we can turn on and turn off
	ansi, it gets persisted when you save, and you can view all the
	colors we handle.
	
	Added the ansiset command--allows you to associate ansi vars with
	colors.  ex.  When you log in now, and say something, it'll all be
	the default color.  Type 'ansiset say hiyellow' and 'ansi on' and
	say it again and it'll be hiyellow.  Currently there's no way to
	list all the possible things you can set.  So that's kind of an
	issue.	I think the best way to solve that is via a help file
	because I expect there to be a lot of them as the mud grows.
	
	Added a few more mudlib modules to libinit so they get loaded at
	init time and have a chance to bomb out then.

2001-12-23 00:23  willhelm

	* mudlib/coder.py, mudlib/login.py, mudlib/mind.py,
	mudlib/mpico.py, org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/NawsEvent.java,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/SocketCommunicator.java,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/User.java:
	
	Changed the NawsEvent to no longer require height/width because we
	weren't using it anyhow.  This caused changes in functions that
	create NawsEvents in User.java and SocketCommunicator.java.
	
	Changed the boolean inCharacterMode to inLineMode in
	SocketCommunicator.java and added a function that allows us to
	check from the mudlib whether or not we're in line mode.  This
	enables visual editors and the regular command processor to make
	sure we're in the right mode.
	
	Added some code to the LoginEvent to create a NawsEvent which will
	kick the visual editor into refreshing the screen.  This (coupled
	with some other minor changes) should fix Ethan's problem which
	manifests itself when you're visually editing something and you go
	linkdead or open a new session with the same character.  It's not a
	beautiful fix, but it's fairly superficial and can be changed if we
	decide we don't like the way it happens.

2001-12-22 18:48  willhelm

	* mudlib/: coder.py, living.py, mpico.py:
	
	Wrote the first rev of a function that promotes players to coders
	and persists them to disk as a coder.  (coder.promote_to_coder)
	Changed the tavern Tonic code so that it now uses this function. 
	Made some other minor edits here and there.

2001-12-22 01:31  willhelm

	* mudlib/: coder.py, core.py, formatter.py, nomacs.py, room.py,
	stdprops.py:
	
	Fixed a little bug in nomacs.  Moved Room from core.py to room.py. 
	Changed the 999999999 weight and capacity values to a new constant
	in stdprops called INFINITE.  Fixed a problem with the
	CoderController I moved yesterday.  Overhauled the tavern adding
	some new things, moving some things around, removing the long
	hallway (it's silly), adding a new NPC, adjusting a lot of
	description text, and added beer to our tavern.  It's kind of silly
	that up until now, our online tavern had no beer!  Blasphemy! The
	Coding tonic in the tavern is still in the closet, but the closet
	is now in the bar and it's not locked.	The start room is now
	outside, kind of like a village square.  It's surrounded by the
	Shop, the Post Office, and the Tavern.

2001-12-21 00:43  willhelm

	* mudlib/: coder.py, living.py, login.py, mind.py, stdlib.py:
	
	Renamed the WizardController to CoderController and moved it to the
	coder.py module.  Commenting/documentation.

2001-12-20 15:45  mrblah

	* mudlib/: commands.py, mind.py:
	
	The communication commands (say, tell, shout) were using the raw
	input for the message. This worked ok for say and shout, but for
	tell it resulted in the target player's name showing up in the
	message. In other words, if I did "tell balkor hello", balkor saw
	"Balkor tells you: balkor hello". This could be fixed by pulling
	the first token out of the rawinput, but I don't think we really
	want to be using rawinput for this stuff anyway, as it causes other
	issues (most notably the need to re-check for escaped semi-colons).
	The rawinput was used in the first place because the arguments were
	split on whitespace and rejoined with spaces, resulting in the loss
	of non-space-character whitespace (such as tabs).
	
	So to fix all of this, I modified the mind module to only split the
	first token in the command string (which is the action) and to
	leave the rest of the string in-tact, so that non-space-character
	whitespace will be preserved, but commands can take advantage of
	the pre-processing done on the arguments (such as handling of
	escaped semi-colons). I then modified say, tell, and shout to use
	the arguments instead of the rawinput.

2001-12-16 22:33  willhelm

	* mudlib/: mind.py, nomacs.py:
	
	Fixed a bug with popping input and NAWS parsers which we never
	encounterd because we only had one item in the list.  Fixed nomacs
	so it works a bit better--had to add a \r to all outgoing writes.

2001-12-16 20:22  willhelm

	* mudlib/: coder.py, mpico.py, nomacs.py, utils.py:
	
	I changed the way saving files and loading files works in mpico and
	nomacs.  Before, the editor would handle loading and saving the
	file to the file-system (through the Driver).  Now, it happens in
	the invocation of the editor.  This allows us to use those editors
	for things other than loading/saving files.  This probably still
	needs some work.
	
	I adjusted mpico to use this new method.
	
	I also overhauled nomacs so that it now works in Bluemud--it's got
	some neat functionality that isn't in mpico including things like
	undo support and intelligent tabbing.
	
	Nomacs uses a statemachine pattern matcher class--I tossed this
	class in utils.py.  It warrants another look--may be that I can
	change mpico to use the pattern matcher.  That may reduce the code
	involved in handling incoming input signicantly.

	* mudlib/mpico.py, org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/NawsEvent.java,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/SocketCommunicator.java,

	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/User.java:
	
	Some documentation fixes, some code cleanup, and some changes to
	method names so they follow our naming scheme.

2001-12-14 02:00  willhelm

	* mudlib/mpico.py:
	
	Added cut/uncut to mpico.  It's a smidgeon different than regular
	Pico in that mpico can't uncut text in the middle of a line--it's
	always whole lines.  I haven't figured out a) how to fix this, and
	b) if i want to fix this.
	
	Regardless, it sure makes moving text around a whole lot easier.

	* mudlib/: emote.py, living.py, stdprops.py:
	
	Fixed some emote code, added comments, and tried looking at making
	emotes work remotely...  difficult.  Added DIRECTIONALS constant to
	stdprops.py.  Added code to living.py that checks to see if the
	action is a directoinal (in the event that no actions bound to the
	user matched) and if so, displays "You cannot go in that
	direction." instead of "What?" which makes a bit more sense.

2001-12-13 18:22  willhelm

	* mudlib/commands.py:
	
	Fixed the displayCommands function.  If you logged in with a
	non-telnet client, then you won't have a COLS setting and
	displayCommands would balk.

	vtelnet.py, boards/board.py, mail/mailbox.py:
	
	Completed task 40932.  This is a biggy--I changed all commands so
	that they take in 4 arguments now: self, command, arguments, and
	rawinput.  The rawinput argument is the exact string the user typed
	in with all the white-space formatting they had.  This affects
	anything registered with the ActionManager.  I made the change to
	all commands in the mudlib as well as in the world Tavern code that
	we have.  This is a big, non-backwards-compatible change.  I was
	waffling about whether to do it or not, and finally decided to do
	it now before things got bigger.
	
	Also in this commit is the following little things:  - re-wrote
	utils.parse_first_semicolon to use regular expressions	- went
	through coder.py and commands.py and changed the error	  messages
	of a lot of the commands so they follow some conventions  - changed
	utils.formathumantime -> utils.format_human_time  - mvoed
	_parse_apth and _parse_filename from coder.py -> utils.py    and
	removed the first _ from the names.   - fixed coder.printCWD(...)
	so it now returns a 1	- moved emote from coder.py -> commands.py
	-- everyon should be able     to emote	 - moved colorMeBad from
	commands.py -> coder.py and re-wrote it --     only coders need
	color information   - added screenwidth argument to
	formatter.columnize calls in	 code in commands.py and coder.py
	(not sure why it wasn't there before)	- added "Saving status."
	message to the quit command   - fixed utils.py and vtelnet.py so

	* mudlib/: commands.py, mind.py, utils.py:
	
	Changed the utils.parseFirstSemicolon into
	utils.parse_first_semicolon and reimplemented it using regular

	Cleaning up old FIXMEs....

	* mudlib/emote.py:
	
	Added ability to list emotes, command is "emotes". (Although the
	display of the emotes could probably use colors and cleaning up a
	bit)
	
	Added a shake/shakeno emote, although adjective support still needs
	to be added to these emotes.
	
	Added a whistle emote.

	* mudlib/formatter.py:
	
	Fixed the case where it's a tag, but not one we recognize.  Now the
	length of that tag gets added to the wrapcount so that it wraps
	correctly with the rest of the visible text.

	confmanager.c, consolecommunicator.c, consolecommunicator.h,
	drivermodule.c, engine.c, filemanager.c, libmodule.c, logmanager.c,
	objectmanager.c, util.c:
	
	This represents the latest updates to the prototype before I ran
	out of time to work on it. It should be noted that not everything
	works and some of the code is downright broken.
	
	Among other things, I added block comments to each of the files to
	explain what they're supposed to do.

2001-10-24 01:21  willhelm

	* mudlib/mpico.py:
	
	We now check to see if self.ed_filename exists and it's not equal
	to "[new]" which we use as a marker that this is a new file.  This
	should fix the problem of having that silly [new]~ file in the root
	directory.

2001-10-24 01:15  willhelm

	* mudlib/formatter.py:
	
	I changed the way format_text handles tags it doesn't handle. 
	Before it would dump the tag.  For instance, it doesn't know about
	<b> ... </b>.  So the text "this text is <b>bold</b>" gets
	formatted to "this text is bold".  Instead, we want it to ignore
	tags it doesn't understand.  This does a bunch of things for us:
	
	1. it allows us to use <...> syntax for command help where we
	specify    required arguments.	2. it allows players to talk about
	html tags without losing parts of    their conversation (our text
	formatting may look like HTML, but does    not use any HTML tags). 
	3. it allows coders to see where they screwed up their text
	formatting    in descriptions and things rather than not notice it
	because the glaring    error was happily dumped because format_text
	didn't recognize it for    the hideous monstrosity that it was.
	
	All these things and more with the change of one mere line of code
	and some quick unit-testing.  :)

	Task 37361 completed (ansi/wrap overhaul).  (I screwed up my CVS
	repository--but theoretically I touched 80% of these files anyhow.)
	
	I re-built the ansi/wrapping system which is now all contained in
	formatter as it is now the text formatting system.  It has a series
	of cool functions that make dealing with the formatting much
	easier.  Some of these functions have been incorporated into
	various parts of the mudlib making the code there much shorter and
	easier to manage.  It also has a kick-ass iterator which, when
	given a string, allows you to iterate through the formatting
	portions or the textual portions of a string without having to
	split out the formatting and piece it together manually.  I'm going
	to do some testing and then probably incorporate this into the
	language module.  I may optimize it a bit so that it figures things
	out when it needs to rather than all up front (if you look at the
	class called FormatTextIter in the formatter module, you'll see
	what I mean).
	
	I also fixed the columnize and fixedcolumnize functions in the
	formatter making them more sophisticated and used them to re-write
	the listDirectory function in the coder module (it's now half the
	size and one quarter the complexity).
	
	And I moved some utility functions around between utils.py,
	formatter.py and moved all the color constants to constants.py.
	
	World code color code should look like this:
	
	from mudlib.constants import * import mudlib.formatter
	
	  ...
	  pl.write( mudlib.formatter.color(BLUE, "This text is blue") )
	
	Now constants is the only module that we condone the use of the
	from _ import * method of importing.
	
	I updated the tavern code to reflect all these changes.
	
	I haven't removed the code from utils.py yet.  That's next.
	
	I think that's all I've done since the last commit.

	Temporary fix to word-wrapping.  Before it wasn't paying attention
	to our ansi color codes and it was counting those in its wrapping
	length which really irritated me.  Now it's temporarily fixed by
	passing the text through parse_ansi and then _wrap_parsed_ansi
	instead of through _wrap_text.	This should be re-written at some

	cleanly.

	* mudlib/boards/board.py:
	
	Turns out the archive thing wasn't a Jython bug after all. Well,
	the Jython implementation of the python lib was bombing out because
	it didn't check some data for validity, so I guess you could say
	that's a bug, but the ultimate cause of the problem was in the

	mpico dies ungracefully, you have a copy of your work in

	through the More viewer.  I also had to change the More viewer so
	that it can handle raw as well as non-raw text.
	
	It is a bit annoying now because bluemud doesn't know your ROWS,
	COLS information unless you're using telnet.  If you're using
	telnet, you're fine.
	
	FIXME - we need to add commands or some method to change your
	"telnet" options like ansimode, ROWS, and COLS in-game and save it
	with your player ob.  This could get a little complex considering
	now we have two sources of COLS/ROWS data and one of them is
	dynamic.
	
	At this point, however, this checkin comment is getting to be a bit
	too much like a Tolstoy novel, so I'm going to leave the rest of
	the excercise up to the reader.

	Added object IDs to the MudObject class in libmodule.
	
	Added a User class to libmodule.
	
	Created a Communicator struct that contains function pointers to

	communicator implementations from the User class. This way I can
	create a console communicator for testing and later replace it with
	a socket communicator for networking support without having to
	touch the User class. It's actually setup so that multiple
	communicator implementations can be in use at the same time. I'm
	really pleased with this solution as it mimics an OO class from a
	client perspective.  I'm actually giving some thought to
	refactoring a few areas of the system to do something
	similar--we'll have to see.

	* mudlib/: coder.py, commands.py, formatter.py, mind.py, utils.py,

	And then use the functions color(...) and indent(...) and the
	constants in formatter.py for the colors.  I changed all the code
	in the system to use these new functions.  Having slight problems
	with the say command though.  I'll fix that in the next 10 minutes
	or so.	(I forgot I hadn't gotten that resolved when I did this
	commit--my bad).  This allows me to re-do the wrapping/ansification
	functions in utils.py without affecting the code base since it's
	all internal to utils.py and formatter.py.

	* mudlib/help/manager.py:
	
	Fixed the formatting routine so that the format syntax is html
	oriented (though it should be known help documents are NOT valid
	html documents.  I added a <b>...</b>, changed %LI% to <li>,
	changed %CMDLISTING% to <cmdlisting>, changed %TPCLISTING% to
	<tpclisting>.  It's real specific in that it is case-sensitive. 
	It's very much non-sophisticated.  It's designed to get the
	formatting stuff out of the help files.  I also added a _ which you
	put at the end of lines that need to be wrapped.

2001-09-01 15:07  willhelm

	* mudlib/: coder.py, commands.py, formatter.py, mind.py,
	help/manager.py:
	
	Changed the help system to distinguish between topic and command
	help files.  A command help file covers syntax and usage of a
	command, a topic help file covers a general concept.  I also
	started adding formatting tags to the help files.  Replacing all
	the (@red:*@) with %LI% in the help files.  LI stands for list
	item.  I'm not completely sold on this method or the syntax of the
	formatting either.  And I want to format some of the other stuff as
	well better than it is now.
	
	The only things left to do in the help system would be to create a
	file that holds the information for which files are related to
	which files--we can create families of functions and topics.
	
	i.e. in the file there would be a line like:   get,drop,give,grab
	
	And every time one of those files was retrieved, the SEE ALSO
	section would be auto-populated with this information.	Then we
	don't have to update each individual file.  Just makes the
	bookkeeping a little easier.
	
	I want to fix the word-wrapping thing.	I might force word-wrapped
	lines to have a _ at the end.  Then do a mass _\n replacement with
	just a space.
	
	Getting there.

	* mudlib/commands.py, mudlib/living.py, mudlib/login.py,
	mudlib/stdlib.py, org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/LogManager.java:
	
	Modified the "known interactives" stuff in living and in the
	command module to use interactive names instead of interactive
	references.  While this opens up the possibility of "knowing"
	someone who you haven't been introduced to because they have the
	same name as someone you have been introduced to, it also makes it
	possible to persist so that players will know other players across
	sessions. Perhaps in the future we should really keep track of an
	"origination" hash that would work off the filename from which the
	NPC was loaded or the security file from which the player info was
	loaded, and store that instead of the player name in the
	knownInteractives list. That would provide a persistable reference
	that would be relatively unique amongst interactives.
	
	Modified the Player class to save and reload its knownInteractives
	list, so players will now know other players across sessions.
	
	Added a few functions to stdlib, including log(), write(), and
	findPlayer(). The log function is a wrapper around the Driver's
	writeLogEntry() method, write() sends a message to the current
	active player, and findPlayer() will return a reference to a
	logged-in player given that player's name.
	
	Modified the LoginController class to log player logins.
	
	Modified the LogManager's timestamp format so that it will always
	be the same length, regardless of the date or time. It also now
	prints the full year instead of just the last two digits.

	* org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/Driver.java:
	
	Added the homes root to the constructed python path so that code in
	wizards' homes directories can be loaded.
	
	There seems to be something kind of weird about Jython, though, in
	that it seems to ignore directories created after the interpreter
	starts up.  Maybe it was just a fluke, but after creating a home
	directory for myself, I had to restart the mud before the
	interpreter would recognize the code in it.

	* mudlib/: commands.py, formatter.py, mind.py, mpico.py, utils.py:
	
	* I fixed PlayerController.write because there was all this   kruft
	there from a previous attempt at implementing indent.  * I have no
	clue what I did with formatter.py.  * I added a get_indent function
	to utils.py and moved some of	the wrap stuff around a bit. 
	get_indent does a somewhat klugy   method of checking for indent or
	no.  If it's indented,	 then it's indented.  It doesn't attempt to
	wrap text with	 formatting commands.  If we want to move to that
	point, then we	 can...  version 2.0.  :) * I made another couple
	minor fixes to mpico.  * I changed say, tell, and shout to use
	indenting.  * The only issue is that say does this VBFC thing which
	capitalizes   the first letter--which in this case is now INDENT=5
	so it doesn't	capitalize the actual text right.

	I got sick and tired of seeing an uptime of 50,000 seconds.  So
	it's now formatted via a horribly done days/hours/minutes/seconds
	converter thing which we'll probably want to:	a) re-write   b)
	put somewhere other than formatter.py
	
	But it seems to work.  Yay.

	* mudlib/mpico.py:
	
	I forgot to mention this in the previous commit.  The 1.12 version
	of mpico had the following MASSIVE changes:  - almost complete
	rewrite of most methods  - added the ability to cut lines of text
	(^K)  - fixed a lot of obsequous bugs  - made it a lot more
	readable  - lots of comments  - removed a lot of klugy arithmetic
	for translating between    buffer-space and screen-space.
	
	mpico is pretty usable right now with the following exceptions:  -
	doesn't handle lines longer than the screen width well at all  -
	cutting text doesn't put it in a temporary buffer for pasting	
	later
	
	This version fixes some additional bugs that I found while I was
	toying with things.

	* org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/Driver.java:
	
	Since we're mixing Java and Python paths, sometimes we'd end up
	with mixed file separators and what not. I modified the
	canonizePath method in the Driver to explicitly replace file
	separators with the separator for the underlying operating system.
	This should hopefully correct some of the problems that have been
	experienced running under Windows.

	implemented)  - how many players currently logged in (currently not
	implemented)
	
	Added the appropriate help file.
	
	Added a getUptime function to the driver.
	
	Todo: We need to create a function that takes a long and converts
	it into a string of days/hours/minutes/seconds kind of thing.

	* mudlib/commands.py,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/SocketCommunicator.java:
	
	Added (Linkdead) to the idle command if the characer is linkdead. 
	Otherwise they just showed up as extremely idle.  Re-added SGA
	on/off so that clients correctly get poked out of linemode for
	mpico to work.	Neil had encountered this by SSH from his box to
	bluesock and then telnet from bluesock to the mud on 15grains.	I
	encountered the same thing going directly to the mud on 15grains
	from my brother's Mac OSX telnet client.  I changed the way we
	handle SGA incoming messages so this is a different SGA
	implementation than we've had before.  We'll see what this one
	does.  At some point I'm going to look at other peoples' code and
	their handling of SGA.

	* mudlib/coder.py:
	
	Neil wandered over all happy that he found a bug with cd.  Turns
	out it was a bug with _parse_path.  If you're in the root ("/") and
	you pass in a "../code/mudlib" the first ../ will remove the only /
	and then the path that comes out would be "code/mudlib" rather than
	"/code/mudlib" causing massive grief in our humble little system.
	
	I have fixed it by checking to see if the first character is a "/"
	and if it isn't, I make it so.

2001-08-10 12:47  mrblah

	* mudlib/login.py:
	
	Fixes linkdead bug that wasn't cleaning up old player object when
	user reconnected. This resulted in that old player object getting
	heartbeat events forever after until the MUD was rebooted.

2001-08-09 15:27  mrblah

	* mudlib/commands.py:
	
	Added some help files for player commands.

	* mudlib/: mind.py, mpico.py:
	
	When you resize your telnet client (and it's set to resize), it
	sends a NAWS telnet control thingy to our server.  We then change
	the ROWS and COLS properties on the SocketCommunicator property
	hash.  I then create a NawsEvent which was supposed to get
	processed by whatever things were registered with the controller. 
	This all now works.  This means that if you're in mpico and you
	resize your telnet client and it sends a NAWS event, mpico
	refreshes its screen accordingly with the new values.

	* mudlib/login.py, org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/Driver.java,

	Added authentication. Users must now provide a valid password to
	login.	Users are given three chances to enter the appropriate
	password, after which they are disconnected.
	
	Note that the login module now determines whether a player is new
	by checking if there is a security token associated with that
	player. In other words, after this update all of your characters
	will be treated as new characters, even though they have player
	files, since they won't have security tokens.

	During debugging, I noticed that the capitalize function was being
	called to capitalize some of my commands (like when I typed "look",
	a request would be made to capitalize the word "look"). Looking at
	the commands module, I noticed that some of the commands setup a
	notifyFail at the beginning so that they could just return 0
	throughout the method without having to setup a notifyFail each
	time. While this makes the code a little bit cleaner, it resulted
	in the capitalize method being called every single time the command
	was typed. So I modified these methods to set the notifyFail only
	when they are actually going to fail.

	Added support for a mail system.
	
	There is a post offic sw of the start room.
	
	Please delete existing player files or create mail files for the
	player under world/data/mail/(playername all lowercase)

	* mudlib/coder.py, mudlib/mpico.py, mudlib/vtelnet.py,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/SocketCommunicator.java,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/User.java:
	
	mpico now works and saves.  it still has a few bugs (having to do
	with end of buffer issues) and it could do with some more work and
	additional features.  but it can now be used to edit files in-game,
	save them, and such.

2001-08-02 11:59  mrblah

	* mudlib/: living.py, login.py, stdlib.py, boards/board.py:
	
	Modified stdlib.saveObject and stdlib.loadObject to no longer touch
	the disk. They just convert an object to a save-representation or
	convert a save-representation to an object, respectively. Instead,
	it's up to the requesting object to actually write the
	save-representation to disk after a call to saveObject or read the
	save-representation from disk prior to a call to loadObject.
	
	This change was made primarily for security reasons, since stdlib
	used to require read/write access to ALL data directories in order
	to function properly. Now it requires no special permissions and,
	instead, the requesting classes just need permissions to the data
	directories they use (for example, bulletin boards need read/write
	to the data/boards/ directory).
	
	I think I modified all of the classes that previously loaded and/or
	saved objects to work with the new changes. But if you notice that
	something no longer loads or saves properly, it may be related to
	this modification.

2001-08-02 00:04  willhelm

	* mudlib/viewer.py:
	
	Fixed more so that it used rawwrite permanently.  Anything that
	uses more should either a) be ansified/wrapped already, or b) be
	raw text that we want to see without "adjustments".  (Neil, I
	figured we don't need to pass a flag--it should all be raw.)

2001-07-29 23:07  mrblah

	* mudlib/: coder.py, mind.py, viewer.py:
	
	Added viewer module with a More class that provides a more-like
	text viewer.
	
	Added a "more" command to the coders module that can be used to
	view files.
	
	Added a getUserProperty method to the Controller class and the mind
	module that exposes the properties in the User class.
	
	Modified head and tail commands to make use of the ROWS user
	property (how many rows the user's terminal window can display) to
	determine how many lines to display.

	* mudlib/coder.py, org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/Driver.java,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/FileManager.java:
	
	Added touch command to the coders module.
	
	Added touchFile method to the FileManager and exposed it through
	the Driver.  Added a .cvsignore to the logs/ directory so it would
	ignore the log files.

	Added rm, pushd, and popd commands.
	
	Added removeFile methoc to FileManager and exposed it through the
	Driver.  Also secured the removeDirectory method in the Driver.

	* org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/: ConnectEvent.java, Driver.java,
	SecurityToken.java, User.java:
	
	Created a SecurityToken class and modified User and Driver to
	interact with it instead of a Permissions object directly. The
	SecurityToken stores the security-related data for a user,
	including their user name, an MD5 digest of their password, and
	their permission set. Currently, the SecurityToken integrated with
	the User and Driver, but there's no authentication taking place yet
	(so everything should behave just as before).
	
	I also modified the ConnectEvent to access the LoginController as
	an aliased object (and added an appropriate alias to the
	aliases.conf file).

2001-07-26 12:41  flaithius

	* mudlib/: coder.py, mudtime.py:
	
	
	Fixed the mud time stuff.  Added more comments to explain how to
	use it.

	org/bluesock/bluemud/lib/Controller.java:
	
	Naws event notification works now.  Mpico almost works in some
	cases....  It's looking a _lot_ better now.  Fixed a few bugs in
	the run loop in SocketCommunicator (essentially, I re-wrote
	it--much better now).

2001-07-25 19:41  willhelm

	* org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/SocketCommunicator.java:
	
	Removed SGA stuff.  I'm going to implement linemode later via the
	linemode option rather than futzing with SGA.  May re-visit this
	later though.

2001-07-25 19:11  mrblah

	* org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/: ConfigurationManager.java,
	Driver.java, LogManager.java, Server.java:
	
	Added a LogManager class that is responsible for appending log
	entries to log files.
	
	Added a bluemud.log.root path to bluemud.conf and added appropriate
	support for it to the ConfigurationManager and Driver.
	
	Added a writeLogEntry method to the Driver, which constructs a file
	path for the log, performs a security check, and then forwards the
	request on to the LogManager.
	
	Modified the Server to record the IP address of all connections to
	a "connect" log instead of just stdout.
	
	Modified the Driver to redirect stderr to an "errors" log.

2001-07-25 19:07  willhelm

	* org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/: SocketCommunicator.java,
	TelnetConstants.java:
	
	Added a debug mode (so I don't affect you guys with spam when I'm
	screwing around).  Added a function to TelnetConstants that nicely
	prints out Telnet Control messages.  Moved a few things around--may
	have fixed an echo issue.  Working on reducing the spam between the
	client and the server.

2001-07-25 18:49  flaithius

	* mudlib/living.py:
	
	Added accomplishments. This will allow quests/accomplishments/etc
	to be recorded on the player.
	
	Note: You will need to delete all your previous player .o files.

	* mudlib/commands.py,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/SocketCommunicator.java,
	org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/TelnetConstants.java:
	
	Moved a bunch of code around in SocketCommunicator and
	TelnetConstants in an ongoing effort to clean up
	SocketCommunicator.

2001-07-25 17:09  flaithius

	* mudlib/commands.py:
	
	Fixed "ask" command so if you possess an NPC you still receive
	asks.
	
	Added another NPC to the tavern :-)

2001-07-25 16:22  mrblah

	* mudlib/coder.py, org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/Driver.java:
	
	Fixed up some pathing issues in some of the coder commands. As far
	as I can tell, the paths now all behave as anticipated. Also fixed
	up the edit commands to make use of the current working directory
	and added a "cat" command that can be used to dump files.
	
	I also modified all of the disk manipulation methods in the Driver
	to first canonize the paths to be relative to the bluemud root
	directory.  This is more for convenience on the part of the mudlib
	than for security, since it won't stop you from touching disk
	outside of the bluemud tree (it's up to Java security to prevent
	that).
	
	Finally, I updated the bluemud.conf file to include pretty comments
	for each of the path entries.

	* mudlib/: commands.py, core.py:
	
	commands.py added search to the basic command handler.	core.py
	added an empty search function to the object, so now all objects
	are searchable itemps.py changed the way tonic behaves: empty
	bottle stays behind; can't quaff nails anymore :) roomps.py removed
	search from closet npcs.py Igor is now searchable tavern.py
	adjusted the tshirt search

2001-07-25 13:39  mrblah

	* mudlib/: commands.py, help/manager.py:
	
	Added a rudimentary help system and a "help" command to the
	commands module. The help system just dumps the contents of a file
	from the help directory that has the same name as the desired help
	topic. If no topic is specified, then a "default" file is used. If
	the file can't be found, then the user receives an error message
	about that help topic not existing.
	
	I added two dummy help files: default and test.

2001-07-25 12:29  mrblah

	* org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/: BootStrap.java, Driver.java:
	
	Enhanced the Driver class to automatically determine the proper
	setting for the python.path environment variable and initialize the
	Python interpreter accordingly. It should no longer be necessary to
	specify a python path on the command line when starting the MUD.
	
	Enhanced the BootStrap class to accept the listening port on the
	command line. This is now a required argument.
	
	Updated the build.xml script to take the two above changes into
	account: removed the python path and added a listening port of
	3000. I also fixed a couple other issues with the script.
	
	Removed the world.code.root property from the bluemud.conf file
	since it's no longer used (we use the world.domains.root property
	instead).

2001-07-24 13:02  mrblah

	* mudlib/: living.py, login.py, boards/board.py:
	
	Modified the Player class and Board class to save to the proper
	data subdirectories (player/ and boards/ respectively). I also
	fixed some packaging issues in the Board class that were left over
	from the directory structure reorg.
	
	I still need to break the Player class out of the living module and
	put it into its own module in the mudlib/player directory for
	security purposes.

2001-07-23 18:35  rumata

	* mudlib/coder.py:
	
	fixed the trader (got screwed up during the move) fixed possession
	bugs.  Can jump host bodies successfully, and can't emote
	possessor's body.  BootStrap.java was changed, then changed back,
	so should be no net changes

2001-07-23 11:29  mrblah

	* org/bluesock/bluemud/driver/: BootStrap.java,
	ConfigurationManager.java, Driver.java:
	
	Enhanced ConfigurationManager to take care of loading aliases from
	a configuration file and registering them with the Driver. The
	location of the aliases file can be specified with the
	bluemud.conf.aliases environment variable. If not present, then the
	ConfigurationManager will look for an aliases.conf file in the
	current working directory. If it can't find that, then it generates
	a fatal error and the system halts.
	
	Previously, hard-coded aliases were registered with the Driver by
	the BootStrap class. I took all that out. At initialization, the
	Driver now asks the ConfigurationManager to load and register the
	aliases.

2001-07-22 14:58  willhelm

	* mudlib/boards/board.py:
	
	Bunch of fixes--everything seems to load and work fine now.  Whee!
	Best part is that I did most of it in-game.  Well, the editing I
	did out of game, but I only had to start the server once and do a
	lot of "update".  Update should kick up errors.

2001-07-22 13:40  willhelm

	Adjusted the bluemud.conf sample configuration file.  I forget what
	I did to ConfigurationManager.java--it should be identical.
