Added an initial brainstorm for a more fully-featured tutorial multiplayer game "Battle for Evennia". The idea is to use this as a basis for a series of tutorials on building a relatively complete game in Evennia. The details will probably change, so putting it up for comments from the community.

Updated game/ for the ev API. There will likely be some changes happening in the game/folder, in the way new objects are inherited. This should use the API rather than inherit from the basecommand/baseobject modules (these will probably into the example folders as vanilla templates instead).

Added #INSERT capabilities to @batchcmd processor too. This allows to group and run multiple batch-cmd batchfiles from one central batchfile. You can not mix batchcmd and batchcode files however - that would go beyond the use cases for the respective batch processors (and give unnecessarily complex code for little gain).

Some webclient suggestions and practice committing to evennia.
...
text2html.py and webclient.css
* Remove inline formatting and place in CSS file. This frees up
the client to change the basic color scheme without modifying
the server file.
* Added a target="_blank" to links that are created to force a
new tab (or window) to be opened in lieu of leaving the web
client when a link is clicked.
webclient.html
* Added a void action to the form, just in case.
evennia_webclient.js
* Added code to move the caret to the end of the input box when
the history is changed (up or down arrow listeners).

Went over the Command class' basic methods, cleaning up and optimizing while still trying to keep things clean, such as using cleverer loops and try...except instead of if statements. Also cleaned up the way attributes are retrieved. Results in roughly a halving of the time that the code spends in the command.py module.

Added a separate program for launching client connections. Meant mainly for server devs at this point. It is primarily useful for stress-testing so as to get profiling data using e.g. cProfiler - running many clients with a short timestep -will- slow the server to a crawl! If using sqlite3 with 50+ clients you will also see the memory consumption gradually - our sqlite3 setup runs in RAM by default and these things create a lot of new stuff every timestep - make sure to shut it down before you run out of memory! Not sure if this says much about the server's actual behaviour with many players at this point, the usage pattern is hardly "realistic". Also, it's usually better to shut down the server before the dummyrunner.

Added the @ban and @unban commands to the default command sets, allowing an admin to filter access from users without outright deleting their accounts. The ban list is stored in the database, but the checking is not hard-coded in the server/portal, but done in the normal login command(s), meaning it can be customized easily. Also contrib/menu_login has been updated to check for banned connections.

Changed the way unloggedin commands work. Rather than the cmdhander having a special state for unlogged-in commands, the session itself simply stores the cmdset from settings.CMDSET_UNLOGGEDIN. Clean and efficient and also gives a lot more freedom for creating custom login mechanisms (notably it opens the door to using menu systems).

Gave better error messages when a player typeclass has bugs and thus won't load. Also made a better solution for hiding new characters from the start room when first being created (also makes sure that character.location never starts as being None, recovering back to home in that case).

Restructured the way typeclasses are loaded. This makes it possible to run at_init() hooks at initiation also for objects without any custom cases for character/players. at_init() hooks are called only when an object is initiated. This means that a room's at_init() hook is only called when someone looks or enters it or a script operates on it, for example, rest of the time these objects are dormant, most efficiently.

Scripts and Exits updated. Fixed some deep issues with Scripts that caused object-based scripts to not properly shut down in some situations, as well as spawn multiple instances of themselves. I think this should resolve all "at_repeat doubling" issues reported. Due to optimizations in the typeclass cache loader in a previous update, the Exit cmdsets were not properly loaded (they were loaded at cache time, which now doesn't happen as often). So Exits instead rely on the new "at_cmdset_get" hook called by the cmdhandler. It allows dynamic modification of cmdsets just before they are accessed. Resolves issue173 (I hope). Resolves issue180. Resolves issue 181.

Made scripts and typeclassed objects remember db_typeclass_path at all times - a temporarily faulty typeclass will no longer mess up things forever after. Refined and optimized the way typeclasses are cached and loaded, minimizing db hits. The default result when trying to create an object or script with a typeclass that is faulty/not found is now to fail. The previous way, to create an entity anyway using defaults was hard to debug and caused confusion. Resolves issue 175.

Added a new 'contrib' folder for optional code snippets not suitable for the server core. Added contrib/menusystem for implementing a multi-choice menu system. Added contrib/lineeditor - a powerful line editor with commands mimicking VI. Also added an example NPC class using the menu system to allow for a conversation. As part of creating these contributions, lots of bugs were found and fixed. A new and more powerful cmdparser was intruduced as a result - this one is much easier to understand than the old one, while being more efficient and versatile. All testsuites were updated. Also: Resolves issue 165.

Migrate. Made Exits work differently, by use of commands directly instead of an exithandler assigning commands on-the-fly. This solution is a lot cleaner and also solves an issue where @reload would kill typeclasses in situations where an exit was painting to an object whose typeclass was reloaded (same issue occured if the exit typeclass itself was reloaded). As part of these fixes I cleaned up the merging of cmdsets to now merge in strict priority order, as one would expect them to do. Many small bug-fixes and cleanups all over. Resolves issue 164. Resolves issue 163.

Migrate. Added the "view" access restriction (to make objects invisible). Also changed the input of ObjectDB.objects.object_search() to not require a caller as an argument (this makes it consistent with other search methods). All default systems should have updated to the new call, but if you have custom calls, you need to change them to fit the new syntax (this is only important if explicitly use ObjectDB.objects.object_search; if you just use caller.search you should be fine)

Run Migrate. Implemented a full separation between Player and Character - Players (OOC entities) can now also hold cmdsets and execute commands. This means that "disconnecting" from a Character becomes possible, putting the Player in an "OOC" state outside the game. This overall makes the game much more stable since there used to be issues if the character was destroyed. Having an OOC set also avoids the previous problem of @puppeting into an object that didn't have any cmdset of its own - you couldn't get back out! A new default OOC-Cmdset handles commands available to a player while OOC. Commands in this set are applied with a low priority, allowing "IC" mode to give precedence if desired.
...
This change meant several changes to the lock and permission functionality, since it becomes important if permissions are assigned on the Player or on their Character (lock functions pperm() and pid() etc check on Player rather than Character). This has the boon of allowing Admins to switch and play/test the game as a "Low access" character as they like.
Plenty of bug fixes and adjustments. Migrations should make sure to move over all data properly.
