Griatch	b8a13a2389	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.	2011-05-01 18:04:15 +00:00
Griatch	28fe2ad3f4	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.	2011-04-23 11:54:08 +00:00
Griatch	2f78bacd97	Added a check for multiple connected sessions to avoid moving disconnected object more than once. Resolves issue 145.	2011-03-19 22:17:00 +00:00
Griatch	bccd84e480	Fixed some bugs in the access system. Changed the "owner" default permission to "control" instead to more general. Added a new hook for setting locks for objects (the suspicion was that this would give lots of grief to newbies otherwise, now we have a lockdown policy in the absence of lock definitions).	2011-03-17 21:43:18 +00:00
Griatch	08b3de9e5e	OBS: You'll need to resync/rebuild your database! ... - This implements an updated, clearer and more robust access system. The policy is now to lock that which is not explicitly left open. - Permission strings -> Lock strings. Separating permissions and locks makes more sense security-wise - No more permissiongroup table; permissions instead use a simple tuple PERMISSIONS_HIERARCHY to define an access hierarchy - Cleaner lock-definition syntax, all based on function calls. - New objects/players/channels get a default security policy during creation (set through typeclass) As part of rebuilding and testing the new lock/permission system I got into testing and debugging several other systems, fixing some outstanding issues: - @reload now fully updates the database asynchronously. No need to reboot server when changing cmdsets - Dozens of new test suites added for about 30 commands so far - Help for channels made more clever and informative.	2011-03-15 16:08:32 +00:00
Griatch	6a13d07c55	Fixed some hooks to match wiki docs.	2011-02-14 18:31:16 +00:00
Griatch	c29649cd53	Made characters disappear from the room when their controlling player logs off. This is a trivial thing to customize, but the old default (leave the character objects in the room, although "headless") confused people.	2010-10-03 19:49:48 +00:00
Griatch	f83c2bddf8	Trunk: Merged the Devel-branch (branches/griatch) into /trunk. This constitutes a major refactoring of Evennia. Development will now continue in trunk. See the wiki and the past posts to the mailing list for info. /Griatch	2010-08-29 18:46:58 +00:00
