Counter-intuitive. Report last connection time range instead.
Unfortunately, this requires a change in output format.
(coun): Report on all countries even to mortals. This used to be
done, and was most probably changed because it gave away too much
information. Carefully limit the information given to mortals, as
follows. Limit last access information to whether deities or allies
are logged on right now, no longer report connection time for deities
that are not logged on. Remove column time for mortals, rename it to
BTU for deities. Report status, but with less detail if HIDDEN is
enabled.
undocumented feature: When a buyer didn't have enough money at the
time of the trade, the seller *automatically* granted a high-interest,
medium term loan for up to 90% of the price. This is just a silly
trap for unwary sellers and buyers alike.
(N_FIN_TROUBLE, N_CREDIT_JUNK): Unused, remove.
(rpt): Update accordingly.
unowned sectors. The assembly point must now be owned or allied, or
have an owned or allied ship.
Info pages didn't match the old rule. Fix them to match the new rule.
transient server state, not persistent game state. Remove.
(player_main, edit): Remove uses.
(coun): Use getplayer() instead of nat_connected. Delete the message
on command being out of order.
Add html links for info references. Remove inconsistent periods.
Add missing closing brackets. Change info to information to improve
readability. Improve the readability for range/lrange sentence.
the ASCII art to the original, gave credit to its creator, quoted from
WordNet (free) instead of American Heritage Dictionary, omitted parts
that might be illegal to distribute in certain countries, and improved
see also.
Previously, it printed how many were selected, which can include old
members of the group.
(flee, army): The rather obscure feature to assign the fleet's /
army's retreat orders to members was broken. It ignored ownership,
and thus could copy some other player's retreat orders. Abusable.
Copying the first member's retreat orders is less than useful, in
particular for group ~. The code now chooses the first one in the
same sector with RET_GROUP set. RET_GROUP is never set for group ~.
