July 2009 Bug Busting Summary Report

[Gardner Denver]

This list is a summary of all the work done this month on the Greatermud project.  This list is intended to give an overview to visitors to show them that this project is still very much alive, and that work is being done on a regular basis.  Most importantly, it shows that this program has actual, honest to God support, that responds to bugs as they are brought up, and fixes them.

7/18/09

• Individual items will now store their state information in the database
• Items will now track their uses properly
• Implemented a new slot system to make it easier to add new item slots
• Ground work has been laid for things such as item enhancements (+25 Paired Dragon Blades FTW)

07/24/09

• Spellcasters should no longer be able to PVP
• Verified Shop Regen rates for rare items is working properly
• Between round spells should not affect spell combat any longer

07/26/09

• Fixed the problem with the items database.  Items should no longer vanish on death/removal

07/27/09

• Fixed the bug that allowed you to BS with any weapon
• All hit spells on weapons should fire correctly now
• USE spells on items should work properly now

Unfortunatly, the database updates we did still need some tweaking.  Everything from the past 24 hours as far as exp, quests, and new players vanished.  We're very sorry about that and I'll make it up to the new players, just send a telepath to Gardner.

07/29/09

• Removed all 120+ copies of Sparky
• Added in limited item tracking
• Fixed last bug (we hope) in the database
