So, its March, so its about time for the monthly post about what’s happened in the past month. Unfortunately, due to all kinds of circumstances, not much has happened. Here’s the relatively short list:

• Have all programs automatically daemonize themselves.
• Perform logging to a file by default, not to stdout/stderr.
• Added /cc command for doing colorized chat.
• Added /qlang command for setting the language to browse quests in for multi-lingual quest support (this isn’t turned on in any of the ships yet, since I’m missing all the quests in different languages other than for the DC — I’m missing some of the DC ones as well (special event ones is pretty much it), but I have most of them).

That’s pretty much all that’s happened in the past month. For reference, the SVN is up to r407 now (so only a total of 20 revisions since last month, a much slower pace than things were going before that).

So, here’s the monthly newspost to make sure everyone knows that things are still moving along. Right now, Iselia and Altimira are both running the Valentines Day event on the ships. Not that that is terribly important to know…

Anyway, as for what’s changed since the last one of these posts, lets see (wow, the last one of these list posts was in December?!):

• Added in full word select translation between DC, PC, and Episodes I & II.
• Allow linking of quests to the event running on the ship.
• Added support for .qst format quests in the ship server.
• Added nicknames on the friendlist.
• Initial support for multi-lingual quests on ship server.
• Added commands: /ll, /npc, /ignore, /unignore, /quit
• Added GM-Only commands: /stfu, /unstfu, /gameevent, /ban:d, /ban:w, /ban:m, /ban:p, /unban
• Made it so a ship can be set to disallow versions it doesn’t want to allow, as well as making it possible to set a ship to be accessible to Global GMs only.
• Initial support for PSO Episode III (note that you can’t actually battle yet).
• Translation of C-Mode grave data between PSODC and PSOPC.
• Switch from using libexpat to libxml2 for config parsing.
• Don’t allow lower privilege users to bully higher privilege ones (privileges are checked against each other on /kill, /gban:*, and /stfu commands).
• Various bugfixes (that I don’t necessarily remember).

Whew… That’s what I call an update list. For those counting, the last list of updates came after revision 287 to the SVN. We’re now up to revision 391. 😉

Anyway, that’s all for this month, I guess.

A second piece of large news for Sylverant in less than 7 days? Amazing, no?

I’d like to take this post to welcome Aleron Ives’ awesome PSOv1, PSOv2, and PSOPC website PSO Palace to the Sylverant family. Also, you may have noticed the new ship floating over there to the left named Altimira. That ship is the official ship of PSO Palace, and another welcome addition to the Sylverant family. I hope that anyone out there will welcome the members of PSO Palace to our community with open arms!
