ADDED: Connections! Now you can "connect" with other people so you can chat with them privately. This is just like facebook`s friending system.
ADDED: Private chat with your connections from the bar at the bottom.
ADDED: A social networking bar at the bottom for all pages (or most at least). This is a sneak preview of the features to come to the website but the site chatroom actually works.
Some of the features to come...
- An event calendar that will allow you to plan gaming sessions (or anything else for that matter) with your connections.
- The ability to make connections (friends) and chat with them privately and manage them like you would on, say, facebook.
- A new notification system that will alert you to things that have happened in your games or anything else. Not only will you get a notification in your notification area but you`ll also get a facebook-like little message in the corner in real-time when it happens. It would include links to jump to the game that it occurred in and other such nifty things.
ADDED: Lots of stuff for scripting. See the scripting help section for details (though not a list of changes).
ADDED: Page controls for the object type page as well as the "new objects" panel in the world page.
CHANGED: The world page is a little more compact
lots of fixes and stuff too.
But for you developers here they are:
ADDED: Object classes can now be re-ordered. This is useful because you want to have the most used object class types at the top and least used at the bottom.
ADDED: Protection against endless loops or extra long script executions. Currently scripts cannot run longer than 10 seconds (this may change in the future as I think it may be too agressive)
ADDED: The following methods to the scripting interface on the game object level...
# GameObject[] getObjectsInString(String parameterName)
Text parameters can now contain special codes which identify a particular object in the game. Specify the parameter to read and this method will return all the game objects (found as codes that look like or O stands for object and L stands for location) found in the text of that parameter.
# void setObjectsInString(String parameterName, GameObject[] gameObjects)
Just like the get method, this set method will save a comma delimited list of game object codes so they can be read later. Just as an example, you may pass the targets variable into the gameObjects field for this method.
# void setObjectInString(String parameterName, GameObject gameObjects)
Just like the method above, this will set a parameter by the given parameterName to reference a single game object.
# boolean isNumber(String parameterName)
This will return true or false, determining if the given parameter (by parameter name) is a valid number or not.

ADDED: A new "Global Scripts" section. Scripts created here can be executed from other scripts using the following method...
tool.executeGlobalScript(String scriptName, Object parameter);
You may pass a single parameter to the script. In the global script the "parameter" will be available as "parameter". For example, if I passed in a game object, I could get the game object`s name like this...
parameter.getName();
Furthermore, the result of the executeGlobalScript() function is the result of the script. For example:
Global Script Name: Test Global Script
var test = 10;
result = 10+2;
And now I`ll execute that global script...
throw(tool.executeGlobalScript("Test Global Script", null));
The result of the above line will be an error message displayed to the user that simply says 12.
Official documentation on this feature will be available soon.
FIXED: Small bugs here and there
CHANGED: Editing parameter scripts is now way better. It actually opens up a full script editor rather than trying to write a script in a tiny box.
CHANGED: The help site is now more updated than it was before. Still more to be done on it though.
CHANGED: The front page. Woot. Finally it fits.
CHANGED: Enhanced a few pages to fit the rest of the site a bit better.
FIXED: Numerous GUI glitches.
Some really needed additions in this minor release...
ADDED: The ability to create a script that prompts the user for some text (which then gets fed to the script). For example, the DC of a skill check. (BIG AWESOME!)
ADDED: The ability to hide/reveal objects from players!!!!! The GM can always see all objects but not players.
(BIG BIG AWESOME)
ADDED: You can now tell a script that it is not to send the results of the script to the players. This means you can do listen/search checks and the players won`t see the result (if it makes sense to hide it from them). You can always re-associate the script results with them by clicking on "edit" on the message and assigning the message to any player in the game.
ADDED: Shortcut link on the location editor tab which allows the GM to navigate quickly to a location on the world tab.
ADDED: Shortcut link in the word tab for locations called "Edit Location" which automatically navigates to the location editor with the location selected.
ADDED: 2 links for the object editor. Now you can go directly to the game lobby OR just the object browser.
CHANGED: The GUI for the object editor now matches the rest of the site.
CHANGED: The location editor no longer gives an option for the 2nd image. It just shows 1 image now.
CHANGED: The location editor`s left pane is now bigger and adjusts based on the needs of the contents.
CHANGED: The location editor`s right pane wasn`t showing properly when there was a long list of locations.
FIXED: The locations in the word tab were not listing properly. Now they are. (I forgot to put a line feed after every location).
ADDED: executeScript() on the GameObjects (For scripting)
ADDED: trim() on the tool (For scripting)
ADDED: A top 5 click donor board
ADDED: Facebook and twitter follow/friend buttons
ADDED: An isGM variable for scripts
FIXED: Some GUI graphical issues
Also fixed some other things but were very minor.
Haleseen, your game was coming up with an error before, its ok now.
ADDED: Different font sizes (for headers) and TABLES! Now you can fill in object descriptions and add tables to them (for example, skills often have tables for DC checks).
Sample Table
| Sample Heading 1 | Sample Heading 2 |
| Sample data | Sample data2 |
| Sample Data3 | Sample Data4 |
To do this yourself, it works similar to HTML.
Instead of <table> its ": table" (without the space)
Instead of <tr> its ": row" (without the space)
Instead of <td> its ": cell" (without the space)
Instead of </td> its "cell :" (without the space)
Instead of </tr> its "row :" (without the space)
Instead of </table> its "table :" (without the space)
For the larger fonts (for headings) use the following...
": h1" and "h1 :" (again without the space)
": h2" and "h2 :" (again without the space)
Just be careful with this new feature! I don`t have any protection against missing tags yet! Thanks!
FIXED: Haleseen found a bug with deleting locations. It`s been fixed.
ADDED: OOC comments are now back in business
ADDED: Message dates! Now a mouse-over of the message will reveal the date the message was created.
FIXED: Graphical issue with player names on the GM game screen
FIXED: Error whe
