TinTin++

TinTin is a mud client that runs in console mode. TinTin should run on any unix/linux system (BSD, SuSe, Slackware, Debian, Mandrake, to name a few) and emulators, such as Cygwin for windows.

TinTin will also run on Mac OS X (OSX) 10.2 and higher. A windows port named WinTin (not to be confused with other Wintin clients) is available for those who do not use Cygwin.

What is new in this release:

• No advertisements for 2012, the world is about to end anyways.
• Optimized the mapper's path finding algorithm, significantly increasing performance.
• Added the #map vnum command to change the room's current vnum.
• #map link now requires the 'both' argument for a two-way exit to be created.
• Added support to #format for %f to print floating point numbers.
• Added roomweight to the #map get and #map set options. By default the weight of a room is set to 1.0 and can be anywhere from 0.001 to 1000. The path finder will favor rooms with a low weight.
• Added terrain as a searchable option to #map list, goto, find, and run.

What is new in version 2.00.7:

• Added basic low level VT100 stripping for answer back codes.
• Added MSDP array support.
• Added a set and get option to #map exit that stores and retrieves from a data field. It's suggested to use tables as no further field extensions are planned.
• Added the terrain and data fields to #map set and #map get.
• Added MTTS support which works in conjunction with #config CHARSET and #config 256 COLOR.
• Changed #script to behave as a two argument command by default. Use braces if you want to call it with one argument.
• Added a #line ignore option to execute a command without checking any triggers.
• Added a 256 COLOR config option used negotiate 256 color usage with servers.
• Added support for UTF-8 handling with #config CHARSET UTF-8 enabled.
• Added a #config CHARSET option which can be either BIG5, UTF-8.
• Fixed word boundary matching for highlights and substitutions.
• No longer performing math on table keys to reduce false positives. Math is still performed when looking up an index.
• Renamed #path map to #path show.
• Added a #path unzip option that'll properly load speedwalks.
• Added a #log off option. #log append and overwrite can now be called while already logging.

What is new in version 2.00.5:

• Fixed a bug with embedded variables not getting properly substitued when used in nested variables.
• Fixed a bug with the verbose state being lost when starting a new session using an alias.
• Added the option to provide a vnum for #map delete.
• Added the option to create vnum specific MAP events, like MAP EXIT ROOM 41 or MAP ENTER ROOM 27.
• Fixed the MAP EXIT ROOM event, it was reporting the next room rather than the current room for %0. %1 now holds the new room, and MAP ENTER ROOM will hold the old room in %1.
• Fixed split settings not getting properly inherited from the startup session.

What is new in version 2.00.4:

• Added a better verbatim and verbosity handler to more generically deal with aliases and input triggered events.
• Several mapper messages are no longer displayed when used in scripts.
• #zap now takes an optional argument to zap a specific session.
• When UTF8 is defined in tintin.h UTF8 characters should get wordwrapped correctly, still needs a #config option.
• Added support for named MSDP events, for example IAC SB MSDP HEALTH would trigger on the HEALTH variable being updated, with %0 holding the value.
• Added #map uninsert command which does the exact opposite of the #map insert command.
• Added #map at command which executes the given commands at the given location.
• Fixed the #path zip command.
• Added better #prompt {line} {substitution} {0} support to print a mud prompt and pending input on the 0 line. Works well in combination with #split 0 0.
• Added #map map 80x20 {a} option to log in append mode, by default an overwrite is performed.
• Added the option to use #path load {n;e;s;w;u;d}
• When using #path run {delay} you can remove pending run commands by using: #undelay PATH %d

What is new in version 2.00.3:

• Added MAP ENTER MAP and MAP EXIT MAP events.
• #write now only saves triggers that do not belong to a class.
• Lowered the buffer size to 20,000 because of crash reports.
• Added MSDP_OPEN and MSDP_CLOSE support, as well as support for arrays.
• #variable allows additional arguments which can be used to merge tables.
• #list {var} create/add now allow semi-colon separated arguments.
• When using the auto mapper, an exit's exit command will behave like an alias when following the map.
• Statements like %+10s now ignore colors.
• Added NOFOLLOW flag support to stop auto following of the mapper.
• Added #map dig {dir} {} option to dig an exit to the given vnum.
• Added #map goto {} {dig} option to have goto dig a room if it doesn't exist.
• Merged the #map exit and #map exitdir commands into the #map exit command, adding options for COMMAND, DIRECTION, FLAG, NAME, and VNUM.
• Added support for GMCP events and JSON to TINTIN conversion.
• When path finding the path will be highlighted on the ASCII map.

What is new in version 2.00.2:

• Updated mapper messages to only show up on manual input.
• Function arguments are no longer separated by spaces but by semicolons, strongly suggested to check your scripts for old functions, and update them.
• Added BIG5 support to the parse command.
• Removed the #suspend command, #cursor suspend is available instead.
• Using $variable[%*] on a non existing nest now returns an empty string rather than 0 so they can be used in loops.
• Added the PROGRAM_START, SCREEN_RESIZE, SESSION_ACTIVATED, and SESSION DEACTIVATED events.
• Added an optional vnum argument to #map get and #map set commands so #map goto isn't required to loop through all rooms.
• Added a #config option to enable BIG5 support.
• Added the #line substitute options which allows the substitution of variables, functions, colors, and escape codes in the provided command argument.

What is new in version 2.00.1:

• Added better \b handling.
• #path load and #path save now load and save to variables, rather than aliases.
• Added #map dig {} {new} option.
• Added documentation for #map exitdir
• Added support for loading map files edited in Windows.
• Updated #buffer get to store in reverse if the lower bound is higher than the upper bound.
• Fixed floating point handling issues.

What is new in version 2.00.0:

• Changed the substitution order of #list add so it'll work better with nested variables.
• Added support for escaping functions using @@.
• Trigger priorities can now have a floating point precision.
• Added a #buffer get option to aid in creating multi-line triggers.

What is new in version 1.99.9:

• Fixed a math bug with negative numbers.
• Added #buffer clear option.
