Aardwolf Update 08Aug04

-Have reduced the affect that resist and vuln have. Depending on how you play, this is either a good or bad change for you. The main reason behind this is that I have started work on variable resistances which will allow objects, spells, etc to add +/- resistance points to damage types and, unlike today, resists and vulns will stack. The catch with that is I cannot have a system with a 25% resistance item AND add skill/spell bonuses AND object bonuses. The biggest affect of this is of course the Aardwolf Breastplate. When this is all done with, the Aard BP will still be the most powerful item for resistances in the game, but you will never again see a single item that gives 25% resistance across the board.

- There is a new command called 'lastkills'. Syntax is pretty simple, you type it and if shows you the last 20 mobs/players killed. For mobs it also shows the area the mob is from and either exp rewarded or exp you would have been rewarded if you didn't have NOEXP on.

- Fixed the repops on clan areas - it is now 10 minutes as it should be.

- Repops in gquests are now back to working as they were prior to the global repop change. They should be faster now.

- Modified the code that is used to return items from pfiles when people divorce to include all owned items, not just aard eq. Note that this only covers spouses, items left on other chars is *always* at your own risk, please don't ask imms to retrieve them.

- Fixed OLC and shop removal - imms can now use 'shop delete #' to remove a shop buy type, and can use 'shop remove' to remove the shopkeeper settings from a mob completely. This no longer requires a reboot.

- Fixed the bug with gquest mobs giving credit before the gq has actually started.

- I set the 'ivoted' timer to 13 hours instead of just over 12 due to a possible timing issue with vote cycles. Please see 'help ivoted' for more info.
