```Originally Posted : Thu Nov 05 02:07:08 2026 Posted by : Wildcat Title : Tsunami now speaks UTF-8 ---------------------------------------- The MUD now uses UTF-8 everywhere, including telnet, the web client, Discord, the boards, mail and the database. Accented letters (� � � �), curly quotes, symbols and emoji now show correctly for everyone, whichever client they use, and they come through Discord intact in both directions. Your saved aliases, titles, mail and tell history were converted. If you had the same alias typed two different ways (for example "�" from two clients), the newer one was kept. Most clients need nothing done. Mudlet switches to UTF-8 by itself: we nw offer the telnet CHARSET option. MUSHclient users should tick "UTF-8 (Unicode)" in the world's Output settings. If accented letters or symbols look like two odd characters (é instead of �), or what you type loses its accents, your client is still using Latin-1. This mostly happens with zMUD, older CMUD, BlowTorch or Windows telnet. To go back to Latin-1, type: setenv charset latin-1 With latin-1, characters your client can't show become the nearest plain one (a curly quote becomes ') or a "?". Use 'setenv charset ascii' for plain ASCII only, or 'setenv charset auto' (the default) to let your client and the MUD agree on it again. The setting is account-wide. Report anything that looks wrong with 'bug' or 'typo'. ``` [[Category:Changes_Board]]

```Originally Posted : Thu Nov 05 01:25:59 2026 Posted by : Wildcat Title : Tell several players at once ---------------------------------------- You can send one tell to several players again: separate the names with commas and no spaces, for example 'tell Frug,Friend,Hotmudchick Hi guys!'. Each player gets the tell as if you had told them on their own, so offline players have it stored and Discord-linked players get it there too. You can name up to 10 players at once, and repeated names are only told once. 'retell' after a group tell goes to the whole group again. 'tell friends' now works when more than one of your friends is online. Before, it failed with "No player named... exists". See 'help tell'. ``` [[Category:Changes_Board]]

```Originally Posted : Thu Nov 05 00:46:19 2026 Posted by : Wildcat Title : Armour wear rules and PK checks cleaned up ---------------------------------------- Armour now decides who can wear it from one shared set of rules (race, class and subclass), instead of an old hard-coded list of class numbers. All three armour bases (/obj/armour and both gen_eq armour inherits) use it. For every character with a current subclass nothing changes: the same characters were checked before and after and got identical answers for every armour type, metal or not. Characters without a current subclass now follow their class's armour rules instead of the old per-class list, which refusd dragons, fey, monsters and horrors almost everything. Beginners follow their race's rules as before. Fixed: checking whether you could wear an armour could leave the game treating you as the current player after the check (a stray this_player). Wizards can now wear any armour, as they can already wield any weapon. PK: the Spy-vs-Spy rule and the Chaosmage exceptions (may attack immortals, ignores PK OFF) now live in the Spy and Chaosmage subclass shadows instead of being hard-coded in the player object. The rules themselves are unchanged. Players pick this up on their next login. Armour items already loaded keep the old check until they are reloaded or the next reboot. ``` [[Category:Changes_Board]]

To remove it, use 'colour aggressive_monster', or 'colour account aggressive_monster' for the account setting.

Your settings have already been carried over to the new names (15,793 characters and 60 accounts were updated), so there is nothing you need to do. WHAT YOU SEE Everything you receive is now laid out for your own client: your colours, your screen width, your settings. Colours your client can't show are matched to the nearest one it can, and the game now asks your client how many colours it supports, so Mudlet and modern terminals get full colou on their own. NEW TAGS (on channels, tells, says, poses and boards) [code] [b]bold[/b] [i]italic[/i] [u]underline[/u] [s]strike[/s] [color=red]red[/color] [color=X45]xterm colour 45[/color] [color=#ff66cc]any colour[/color] [url=https://thebigwave.net]a link[/url] [img]https://example.com/pic.png[/img] [list][*]one[*]two[/list] [list=1][*]numbered[*]list[/list] [quote=Name]something said[/quote] [spoiler]hidden until selected[/spoiler] [/code] Use [code]...[/code] to show text exactly as typed. A tag that is never closed, like [code][U][/code] or [code]arr[i][/code], shows as plain text, and [code][[[/code] gives a single [code][[/code]. Links show their real address after the name.

'castle status' shows your castle, its treasury and upgrade costs. GUARDS - 'castle guards', 'castle hire guard' (up to three per room) and 'castle train guard'. - Guards stop outsiders getting further into your castle, and return after they're killed. TROPHY ROOM AND RAMPART - Trophy room: 'read records' for your castle, raid wins, council and recent history. - Rampart: 'survey' the guard rooms below. During a raid you can 'pour pitch' on raiders. RAIDS - Every Saturday 19:00-21:00 (game time) the castles are open to raids. - Fight through a rival castle to its throne room and 'claim throne' for your clan. - The clan with the most claims wins 5% bonus experience for the following week. OTHER CHAGES - A Call to Arms now also helps players without a clan, at half strength (except during a raid). - Free clan abandons now actually remove you from your clan. - 'castle status' showed the clan balance and total donated the wrong way round. - The Explorer Call to Arms works for players who already have a Berzerker frenzy. - 'initiate' accepts amounts with commas, and no longer takes your coins if someone else called a Call to Arms first.

ORB WEAVER - the trapper - weave (2): your webs entangle anyone who enters. - web sense (6): feel anything struggling in any of your webs, anywhere. - pull (10): drag prey into your web. - skitter (12): run along your silk to any of your webs. - eggsack (15): spin a sack, lay eggs and hatch young to hunt your foes. BOTH - bite, spin (cocoons) and the classic venom. - NEW: brewed toxins. 'do toxin <type>' fills your venom sacks, 'do toxin set <type>' chooses one, and 'do toxin auto on' laces every bite ith it. Wolf: hemotoxin, cardiotoxin, rhabdotoxin (weakens their attacks). Orb: hemotoxin, neurotoxin (clumsiness, dropped weapons), pneumotoxin (cuts healing). Your toxin packets show on your HP bar. Read 'help spider2' for the full guide, and 'help skills <name>' for each skill. THIS IS A PLAYTEST. Numbers will change and bugs are expected. Please report anything broken with 'bug', and send balance or design feedback with 'idea' - especially: - whether wolf or orb feels stronger or weaker - skill costs, cooldowns and the levels skills unlock at - toxins: too strong, too weak, or confusing? - anything that blocks you or behaves oddly during or after hatching Once it has had a round of feedback, Spider2 will replace the original Spider. Existing Spiders will then choose wolf or orb when they next log in, keeping their path's skills and getting a full exp refund for the rest.

[reboot] - Peaced characters can no longer keep attacking their curret target (trickster bombs and constructs included). [reboot] - Kills by an enlistee's own followers (skeletons, minions...) now give the warlord exp. [reboot] - Ghoul contagion no longer spreads to other players when the ghoul has nopk set (still spreads in war/arena). - Rime Strike damage now counts toward exp. - Autoraise no longer tries to raise combat by default. - Changelings can wear the Blazon of Change in every form (sphinx, fox, wyvern...). [new] ITEMS / QUESTS - SoulsBane now drops straight into your hands when the last Veritas statue falls. Before, it landed unseen in the dark Grand Arcade - check there if yours went missing. - J'Khar's aged white robe pocket opens properly when worn. [new] - Thalamur wrist-chain no longer errors, and 'detach chain' really frees the weapon. COMMANDS / TRAVEL - Hearthstone: a typo'd destination no longer triggers the cooldown or cost, and cooldown/cost only apply if the trip scceeds. - 'tell /offline' can no longer get stuck forever. It reads and clears your saved tells in one go and pages long lists. - 'do map' now works in mazes and dungeons (Proving Grounds etc), including rooms you haven't visited yet. - 'help rune ward', 'help rune lore' and 'help rune weaving' work now. - 'help aramitama' shows which skills belong to love and which to vengeance. - Shaolin fishing: no more errors when your basket is full, and 'discard' names the right fish. Closed as already fixed or by design: - Dungeon re-entry timer: removed in an earlier rework. - Runereaver 'inscribe sigil' usage text: already correct. - Whip of pain: its bleed has been a tracking-only blood trail since 2009, no damage over time. The helpfile now says so. See part 2 for new features and balance changes. ``` [[Category:Changes_Board]]

```Originally Posted : Wed Oct 28 23:03:51 2026 Posted by : Wildcat Title : New web client: client.thebigwave.net ---------------------------------------- Tsunami has a new web client, so you can play straight from your browser with nothing to install: https://client.thebigwave.net/ The "Play Now!" link on the website opens it too. It replaces the old web client (and the tsuwebclient.fly.dev copy the site used to link to) and now runs on Tsunami's own server, next to the game. It shows the game in a full terminal, with side panels for your vitals and room that update from GMCP, which is turned on for you automatically. The game also sees your real addres when you play through the web client, instead of the web client's address, so bans and multiplay checks treat web players like everyone else. If something doesn't look or work right, please report it with 'bug' or tell a wizard. ``` [[Category:Changes_Board]]

```Originally Posted : Wed Oct 28 22:26:27 2026 Posted by : Wildcat Title : Tsunami UI for Mudlet installs automatically ---------------------------------------- If you play with Mudlet, the game now offers you the Tsunami UI package when you connect, and Mudlet installs it (and later updates) by itself. It is darkpoole's TsuPackage: character and enemy vitals, damage tracker, equipment, backpacks and heals, now with a map panel that follows you as you walk. The newbie forest is already on the map. Mudlet players who never set up GMCP have the packages the UI needs turned on for them at login (char, enemy, room, area). Type 'gmcp' to see or change what the game sends yu. To control the package: gmcp ui off stop offering the package to your Mudlet gmcp ui on offer it again gmcp ui update send it to your Mudlet right now Mudlet's own setting "Allow server to install script packages" (Preferences, General) also turns it off. Panels can be moved and resized: 'lua Tsu.unlockAll()' and 'lua Tsu.lockAll()' in Mudlet, 'lua Tsu.resetLayout()' to start over. If you had installed an older TsuPackage by hand, uninstall it so the two don't overlap. Thanks to darkpoole for the package and mapper. Please report problems with 'bug'. ``` [[Category:Changes_Board]]

```Originally Posted : Wed Oct 28 22:14:57 2026 Posted by : Wildcat Title : Prompt markers (GA/EOR) and newbie start ---------------------------------------- Your prompt now ends with the telnet Go Ahead (GA) marker, or End of Record (EOR) if your client asks for it. Clients such as Mudlet use this to recognise the prompt, so Mudlet's N: latency display and isPrompt() triggers now work. Thanks to Raine for the request. Your prompt is also printed again after combat rounds, tells and other messages that arrive between your commands, so it stays the last line on your screen. If you don't want these: setenv no_goahead true stops the GA/EOR marker (only needed i your client shows stray characters after the prompt) setenv no_reprompt true stops the extra prompts after other messages Type 'setenv no_goahead' or 'setenv no_reprompt' on its own to remove the setting again. 'help prompt' has the details. Blind mode's spoken-style prompt (HP x of y, SP x of y, enemy percent) now actually appears when blindmode's prompt option is on. New players: the first character on a new account now starts straight in the new player training area instead of being asked. Later characters still get the choice, and 'newbiearea' still works for accounts younger than 12 months. Log out and back in to pick up the changes. ``` [[Category:Changes_Board]]
