248 (NEWS 435) - Knockin' Out a Few Ideas
By Alara: Dryad Windblow is now colored bright cyan so that it's more noticeable
Movement into a room now shows others the exit from which they came, and movement out shows the exit used. This is a bit complicated, but importantly, OENTER/OLEAVE on rooms has been completely blanked. Instead we now use the standard OSUCC/ODROP on exits for regular movement and OTPORT/OXTPORT on players for other kinds of movement.
It is important to note that OTPORT/OXTPORT is set to NOT give any message if an object is teleported out by anything but itself. This, then, assumes that any instance of @tel will be paired with a custom message (like Windblow). Since HOME does not have a paired HOME/AHOME/OHOME/OXHOME attrib set, we cannot get our usual blank line prefix on "Alara goes home", but it will always show, too, so other players can see when someone goes home instead of walking out.
