249 (NEWS 436) - +HELP updates!
By Alara: Fantastic new addition to the +HELP system! The new column `attrib_eval` is a boolean that determines if the +HELP text is a call to an objects attribute rather than static text to display! For example, the +HELP CLOTHING article pulls direct from the wardrobe parent's description rather than storing all that a second time in the database.
For those who care, we simply make the +HELP text #dbref/attrib, and then set attrib_eval = 1 in the db record, and this functionality will work.
If I haven't noted it here, all +HELP articles have also been moved and imported with all data. The old softcoded database has been completely destroyed. As such, we lost a few @functions regarding formatting (footer(), header(), midline(), and fhtml()), but I found those in an old backup and restored them to a more global object, so they should all be working now.
We're now only missing Rules. And these articles are not necessarily missing. I just haven't set them up under the global "RULES" command in the new system yet. Rather they're currently being stored under UHELP.
