* Added 3 more of the new card effects -- check item_bonus.txt [celest]
* Added 'bonus4' to support the new card effects that might need up to 4
parameters [celest]
* Set 'killerrid' and do PCKillEvent before calling PCDieEvent, thanks to
mrmagoo for pointing it out [celest]
* Added some new script event related options to script config [celest]
- [die/kill/login/logout]_event_name: Name of script to activate when an
event has occured
- event_requires_trigger: whether or not a 'set [EventName],1;' has to be
defined first for the event to be activated
* Added 8 of the new card effects on the 2/15's patch (still untested and
not yet added to the item_db)
- Refer to doc/item_bonus.txt for description
* Minor rewrites on self and enemy weapon/armor breaking during battle [celest]
* Added missing code for 'bBreakWeaponRate' and 'bBreakArmorRate' effects
[celest]
* Added missing code for 'bAddStealRate' effect [celest]
* Removed redundant 'infinite_autospell' in map_session_data [celest]
* Fixed Treasure Box spawn bug in all castles. [Lupus]
* Fixed wrong PresentLOG (it wasn't showing PRESENT BOX type ID) [Lupus]
* Expanded Monsters Drops Slots from 8 to 10. Everywhere in the sources. [Lupus]
But in TXT / SQL monsters DB reading functions, I added a temp plug
to make eA work fine with existing DBs. It reads only 8 drops and fills
9th and 10th drops with Zero.
On expanding MOB_DB.TXT we'll remove that plug.
We are adding new cards and some monsters
have no free slots for them. Current state is tested and works fine.

It also shows MVP bonuses (MVP EXP, MVP Drops)
02/05
* increased the max_files allowed in a grf [1054: MouseJstr]
* Changed the way char deletion works for SQL [1051: Ajarn]
- If the email the client fails check then check if the
email is blank and the DB email is a@a.com (default)
If so, assume it was created with _M/_F, and delete it
* SQL Login accepts _M/_F now [Credit to Sirius] [1049: Ajarn]
* Map server now actually reads bind_ip [1048: Ajarn]
Side note: login reads bind_ip, but doesn't use login_ip now.
* Made eA compile under AMD64 64-bit native [1047: MouseJstr]
* Changed interface binding to use a bind_ip instead of using
the login_ip, char_ip, or map_ip. This lets you still be
able to set your WAN IP seperate from what interface you
wish to bind to. Also, the default is back to binding to
all interfaces on the machine. [1045: MouseJstr]
* optimizing OnTouch event name generation [Shinomori]
* fixing Celests Sharp Shooting [Shinomori]

* Added common/buffer.(c/h) [SVN 1033: Ajarn]
* Login server can now set it's ip address in the config [SVN 1033: Ajarn]
* Servers now bind to a single ip address, thus allowing multiple servers to
a single port [SVN 1033: Ajarn]
* Added experimental code to generate a stack dump when it segfaults, thanks
to Ser [celest]
- does not work with Cygwin, as it does not have glibc
- to enable, edit the Makefile and remove the # on the line:
# OPT += -DDUMPSTACK -rdynamic
- What it does: everytime eA crashes it'll generate a file "stackdump_
<number>.txt" in your save folder with a backtrace, which you can
examine and send to a dev to be fixed.
* Some more tidying up in status_get_ functions [celest]
02/03
* When loading shop scripts automatically check if the prices can be exploited
with OC/DC [celest]
* If the buying price provided in item_db.txt is above 2x higher than selling
price for an item no need to reset and redetermine the buying price [celest]

its sp_rate requirement [celest]
* Updated skill_range_leniency code when casting a ground targetting spell
( as in Revision 968) [celest]
* Added Karma and Manner to const.txt
-- To change a player's alignment to more Good/Evil in scripting for example,
use:
set Karma, Karma + <number here>;
In older exe's (11-08 or older) you can actually check your karma in the
character alignment screen (alt-A)
The rest is up to your scripting creativity ^^
* Delete players' ID from id_db when kicking everyone from the map-server due
to char disconnection -- Fixes an odd crash with lazy mob AI [celest]
* Added at(@) command @autoloot, which turns autoloot on or off for the
player who uses it [Upa-Kun]
01/29

support it [celest]
* Added base code for Party Item Sharing -- still needs some work in client-
server support [celest]
* new GC link http://amber.stormbirds.org/~joshs/gc6.4.tar.gz
This fixes some issues... works better
* Added macros skill_chk and skill_get to check for out of bounds errors when
retrieving info from the skill_db [celest]
01/27

the new source files:
-- skill_status_change_ -> status_change_
-- battle_get_ -> status_get_
-- pc_calc_ -> status_calc_
-- pc_getrefinebonus and pc_percentrefinery -> status_getrefinebonus and
status_percentrefinery
* Updated auto_counter_type's description in battle_athena, thanks to
akusarujin for pointing it out [celest]
* Removed some unnecessary skill level checks in battle.c [celest]
* Removed my changes to /stable/Makefile which has libGC enabled by default
that i've accidentally commited, sorry ^^; [celest]
* Removed an unnecessary "cloneskill_lv" from map_session_data [celest]
* Removed WATER.TXT (this file wasn't used at all. There's no such mapflag as WATER even). [Lupus]
* Added Water Height of New Yuno Fileds 9 and 11.
Now Water Ball works there as should. Wizards could levelup on sleepers, too. [Lupus]
* libGC isn't ready to be the default quite yet... [MouseJstr]
Enough people have asked so... Once you grab a copy of the
libGC library from (http://amber.stormbirds.org/~joshs/gc6.3.tar),
you start up a bash shell from inside cygwin and untar
the gc6.3.tar. This will produce a gc6.3 directory. Then
cd into that directory and type ./configure. Once that is
done you type "make" and then "make install". This will
spray the various includes and libraries all over your
cygwin install (most in /usr/local).
Now, edit Makefile and change the CC line to use the
CC = gcc -pipe -DGCOLLECT
entry. Also change the GCLIB to
GCLIB = -L/usr/local/lib -lgc
Remember to comment out the ones no longer used. Do a clean
build and good luck. Obviously, this has not been tested
by that many people so you really are on the cutting edge
but if you have good results, send me a note
(joshs@stormbirds.org) so that we can see if it really is
ready for prime time.
What should you see? Well, the map-server should not
grow/consume extra memory anymore. More so, it should use
dramatically less memory then it did before using the
garbage collector.
The downside is that it will consume a little more CPU...
The question is, how much? how laggy? what effect on lots
of players? I've heard stories saying it makes the server
unplayable and others told me that they saw no
player-visible effects at all.
01/25
* Fixed TXT compile problems with libGC [celest]
* Added "Clients older than 2004-09-06aSakray" option to packet_ver_flag in
battle_athena, just in case server owners still prefer the older clients.
With so many changes to Sakray over the past months its much better upgrading
to the newer clients (November or higher recommended) available ;P [celest]
* Merged Full Strip into jA's tidier stripping skills code -- also fixes
a typo that was causing Full Strip to do the reverse effect instead,
and the skill not updating the target's status after successfully unequipping
items [celest]
* Tidy up the 4 chemical protection skills into one code block [celest]
* Corrected Slim Pitcher's code -- sorry, i missed a few things ^^; [celest]
01/24
* Fixed a typo in Provoke that was causing crashes [celest]
* Fixed another compile warning in src/char/char.c
[SVN 985] [MouseJstr]
* Fixed a account wipe bug in login/login.c (Thanks Wallex)
[SVN 984] [MouseJstr]
* Fixed a crash in char_sql/char.c where people were selecting
chars before requesting connections [SVN 983] [MouseJstr]
* some G++ compile tweaks and got through several files in the
map server - [SVN 976] [MouseJstr]
Why are we doing a C++ conversion? We have a lot of duplicate
code and would like to make the "classes" in the server share
code.. For example, a pet should be able to share code from
the player or from a mob. Similerly, introducing a new type
of entity in the game should be as simple as creating a
sub-class instead of having to crawl through the entire source
tree searching for every class check and introducing handler
code in for your new type.
Finally, while a garbage collector is "cool", it would still
be nice to have enough object knowledge on how to clean up
data that it is not absolutely required. It is faster for
us to clean up our own messes then introduce a whole system
for cleaning up after ourselves.
Is there a C++ performance penalty? Not if the code is
written correctly. For example
1) No templates - code bloat and destroys cpu cache
coheriancy
2) No C++ exceptions - slows down entering and
exiting functions
3) No operator overloading - makes it hard to
understand what is going on.
4) No C++ STL libraries - Templates, huge, bloated,
unportable
5) No method inlining - code bloat and reduces cache
coheriancy. Let the optimizer do it...
01/23
* char-server (SQL & TXT), login-server (SQL & TXT), and txt-coonvertors
(char and login) all compile on g++ now [svn 975] [Ajarn]
* Fixed the sizeof errors in g++ [SVN 972] [Ajarn]
* Reverted back some of the char* changes [SVN 972] [Ajarn]
* Changed parse_script to now return char* [SVN 969] [Ajarn]
* Converted run_script and run_script_main from unsigned char* to char*
[SVN 969] [Ajarn]
* Forgot a couple small changes [SVN 35] [Ajarn]
* Changed map_data.gat and map_data_other_server.gat from unsigned char*
to char* (this might be needed, because of unicode or something, please
correct me if I'm wrong) [SVN 34] [Ajarn]
* Converted decode_zip, encode_zip, remove_control_chars, mapif_sendall*,
and e_mail_check to use char* instead of unsigned char* (again, please test)
[SVN 34] [Ajarn]
* Modified skill unit group checking in skill_unit_onplace that might have
been causing crashes [celest]
* Updated packet 0x143 length's for version 14 (2004-11-01Sakexe) and version
16 (2005-01-10Sakexe), thanks to jathena and ice2big [celest]
* Fixed login-server compile error with the "new" -> "new_" changes [celest]
01/22
* Fixed an error that was in my last commit (optimising g++ build) [SVN 29]
[Ajarn]
* Made strlib functions char*, instead of unsigned char*. Strings are meant
to be char. (Shouldn't break anything, but might, please test this for me)
[SVN 26] [Ajarn]
* Added cast for TXT version [SVN 25] [Ajarn]
* Added cast from allocation calls, from void* to intended type [SVN 24] [Ajarn]
* Changed bool -> bool_. Still need to make convertions between
char* and unsigned char* valid, and some other convertions too.
Also, sizeof is being used wierd in map.c, at least g++
complains [SVN 22] [Ajarn]
* Changed the rest of the class variable names to class_ and all the new
variable names to new_, for futher g++ support [SVN 21] [Ajarn]
* Update both caster and target's SP after using Soul Change -- thanks to Aalye
/ Freya [celest]
* Force a monster to switch attack target when being casted Provoke [celest]
* Corrected description for @enablenpc -- "@npcon" -> "@enablenpc" [celest]
* Since job normalising is still buggy require all 1st class skills to check
for Basic Skill level when calculating the skill tree [celest]
01/21
* Updated packet DB configurations : enable_packet_db, packet_db_ver,
-- check the .txt for description [celest]
Note: For people having connection problems try setting 'enable_packet_db'
to 'no'... and use the latest client (01-10Sakexe)
* Fixed a small typo in 12-06's packets -- 21b => 21d [celest]
* Updated packet_db.txt to only contain the latest version, like jAthena,
since there's not much point to re-read packets eA already supports
(although if you remove all the //'s it can still read multiple versions)
[celest]
* Added clif_config in clif.c - for keeping packet/client connections related
stuff [celest]
* Send 'Game Exe not latest version' to a client if it hasn't been authentified
yet, but is sending a non-connection-related packet to prevent crashing
-- assume the client is using an unknown exe [celest]
01/20
* Fixed compile time problems with the non-GC case [MouseJstr]
* Introduced aMallocA and aCallocA
These two functions allocate "atomic" memory which means
"memory that does not contain references to other memory".
This lets the garbage collector ignore these objects when searching
memory for references to other objects dramatically increasing
performance of the GC.
When in doubt, use aMalloc and aCalloc. It is better to add
a tiny bit of work to the GC then do cause a crash due to memory
being cleaned up when it shouldn't.
[MouseJstr]
* Modified all calls to aMalloc and aCalloc that reference
atomic memory to use aMallocA and aCallocA
[MouseJstr]
* Modified the socket buffer allocator to use "atomic" memory
for the fifo data buffers [MouseJstr]
01/19
* added support for the Hans-J. Boehm libC garbage collector
(A copy is in http://amber.stormbirds.org/~joshs/gc6.3.tar).
It is ABSOLUTELY critical for people to use
aFree/aMalloc/aCalloc/aStrdup for this to work. If somebody
has just used free or malloc, this will crash when used with
the garbage collector.
A amusing environmental variable to set is GC_PRINT_STATS (to 1)
so that you see real time statistics of leaked data being
recovered.
grab a copy of the gc6.3.tar.. build it .. install it..
modify the Makefile to have the
CC = gcc -pipe -DGCOLLECT
GCLIB = -lgc
lines... and make the sql servers (the txt server doesn't
build using this right now due to stupid Makefile issues)
[MouseJstr]
* SVN 3 on http://svn.stormbirds.org/svn/eathena will be what
I diff against when I merge back into delta.. if we ever merge
back into delta [MouseJstr]
* Removed 12-06 Sakexe detection, since it doesn't seem to work, and
might be conflicting with 10-25 clients [celest]
* Update the Soul Burn target's SP when it has been successfully reduced to 0,
thanks to Aalye / Freya [celest]
* Moved SC_PRESERVE and SC_BATTLEORDERS's id so they'll display a status icon
when cast, thanks XiaoLin of cAthena [celest]
* Added missing code for Preserve -- i totally forgot to add it ^^; [celest]
01/18
* Added some skill bug fixes, thanks to Aalye / Freya [celest]
- stop player attacking if the target goes into hiding
- fixed Sword Reject not working against swords, only daggers
- additional check in case Marionette Control doesn't end properly even
when one of the partners has logged off
* Added stun, bleeding and SP loss effect for Pressure, thanks to DracoRpg
[celest]
* TEST: Fixed more compile warnings in MSVC [celest]
* TEST: Fixed some compile errors in MS Visual C++, thanks to Ser [celest]
01/17
* Some rewrites in skill_delayfix [celest]
- If the delay is < 0, add the weapon aspd delay to it
- If the skill is not weapon type, and has 0 delay, add 300ms as default
* Added min_skill_delay_limit as the minimum allowed delay for any skills
[celest]
* Some tidying up in battle_get_ functions [celest]
* Set exp table and job bonus table to 0 before reading - might solve some
memory bugs [celest]
* Updated skill range leniency code - If possible try and move towards the
skill target so that when casting it no longer falls out of range [celest]
01/15
* Added effects to enemies for Gospel [celest]
* Added mobs spawn to all Yuno fields (according to 4th Jan patch) [Lupus]

* Fixed Berzebub card and other 'reduce cast delays' equipment not working
[celest]
* Updated packet_db.txt loading to support reading into multiple packet
versions [celest]
* Removed packet_db_ver defining in packet_db.txt -- it'll determine itself
based on MAX_PACKET_VER [celest]
* Integrated packet size and function DB's into 1 packet_db [celest]
* Added MAX_PACKET_VER -- maximum versions supported by eA, including the
packet_db -- and changed packet size and function DB's to use it [celest]
* When sending 'Game exe not latest version' packet don't close the session
immediately so it will still be delivered [celest]
* Added map-server display if an unidentified client was rejected --
also fixes the 'empty string sent to _showmessage' [celest]
* Added a bug - Celest, LOOK AT THIS BUG ASAP. [Codemaster]
* Tided up/fixed some mobs [Lupus]
01/12
* Implemented Vending Log [Lupus]
TODO: use log option to log only important deals (much money, rare items, etc)
01/11
* Added Shinomori's changes to npc event timers (I never realised it, thanks
^^; ) [celest]
* Updated clif.c to be able to identify client versions based on the packet DB
[celest]
* Correct packet_db_ver to the maximum version allowed if it was set too high
or too low in packet_db.txt [celest]
* Added support for 2005-01-10Sakexe [celest]
* Updated packet functions for 2004-11-08 and 2004-12-06 (Note: eA *can*
support 12-06, but still doesn't recognise it... so unless we find a way,
it is *not* supported yet) [celest]
* Updated packet_db, thanks to Sara-chan [celest]
* REMOVED support for clients before packet version 10 (2004-08-25 and
earlier) - the client will receive a 'Game Exe not latest version' message
[celest]
* Added a check to prevent crashing when trying to log in with
2005-01-10aSakexe in servers that don't support it [celest]
* Added a fix to @sound where if you forgot the .wav exention, i'd attempt to play the file without it (it adds the .wav) [Codemaster] [SVN 949]
* Added @disguiseall / @undisguiseall [Codemaster] [SVN 949]
* Added misc. clif.c fixes (jAthena added alot of close(fd)'s, so i added them, too) [Codemaster] [SVN 949]
* Added bug reports - Celest, you might want to check one of those out [Codemaster] [SVN 949]

01/10
* Completed adding packet DB reading... still needs (a lot) more work in
clif.c [celest]
* Added Shinomori's suggestions for npc timers, thanks again ^^ [celest]
* Removed checking for script event timers' length, and added Shinomori's
changes [celest]
* Start adding packet DB reading [celest]
* Added 'max_eventtimer_length' (default is 32) to script_athena.conf. [celest]
Some event timers with names longer than 24 could cause the server to close
itself, change this if you need support for even longer names
* Removed PCLoginEvent requiring 'PCLoginEvent' for the player to be set to 1
first to be activated. [celest]
* Added Shinomori and orn's fix for the skill tree to only check the first
required skill in the DB and skipping the rest [celest]
* Modified 'wedding' script command to work with "OnTimer" scripts even without
doing 'attachnpctimer' (The 'player not attached' error will still display,
but the effect will appear *over the NPC* instead of the player...
at least it won't fail ^^) [celest]
* Added 'attachnpctimer' script command for attaching the player to the current
npc's timer in "OnTimerxxxx" scripts, thanks to Wallex for the idea. [celest]
Syntax:
attachnpctimer;
attachnpctimer "<Player Name">;
Check /npc/sample/npc_test_npctimer2.txt for example.
* Added 'detachnpctimer' script command for detaching players from the npc's
timer. [celest] Syntax:
detachnpctimer;
detachnpctimer "<NPC Name">;
* Added 'OnInterIfInitOnce' for WoE scripts & modified the WoE scripts as well [Ajarn & Codemaster] [Thanks to FREYA] [SVN 943]
* Added the @sound command and the NPC command of soundeffectall
- works just like soundeffect, but plays for everyone in the area [Codemaster] [SVN 942]
* Don't allow Pets to attack Guardians outside of WoE [Codemaster] [SVN 940]
* Require 15% of HP or more for WE_MALE skill [Codemaster] [SVN 940]
* Require 15% of SP or more for WE_FEMALE skill [Codemaster] [SVN 940]
01/07
* Upon changing to high novice 100 stat points should be given, not 88 [celest]
* Give high novices First Aid and Trick Dead upon job changing [celest]
* Remove some unnecessary checks in battle.c [celest]
* Added some checks to prevent novices still allowed to attack when using
Trick Dead [celest]
* Added 'summon' script command. Syntax:
summon <monster name>,<monster id>[,<event>];
Example: 'summon "Poring", 1002, "OnPoringKilled"; 'will summon (note:
not *spawn*) 1 poring that'll help its master for 1 minute,
and activate the "OnPoringKilled" event when killed.
'summon "--ja--",-1;' will summon a random monster.
* Added Wallex's fix for the wedding script functions [celest]
* Added the below-mentioned alive packet to SQL's char and login [celest]
* Enabled login server 'anti-freeze' by default as a temporary solution
to char-login disconnection [celest]
* The TXT char server was rejecting login's "i'm alive" packet and disconnecting
it... fixed [celest]
* Stall_time wasn't being read in login_athena at all (not by the login server,
because the code didn't read it, nor by TXT map server, since its in the SQL
inter_athena.conf reading)... so moved it to inter_athena.conf, and
change sql_config_read in map.c to inter_config_read [celest]
* Some tidying up of battle_get_def and _def2 [celest]
* Added 'bDelayrate' and changed Phen card, Marduk Card and Berzebub Card's
effects to use this instead of bCastrate (which was reducing casting time,
not delay time) [celest]
* Some tidying up of skill_castfix and skill_delayfix [celest]
* Added Filougarou's fix for Bowling Bash causing it to only display damage,
but doesn't do any - thanks! [celest]
* Set delay_dependon_dex in battle_athena to 'no' by default [celest]
Note: Just to clarify things, on official servers dex is not supposed to
reduce skill delays, only Poem of Bragi and Berzebub card does!
* Fixed typo in skill_delayfix - reduce delays only if delaynodex was *not* set,
sorry ^^; [celest]
01/06
* Fixed various memory corruptions causing crashes (SVN 925) [MouseJstr]
* Fixed typo in src/map/map.c causing compile
errors (SVN 924) [MouseJstr]
* Removed the alive_timer mechanism entirly replaced with
a stall detection mechanism that will disconnect a player
who has not sent any data for a configurable
(conf/login_athena.conf:stall_time) amount of time. The default
is currently 60 seconds.
The root cause of the disconnect error is that some NAT based
routers are not dropping the TCP connection when the aliased
machine goes offline abnormally. This means that we are seeing
a stalled but perfectly valid TCP connection.
(SVN 924) [MouseJstr]
01/05
* Fixed some typos in map_versionscreen() [MC Cameri]
* Removed loop freeing in map-server's do_final(), it was causing seg faults [MC Cameri]
* Finished do_storage_final() in map-server's do_final(), it was there but doing nothing [MC Cameri]
* Fixed Celest's typo making all vended items cost 0 zeny [Codemaster] [SVN 919]
* If a vending item was priced at 0 it'll be auto changed to 1million [celest]
* Fixed TXT logging - log_athena.conf reading was kind of messed up [celest]
* Added a simplified version of Qamera's OnConnect: OnDisconnect: OnDeath:
NPC events mod, (All credits go to him.) except adapted based on eA's current
PCLoginEvent. (by davidsiaw) [celest]
- Currently only 4 events have been added: PCDieEvent, PCKillEvent,
PCLogoutEvent and PCLoginEvent
- For notes and usage example check /npc/sample/PCLoginEvent.txt (by
davidsiaw)
- To enable them for a player in a script, do
"set <name of event>, <0 or 1>;"
(yes it's saved in a permanent character variable and auto read every time)
- Simply put, if any of them is set to 1 the appropiate event will activate
p.s - Scripters who are already using PcLoginEvent, you'll need to add a
"set PCLoginEvent, 1;" now, sorry for the trouble.
* Optimised PCLoginEvent activation a bit [celest]
* Set 'droprate0item''s default to 'yes' so that items with 0 rate will never
drop [celest]
* Look at item type other than item ID as well to check whether it is a card
in card-related script commands - better support for custom items [celest]
* Reset all skill variables if the skill fails so certain skills can't be
abused (such as Warp, thanks to Alex14 for pointing it out) [celest]
* Added /mapflag/noreturn.txt for disabling butterfly wings (not fly wings)
[celest]
* Fixed skill_require_db reading somehow getting corrupted if weapons usable
for the skill is more than 20, thus causing the skills to fail everytime

Alex14 [celest]

01/02
* Re-fixed map-server crashing if an empty line is in skill_castnodex.txt,
thanks to Alex14 for pointing it out (SVN 899) [celest]

self breaking chances (SVN 900) [celest]
* Reduced MAX_SKILL_LEVEL to 10 to save a bit of memory and speed [celest]
* Tidied up parts in skill_castfix a bit (SVN 895) [celest]
* Fixed map-server crashing if an empty line was added in any of the skill-xx
db files (SVN 895) [celest]
* Updated skill_castnodex reading - An *optional* 3rd value can be added to set
whether a skill's delay time can be affected by dex (SVN 895) [celest]
Example: 46,1,1 - double strafe's delay is not affected by dex
46,1,0:0:0:0:1 - only level 5 double strafe is not affected by dex
* More atempts at memory leak fixes [Codemaster] [SVN 890]

char server before exiting to eliminate storage/inventory
inconsistancies.. [MouseJstr] (SVN 793)
* Some cleanup of spiritball memory management [MouseJstr]
* Dramatic performance work for exp updates to sql. Previously, [MouseJstr]
when u killed a mob (in party share), it would cause the char_server to
1) Delete all guilds for all members of your party
2) Re-create all guilds for all members of your party with the new exp
values.
Now it just generates 2 sql statements per party member,
1) update the guild exp,
2) update the guild_member exp.

* Allowed the NPCs without proper curly brackets to still load, but give an error still [Codemaster]

"adjusts" the skill tree before persisting to the character
server [MouseJstr]
* made pc_makesavestatus() properly persist skills that are
unavailable but not forgotten (example, spiral pierce). You can now
get spiral pierce, get off your peco, log out, log in, and
get back on your peco and still have not lost the skill

the skill tree gets changed, players loosing the points. [MouseJstr]

* Updated CSS styles for readme a bit [Aria]

later, once we are happy with it.. and feel it is stable, we will remerge it back into the main tree via the appropriate svn commands
as a FYI, the command I used to create this branch was:
svn copy http://dev.deltaanime.net:8080/svn/eathena/athena http://dev.deltaanime.net:8080/svn/eathena/packetdb -m "branch for packetdb work"

-Changed guild_skillup functions based on japanese code, but for a good reason.
It allows for guild skill trees, sort of. I made Kafra Contract and Guardian Research require Guild Approval, for instance.
I think the first four new guild skill requirements are correct, at the least.
I hope everything works alright, it's my first contribution to eA in quite some time and I'm rather rusty at programming of late.

4.Returns 0 if successful, 1 otherwise.

src\char_sql\char.c src\char\char.c src\map\map.c
* Made it compile under gcc 2.95 [MouseJstr]
* made the char and map servers auto-configure their own IP's
whenever possible [MouseJstr]
If you do not specify the server IP address, it now determines it
on its own. This means that to get a server running that is
accessable from the internet you should only need to specify the
location of the data.grf files. This eliminates one more point
of misconfiguration.
It does not correctly auto-configure for when you are behind a
router or a firewall since there is no way of determining the
external IP address. On the other hand, we should be able to
eliminate the lan_conf file since we know our IP addresses as well
as our netmask.
