Changelog

A changelog is a running record of what’s changed in a piece of software over time, organized by version or build, newest entries first. This one covers Brigadoon Resurrected starting from the alpha.

Most recent work

Added a “diamonds” currency system — buy diamonds from the jeweller, then diamonds tucks every diamond you’re carrying into an invisible pouch that can’t be looted off you, worth shows how many are stashed, and diamonds <N> pulls them back out.
Speedwalking now accepts bare directions too — 4s2es2e walks south 4 times, east twice, south once, then east twice, no digit required on every leg.
Fixed speedwalking letting you run straight through rooms with aggressive monsters without giving them a chance to attack.
Fixed the draconian spell group’s breath spells costing far more mana than intended, and never getting cheaper as you leveled up — they now scale down with level like every other mage spell.
Added speedwalking — type a string like 6e3n to walk east 6 times then north 3 times in one command, using the same movement rules as typing each step by hand.
Added an alpha-testing toggle so admins can let players keep their gear on death instead of losing it to a corpse.
The temple-altar healer’s curative spells are discounted to 1 gold each for alpha testing.
Fixed the areas command showing scrambled color codes and eaten digits on every single area in the game.
Socials now work over the gossip channel — gossip nod or gossip highfive <player> emotes the real social to everyone listening instead of just saying the word.
Immortal-summoned healing fountains and active bonus-exp events now survive a server restart instead of vanishing.
Launched this website: the story of the rebuild, the living specification, and a live “who’s online” page.

Dragon races rebuilt from real community data

Rebuilt all 6 playable dragon races’ stats and ability kits against a second, independently-recorded community race/class table.
Replaced the flat “+3 to one stat” class bonus with real per-class multi-stat bonuses (confirmed data for Berserker, Wizard, Scribe, Samurai).
Fixed race-locked abilities (like a dragon’s bite or breath weapon) showing up as purchasable by any race during character customization.

Remort system hardening

Fixed remort not resetting your room, equipment, or starting trains/practices to a fresh start.
Fixed a critical bug where remorting could corrupt a character down to deeply negative hit points.
Fixed a server-hanging bug triggered by a specific remort sequence.
Let remort classes (Berserker, Wizard, Scribe, Samurai) into their prerequisite class’s guild.
Wired Lenny’s House and Divided Souls into the world map at their real, community-confirmed locations.

Alpha content expansion

Added the playable Fungus race (remort-only, extreme low-stat challenge race).
Added full in-game help for remort, all 4 remort classes, and all 7 new races.
Added dragon races, remort probation (finish what you start or it doesn’t stick), bonus experience events, and the immortal healing fountain.

Foundational alpha work

Added the Samurai class, an item durability/repair system, and rebalanced Olympus and Dragon Tower for the 90-130 remort content gap.
Added the Berserker, Wizard, and Scribe remort classes, and extended the level cap to 140.
Began the Brigadoon Resurrected rebuild: design specs, source area imports, and dev tooling on top of the QuickMUD/ROM 2.4b codebase.
