LootEntry defines probabilistic item drops with min/max counts.
roll_loot takes a loot table and returns Thing instances.
MobTemplate now has loot field, parsed from TOML [[loot]] sections.
When a mob dies in combat, create_corpse is called to spawn a corpse
at the mob's position with the mob's inventory transferred. This
replaces the direct despawn_mob call, making combat deaths leave
lootable corpses behind.
The fallback to despawn_mob is kept if the mob somehow has no zone.
Corpse is a non-portable Container subclass that holds a deceased mob's
inventory. The create_corpse factory transfers items from the mob to the
corpse, sets a decompose_at timestamp for eventual cleanup, and calls
despawn_mob to remove the mob from the world.
- Update _find_container to use targeting module (prefix + ordinal)
- Update cmd_put to use find_in_inventory directly
- Add 'get all from <container>' support with portable item filtering
- Add comprehensive tests for all container grammar features
Replace local exact-match helpers with targeting module calls for
prefix matching and ordinal disambiguation. Works in get, drop, and
container extraction (get X from Y).
Implements a complete alias system allowing players to create command shortcuts.
Aliases are expanded during dispatch with a recursion guard (max 10 levels).
Changes:
- Add aliases field to Player dataclass (dict[str, str])
- Add player_aliases table to database schema
- Add save_aliases() and load_aliases() persistence functions
- Add alias/unalias commands with built-in command protection
- Integrate alias expansion into dispatch() before command resolution
- Add comprehensive test coverage for all features
Moved common test fixtures (mock_writer, mock_reader, test_zone, player,
nearby_player, clear_state) from individual test files into a shared
conftest.py. This eliminates duplication across test_power.py, test_sleep.py,
test_combat_zaxis.py, test_quit.py, test_stamina_cues.py, and
test_stamina_cue_wiring.py.
Some test files override specific fixtures where they need custom behavior
(e.g., test_quit.py adds a close method to mock_writer, stamina tests use
smaller zones and custom player positions).
Players become unconscious when PL or stamina drops to 0. While unconscious, both stats slowly recover at 0.1 per tick (1.0 per second). When both reach above 0, player regains consciousness with a message. Recovery runs in the main game loop via process_unconscious.
Players must be at same altitude (both flying or both grounded) to initiate combat. Attack fails with 'You can't reach them from here!' if altitude differs.
When combat begins, any active power-up task on either the attacker
or defender should be cancelled to prevent background power changes
during combat. This ensures players can't continue charging while
fighting.
The fix checks both entities for a _power_task attribute and cancels
it if present, then clears the reference.
The {s} conjugation check had incorrect operator precedence that
evaluated the ch/sh suffix check independently of the prev_text
existence check. This could lead to confusing logic flow even
though it didn't crash due to len() handling empty strings safely.
Fixed by wrapping both suffix conditions in parentheses so they're
both guarded by the prev_text truthiness check.
Implements power level management system with tick-based power-up loop.
Players can raise PL toward max_pl (costs stamina per tick), lower PL
instantly, set exact PL targets, and cancel ongoing power-ups.
- Add Where: header with zone description
- Add Location: line with quadrant and coordinates
- Add Nearby: line showing entities in viewport (not on player's tile)
- Add Exits: line showing available cardinal directions
- Replace 'Here:' with individual entity lines showing posture
- Replace 'Portals:' with individual 'You see {name}.' lines
- Add look <thing> routing to examine command
- Add comprehensive tests for new structured output
- Update existing tests to match new output format
Player objects were removed from the players dict on quit/disconnect
but never removed from zone._contents, leaving ghost * markers on
other players' maps.

The server never proactively offered GMCP or MSDP to clients, so
telnetlib3 logged "cannot send MSDP without negotiation" every second.
Now the server sends WILL GMCP and WILL MSDP on connection, and
send_msdp_vitals checks negotiation state before attempting to send.
Implements Phase 7 foundation:
- gmcp.py module with package builders for Char.Vitals, Char.Status,
Room.Info, Room.Map, and MSDP vitals
- Player helper methods send_gmcp() and send_msdp() for convenience
- Full test coverage for all GMCP/MSDP functions and edge cases
Zones can now define spawn rules in TOML:
- [[spawns]] sections specify mob type, max count, and respawn timer
- SpawnRule dataclass stores configuration
- load_zone() parses spawn rules from TOML
- Added example spawn rules to treehouse zone (squirrel, crow)
This is configuration infrastructure only - actual spawning logic
will be handled by the game loop in a future phase.
