Cyphesis version 0.5.14 has been released and is now available from the WorldForge download site.
Cyphesis is a small to medium scale server for WorldForge games, with builtin AI. This version includes the demo game Mason which is currently in development. This release is intended for server administrators wishing to run a Mason server and World developers developing new worlds or game systems.
Major changes in this version:
The rule definition file format is simpler to edit, and loads more reliably.
Rules files have been broken down into more intuitive categories.
A number of new standard properties are now available to world builders.
A feature has been added allowing the full list of goals an NPC has to be queried.
The surface details of the terrain are now defined by data, not hard coded.
The server will now still start if the configuration file cannot be read.
A bug that broke deer behavior has been fixed.
