afk command added

It's now possible to indicate if you are away from your keyboard (and why). This will show up as a badge in the who-list.

shops and shopkeepers

Deputies couldn't make shops/shopkeepers/shoppinglists for a (very) long time, because of bugs and missing functionality in the item admin pages. Fixed.

changes to software architecture

In the past, the game engine would translate information from the database into HTML for displaying on the webpage. Over time this has changed somewhat. With the arrival of Javascript frameworks, nowadays it?s a better idea to just send the data over the line as JSON and have JavaScript on the client side (the web browser) make something pretty with it. So this is a proces that is also continually happening here. Why do I tell you this? Because reasons.

Release Notes

• added information on when a person logged onto the game (minutes and seconds ago). Will only show this in-game in who-list.
• removed colour "human" from colours. (replaced with black, which is teh default)
• added a menu called "Command reference". It shows all possible commands (if an explanation has been entered in the help pages).
  Bear in mind that some help pages are outdated and the commands they describe either do not work or do not exist anymore. Also some commands might not have help pages. Both issues can be resolved by the deputies.
• Fixed #237 Bad Expression/Admin Command Precedence
• Fixed #254: "Teal" font color messed up?
• replaced description text input field in the manpages admin page with a textarea field
• Fixed #250 : Wiki Feature Requests - it is now possible to search the wiki and deputies can delete a wiki page if necessary.
• Fixed #252 : Deputies Pinning Board Posts
• Fixed #249 : Chatline Users - deputies can now see all the players that have subscribed to a specific chatline
• Fixed #247 : Sort Characters by Guild - deputies can when they view a guild, see all guild members in that guild.
• Fixed #232 : Changing God - changing god is still impossible, but deputies can delete a bot and recreated it with the proper god setting.
• Fixed #251: Sent Folder Tab - this should no longer be secretly hidden unless you mouse over it
• Fixed #242: Dark Mode Button in Game - under Settings
• Replaced the logonmessage HTML string with a proper Logonmessage class. Also means that as of now, there's no HTML tags allowed in guild logonmessage. Sorries.
• Fixed #241 : AFK Button
• Added support for viewing item instances of item definitions in the adminpages.
  For example: an item definition of a faded yellow list can have three item instances, one in room 1, one belonging to Karn and one put into a container (a basket for example).
• Fixed #234: Discriminator 1 Does Not Work
  added support for creating new items and removing existing items (item instances to be precise, i.e. an item that someone has in his inventory/in a room/in a container). Also sets the appropriate Discriminator depending on the discriminator of the ItemDefinition.
• Fixed #253: Can't Put These Items in a Container?
• Added a Transform to a Person, and a graphics rest client for manipulating the Transform.
• Added a minimum and maximum and center Position to a Room, this enables me to determine in which room a person is, based on their Transform.
• Angular - router linking to the same component with different ids doesn't work. Had to add a listener to the params of the route.
• RxJS has deprecated publishReplay and refCount. See the link. https://rxjs.dev/deprecations/multicasting#publishreplay
• RxJS has deprecated subscribe without the config object. See the link. https://rxjs.dev/deprecations/subscribe-arguments

• updated karchanadmin to the new angular 18
