Patch #s: 484, 485, 488 & 489, and propose patches

I realise that it's probably too late for these to go in before 1.0.2 (well, 3rd is a fix, so that could be okay).

Just didn't get around to posting here about them before <_<

small cosmetic change: change healthbar colour scale up to aqua over full health

official CVS has the colour scale from red at 0 through to green at 100% health. this patch makes it continue up into aqua when above full health, usually from potions. in the case of a reset, the bar will be white until it gets near to full+5

small cosmetic change: when both healthbar and #/# show, centers the two

When you have both health bar and numbers shown, the bar is in the normal spot and the numbers go off to the side. this patch has the two together centered instead

tiny bugfix: patch global.h for the VC++ inline def

ref: windows compilation guide this says to put the line in at the top of the file. my patch puts it inside an (existing) #ifdef, so only VC should use this. solves the problem listed in the guide.

new command: adds #url to list last 20 seen URLs, and #url <num> to go

with this one, you can use the command `#url' (or `#urls', etc) to show the last up-to 20 URLs the client has seen, and `#url <num>' to load any of them. <num> is, of course, the number of the one you wish to load.

 

 

also, some things I've thought about changes for are:

percentages shown in the middle of the bars for MP, food, EP, carry, and XP. (most useful for XP and possibly research if you have that sort of thing)

adjusting #ver so it shows the date that either: (1) CVS was fetched (this'd probably have to be manual) or (2) the code was built (almost as useful, and can be automatic). could also say what patches were used

being able to set things like alt+b, alt+h from el.ini or save to el.cfg or something (this'd be more generic, most likely, perhaps a string of which letters to pretend to push on load if in el.ini)

currently the #sto command doesn't accept filtering. if I'm coding again before that changes, I'd like to add an alias so if you say `#sto item' the client would ask the server for `#storage item' instead

when in windowed chat, have @, /name, and #gm implied by the currently selected tab (which would be an option to turn on or off, default off, since it'd confuse people intending to talk in local)

 

to all/any official devs, will there be any problems with using/including these features?
