sqllogging depracted in favour of config.sql_enabled. Database loading is done through /hook/startup/proc/load_databases, with initialize_database_object() being a generalized proc to read any generic database config file. (TODO: config examples in relaiton to last remark.)
Both procs are now generalized, and accept a DBConnection object as an argument. Due to this generalization, all instances of `establish_db_connection()` must be renamed to `establish_db_connection(dbcon)`.
Also added variable `failed_connections` to the definition of DBConnection.
Renames the variables of the DBConnection object to make differentiating them easier.
Reworks the `DBConnection/New()` and `Connect()` methods to allow for the automatic creation of the dbi handler string. Adds a con_database variable to DBConnection to enable this. DBConnection objects now also house the current database they're using for this purpose.
Moves the constructor for dbcon under `/hook/startup/proc/connectDB()`, as it needs to be called after the SQL config has been read by `datum/global_init/New()`
they appear to just use the 8th field of the reply for the player count, rather than parsing the reply; this moves player count back to being the 8th entry
Partially by request:
The inactive check process now respects client holder status and can be configured how long clients may remain inactive before being kicked.
Adds a config option MENTORS which sets the variable config.mods_are_mentors
Adds a rights level of R_MENTOR which gets msay, private message, aghost, notes, and a new proc for checking for new players (requires database support).
If the confic option for mentors is set then
the ckeys listed in moderators.txt file will instead be set as mentors, you can still make moderators by adding them in admins.txt
staffwho will show Mentors instead of Moderators as the heading above the listing of non-admins.
Also: Players now get a message gently reminding them to click the name of the staff member to reply instead of ahelping over and over.
CR+LF added to new lines, created a global variable log_end that can be used
on newlines
log_misc("blahblah...[log_end]\nMoreblahblah[log_end]")
put [log_end] prior to any \n and it will show up correctly in windows.
Also created log_misc() proc to log to diary, and removed a bunch of
diary << stuff all over the place.
