Release v1.24.0 - Alias and formatting

This release focuses on, and improves, commands issued by the console, including new alias and new text formatting. Thanks for @Xetem for many of the suggestions!

Features

Superscript and subscript

Text can now be formatted with superscript and subscript . This can be used to indicate high-pitched noises, or low whispers. But of course, you are free to use it as you’d like.

++superscript++ will produce superscripted text.
--subscript-- will produce subscripted text.

For more information, see:

help format

Address alias @

The address command now has a new single-character alias: @ (at-sign):

@Accipiter = Hi! How are you?

This alias deprecates the previous alias a. The old alias still works, but has been removed from the help. For more info, see:

help address

OOC alias and modifier >

The ooc command now has a single-character alias: > (greater than)

> Phonecall. BRB!
>:has to head out for a moment.

The > character can also be used to modify some commands to OOC, just like : (colon) can be used to modify commands to behave like a pose. This works for address, whisper, message, and mail.

@Accipiter => Is the new release coming soon?
msg Jane Doe =>:is sorry for poorly grammar.

When using both > and :, the ooc modifier (>) should come before the pose modifier (:).

Thanks to Lewd for great input!

Console max length checks

The console will no longer allow you to type in input text longer than the max length. Before this release, the text was simply cropped without any warning, but now the console will mark the overflowing text with a warning color:

console_maxlength_limit

Pressing Enter anyway will log an error informing about the max length:

console_maxlength_error

This affects (almost) all commands with free text input.

Notifications for mail & requests

A new notification option has been added to Settings. Find it by clicking on the cog-icon at the bottom of the left-side Realm panel, and then check the Enable notifications option. The new option can be found at the bottom of the list:

settings_notify_on_mail_and_requests

This will give you notifications on new incoming mail, requests, and reports (for moderators). This also works for lurkers without any awake character.

Fixes

Changing exit order is broken
As reported by @Xetem and @Windchaser in this post, changing exit order for a room had wonky behavior. This has been fixed.
