[CF-Devel] I have a few patches for you

[crossfire-devel at archives.real-time.com]

This is a patchset for the Crossfire Server; diff was ran on the last 
week's CVS. I hope you like it and include it in the following release 
(I'll leave the Changlog changes to you). Don't worry about that fuzz in 
the patchset (I had to edit smth in the patch by hand). Descriptions of 
the patches:
1) logger.diff
- added llevFatal to LogLevel enumeration
- when LOG(llevFatal, ..., ...) is called, the server dies (not before 
trying an emergency save, if enabled)
- if DIE_ON_MAX_ERRORS is defined, the server dies when MAX_ERRORS is 
reached (again, not before trying an emergency save, if enabled)
2) settings.diff
- now we can modify the behavior of stats rolling, by changing the 
minimum and maximum sum of stats that can be rolled during character 
creation, which can be achieved by editing the settings file 
(min_initial_stats_sum, max_initial_stats_sum).
- when the server starts and loads settings, if the settings file is 
misconfigured, the default behavior is to die by calling LOG(logLevel, 
..., ...), where logLevel is llevFatal by default (but can be changed by 
modifying INIT_LOAD_SETTINGS_LOGLEVEL).
- janitorial work
3) sighup_reload_settings.diff
- this is highly experimental: the server now behaves differently when 
it recieves a SIGHUP signal, by reloading the settings file (if there 
are errors in the settings file, the server does _not_ die; here, 
logLevel is llevError)

I hope my future patches will include both client and server side 
changes that will allow, if the server administrator permits it, the 
clients to manually setup their character's stats.
Please tell me if you liked this patch.


Cheers,
Eduard Gabriel Munteanu
