The Universal World Owner's Manual

6-Jan-2006

- Fixes for the 'bounce' code on worlds
- economy -> cargo rules 1 which turns off the whole thing about not being able to use items that you've not bought from another player
- various bits of stuff for minigames (killer rabbits etc)

- added economy -> 'default fuel' setting
- fix for plane orientation not resetting when back on the ground
- .autotexmap (VAL) command for automatically covering the entire landscape with tiled texmaps
- Storing list of files not found for upload to clients in a server log file.
- changed the school profit system (per note on forums) + changed the way sales tax is calculated, so it is worked out on the price of the individual item rather than the total cost of the transaction. (So that a 1s item with 5% tax would have no tax applied (coz 5% of 1s is less than 1d) whatever amount of the item was purchased. (To avoid the silly situation where ppl would end up buying small amounts repeatedly to avoid tax)
- added buildzone display to .surf command
- fixed 'set town taxes' options so they show up if a town is set to have no employees 
- kricket fix to send u back to default veh when u leave kricket for whateva mode it is i used on zion
