New Combat Messaging Options

IOI: 5

There are now three flags that control combat messaging: CombatBrief, CombatNoNumbers, and CombatSelfFull, replacing the previous pair of CombatBrief and BattleBrief.

CombatBrief fulfills the role that CombatBrief and BattleBrief did before, reducing combat messaging to the minimum.

CombatNoNumbers is more verbose than CombatBrief, removing the numbers but keeping in much of the flavor text.

CombatSelfFull causes the messaging for attacks by or against the given player to have full messaging, regardless of the settings of the previous flags.

As well, these will now apply to the success equation of warding attacks.

As with most settings, you can use the FLAGS command or the settings menu in StormFront to change them.
