THE SHORTENED EVENTS LIST

by Hazed

A short while ago, we made a change to the 'DI EVENTS' command so it only showed the last 30 events. This stopped the list from overflowing once it got close to the reset. In effect, the game just forgot about an event once 30 more had happened - it had no record of anything that happened previously.

However, it was pointed out that this caused a problem, because looking at the events on a specific planet only showed the events that were included in the last 30. If an event happened before that, there was no record of it, even if the effect was still being felt on the exchange. This made it hard to figure out what was going on with exchanges.

Now, it's been changed again so that the game does remember all events, and will display them all with the 'DI EVENTS planetname' command - but it still stops the list once it's shown you the last 30 if you look at them all.

Thanks to Joe who brought this problem to our attention.
