Each of the special features is enabled by adding an appropriate #define to the file EMP/h/options.h. Note: this is different than the previous KSU versions. The -Doption stuff is no longer needed in the makefile. Without any of the special features enabled, the code should act *almost* like the standard 1.1 PL5 code. There have been modifications to the configurable parameters as well as plane and ship specs which cannot be automatically removed. Several bugs have been fixed and commented but not #ifdef'ed. A semi-current copy of this code should always be available for anonymous ftp from hp5.mcs.kent.edu. This list is dynamic and most likely out of date. ALLYHARBOR - Allows loading/unloading of goods in allied harbors. SHOWPLANE - Lists all planes on ships which are up for trade. DROPANY - Allows the "drop" command to be used on any sector. REJECTS - Set reject/accept status on telegrams/treaties/announcements. BMAP - Keeps a record of the type of all sectors ever seen. AUTONAV - Allows ships to be "order"ed to a specific sector. SCUTTLE - Allows ships/planes to "self-destruct". CONVASAT - Anti-sat missiles use conventional warheads. ORBIT - Satellites can be either stationary or orbit the planet. ABM - Anti-Ballistic Missile missiles. GRIND - Converts gold bars back into dust. PINPOINTMISSILE - Missiles designed to be targeted at ships instead of sectors. FALLOUT - Nuclear fallout. SAIL - Gives ships and fleets orders. NUKEFAILDETONATE- "Launch"es of nuclear missiles which fail have a further chance of detonating the warheads on the pad. MISSINGMISSILES - Nuclear warheads have a chance of missing their targets by one sector at long ranges. SHIPNAMES - Individual ships can be given names (i.e. "USS Enterprise"). NEUTRON - Neutron bombs with low physical damage but high fallout. NONUKESUB - Subs at sea can only be nuked by a warhead targeted at a water sector. BETTERABM - ABM's intercept any non-allied warheads within range. RANGEEDIT - Allows the range of individual planes to be changed at any time. MISSDEF - If one of your ships is fired upon by another ship, a ship targeting missile will be launched at the agressor. SHIPSAM - Ships fire SAMs as well as interceptor planes. NOFOOD - No food necessary. BIND - Use the nameserver to log the name of the machine the player logs in from instead of the IP address.
