HTML5 client updates

We've just released a new version of our HTML5 client! Our last version focused on adding tab-targeting to the client, allowing the simple selection of a target. We've gone one step further this time by integrating that further into the game!

When you set a target in the client, it will now synchronise with the game, as if you'd done SETTARGET <thing>, which will set your &tar alias variable, and allow you to enter attack commands without having to specify a target.

Additionally, if you use a generic term in SETTARGET in-game (say, SETTARGET ORC), it will now highlight and show the information of the first orc when you enter a room with one!

Additionally, you'll now automatically see the health percentage of the target on the status bar while you're attacking it!

We've got a lot of really exciting developments relating to these changes coming up in the future, so stay tuned!

If you're a regular user of the HTML5 client, please make sure you "force" a refresh of the client in your browser.

Penned by My hand on the 23rd of Daedalan, in the year 662 AF.
