Usurper Reborn - v0.25.10 Release Notes

SysOp Console Improvements

SysOp Console Menu Integration

• Integrated Menu Option: The SysOp Administration Console ([%]) is now a standard menu item on the BBS character selection screen, appearing alongside Load/New/Quit options. Previously it was a separate prompt with a banner that appeared before the menu, which was disruptive to the login flow.
• Hidden from Players: The [%] option only appears for users who pass the SysOp security level check. Regular BBS users see no trace of it.
• Works With or Without Saves: The SysOp Console option appears whether the user has an existing character or not.

Configurable SysOp Security Level

• New --sysop-level Flag: SysOps can now set the minimum security level required for admin access via command-line: UsurperReborn --door32 door32.sys --sysop-level 99
• Persistent Setting: The security level is saved to sysop_config.json, so it only needs to be specified once. Subsequent launches will use the saved value.
• Default Threshold: 100 (standard for most BBS software). Different BBSes use different security level schemes, so this allows SysOps to match their configuration.

Version Display

• Version shown everywhere: The game version is now displayed on the title screen, main menu, and BBS door welcome screen across all modes (local, Steam, BBS door).

Files Changed

• GameEngine.cs - Integrated SysOp Console into character selection menu; added version display to title screen, main menu, and BBS welcome banner
• DoorMode.cs - Added --sysop-level <number> command-line flag
• SysOpConfigSystem.cs - Added SysOpSecurityLevel to persistent config with sync to DoorMode
• GameConfig.cs - Version 0.25.10-alpha
• README.md - Updated version, revised SysOp Console description
• DOCS/BBS_DOOR_SETUP.md - Documented --sysop-level flag
