Peon 1.4.22

Server owners: update the server too. New screens and a new NPC need this version on both sides.

The chat

• Three tabs: Global (players only, no more game announcements in the middle of a conversation), Private (whispers), System (what the game says).
• Repeated messages stack into one line with a counter (x2, x3...).
• New lines fade in; "X is typing..." shows above the chat.
• Your rank tag is drawn as a colored plate in front of your name.

Ranks, Mana and the Barterer

• /rank: twenty titles from Pebble Scratcher to King of the Mine, in cards with your character holding the pickaxe of that tier. Each rank adds real perks: +5 Mana/day at the Barterer, +1% on cart sales, free daily chests from the 6th, a longer Barterer visit from the 11th, a golden name for the King.
• Mana is a second currency, shown in blue on the HUD. It cannot be bought: only the Barterer gives it, for ore from your bag, at a low fixed price, eight minutes every thirty, with a daily purse of 60 Mana per player (more with rank).
• The Barterer stands next to the Seller on every plot.

Under the hood

• The earned grades (Labourer to The Company) and their production bonus are unchanged; the chat now shows the bought rank instead.
• 1000eyes 1.0.5: admin names are matched case-insensitively.
