March Bug Fixes

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

It occurs to me that I haven’t done a master bugfix post in a while. How do I know? Because I have a giant pile of them to post. Enjoy!

  • Corrected an infinite items bug, thanks to GoldS. If GoldS was a country, I’d be waving a little GoldS flag right now.
  • Fixed a bug that made Gang Warfare unavailable. Thanks for catching that, cudgelist and DerMagus!
  • Undestroyed the Metroplex University Computer Lab. Thanks for the bug reports Argeth, Liasi, and Mosquito.
  • Fixed a funny issue where the links on the Golden Chip leaderboard were going to random gangs. Good eyes Mag and Francis Vixen.
  • Corrected a bug preventing the Signal Tracker from being sold, back when it was sellable… which it isn’t anymore… Thanks for unbreaking the event, Happy Yeti and DoctrZombie.
  • The mouseover for the Waterfront now appropriately says The Waterfront rather than The Docks. Thanks for the new eyes on that Heriodule!
  • I have a note here that says “Broke the news to 05Cleaner (Argeth)” Not sure time I meant, but Argeth’s reported a lot of issue’s with 05Cleaner’s dialogue. Thanks!

Also thanks to Mag, BigBellyJarelli, Thrillhouse, Cank, Factitious, Elliotbay, OgremanSam, Cryptodynamic, Al, Sir Cheddar, and GoldS for catching some typos. That… is a lot of typos. Seriously, thanks :)

Cheers!

Metabughunt

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

We’ve got a lot of bug fixes this time. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most of them reflect the new battlefields out in the Net.

  • Corrected a bug allowing use of arbitrary tools in Net Combat. Big thanks to Al for this one.
  • The Viral Reformatter is properly closing access to the reformatted site. Thanks Cryptodynamic and Argeth!
  • Enemy information should be immediately updated on successful use of the Viral Reformat tool. Good catch, DerMagus!
  • Zack now has a conversation option for the Zalian Defense Tool. Thanks for pointing that out, Arkaim.
  • The arms dealer in the VIP Room will no longer sometimes give away free crates of goodies. Thanks Smokestack!
  • Using Cover Fire underwater will no longer result in uncontrollable urges to gnaw the flesh of one’s enemies. Thanks for the bug report, BigBellyJarelli!

Also thanks to Cryptodynamic, elliotbay, Argeth, and rxzambrana for pointing out some typos.

Cheers!

The Growing Net

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

While most hackers have chosen a side, either beating back the viral menace or building towards a viral renaissance, others have been applying the lessons of the battle against the virus to their normal goals of subverting as many sites as possible.

Meanwhile, Extract Data and Intercept Data got a bit of a facelift. They now provide better feedback if they’re overwriting data from a previous use. Thanks to Argeth and Elliotbay for the suggestions.

And the for The Tar Pit has been moved back to it’s status as learned from the wilds of the Net as a quest recipe, rather than by experimentation. Thanks to Al for pointing that out.

Also a huge thanks to Kieliszek, Thrillhouse, Mag, Cryptodynamic, Metro, Arkaim, Factitious, and Borkman for helping me hunt down some of my innumerable typos. Keep fighting the good fight!

Cheers!

New Year’s Cleaning

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Out with the old, in with the new, as they always say. In this case, the old are bugs and typos. And the new are probably more bugs and typos… but different bugs and typos so it works out.

  • Added additional feedback about status in the Lo’s Investigation quest. Thanks Kazimir and Jesse!
  • Learning deeper poetic truths now gives you a message mentioning the item upgrade. Good suggestion, mr_stark.
  • Corrected an error where seasonal reset prizes might get handed out early. Wooo! Go Factitious!
  • Roomsweeper now interacts with Shotgun Blast. And all is right with the world. Thanks, Mag!
  • Clarified the error message when you try to view an item from someone’s profile that isn’t wearing that item any longer. Don’t worry if that didn’t make sense, but thanks to Argeth for cleaning up that little corner of Metroplexity.
  • And fixed up a bug from trading for mushrooms that’s been hanging around since the Docks Quest update. Good catch, Wiegieman!

And thanks to Xerf, Metro, Striper, Argeth, elliotbay, Arkaim, Mag, rxzambrana, and especially Factitious for nailing down some typos.

Cheers!

Feature Additions

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

Added a couple of heavily requested features today and fixed up a pile of bugs.

Features first!

  • Touched up the Techniques page. Lots of little changes, but the big one now is being able to delete the Default deck.
  • Simple recipes are now remembered between resets.
  • Added a ‘lieutenant’ rank within gangs that can modify the gang warfare agendas.
  • In a related note, the gang ranks now have clicky definitions like attributes do.
  • New resets now include a date when the reset completed and are sortable by time of completion.

And bugs!

  • Zack stopped giving out complimentary copies of the Emerald Gift scrapbook when you reset. Thanks for the bug report and the honest, Factitious!
  • Sewer Hideout encounters should react properly now if you kill half the guards, then sneak the rest of the way. Thanks Al!
  • Location is now properly included in gang warfare messages when you lose control. Thanks for the bug report, Cank!
  • Corrected an issue where the game thought all runs were completed on January 1st, 1970. Go Team Unix! Thanks for the bug report, Factitious.
  • Hopefully fixed an issue where Techniques based on your hit points weren’t updating midround. Good catch, Llamaman!

And typos!
Thanks to Elliotbay, Cryptodynamic, xKiv, Suuljin, Borkman, and Mag for helping make the game a little more legible for everyone :)

Cheers!

More Tweaks and Fixes

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Been messing around with the interface some more and fixing bugs from my previous fiddling.

It occurs to me that I should also announce the new podcast questions thread where new players might see it. So…. there’s a questions thread for our next Podcast on the forums if you have any questions.

On the interface tweaks side:

  • Crafting now has the same sort of top bar as the inventory. Thanks for the suggestion, elliotbay!
  • All the encounters from Stolen Artistry should include an option to take you back to your character sheet. Credit for convincing me goes to xKiv and RazielSonofKain. Thanks!
  • The Housing screen will now be available while you’re absorbed in reading the Black Book. Good call, Mag!
  • Your skills list in the Survivors’ Reset board will now be sorted alphabetically if you’re sorting the main view to Unique Skills. Good thought, Amasius.
  • Bouncing to random profiles now only shows profiles that have logged in recently.

Also fixed a few bugs:

  • Items taken out of your inventory by outfits or suites won’t still be displayed on that pageload. Thanks for the bug report, ganymed!
  • Twisted Hounds have been trained to stop eating the “Continue On” options, thanks to ne0x and Joel_Fry.

And where would we be without some typo fixes, this time thanks to Al and Mag.

Cheers!
