We have some interface updates and an interesting bug fix today.
- Entering chat will now automatically /who for your primary (oldest active) channel. Thanks for the suggestion, Wyrd.
- Net targets found in searches will now have their names appear as links, saving the need to search through the list for a new site. Good suggestion Harrakan.
- All clickable or hoverable text in the game should now give a distinct cursor to separate it from all that boring old readable text. Thanks to Wyrd and Al for this one.
- Resolved an interesting bug where skill bonuses where being double (or, you know, octuple) counted. Thanks to DerMagus and Amasius for reporting it!
- We’ve also got a parcel of typo fixes from Argeth, Wyrd, Caradal, Mag, and Glass. Thanks!
Cheers!

I probably mentioned getting sick after GenCon (because that’s how I roll). I’m almost useful again, just getting back into the swing of things.
- The Omnimall now opens the first time you visit the net after completing the main quest. As far as experiments go, having it open with the Net was interesting, but ultimately not worth pursuing.
- The “Unplug” links should work consistently now, not giving errors about not being connected. Thanks Dfmchfhf.
- Fixed some weirdness with the interaction of multiple file scan programs. Good catch, Rykar!
- The gallery visor should now give a more appropriate message if you are not part of a gang or your gang doesn’t have any target galleries. Thanks for checking that one, Harrakan.
- And thanks to Dfmchfhf, Argeth, Happy Yeti, fr00d, and Sir Cheddar for help ferreting out some typos. :)
Cheers!

So, between my long weekend and the beginning of this week I fixed a ton of bugs and typos. I apologize in advance if I miss something in the list, but it’s the most thorough accounting I have.
- Fixed a bunch of early bugs within hacking. Thank you Rykar, Thrillhouse, Zelandoni, Nyther, Jick, Man Mobile, Blarghgh, and NX_Phoenix.
- Folks shouldn’t be getting blank spaces in hacking tools anymore. Thanks to Mag and Man Mobile for reporting this one.
- The special decompilers should work. Thank you RazielSonOfKain.
- You can no longer get stuck on the second floor of the Slags tower. Thanks for the bug report, Llamaman.
- Switching for a lower processor computer shouldn’t confuse the installation requirements screen anymore. Good catch, Harrakan!
- The A student no longer decides he needs more Eclipse every time you talk about art. Thanks llamaman!
- Made another stab at fixing Petrol Splash. Thanks Valera and JTN2002 for the testing!
- Added some new dialogue options for Lo. Good call Serenity.
- Dual Armored Vest is now function, thanks to RazielSonOfKain.
- Fixed the grammar for equipping and unequipping items that start with ‘the.’ Thanks Shademaster00 and Rykar.
- Added Data and Programs to the mall. Thanks Rykar!
- Thanks to Cryptodynamic for doublechecking I’m not giving you those trashy drone hounds when you’re supposed to get lean, mean twisted hounds :)
- Your X-Ray vision, although potent, no longer allows you to see Professor Evans through his door. Thanks Wyrd!
- As it turns out, vats of acid are not filled with little dolls and dried fish are not made out of tarnished coins. Who knew? Besides Shademaster00 and Cryptodynamic, that is?
- Also fixed a load of typos courtesy of Artie Effham, Edwahd, Sir Cheddar, Rykar, Thrillhouse, jetalynn, dfmchfhf, Mag, Zelandoni, Man Mobile, Jick, Wyrd, Borkman, and RazielSonOfKain. Thanks everyone!
Cheers!

- There is now more dialogue in the Slags quest to represent quite reasonable hesitations. Thanks for the suggestion, Wyrd!
- The Squatter’s Son quest will now give more feedback in the completed section of the quest log. Good suggestion, RazielSonOfKain.
- Fixed another interesting wrinkle in Petrol Splash. It should stun consistently against more complex Techniques now. Thanks for the quality bug report, Harrakan.
- Fixed a bug with the pitted thermos being replaced by a nonexistant item in drops. Good find, Llamaman.
- Removed the vestigal credits field from the replying mail form. Thanks, Harrakan.
- Corrected an issue with gang warfare messages not appearing after yesterday’s chat changes. Thanks for the bug report, Dudeathome.
- Also fixed up some typos from Borkman, Mag, and Man Mobile. Thanks!
Cheers!

Bunch of little updates today. Mostly been working on the Survivors’ Quest and exciting server issues, but found time for some updates.
- There’s now better information for the Gang Log about your members finally getting control of areas. Thanks to Mr. Green for making me realize I hadn’t done this already.
- Totally rewrote how Petrol Splash works. It should function as advertised now. Thanks to Harrakan and The Kitchen Sink for their good, detailed bug reports.
- There’s now a ‘Modify Checked’ at the top of your inbox too. Good suggestion, Mr. Green.
- Usable skills will now work properly even if you’re in the middle of changing capitalization or setting your gender. Thanks Sir Cheddar!
- Going through Beta Reset shouldn’t kick you out of Chat anymore. Thanks for the report Mr. Green!
- Typos hunted and eliminated thanks to Thrillhouse, Man Mobile, The Kitchen Sink, Valera, and PaidPiedPiperPal.
Also, in the department of vague patch notes:
- Unearthly coins trigger text was occasionally missing some text, which should be fixed now.
- Quantum Mechanics should now be giving headaches properly.
- There’s now another use for Cups of Joe. Thanks for the suggestion Argeth!
In the background, I’m working on the Survivors’ Quest. There are two big blocks that I can push separately, so I’ve been hard at work on the first.
Also, I was just looking at the old blog posts and it’s been almost a year since Metroplexity launched. August 13th, mark your calendars :)
Cheers!

Whole bunch of updates today. Mostly expanding the Chat interface, but snuck in a few other updates as well.
Chat
- At the bottom of chat it’ll show who’s viewed that chat recently (last five minutes or so). Good suggestion, the Kitchen Sink.
- The Gang Warfare messages showing up in chat have been revamped. I think they’re clearer, but the secret is this: the first name listed is your gangmate.
- The autorefresh should no longer clear out what you’ve been typing. Good catch, Cryptodynamic.
- Your name will now also show up in bold in the chat as it does in the gang log. Thanks for the suggestion, The Kitchen Sink.
- When you mouseover a comment in chat, it’ll display the time posted. Remember that is server time, which is set to GMT. Thanks for the suggestion, Cryptodynamic! Always up for a good excuse to use mouseover text.
Other Stuff
- You can now search in the OmniMall ignoring items in your inventory/equipped by checking the “Listings Only” checkbox right under the search. Thanks for the suggestion, Wyrd!
- The Gang Log now includes people entering the gang, leaving the gang, promotions, and demotions. These are under a new section called ‘Members.’ It’s pretty cool. Good suggestion, The Kitchen Sink.
- Shard will now be encounterable after luring a guard away. Thanks for the bug report, Cryptodynamic!
- The Mall Previews on the front page now have images. It’s kind of shocking how much more interesting that makes them look. Good call, RazielSonOfKain!
- Third Eye Stashes you collect from now on (using Big M’s Maps) will now show up under your completed quests. Good suggestion, Harrakan.
- Also corrected a typo from PaidPiedPiperPal.
Cheers!

First a couple of tweaks on the post-riot quad.
- The OJ stand is down to one free sample a day. Sorry OJ lovers.
- Killing the poet now kills the poet. Fair warning.
Attacking in Gang Warfare should be awarding XP again like normal combats. If it’s not, definitely give me a holler. Thanks, PaidPiedPiperPal, for the bug report here.
Also, the Mall now has back links to the top page so you don’t need to navigate back down through the Net. Good suggestion Harrakan.
Cheers!

I haven’t been keeping up as much with posting updates as I normally am, due to the Gang Warfare work. But here’s the list, as best I recorded:
- Buffs in the character pane will be sorted by how much Energy they have remaining. Good suggestion PaidPiedPiperPal.
- Multicrafting (and other activities taking multiple energy) will now tax buffs as they should. Thanks for the bug report, Wyrd!
- You can no longer deal negative damage with Area of Effect attacks. Thanks Valliant, for the catch.
- Lo should now be satiated with one Eclipse. What a lush. Thank you, Mr. Green for pointing this one out.
- We also have a helping of typos from Harrakan, RikiTikiTavi, PaidPiedPiperPal, Argeth, and Metro.
Cheers!
