Hacking Updates

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

A few updates, almost all hacking related. Because that is how I roll, apparently.

  • One of the ways hacked sites leave the system wasn’t implemented. It should be working now.
  • When fighting multiple defenders in hacking, one being destroyed should now show an appropriate void. Thanks to Starwed, Mag, and Nyther for the bug reports!
  • Sands of Time got a buff so it can now defeat the Firewall tool. Thanks Rykar, for getting me on this train of thought.
  • In a strangely non-hacking update, hopefully fixed a long standing issue where techniques that care what your opponent is doing didn’t care if your opponent was dead. If that didn’t make sense, just ignore it :) Thanks JTN2001!
  • And thanks to Nyther, Thrillhouse, and particularly Mag for some typo fixes.

Cheers!

Avatars and Others

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

A pair of unrelated Avatar changes:

  • You can now change Avatar in the account preferences screen, whether or not you are in Gang Warfare.
  • There are two new avatars available.

And some bug fixes:

  • Crashing will now properly stop hackers and defenses from acting. Thanks Starwed!
  • Piercing is now described (in mouseover) where it shows up. Good suggestion, Wyrd.
  • Pressing Enter in the outfit text box should now save the outfit instead of changing to something random. Thanks to Valera, our dedicated “making sure Enter works in every text box” checker :)
  • For the trifecta of “strange things found in misdirected shipments,” cans are not sugar. Thanks Llamaman!
  • Using “Clear” in net combat shouldn’t result in an incorrect memory display anymore. Good catch Starwed.
  • Yellowed Maps no longer pretend to be multiusable. Good catch, Cryptodynamic.

And, of course, we have a bunch of typo fixes thanks to PaidPiedPiperPal, Rykar, Argeth, Slyspawn, and Valliant. Thanks everyone :)

Cheers!

Happy Fourth!

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Recovering from the festivities yesterday (yay! fireworks!) and working on Metroplexity.

A few updates:

  • If you’re in chat as the daily shutdown approaches, there’ll be notices at the 10 and 1 minute mark. Thanks for the suggestion, Sir Cheddar.
  • There is now an account option to make “Metros” appear as an option in your header. Good suggestion, Artie Effham.
  • Gang Messages now appear in the edit box if you want to make minor changes. Thanks to The Kitchen Sink for poking me on this one.

And some bug fixes:

  • Avatars will be awarded appropriately to those first entering Gang Warfare. Thanks to The Kitchen Sink and Zelandoni for helping me sort this one out.
  • Private gangs will now appropriately be private (they were displaying if you were whitelisted to any gang, not just that one). Thanks, Olaf!
  • Smugglers in the Slags and the University are no longer confused as to who’s where. Thanks for the testing Valera!
  • Petrol Splash should now set the other guy on fire when defending in Gang Warfare. Good catch, Starwed.
  • Mikhail shouldn’t get really confused anymore when you don’t have any Eclipse in your inventory. Wouldn’t have found it without you, Olaf!
  • For some strange reason, PaidPiedPiperPal keeps wanting his Gang Jacket combines to not turn into coffee grounds. Crazy, I know, but I keep fixing them anyway.

Also, a nice batch of typos from DudeAtHome, PaidPiedPiperPal, Argeth, Borkman, Man Mobile, and Al!

Big thanks to everyone for keeping up with bug reporting. I’m plugging away at the Survivors’ Quest. The main quest won’t be ready for a while, but I’ve got some goodies lined up to keep things hopping in the mean time.

Cheers!

Catch Up Caught Up

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Done with Origins and caught up on all the bug reports and typos from over the Con. I’ve got a pile of drop-dead awesome art from Puyo and am looking forward to filling the Survivor’s quest with it.

  • Evasion Power is now working properly. Great catch, Starwed!
  • Descriptions in the Mall should now come up consistently. Thanks to Man Mobile and Zelandoni for helping me sort this one out.
  • Asking the bartender “What’s the News?” no longer costs Energy. Thanks to Jick for the suggestion.
  • Extra warehouse security badges are now salvagable. Thanks to Man Mobile for the suggestion here.
  • Added some more University-relevant melee weapons, related to armory. Thanks to Argeth for the idea.
  • Added a pair of new avatars for the gang warriors out there.
  • Also fixed a bunch of typos. Thank you Valera, Happy Yeti, Man Mobile, PaidPiedPiperPal, The Kitchen Sink, and Shademaster00 for the help.

Also, rumors that Midgard was forced to return to its pre-Incident designs for the SD1 drones are completely without merit. Nothing to see here.

Cheers!

Mid-Origins Update

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Just wanted to post an update about the changes made over the last couple of days. I’ve been keeping up on Bug Reports and plugging away at Survivors’ quest stuff. Puyo’s here, cranking out good arts. Pretty productive week for how little I’ve been at the house.

Couple fixes to report:

  • Fixed a bug that was overwriting your hand in combat with bad data. Huge thanks to Man Mobile and Starwed for helping figure this one out.
  • There’s now a more obvious, but hopefully not too obtrusive, link to donate. Good suggestion, The Kitchen Sink.
  • Dr. Thomas should now be a bit more coherent when talking about the Hammer. Thanks for the note Zeladoni.
  • Gaining control in PvP no longer gives you a message talking about how you’re going to get control eventually. Good catch, the Kitchen Sink.
  • Also thanks to PaidPiedPiperPal, Thrillhouse, Wyrd, and Mag for typokilling.

Cheers!

Other Updates

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Along with the donations page, I’ve managed to sneak in some other changes and fixes.

  • There is now a Completed pane of the Quest Log. Thanks to Metro and razielsonofkain for the suggestion.
  • When loading the login page, the username field should get focus automatically. Thanks bonbon for the suggestion.
  • Buffs granted at the end of combat shouldn’t decrement right away. Good catch, Argeth.
  • On the Docks, the two choice encounters with dockhands (for coffee and armwrestling/fishing pole) have been combined into one. Thanks for pointing this out a while back, razielsonofkain.
  • Gangs with quotation marks should now display correctly in player’s profiles. Thanks Olaf!
  • The gang description preview should no long display the BRs to go along with your newlines. Thanks for the bug report, The Kitchen Sink.
  • Also, thanks to Mag, The Kitchen Sink, Argeth, DanBob, and Wyrd for some typo catches! Yay Typos!

Also a couple fixes on the new University update:

  • The quest log for the extended Hawk subquest shouldn’t jump ahead if you’ve calmed down the Quad. Thanks Wyrd!
  • When defeating The Hammer, he will not display debug information, as appropriate as that may be for his character :) Thanks Lord Finisher and Olaf!
  • Hawk will still be available to talk about your friends after the Trouble on the Docks quest. Good catch, Starwed.

Cheers!
