The basic chat commands are in and seem to be working properly.
The ones in so far:
- /tell, /whisper, /t, or /w – Sends a private chat message to the person named. This does require putting underscores (_s) to replace any spaces in their name. So, Dr. Thomas would be “/tell Dr._Thomas I need some Eclipse.”
- /reply or /r – Replies to your most recent tell. Like all such systems, I wouldn’t suggest using it when you’re getting a lot of tells.
- /em, /me, or /emote – Says things like “Kinak does wacky stuff” instead of “Kinak: does wacky stuff.”
- /who – Replaces the “Who’s On” at the bottom of the chat list.
- /time – Advises you on the current system time.
- /? – The command that tells you the commands so you don’t have to look at this list.
Also corrected some bugs today where Metros was sometimes charging people unfairly. Thanks Zeladoni!
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!

Whole bunch of updates from the last couple days.
- Thanks Jick for pointing a bug where Zack wasn’t redirecting to his shop properly.
- Combats will end appropriately even if you get Broken Bones in the last round. Thanks PaidPiedPiperPal.
- Multi using Castor Capsules will give energy appropriately. Good catch, Jimmythy.
- The close combat needler now has an image. Thanks, Jthizz.
- The smuggler will now give a hint about why custom weapons aren’t on the list if you don’t qualify for them. Good suggestion, PaidPiedPiperPal.
- The order for the areas you control should match their order in the agenda list. Thanks for the suggestion, The Kitchen Sink.
- Your lifetime Gang Warfare record will be reflected on your character sheet, just as it is on your profile page. Thanks for the note, RazielSonOfKain.
- Also, thanks for some typo fixes by Jick, Wyrd, The Kitchen Sink, Mag, Thrillhouse, Shademaster00, and PaidPiedPiperPal.
I also retooled the way entering and leaving gangs is handled from the back end. This has a couple results:
- When you leave a gang you are whitelisted to, it’ll remember your rank when you come back. Thanks to The Kitchen Sink for the suggestion here.
- Leaders can leave the gang if they are not the sole leader. Another The Kitchen Sink special.
- Getting kicked from a gang by its leaders removes whitelists.
- I’m pretty sure it’ll properly remove you from Gang Warfare now, so you probably can’t fight yourself anymore. Sorry about that.
Cheers!

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!

Two more Mall changes.
- The service charge amount has been reduced (temporarily if not permanently), to 2% minimum 5 credits.
- You can now retract your own orders directly from the item page. Thanks for the suggestion, The Kitchen Sink.
Some other changes:
- Lo now acknowledges than you’ve been sent to see Dr. Amundsen. Good call, DanBob.
- Corrected some typos from Wyrd, who needs no definite article.
Tomorrow is jobhunting and working on the University Quest retool. Some cool stuff coming up there (the quest, not the jobs).
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!

I’ve been updating more or less constantly, but didn’t want to clutter the updates here. The changes since my last post include:
- Fixed some serious PHP problems related to me adding code for the new content. Thanks Nytmare!
- Corrected a Slags Beach encounter that’d been in for a while but no one had found before. Thanks and grats Wyrd.
- The second chess opponent should now be accepting challengers. Thanks for ferreting that out, Argeth!
- And a whole ton of typos. Thanks to Argeth, A Naked Jew, The Kitchen Sink, and especially Metro for pointing these out.
Cheers!
