There were a dozen or so broken wigs and contacts in the game. Fixing them was not possible in all cases due to the lack of messaging they had. I believe these are from before some fixes we made to their creation a few years back.
In cases where I could not fix them, I have removed them and left a pile of chyen equal to their value.
There was a bug where if you were a bystander in a room where a person was grappled, and another person came in and grappled the person grappling the original person you would see a message like:
Chaim locks Draupadi Goldsmith in a powerful hold and breaks her grip on nothing.
I have fixed the 'nothing'.
Art mementos were not using their machetes because they were equally skilled in brawling, and the system picks the 'best' skill and if two are exactly the same it's going to pick the first one, and brawling comes before long_blade.
I updated the memento so the brawling is slightly lower than long_blade, resolving the issue.
@lease now handles assigning and unassigning shops from being part of the courier crate system when an admin assigns a lease/clears a lease.
This makes admin lives easier and speeds up the lease process while reducing issues due to missing a step in the process.
This command allows admin to review pending/approved but unpaid/denied/paid out expenses for players going back a year. Makes it a lot easier for staff to track this stuff.
Any expenses that have been approved, but the player has not collected them for a year (reaped, stopped playing, fired, etc) will now be pruned off. Saves us space!
Performance cooldown has been dropped from 60 seconds to 30 seconds.
Did some minor optimization to the Where's The Party At script with bartenders.
Using the same system as the "Where's the party at?" script, we have integrate GPT responses into the menu auto-responses. Just mention 'menu', 'on tap' or 'serving' in your question.
For example: "What are you serving?" "What's on tap?" "What is the menu?"
Let us know any issues!
Some of these messages were a little bit smallworld, and they've been fixed. And they have also been integrated with GPT. Just ask the NPC 'how's business?' to test this out!
This elevator lobby was never set up properly. Not sure how it's gone this long without being reported but it was busted! It's fixed now.
For some reason all pet NPCs liked the generic NPC, so like, they would jump in on fights in some situations. It was weird. I have made them not like all NPCs. Don't know if it was intended or if it was an accident that all had this prop set. If anyone see's any wonkiness please submit a bug.
I've updated help painting to say it's against the rules (like tailoring) to make multiples of an item and sell them in the market. That's not the intention of the system, and we don't want people doing that. I don't think people were -- but it was pointed out that help tailoring has this warning and help painting does not. So, updated!
I've pulled all the paintings out of the market, reviewed them, removed a few from game, and placed the rest into an IC gallery that exists in the game.
I've added a confirmation step that warns what components will be used and that they will likely be consumed in the process, when you execute a craft command. This should prevent people who haven't used the system a lot from consuming items they are not intended to consume.
There was a bug where if someone was on a bike as a passenger, moving between rooms when they were very dehydrated or burned would cause them to KO-- and then the bike moves again and they KO again even though they were already KO'd. I fixed that.
It didn't make sense that people on bikes got the damage/thirst/cold/etc every time they entered a room. They might have been going 100 rooms, in 5 min, so getting burned or being dehydrated didn't make sense.
I've made it a roughly 1 in 10 chance to experience ill effects if out in the badlands on a bike and not totally covered, etc. This does include cold, which probably COULD be worse if on a bike and going fast, but I don't think it's a big enough deal to require additional code paths to handle it.
This should make it a more realistic experience being out there on a bike.
Taxis prefer to dispatch PC players, but there was a bug where even if the player was offline in their cab they would possibly get dispatched. This is fixed for Chex/SkyFox.
There were no Skyfox NPC drivers because GMs gave their cabs to players. I have fixed this. There is now one NPC Skyfox driver and they will respond to calls.
We were missing code in our donation tools to bring a pad out of eviction when a donation was paid on a membership pad. This has been fixed, and when we are able to auto apply a membership it should clear eviction on a registered pad.
I thought I had enabled this back in September, but I missed a portion of the code. It should work now if you find a vendor that buys/sells vehicle related stuff.
Applies to: Dispersal grenades, disease, etc.
If you are wearing an airtight, undamaged, airtight helmet, you no longer need a full environmental suit to be protected agents airborne agents. Previously you had to be fully enclosed in a suit, or have a sinus cyberware. Now a suitable helmet alone will protect you from airborne stuff.
All wearable musical instruments have had their thickness set to -1, meaning they should be OK to wear over anything.
If you touched neural network interface chip, or other unavailable wares on a board it would generate a TB. I've fixed this.
If you told an animal to guard and they accept the command they would speak their acceptance. Now they just growl.
Bombs that are triggered by progias will no longer cause the calling progia to TB due to trying to ring a phone that was recycled due to the explosion.
Revamped and added some new instructions to the GPT prompt for bartenders, which lords over any Q&A GPT interaction with bartenders such as the Where's The Party, etc.
The responses might be grittier and shorter.
If you tried to set a plate shifter to a plate that already exists, it would fail with a TB. Now it fails with an IC indicator that the plate was not shifted.
You can't use plates that are already existing on other vehicles.
Did some improvements to the prompt related to where the NPC is at. There was a bug for bartenders at bars inside vehicles / AVs.
There are certain situations and items that can cause a character to be 'blind' in game, and not be able to see the room descriptions / and other things, such as having a (coded) black bag on their head. When these situations arise, the player will now take penalties during any combat they are involved in.
There was a bug where if you enter a multi-room vehicle from room you would still see some of the room information even when blind. I've updated this to better handle character blindness.
Stealth was breaking when sneaking onto mag-levs but not when you snuck off, due to a misplaced line of code. I have put that line of code where it should be and it's now possible to sneak onto a mag-lev.
The persistent TERRA npcs were reported to not be using weapons in combat.This was due to their brawling being the same as their melee, and thus it picked brawling which it checks first. This was technically not a bug so much as the npcs not being configured correctly. Fixed.
There were a few bugs when a skateboard was involved in a crash in the express tubes. The first was that the character saw multiple messages (1st and 3rd person). I've fixed that.
There was a TB when a skateboarder was hit by a car in the express tubes due to the way it was expecting the people inside the vehicle to be impacted, despite it not being an actual interior vehicle. I've fixed the TB and these crashes work well now.
