A rundown of all the latest changes that have happened throughout the week!
Updates and Additions
- Released Hairstyles and Backdrops in the Token Shop (ongoing)
Announced initially in the Autumn Newsletter, an expansion to the Token Shop was going to be released this Tuesday. However, a few bugs have led to a slight delay, although it is hoped the update will be available soon. When the issues are dealt with, tokens may be used to purchase wearable hairstyles and backdrops that will appear on your profile background.
- Changed faction balances editing rights to only leader / co-leader
With the the update to faction banking last week, BFM and others noticed that anyone with FM permissions (Full Ordinance Management) was able to edit balances. Intended only for Leaders and Co-Leaders, the undesired availability of this feature was rectified by ivanu.
Bugs and Fixes
- Fixed ordering of faction balances
Ordering of members on the 'Give to User' page was changed to display in descending order of balance.
- Fixed weapon effects applying when there was no damage
Reported here, it was noticed that even when dealing 0 damage to an opponent due to high defense, DOT effects such as burning would still deal 1 damage per turn.
- Fixed locking issue in Organised crimes during site slowness
Monkeymia reported a bug in which he was jailed from a successful Plane Hijacking OC. It was deduced that although there is protection in place to prevent racing conditions with organised crimes, this protection comes after users are placed in jail (in an OC failure). During a period of site-wide slowness, Monkeymia inadvertently initiated the OC twice, succeeding once and failing the second time. This has been prevented from happening in the future with an additional locking mechanic.
- Fixed resend newsletter feature on preferences page
Reported a couple of times, some users experienced issues with the Autumn Newsletter, being unable to resend it from their preferences page. Although it is unclear what caused the issue, tornberry has since resolved it.
- Fixed maximum rate of fire of Blowgun
Here, Green_Revolver noticed that the blowgun would fire multiple rounds of ammunition at the same time. Chedburn agreed this was strange and corrected it.
- Fixed displaying the "Copy link" button when the flash plugin is disabled
echoblast53 reported here an issue in which Flash must be enabled to copy the link for a profile image. Upon doing so, the flash box persisted even when one was no longer viewing said image. Chedburn suggested that Flash should not be utilised in this situation whatsoever, and this was resolved by nikitad.
- Fixed XSS issue related to title at some pages
Not reported publicly, developers fixed a site-vulnerability issue relating to the titles of certain pages.
- Fixed changing color in the "Who told you about Torn" field while clearing it in the "Registration" page
When registering an account on Torn, there is a box that allows you to specify how you discovered the site. Again, this was not reported formally in the B&I subforum, but presumably noticed throughout the week by developers. When erasing the contents of this box there was an issue with the background colour changing.
- Fixed switching to "Staff upgrades" tab after upgrading in the "Facilities & Modifications" tab
When upgrading a property, it was found that users were switched from the "Facilities & Modifications" tab to the "Staff Upgrades" tab automatically.
- [API] Added rarity to honors selection in Torn category
Requested by Stewie here, the rarity parameter ("Extraordinary", "Rare", "Common" etc) was added to the API honour bar selection.
- [API] Fixed issue with chain bonus modifiers in attacks selection
Pyrit noticed here that chain bonus modifiers in the API were all set to 1 incorrectly for some attacks. It was surmised that this issue arose from chain information not being stored for chains below 10, where the scaling multiplier starts.
Honour Bar
This week's honour bar is "Smart Alec", achieved by completing 10 education courses. This was automatically triggered by Chedburn upon release.
