Weekly Patch Notes 27/11/18

Stewie [1494547]
Let's have a look through all the changes and fixes that happened throughout the week as listed in Tuesday's Patch list, and what they mean.
Updates, changes and additions

- Changed item name "Mace" to "Flail"

Zarvarx reports here that the item image for the weapon Mace does not represent the true look of the weapon, and instead represents a Flail. A Flail is a head that is attached to the handle by a chain, or a rope, while the head of a Mace is attached directly to the handle. Chedburn agreed to simply change the name of the item to Flail instead, and thus also eliminates any potential confusion Mace could have with Pepper Spray.

- Changed shops by swapping 'Sell items' and 'Buy items' panels

Dekloren reports here that City Shops unintuitively have the 'Sell to shop' panel above the 'Buy from shop', and queries if they can be switched around, as players are more likely to visit City Shops to purchase items, rather than selling items at the low prices offered. Chedburn passed this on to one of the Developers, stating that it shouldn't be too difficult to change, and was marked as 'Fixed' by nikitad.

- [API] Fixed some unnecessarily hidden/private stats in user > personalstats

A change was posted here which explained how One Hit Kills were to be made publically available via Personal Stats. However, MightyGoober noticed that this still wasn't the case for the API, and has been changed by Chedburn to reflect the earlier change.

- [API] Added territorynews, chainnews and crimenews selections to faction category

After Organised Crime news was separated from the main faction news, Tonyuh requests here if 'crimenews' could be added as an API call. Chedburn made this change, and on top of that, also added 'territorynews' and 'chainnews'.


Bugs & Fixes

- Fixed an issue with respect Hall of Fame

Icydraft reported here that while they were already in a Faction, the Hall of Fame was saying to "Join a faction to increase". This one was resolved by Dima.

- Fixed item info graphs when adding items to Trades

Taking a break from his many typo bug reports, TheSamminAter reports here that the value and circulation charts fail to load for item info on the Trades page.

- Fixed the list of members selected for organised crime appearing in faction news

Reported here, by The_SamminAter, Organised Crimes in the Faction News included an extra comma after the selected users. Chedburn opted to change it so that it will include 'and' before the last user.

- [API] Fixed issue with wrong values in Hall of Fame battlestats

IceBlueFire reported here that the data for battlestats was wrong in 'User' > 'hof'. While unsure how long this has been broken for, it was fixed by Dima.

- Fixed chat box reporting without confirmation

Reported here by Accurate, it seems there was no confirmation for reporting a chat on Mobile. Although Accurate is in federal jail, and probably does not care about this, Dima fixed it anyway!

- Fixed online icon on profiles of players who were offline and in dropdown lists

Harley, and Dolfwagos, in two separate threads, reported here and here respectively, noted that status indicators no longer displayed in player search dropdown boxes, and that the status indicator also disappeared from profile pages if the user was off-line. These two were both fixed by Dima.

- Fixed an issue with the word filter on chat

Blunt reported here, that he was unable to use the word "denigrate" in faction chat, due to being censored, only to find out that it was not censored on the Forums - which led to him creating the bug report. It appears as if Dima has made it so that the word is no longer censored in chats!

- Fixed a donator page layout issue for subscriptions

echoblast53 reported here some layout issues on the Donator page, and Chedburn made them aware that the Developers were already looking into it. This was marked as fixed by Dima, only a couple of weeks later!

- Fixed grammar issues on museum page

Gandalf reported here that there were some grammar issues on the Museum page, where it was using the incorrect form of "an". Chedburn resolved this fairly quickly!

Extras (Not included in the Patch list)

1. Reported here by BeerDrinker, that the title and subtitle fields for the Reporting Panel do not display double quotes and apostrophes (or single quote) correctly, and are instead displayed as """ and "'" respectively.

Honour Bar

This weeks honour bar is 'Double Dragon', which is achieved by assisting in a single attack. To trigger simply make an assist. With 'Sidekick' for 250 assists also having been released, it's possible we are yet to see a whole range of assist-related honours!
