Weekly Patch Notes 04/12/18

Proxima [1879587] —
Let's 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


- Added freeze weapon bonus to Snow cannons
- Added emasculate weapon bonus to Pink Mac-10s

Continuing with the release of unique weapon bonuses; "Freeze" was added to the Snow Cannon, which has a 20-25% chance to reduce Dexterity and Speed by 50%, and "Emasculate" was added to the Pink Mac-10, which increases your happy by 15-20% of it's maximum upon using the weapon for a finishing hit.


- Changed bazaar item listing price to allow 11 digit numbers (from 10)

Hank reports here that when trying to list a Gold Plated AK-47 in his bazaar, he is unable to do so as bazaars do not allow for pricing an item with more than 10 digits ($9,999,999,999 maximum). Chedburn has increased this limit.


- Changed employee 'days in company' to increase before daily income reports (instead of after)

MJ_Cookie reported here that if a player joins a company while the cron runs for a new company day, that player will have a day added to their "days in company" stat. Chedburn chose to move the "increase days in company" tick to run before the main company cron to rectify this.


- Fixed .jpeg extensions not working in the image uploader

echoblast53 reports here that the .jpeg file extension is not allowed for uploading pictures to Torn. Chedburn agreed that this should not be the case, commenting on a new image uploader system, and nikitad has fixed this.



Bugs and Fixes


- Fixed dog tag event text appearing on user profiles after completion

Despite Dog Tags having completed, PabloM notices here that on a players profile their competition status still reads
"Dog tag competition is in progress. Everyone has been credited with one dog tag.". This was confirmed by Chedburn, and fixed by Xepa4ep.


- Fixed broken item titles in the "Auction House" page

Harley reports here an issue with overlapping text on the mobile view of the auction house, which nikitad has corrected.


- Fixed recording messages in the "Deposits" tab of faction news when the user left the faction

Reported by HenkiePuk, he noticed here that when editing the balances of members that leave a faction, it is met with the response "
XX adjusted YY's recorded money balance from $0 to $0". nikitad has now fixed this.


- Fixed incorrect value being shown on the personal stats page for rehabilitations

Noticed here by -John-, severe_torture's stats for rehab were displaying $0 spent, despite having rehabbed ~23,000 times. This was amended by nikitad.


- Fixed youtube video width in newspaper articles

Uriah reported here that videos embedded in newspaper articles appear too wide for the page, and even suggested his own fix, which Xepa4ep has been able to implement.


- Fixed additional space before damage in attacking log

four notices here an extra space in attack logs, between "did" and the damage value, which aurel1 has corrected.


- Fixed changing big input value number while trading

In another issue with the trade deposit field, loveu2 reports here that when editing a 12 digit number by replacing a digit, it will instead remove the digit, effectively removing a lot more money than intended. nikitad has since provided a fix for this.


- Fixed chats sync issues

Here and here several users report issues with Global chat not syncing correctly if they open Torn in a separate window or tab. vysdel2 has hopefully been able to find a fix for this.


- Fixed chats sorted alphabetically

Kata reports here that her chats automatically reordered one day in alphabetical order. vysdel2 comments that this was a bug related to clearing a browser's cache, and not, in fact, a feature. He has since implemented a fix for all new chats.



Extras - Not in the Patch List

- Accuracy Mod effects fixed

Part of an ongoing discussion regarding weapon accuracy and mods, it was reported here that there were obvious issues with the way that accuracy mods were being applied to weapons. Among many issues, it was found that +13% accuracy (brake) and +14% accuracy (sight) mods would add the exact same bonus the hit chance of a weapon. This was caused by a rounding issue with the internal base accuracy of weapons, removed by Chedburn.


- CityWatch Patch

Doug reports here that he is experiencing issues when attempting to log in to CityWatch. Relating to an issue with conflicting versions of Java, an update to CityWatch was made available for download.



Honour Bar

This week's honour bar is "Pressure Point", earned by achieving 100 one-hit kills. This can be triggered if already completed by making another one-hit-kill.
