Let's look through all the changes and fixes which have been made throughout the week as listed in Tuesday's Patch list, and what they mean for you.
Updates, Changes, and Additions
- Added Coingate to accept Bitcoin payments from any wallet (replaced BitPay finally!)
Mentioned by Chedburn in a couple of bug reports (here, and here) Torn has been looking for a replacement for BitPay over much of the past year. Coingate is the new service provider which will be used to accept Bitcoin transactions.
- Increased Russian Roulette timeout timer back to 3 minutes
Originally, once a Russian Roulette game had started, each player had three minutes to take their shot. This was changed to one minute on the down-low by Chedburn, however, as it caused more problems than the change was worth, he agreed to increase it back to three minutes after this report from RealityShift.
Bugs, Fixes, and Typos
- Fixed sidebar issue with energy appearing red when it was over maximum
It was reported here by Josephine that when using cans and going over your maximum, there would be a red countdown like there would be when happiness goes over. dmitriyz fixed this.
- Fixed user autocomplete for sending items on Items page
Reported here by Wyat, he found that when attempted to send some Chamois Plushies to 1punch, he had mistakenly sent them to Chedburn. It was found that if you attempted to send the items before waiting for the auto-completion list to load, it would send them to the ID 1 instead. alexanderl fixed this. No more free plushies for Chedburn.
- Fixed plural / singular within the 'depositing points' message on Factions
Charlesy reported here that when depositing a single point to the faction, it should be "point" instead of "points". ivanu made this change.
- Fixed input when editing the new faction balances (shorthand now works)
L4suicide reported here that when editing users faction balance, you couldn't use shorthand (1k > 1,000; 1b > 1,000,000,000). catherineis fixed this.
- Fixed an issue with the company search page
Josephine reported here that company search results all displayed on the one page, despite showing as having 48-pages of results. svyatoslavy fixed this; however, in doing so, it appears they've moved the table headers above the pagination - as reported here.
- Fixed an issue with company search tool failing to find certain companies
WiseTheRumGone reported here that when attempting to use the Corporate Espionage special in his Software Corporation company, it couldn't find the company in question. alexanderl fixed this.
- Fixed an issue with updating of the Hall of Fame
Harley reported here that the Hall of Fame values were no longer updating, and that essentially all that could be viewed was old data. vysdel2 resolved this fairly quickly.
- Optimized backdrop rendering
Mauk reported here that backdrops on slower devices would be unusable due to how much of a performance hit they are. Regardless of how powerful your machine is, there would still be a significant performance drop. catherineis has resolved this.
- Fixed deleting events when using laptop with 'Delete selected' feature
cockroach reported here that the "Delete selected" option for Events did not work at all while using the Laptop item. dmitriyz resolved this.
- Changed maximum property price in estate listings to 10 digits
It was reported here that if the listing price for selling and renting properties was too high, it would cause layout issues on the Properties Page, and the Estate Agents in both mobile and desktop. It was also noted that there was not any pricing restriction on listing properties - as much as 19-digits. nikitad confirmed that this has been fixed.
- Fixed "Market price" on the "Property info" page in mobile view being truncated
After a change made in last week's patch to include upgrade costs in the property market value, MJ_Cookie noticed the value wasn't fully visible on Mobile Torn. nikitad confirmed this issue has been fixed.
- Fixed code virus list duration (now shows correct number of days for bonuses)
MightyGoober reported here that when going to start coding a virus, the completion time shown was not accounting for any reduction bonuses the user might have. Chedburn noted that this had actually been avoided due to laziness, but that it had now been changed. Another bug report has been created by XxKaileexX to (hopefully) address the issue once again regarding "1 days" being used instead of "1 day."
Typos
Sepulchrave reported here that the error message for a car already being in a race was "This car is currently in race"; however, it should be "This car is currently in a race." This was resolved by aurel1.
The typo's fixed for Cha Cha's gym and Duke's fail messages are believed to be unreported, but it would seem there was an error in both of these places that has been corrected.
Extras (Not included in the Patch list)
1. After a change made last year (2018) which increased the characters of API keys from 8 to 16, Helcostr noticed here that the documentation hadn't been updated to reflect this. aurel1 resolved this.
2. 8910PetaN noticed an error in one of the questions (Which Country has America never been at war with?) for the Military Interview where the correct answer of "France" wasn't entirely accurate if they were counting the Quasi-War. After asking for ideas on a replacement, Chedburn adjusted this question to ask "Which Country has America never declared war on?"
Honour Bar
This weeks honour bar is "Mercenary" for completing 1,000 mission contracts. Anyone who has already reached this amount can trigger this by completing one additional contract.

- Added quantity of free refills & free merit resets to Points Building
Dekloren reported here that he should have two available free merit resets, and queried if this number could be shown to indicate this. Chedburn suggested leaving it how it is if there's only one available, but for more than one, it would be displayed as "[P] N FREE". And if they were doing that, the display would also need to be altered for free refills (energy and nerve), so svyatoslavy made this change.

- Added event sent to the previous co-leader when co-leadership is changed
ttyper reported here that you didn't receive an event when you were removed from a factions Co-Leader position, yet you do when you are given this position. Chedburn added this event.- Fixed disabling "One merit" points option after buying all available merits for user's level
Solaris reported here that despite being a level 100 who has purchased the maximum amount of merits for their level, the "One Merit" button was still activated for them. Chedburn agreed that there was an issue and that once the user has purchased the maximum amount of merits for their level, the button should now be deactivated with "OWNED" status - and if they level up, the button will become active again. nikitad confirmed that this change has now been made.

Typos
- Fixed busting honor description inconsistency with the medals
- Fixed racing 'car in a race' error text typo
- Fixed Cha Cha's gym dexterity exercise typo
- Fixed typo in Duke's regular fail messages
IceBlueFire reported that the honour bar description for "Don't Drop It" (and the rest of the busting honours) was not consistent with busting medals. Chedburn adjusted this, and now all busting awards have the description "Bust N people from the Torn City jail."
