Original article
Let's have a look through the latest Patch list as posted by Chedburn to see what changes and fixes have been made this week, and what they mean for you.
Please note, the updates and bugs documented in this article are worked on by a team of developers. Where a single developer is individually mentioned, it simply reflects who confirmed the report as fixed or complete, and not that they were solely responsible.
Updates, Changes, and Additions
- Changed 'Hammer time' mission trigger to also count hits made with Duke's hammer
Max_Cohen reported here that for the missions requiring that you only use a hammer or baseball bat, "Duke's Hammer" and "Penelope" couldn't be used in their place, and after many bug reports being closed due to that being intentional behaviour, Chedburn agreed to having this changed. aurel1 confirmed these changes had been made.
- Added number of sets validation to the "Museum" page if the user inputs too many
Frinzell reported in this thread that they found themselves constantly trying to find the correct amount of available sets they have available to exchange, and proposed adding a range into the input box. However, nikitad later confirmed that if the user attempts to input more sets than they have, it will automatically default back to the max.
Bugs, Fixes, and Typos
- Fixed 'user selection' in the jail bailing law job special 'Criminal defense'
The field that is used to select the user you want to use this special on has been changed from a basic "copy and paste ID" to the User Name selector.
- Fixed data jumping after refreshing the Bounties page
It is believed that upon refreshing the bounty page, an issue causing data to jump around has been fixed.
- Fixed advertisement banners being instantly replaced after updating a Newspaper page
On some Newspaper pages, it is believed that once an advertisement banner had loaded, it was instantly replaced with another one. This has since been fixed.
- Fixed issue showing defender ammo details in attacking response before fight started
Presumably, players were able to view a defender's ammo details (via page-source) before the fight had even started which has now been fixed.
- Fixed issue which allowed a user to attack developer's accounts
A user reported (presumably, in private) that they were able to bypass the restriction in place disallowing developer accounts being attacked. Now that this has been resolved, the developers are free to go about their business without interuption.
- Fixed special characters when searching events
It is believed that some special characters (e.g. , ! and ?) couldn't be used when searching for events and has now been resolved. However, this may have caused another issue (reported by Helcostr) preventing multiple word phrases from being searched for.
- Fixed 'delete multiple messages' confirmation text
Xiphias reported here that when deleting multiple messages, the word "this" does not work as the plural of "messages." Chedburn stated that this should be displayed as "Are you sure you want to delete this message?" for deletion of a single message, and "Are you sure you want to delete 3 messages?" when multiple were selected for deletion.
- Fixed issue with wiki search tool
Kayla reported over in this thread that the search bar for the Wiki was no longer functioning as expected, and that while typing the exact title of the page into search would work, you wouldn't get suggestions when typing out your query. Chedburn confirmed this had been resolved.
- Fixed issue with some faction names not working with the "Advanced search" dropdown
After trying various methods, exfrog reported that they were unable to search for their faction using the 'Advanced search" functionality. This was because their faction includes the "!" character and while this issue was previously fixed on the standard search bar, it was not for advanced. nikitad confirmed a fix had been made.
- Fixed displaying rare items panel in the "Museum" page in old browser versions
Malinda reported here that they were unable to see the rare items panel of the Museum, and according to the Patch note, this was due to the user having an older browser version. nikitad confirmed this had been fixed.
abduunn reported here when selecting "Casino: Blackjack" from the search bar that they would be directed to the wrong URL, one that produces a 404 error. It seems this was also an issue for Poker and both were corrected at the same time, as confirmed by nikitad.
- Fixed direct 'trade accept' link accepting the trade without confirmation
ORAN reported a possible exploit here with the Trade system that allowed users to accept trades without any confirmation. Chedburn confirmed that a fix had been made to disable direct linking to "trade accept."

Updates, Changes, and Additions
- Added numerical input shortcuts in the "Stock" tab of the Company page
Redkozak reported here that it was not possible to use shorthand to order company stocks (e.g. "1k" > 1,000). nikitad confirmed this functionality had been added.
- Changed 'Hammer time' mission trigger to also count hits made with Duke's hammer
Max_Cohen reported here that for the missions requiring that you only use a hammer or baseball bat, "Duke's Hammer" and "Penelope" couldn't be used in their place, and after many bug reports being closed due to that being intentional behaviour, Chedburn agreed to having this changed. aurel1 confirmed these changes had been made.

However, nikitad later confirmed that if the user attempts to input more sets than they have, it will automatically default back to the max.
- Changed "Start a custom race" button to appear at the top of the page
Tipsy reported here that since you can now view Custom Races in progress, this made the list of races on this tab much longer and having to scroll all the way to the bottom to start a new one could become a pain. While unsure how to make it look right, Chedburn passed this along to aurel1 to have a look at. aurel1 made this change.

- Fixed date on graph tooltips using client's local time instead of TCT
Reported here, by BotaJ, the tooltip on the stock market graphs were going by the user's system time, in their case, US Cental rather than Torn time (UTC). Chedburn stated that this was perhaps more of an issue for many of Torn's graphs, and that system time shouldn't be used anywhere on Torn. nikitad confirmed this had been fixed.

- Fixed redirecting to the "Blackjack" and "Poker" pages after choosing them in the search bar
abduunn reported here when selecting "Casino: Blackjack" from the search bar that they would be directed to the wrong URL, one that produces a 404 error. It seems this was also an issue for Poker and both were corrected at the same time, as confirmed by nikitad.

- Fixed 'Gym' link appearing after using Love Juice
RGiskard reported here that when using the drug "Love Juice," underneath the message was a link to the Gym. However, since Love Juice is attacking-related, RGiskard suggested that it would make more sense to link to your Faction page instead. Chedburn corrected this.

Typos
- Fixed "RIP in peace" meme travel fact to avoid future bug reports
After multiple bug reports that were becoming ever more frequent, Delldax reported the issue of the RIP in peace joke being misinterpeted as an error once more. "[...] RIP in Peace Cecil, we hardly knew ye" has now been changed. Chedburn opted to alter it to avoid further confusion.

- Fixed typos in the "New Trade" panel of the "Trade" page
Stewie reported here that a couple of typos were present in the "New Trade" panel on the Trade page, such as "Please type in the person ID below" and each sentence was also missing a period (.) at the end. It was also noted that "can" in the line regarding adding a description implied adding one is optional, but nothing was changed with that one, sadly. However, nikitad confirmed the others had been corrected.Honor Bar
