Let's have a look through the latest Patch List as posted by Chedburn to see what updates, changes, and fixes have been made to Torn 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
- Added loot status to NPC profiles when they're not in the hospital.
- Changed rarest NPC loot to be unavailable at lower loot levels.
- Changed loot level to start increasing on NPCs immediately after they come out of hospital.
- Changed loot level to increase substantially quicker: 30, 90, 210, 450 (minutes).
- Changed hospital time of NPCs upon defeat to 100 - 120 minutes (reduction).
A number of slight changes have been made to the looting system this week! Previously, the specifics had not been released publicly, however Chedburn has now revealed that once an NPC is out of hospital their "Loot level" will increase after 30, 90, 210 and 450 minutes - apparently much less time than before. Additionally, the time they spend in hospital upon being defeated has also been reduced to between 100-120 minutes.
Some of the more rare items, such as Duke's Rheinmetall MG 3 and Leslie's Beretta Pico, are now unavailable at the lower loot levels, so it will definitely be profitable to wait a while. Fortunately, an NPCs loot level has also been added in yellow to the Status on their profile page (e.g. "Okay, Loot level IV").
- Changed cosmetic pants / trousers so they can be equipped on top of armor.
There has been lengthy discussion previously about the ability to equip certain items of clothing with armour pieces that generally cover the same area of the body; for example, this thread started by GeorgeCostanza, or this one started by rainbowsaurus. As of this week, items of clothing such as Santa's Pants or Leslie's Sweatpants that would normally take the place of armour, such as Combat Pants, may now be worn on top of armour.
- Changed racing car removal confirmation font color to red in an attempt to stop people deleting their own cars.
The message displayed when selecting to remove an enlisted car has been changed to have a red font. Presumably, this is due to the amount of bug reports created where users are not sure where their car has gone to. However, if you do delete a car, it is definitely possible for it to be restored. This change was presumably made by aurel1.
- Removed "Icon Size" options from the "Icon settings" tab on the Preferences page.
The options to change your icon's size on your sidebar has been removed. These sizes were previously either Small (12px), Medium (14px), or Large (16px).
Bugs, Fixes, and Typos
- Fixed potential issues with queries killing scripts half-way through during critical server performance.
- Fixed some transactions not working as intended during critical server performance (ongoing).
- Fixed an issue with some items not being removed upon use during critical server performance.
These three notes are focused around the issues that were present after the server's performance went critical. This ended up generating a lot of bug reports on money being lost when deposited to a player's property vault, or people not receiving their Russian Roulette winnings. Other users experienced issues where items were not removed after being used during these times. These issues have now mostly been fixed, with some still ongoing.
- Fixed broken sound on Russian Roulette when using Safari (Mojave).
moistpussy reported that no sound was being heard during Russian Roulette on Safari (macOS Mojave). svyat770 has confirmed this as resolved.
- Fixed access issue of Big Al's Gun Shop while traveling.
fuad reported here that while traveling, they had noticed that "Big Al's Gun Shop" was still accessible. While an error message was displayed upon attempting to purchase anything, it certainly was strange the page could be accessed in the first place, as noted by Chedburn. This one was resolved by aurel1.
- Fixed page content being selected when quickly clicking buttons on Crimes & Hunting.
This issue was seemingly not reported in the Bugs & Issues forum, however, when quickly doing crimes and hunting, quickly clicking buttons would select the page's content, highlighting it (e.g. as id you were copying and pasting the text). This has now been fixed.
- Fixed hunting not displaying the remaining energy upon result.
- Fixed hunting not providing unique errors upon 'low money' / 'low energy'.
kotaku reported here that while Hunting, they were not able to see the remaining energy they had available, making it difficult to save enough energy for returning back to Torn. Chedburn confirmed this had been resolved, and additionally has added unique errors upon the user having low money and energy.
- Fixed item information & bonuses block not appearing on bazaar manage page.
infinity reported that it was not possible to view item information panels while managing your bazaar's prices. However, in addition to this being fixed, a 'Details' column has been added which displays weapon and armour stat values and bonuses. Xepa4ep made these changes.
- Fixed company position ordering (highest -> lowest) on company listings page.
Stewie reported that while the ordering of employee lists had been changed to highest to lowest based on their rank, this was not the case for the company position panels on job listings pages. This has been confirmed as resolved by Chedburn.
- Fixed starter job promotion green glow outline on tablet / mobile modes.
An issue with the green glow for the job promotion button has been resolved for mobile and tablet modes, a fairly self-explanatory fix.
- Fixed navigation to the "Competition" page after clicking the "Back to competition" link.
- Fixed the "Back to competition" link appearing during non-competition periods.
RandomSaiyan and MrDoe reported in two separate bug reports, here and here respectively, that when clicking the 'Back to Competition' link from the Token Shop while no competition is currently running, they would be directed to a blank screen. Chedburn noted in RandomSaiyan's report that this link should really only be displayed during a competition. Nikitad confirmed this has been resolved.
- Fixed broken margin issue with Mr/Ms Torn header image layout.
An issue with the Mr & Ms Torn competition header having a broken layout has been fixed, presumably by Xepa4ep.
Typos
- Fixed issue with backslash in Mr / Ms Torn decline events.
Proxima reported that after having their submission declined, they noticed a backslash present in the event received stating this. This has been resolved by Xepa4ep.
- Fixed some punctuation issues in mission description.
JerichoEdwards reported here an error noticed involving some broken text, which instead of displaying correctly showed some strange characters. This was corrected by aurel1.
- Fixed attacking pepper spray log typo.
In this report, PrincessJulie reported an issue with the incorrect usage of "disorientated", which should instead be "disoriented", and has now been corrected by aurel1.
- Fixed general grammar / typos.
1. Habanero noticed a typo in the success message after resetting their password, where the word "successfully" was spelt as "sucessfully". This was corrected by Chedburn.
Honor Bar
This week's Honor Bar is "Ripped", achieved by attaining 10,000,000,000 total stats.
