Original article
Let's look through the Patch list for the week of 15/10/2019 to see what updates, changes and fixes have been made to TORN, 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 trade pings by commenting in the trade to send the other user an event (with spam limits)
This change comes after ORAN's suggestion to add some form of notification or event when someone adds a comment to a trade. The suggestion was accepted by Chedburn and he confirmed it will be implemented. There have also been limits put in place to prevent flooding.
- Added 'Crimes' link after using Cannabis
A link to Crimes has been added after using Cannabis for consistency with other drugs providing links to the Gym (Xanax and Ecstasy, for example) after a report from Wilinator.
- Added message length limit while sending items
Vulture observed here that when sending items to other players there was no visible character limit, and when including a large enough message, would cause service issues for the sender. Xepa4ep has stated this is now fixed and confirmed the issues were just visual for the sender.
- Improved 'Faction co-leader change' faction news and events
After a report from Blistig, the faction news and events system for the changing of co-leader has been completely rebuilt by Chedburn to display a different message depending on the condition. It was also noted that everyone involved, including the leader (even if they aren't involved), will receive the exact same event.
- Changed Slots animation to increase in speed after several consecutive spins in a row
- Changed Slots chance of jackpot to increase with higher bets, I.e. x2 for $100, up to x64 for $10,000,000
Both of these changes have been implemented following Nova's suggestion to include an option of removing the Slots animation to save time when burning through their daily casino tokens, gaining large amounts of support from the community in just a few short hours. Chedburn, while not so keen on the idea of removing the animation entirely, providing many reasons for why that could only be a detriment to the game, and encourage jackpot farming instead of actually playing as intended.
However, a later post by iribuya suggested an increase in the chances of getting the jackpot for higher bets - up to x64 with $10,000,000 - which Chedburn responded positively to, stating that it is what he had in mind, and he could potentially have the animation sped up after successive uses.
- Changed formatting of all company director triggered events (replaced hyphen with comma)
Company events (e.g. when training an employee, changing their wage / position) have had the hyphen after the Director's name replaced with a comma after being mentioned by Stewie.
- Changed random hospital time from the dirty bomb building process to avoid potential mission targets
Luca23 noticed while doing a mission that their target had been affected by radiation poisoning. It was stated by aurel1 that it may have simply been one of the possible gameplay scenarios, and couldn't change anything in the meantime without approval. However, Chedburn has since made a fix that should make this scenario far less likely to occur; if a user is in a faction currently building a Dirty Bomb, they will not receive random doses of radiation if they are inactive and a potential mission target.
- Changed 'Watchlist' flight delay company special to increase the user's personal & faction stats for travel time
After having their flight delayed, BFM observed that their time spent traveling did not reflect this. Chedburn stated that he'd managed to make this work, and delaying a flight will now increase the users time spent traveling in personal stats and faction stats.
- Removed the donate button for unique items on 'All' tab (Showing 'Sell' instead)
Bennyh noticed that they were unable to donate their weapons to the faction armory. Xepa4ep noted that this is because unique items such as weapons and armor can only be donated via the Faction armory page. The "Donate" button has also been removed from the "All" tab for such items, replacing it with "Sell".
Bugs, Fixes, and Typos
- Fixed some issues with company position names that were too long
An issue with company position names overlapping the position underneath when accessing the 'Rank' dropdown has been confirmed as resolved by Chedburn after a report from Flying_Dutchman.
- Fixed 'graphical newspaper ad accept' event to mention a refund has been provided with YAZ benefit
Baldr reported here that they were unsure if they had received the $45,000,000 refund with their YAZ stock after their Newspaper banner had been accepted. Stewie confirmed the money had definitely been refunded after checking the logs, but subsequently assigned the report over to Chedburn to inquire about mentioning the refund in the event. Chedburn confirmed this had been added and would be live on the next push.
- Fixed 'next cost' confirmation text when resetting merits with multiple free resets available
Alec reported here an issue with the text displayed after using up one of their free merit resets, stating the cost of the next one will remain 500 points. Chedburn noted that while a little tricky, he'd found a way to resolve it. Now, if you have more than 1 free merit reset: "This will use up one of your free merit resets."
- Fixed dirty bomb detonation overriding previously hit users with lower hospital time & radiation poisoning
Chedburn has resolved an issue with the effects of radiation poisoning overriding higher values after a report from four.
- Fixed issue with wasting energy drinks and candy usage after reaching maximum energy / happiness
Kowalski observed that it was possible for energy drinks to be consumed while stacked at 1,000 energy — effectively wasting them while also still gaining booster cooldown.
- Fixed action of Awards sidebar empty space while clicking/hovering it
Kyrn observed here that while hovering over the panel underneath the medals and honors category, tabs could be "clicked" on. Nikitad has since confirmed that this issue has been resolved.
- Fixed graphical issue with the tabs on the Rules and Church pages
Reported separately by MikePence, TheSlinger, and DaQ (here, here, and here respectively) an issue was raised whereby the tabs on the Rules and Church pages were displaying black outlines. These have all been marked as fixed by Stewie.
- Fixed item names: "Crow bar" > "Crowbar", "Bull Whip" > "Bullwhip", "Cutlass Sword" > "Cutlass"
sawfish reported here a few item names having inconsistencies, which have been resolved by Chedburn.
- Fixed issue with additional dollar symbol while managing item market items
top0 noticed that when editing the price of an item on the Items Market and immediately saving, a glitch will duplicate the dollar sign in the input box. Xepa4ep has confirmed this issue is now resolved.
- Fixed issue with item quantity while selling items in shops
CRLF observed in this report that upon selling 1 of their items (Pack of Blank CDs : 100) to the Torn City Super Store, immediately after having purchased 100, the quantity shown in the "Sell items" panel was displayed as "xNaN". Xepa4ep has confirmed this is now resolved.
- Fixed issue when trying to buy items from the bazaar with leading 0 in the amount field
Possum observed that while placing a 0 in front of the quantity you intend to purchase (e.g. 0024), an error ("No items were found in this bazaar, or none to buy!") would be displayed. Xepa4ep has now confirmed this is resolved.
- Fixed error message when trying to sell an equipped item
CyberCommander reported that when attempting to sell an equipped weapon back to the system via the Items page, the displayed message would be "Are you sure you would like to sell the [item] for $?". This will now display the message "You no longer own this item or it is equipped", after being confirmed as fixed by Xepa4ep.
Typos
- Fixed grammar / typos
1. SVD_NL noticed in this report that one of the travel facts could be misinterpreted without an oxford comma. This has been corrected by Chedburn.
2. Lat observed some inconsistencies with the spelling of "traveling", and sometimes using the British-English version "travelling". This has been corrected by Chedburn.
3. Apenguinarmy noticed that the award "Clotted" was still using the spelling "haemolytic" instead of "hemolytic", and has now been corrected by Chedburn.
4. Magic_XD noticed the text displayed under stock shipments references seeing your current shipments that are due or already delivered as being below the order form, instead of above it. This has since been corrected by Chedburn.
