Let's look through the Patch list for the week of 22/10/2019 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
- Rebuilt and fixed many areas site-wide for important CSP changes
More information regarding this important security update — which helps prevent against XSS, and other code-injection attacks — can be read in the following announcement from Chedburn.
- Added links to management settings when attempting to send an application when one already exists.
The error received when a player attempts to apply to a faction or company when they already have a pending application now includes a direct link to management settings, which will allow them to cancel their application. This has presumably been implemented to cut down on players repeatedly enquiring to ask how to cancel these.
- Added additional clarification to TV Network 'Press Pass' special results.
Additional clarification has been added to the Press Pass special result text making the user aware of what exactly has been increased. For example, "Your racing skill was increased by 0.5".
- Changed 'fight lose' trigger to automatically assign a new target if current one is fedded.
If you receive a target that is in federal jail for a mission requiring you to lose to your target — for example, Duke's "Motivator" contract — another will now be found. This change was made by aurel1 after a report from Vikenstein.
Bugs and Fixes
- Fixed 'Best Damage' personal stat to work with single hits rather than full turns (and reset all current values).
The 'Best Damage' personal stat will now only count your best damage made in a single hit rather than a full turn. This means that when using a weapon that has a chance of dealing multiple hits in a single turn,such as the Rheinmetall MG 3 ('Blindfire' bonus), it will only count the best damage made, instead of combining multiple damages one value. Along with this, all current values have been reset for a clean slate.
- Fixed issue with point deposits Faction News appearing in the Armory tab instead of the Funds tab.
Tyler observed in this report that while giving someone points from the faction would show up correctly in the 'Funds' tab, depositing points was showing in the 'Armory' tab. Stewie assigned the report to Kopites, who should have been able to handle it. However, after several months past, the report was picked up by Chedburn stating that he could handle it, and wasn't sure why it had taken so long in the first place — and later confirmed it had been fixed.
- Fixed wrong neighbors for AFD, XFD and GFD territories
Thanks to a report from Hank, the wrong neighbors for AFD, XFD, and GFD have been fixed by Kopites.
- Fixed issue with High Low's betting tabs layout on mobile devices.
DrakenZ noticed that while playing Hi-Low in mobile view, the dropdown to select the bet amount wasn't visible. svyat770 confirmed this is now resolved.
- Fixed showing / ordering of old 'faction ranks' on faction search list.
nosk observed here when looking at the faction's list (accessed via the search bar) that factions were still ordered by their old warring rank, instead of Respect DESC, as is the case for the Hall of Fame. Chedburn responded stating that this has now been corrected!
- Fixed page title when searching inside faction forum.
Arrow noticed here that when searching the forums in faction and company forums, the title shown in that browser's tab was "Access Denied | TORN", which Xepa4ep has now confirmed is resolved.
- Fixed bazaar error when trying to manage items while in hospital / jail.
It was observed by MarauderIIC that if someone who was hospitalized or jailed then attempted to manage their bazaar in an already opened tab, the error returned would be "undefined". This was resolved by Xepa4ep.
- Fixed issue with profanity filter on registration & custom races.
oldskoolsuzuki and Heasleys4hemp observed (here and here) that the profanity filter when starting custom races, and on account creation, was not functioning. aurel1 confirmed oldskoolsuzuki's report as fixed, while Xepa4ep fixed the report from Heasley4Hemp.
API: Updates, Changes, and Fixes
- [API] Added 'torn' > 'bank' selection to show base daily APR rates.
A new 'bank' selection has been added to the 'torn' category within the API by Chedburn, which will show the base daily APR rates after a report from Helcostr.
- [API] Fixed issue with charset in faction API response.
Pyrit noticed while looking in the faction category of API, that faction names did not correctly encode the "™" character, instead, returning an empty string. aurel1 confirmed this has been resolved.
- [API] Fixed numbers at the start of an array appearing as strings for 'medals' and 'education' selections.
Stiny observed while looking in the 'medals' and 'education' selections of the API that numbers at the start of an array were being incorrectly returned as a string. Chedburn confirmed he had resolved those which had been mentioned in the report.
Poker 2.0: Updates, Changes, and Fixes
- [POKER] Added statistics page (limited base only currently).
A new Poker Statistics page has been implemented, which can be used to see various stats, including Poker score. However, what is shown is currently limited, and will presumably be expanded upon in the future.
Honor Bar
"Devastation" — achieved by dealing at least 5,000 damage in a single hit.
