Weekly Patch Notes 19/11/2019

Stewie [1494547]
Let's look through the Patch list for the week of 19/11/2019 to see what updates, changes, and fixes have been made by the Developers, 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, Removals, and Additions


- Added 'Value of received bounties' personal stat.

In a suggestion by Amran123, it was proposed that since there was a stat to show how much money had been spent on placing bounties, no such stat existed for those received. Chedburn confirmed that logs existed, going back to December 2015, which could be used to pre-populate such a statistic. At a later date, this was confirmed as having been added.


- Added new racing category with 4 stats into personal stats.

After a suggestion from Kupe, the Personal Stats page now displays a few (currently limited) statistics for racing. These include Racing Skill (private stat), Racing points earned, Races entered, and Races won — with more statistics likely to come at a later date!


- Added networth category with 17 subcategories of networth distribution (populating currently).

After a suggestion from Untouchable, a full networth breakdown has been added to the Personal Stats page.

This includes your networth in your wallet, vaults, bank, overseas bank, points, inventory, display case, bazaar, property, stock market, auction house, bookies, company, piggy banks, pending, loans, and unpaid fees.


- Added new money input field shortcuts for additional fractions.

XxKaileexX made an observation here regarding the use of fractions in money inputs, specifically that those which have a numerator which isn't a 1 and a denominator above 4 would not work. It was suggested that these could be extended to most simple fractions if there was an easy way for it to be implemented. All of the fractions below are now possible, as proposed by Chedburn:

1/2
1/3, 2/3
1/4, 2/4, 3/4
1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5
1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6
1/7, 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, 6/7
1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8
1/9, 2/8, 3/9, 4/9, 5/9, 6/9, 7/9, 8/9
1/10, 2/10, 3/10, 4/10, 5/10, 6/10, 7/10, 8/10, 9/10


- Updated fonts on Dog Tags to improve clarity.

A simple but effective change. Dog Tags now display in fonts that are much easier to read!


- Opened the Christmas Town Editor to the public (Level 10+).

This Christmas Town Editor has now been made public for those who are level 10 and higher. It is recommended that any players who wish to make their own maps read Proxima's forthcoming guide, which will be published in the newspaper early next week.


- Changed "Flash Bang" to "Flash Grenade" in attack logs.

For consistency, "Flash Bang" has now been changed to "Flash Grenade" in attack logs after a report from Hawk; aurel1 confirmed this change.


- Changed stock market to only produce sales events when at least 5% of the shares are bought (reverted).

This change spawned after a suggestion by Proxima, suggesting check-boxes be added to the Stock Portfolio page to suppress events for each selected block. Instead, Chedburn proposed a quick fix, in which events would only be received if N% of shares were sold. This was later confirmed to be 5% once Chedburn confirmed its implementation. However, the change was quickly reverted after a report from boo.


- Removed useless "Quit Job" link for company directors.

Shindig observed a link being available to quit their job despite being the director, believing this should not be the case. Chedburn noted this was good thinking on Shindig's part and confirmed its removal.


- Removed profile links from global events.

Harley noticed that clicking profile links on global events while logged out would result in an error page, which is due to profiles no longer being accessible while logged out. Chedburn confirmed this as resolved with all profile links removed.



Bugs, Fixes, and Typos


- Fixed issue which broke several countdown timers.

An issue which broke several timers, including those which are on Cashier's Checks and Investment Bank as reported by Kastor, has been resolved.


- Fixed 'Demoralized' effect appearing on defeating hits.

Proxima observed the weapon bonus "Demoralized" being assigned the finishing hit (trophy) icon in the attack log after having won an attack, which has since been resolved by aurel1.


- Fixed a chat racing condition which resulted in unintended restarts.

While the specifics of this issue aren't known for sure, this fix is presumably related to Baronv0ndude's report in which chat logs would be instantly wiped when opening up minimized chats. Presumably, this was resolved by vysdel2.


- Fixed issue with placement arrows on the Hall of Fame lists.

While viewing the Hall of Fame for working stats, Mensider observed the red / green arrows which indicate the player having moving up or down were pushed down, leaving one player on the list without one. This has since been confirmed as fixed by nikitad.


- Fixed 'is' / 'are' issues based on pluralisation for item description.

SinCitySinner observed an issue with pluralization in items information panels — for example, "The Shorts is a Clothing item" should be "The Shorts are a Clothing item". This has been resolved by Chedburn.


- Fixed missing SVG icons after latest Safari update.

An issue which caused missing SVG icons after a recent Safari update has been resolved by the developers.


- Fixed issue with federal jail ticket responses not immediately appearing as posted.

An issue has been resolved with federal jail reports where the user would not receive any kind of prompt when attempting to post a response. This would result in users believing their post had failed, and would continuously click "Post" — resulting in the report being flooded.


- Fixed issue with moving stocks on the Stock portfolio page.

LuksVTNC noticed that when moving stock blocks in their Portfolio while scrolled down, a blank space was displayed where the block should be. Instead, the block being moved would be shown further up the page. nikitad confirmed this has been resolved.


- Fixed flashing the "Are you sure" message box while buying/depositing on mobile 'full screen' mode.

Terronia observed the yes / no confirmation for depositing money to faction immediately disappearing while the keyboard is open while using desktop mode on a mobile device. nikitad has confirmed this has now been resolved.



Typos
- Fixed general grammar / typos.

1. Parallel noticed some irregularities with full territorial view panel text, with some adjustments being made by Chedburn.



Honor Bars



"Venezuela" — This default honor bar for the country of Venezuela has been added after a request from Fecro.


"Riddled" — This week's honor bar is achieved by defeating your opponent after hitting at least 10 different body parts in a single attack.
