Beta 30
Pre-release
Pre-release
Restart Suggested: You can get by without a game restart, but you won’t get several of the bug fixes until you restart the game engine.
Features
- Added a ‘pause scrolling’ button to the web client. (Suggested by Farfalla)
- Added a ‘jump to end’ button to the web “live scene” screen. (Suggested by Roadspike)
- Added a new command (help ascii) so SimpleMU users can downgrade to ASCII-only and not get gibberish when someone uses smart quotes or other non-ascii characters. You can also enable this in your AresCentral preferences so it carries over to all Ares games. (Suggested byTat)
- All groups are now available in the chargen welcome bbpost, not just position. (Suggested by skew)
Fixes
- Fixed multiple results error when your name starts with the same name as an exit. (Reported by Ria & skew)
- Wiki scene list wasn’t showing participants correctly. (Reported by Tat)
- Web portal poses starting with apostrophe were treated as says, not emits. (Reported by Roadspike)
- Fixed issue with the install script on latest version of redis.
- Migrate shouldn’t run any migrations lower than your starting version. (affects new installs only)
- hooks/set doesn’t clear hooks as it should. (Reported by skew)
- hooks gives an error for a brand new character. (Reported by skew)
- New player arrival message isn’t posting. (Reported by skew)
- The \ shortcut for emits lets you emit to a channel, but shouldn’t. (Reported by Tat)
- Fixed error with nightly game update to AresCentral.
Little Things
- Character profile now shows the nickname if that feature’s enabled. (Suggested by skew)
- combat/log now shows entries in reverse order. (Suggested by Tat)
FFG Plugin
A few bugfixes to the FFG plugin. To update, see Updating Plugins.
- Chars can no longer add/remove specializations once they’ve started adding skills or talents, since it messes up the XP costs. (Reported by skew)
- Couldn’t remove your only talent.
- Universal specializations weren’t being recognized properly.
