How to Upgrade

Notification Improvements

  • Notifications have been overhauled (again) and now give more specific messages that are better tied to what you’ve actually viewed.
  • forum/scan has been redone so it shows just a summary of posts by board and not every single unread post.
  • forum/scan is now enabled in onconnect by default. See help onconnect to edit your connect commands if you don’t want to see this at login.
  • New command job/scan lets you see how many unread jobs you have. Job admins will probably want to add a job command to their aconnect, either jobs/mine, jobs/unread, or jobs/scan.

Please keep in mind that the notifications system is still evolving. You’re welcome to provide feedback on the Ares forums or discord.

Features

  • I finally caved and implemented the “dots” view for FS3 skills that everyone seems to prefer. Based on Glitch’s implementation for SpiritLake; some code donated by Glitch.
  • Improved locations directory. Areas now have summaries (editable via the portal) that show up on the main page, in addition to their longer descriptions.
  • You can now add RP hooks to the chargen welcome message. (suggested by Tat)

Fixes

  • Renaming background skills and adding specialties weren’t always getting through to the game in FS3 web chargen. (reported by Auspice)
  • Combat setup screen was working on PCs instead of NPCs. (reported by KarmaBum)
  • Emits from portal weren’t tagged by nospoof. (reported by Clockwork)
  • Learn command was using XP even if it failed due to an invalid skill name. (reported by Tat)
  • Specialties were not showing up on FS3 web sheet. (reported by Auspice)
  • You couldn’t clear a group via web chargen.
  • The web popup windows weren’t using the standard site background color. (reported by Auspice)
  • Creating an already-completed scene or changing location in a completed scene was giving an error. (reported by Tat and KittyKat)
  • Chargen messages weren’t getting cleared sometimes even after you fixed them and saved.
  • Ranks were case-sensitive about their faction names. (reported by KittyKat)
  • Joining a scene in the MU client didn’t add the scene to “My Scenes” on the web. (reported by Ren)

Little Things

  • Character scene lists now default to the ‘All’ tab. (compromise based on a forum discussion kicked off by a suggestion from Ren)
  • Plot pages now sort scenes by IC date order. (suggested by Blu)
