Upgrade Notes

This version requires a game restart. See How to Upgrade.

Changes

  • The config editor now checks that settings are actually sensible. You may find it warning you about existing settings, so it may help to do config/check after you upgrade and then clean up any warnings so it stops nagging you.
  • Various improvements/fixes made to the site ban features to discourage persistent trolls. Notably:
    • Admins can bypass all bans (so you never accidentally lock yourself out).
    • Guests and roster claims are now checked for bans.
    • Approved chars can still connect with a proxy site/VPN even if proxies are blacklisted.
    • A new ‘ban’ command to newpassword/ban someone and all their alts.
  • Filter jobs by status. (suggested by Monkey)
  • You can require apps for all rosters with a single config setting, instead of having to set it manually on each new roster char.
  • There’s now a better workflow for roster chars requiring an application. You can set a template for apps in the config options, and either roster/claim or the web claim screen lets them enter their app text and create a staff job.
  • The combat ‘distract’ action now works differently. If successful, it forces the target to ‘pass’, effectively losing a turn.
  • Ares can now integrate with Discord, inspired by Rhost and some code shared by minty_cream. This feature is still experimental. It's a pain to set up (due to Discord’s interface), and requires a special app installed on your server. Full instructions here.

Fixes

  • The web portal FS3 xp costs page wasn’t showing advantages. (reported by Clockwork)
  • Exit locks weren’t taking multi-word role names. (reported by Tat)
  • Editing an old scene pose was clearing your current pose. (reported by Ren)
  • Listing a target twice for fullauto/explode would hit them twice. (reported by Roadspike)
  • Poses including a pipe (|) weren’t updating live in the portal. (reported by Coleface)
  • There’s now a config option to limit how many days’ worth of related scenes show up, to reduce lag. (reported by Tat)
  • Achievement/add and remove now handle multi-word names more sensibly. (reported by Blu)
  • Age was still showing up on the in-game profile even when birthdate was removed from demographics. (reported by Ren)

Little Things

  • Moved the new channel/conversation buttons on the chat screen to be more prominent. (suggested by Loki)
  • Visits from the web portal now update “last online”. (suggested by skew)
  • Forums give a better indication if you can’t read them.
  • You can no longer shoot yourself in the foot by upgrading while OS updates are pending.
  • The limited participation notice was sometimes showing up when it wasn’t supposed to. (reported by Blu)
  • Channel and page reporting now accept just a starting message rather than a specific message list, to prevent selective misrepresentation.

Extras

Note: Upgrades are not upgraded with the game code. See upgrading extras.

  • Traits: Web portal profile was giving an error if traits weren’t set. (reported by Astra)
