Bug Fixes

Written by: Charune, the Horned One
Date: Wednesday, February 4th, 2009
Addressed to: Everyone


o A few abilities were overlooked when racial balance and equilibrium
bonuses and penalties were reduced. As a result, the effects given by
shrine celerity, swiftstripes, lightningstripes, and taintedlove have
been reduced to their proper equivalents.

o Gods are now able to properly grant the Warlord power to order members
to let them declare order wars on behalf of the god.

o Splendour is now also usable as a keyword along with Splendor for the
TAILORING verb.

o You can add an optional g or s to the end of REPORT LIST
<skillsetname/guildname> to differentiate between skillset and guild in
the case of the monk guilds.

o Liveforest will not affect players who are out of phase or in similar
conditions.

o Colourburst, Colourspray, and Colourmaelstrom (Glamours) will not
cause afflictions after death if you die to it.

o You can no longer dismiss a beast while still mounted on it.

o The "unleash" verb for mages and druids' transcendent ability will
keep looking for the right staff if you have more than one.

o Fixed a bug where throwing objects like snowballs would not release
your hands from wielding things.

o Fixed a bug where things thrown would seem to come from the wrong
direction.

o Tumbles and other delayed moves are now stopped by being put into
suspended animation, liquid form, etc.

o MAP will correctly reflect tapestries, illusory walls, and bubble
pipes.

o Perfect Fifth will prevent escape using Shadowdance Flight, Music
Majorsixth, and Nature Flow.

o Phantasms Phantomsphere should cure only outside the caster's demesne
now.

o You can no longer use domination skills to affect SETALIAS aliases and
SETTARGET variables.

o When you try to influence fae, Dandelion's puffs won't get in the way.

o Dreambodies can use the QWHO and BWHO verbs.

o Crowform won't cost mana, willpower, or power if used while it's
already up.

o Demigods should gain grace when they phoenix as they would coming back
other ways.

o Those disguised as statues or trees can no longer gain experience if
grouped with others who are bashing.

o You can no longer headslam people while crucified or impaled on
antlers.

o You can now ASK <tutor> ASCENDANCE and get an accurate response.

o Fixed another problem with fizzling paintings.

o Champion Rescue should correctly honor elevations.

o Mere mortals can no longer (temporarily) ascend to the havens.

o ISSUES will show an error message instead of a blank prompt if you
have no pending issues.

o Fixed a large number of grammar, spelling, and diction errors.

o Arts Sketches have been revamped in several ways that should fix many
of the problems where statues, paintings, and figurines made from
sketches would not get correct descriptions. As a result:

----o The syntax to paint from sketches is now PAINT FROM SKETCH
<sketch>.

----o The syntax to sculpt from sketches is now SCULPT STATUE|FIGURINE
OF SKETCH <sketch>.

----o If you need multiple sketches, they must be identical. Sketches of
different-colored inferno beetles, or of Nejii in different genders,
won't work.

----o Sketches will now decay even in stockrooms, if they don't have
Master
Sketch Seals.

----o Paintings, statues, and figurines made from sketches with Master
Sketch Seals will now last 50% longer.

----o Using old sketches should now correctly show the subject as they
were when the sketch was made, not as the subject is at the time the
artwork is made.

----o Art made from sketches should never come up with a generic
description anymore.

Enjoy!
