KMB has been given a cyberware nullification field system. Passing through this scanner will disable all cyber-weapons.
There may be ways around it, but none of you law-abiding citizens would ever break the law.
Wasn't procing at all, and nor wore the cures. Now both are operating as expected, which may result in some significantly delayed radiation sickness.
I changed radiation cures / refactored the code. Before they were sort of overcomplicated, now radiation cures (and other DOT cures / additives) act like ablative armor that reduce in efficacy over time and will absorb damage done by DOTs as they tick over.
It's a more elegant solution.
There was a bunch of stacked radiation that all got executed at the same time. A few characters died. We're working with them to make sure they are not negatively impacted by this since. These characters can RP the death if they want, or ignore it or treat it like they just got food poisoning if they prefer. We'll make sure they get their shit back in one way or another. Thanks everyone for rolling with the punches and not scratching the walls if there is weirdness in RP as a result.

Sometimes when picking up a paydirt item, it would despawn immediately and ask you to report it as a @bug. It wasn't a bug, it was just despawning because it was already expired. This has been fixed and it now handles this appropriately.
Delivery NPCs for furniture were setting the install property incorrectly when installing furniture, making it throw TBs when anyone tried uninstalling it. It's been fixed to assign the data correctly.
Fill targets for cans/siphons and fuel pumps now check that you aren't trying to fill them with themselves.
CYBERWARE EXPOSE
Cyberware now exposes properly when using the 'expose' command. I believe biomods do as well now from my limited testing set.
There was a bug where usernames with periods could not have gridmail sent to them. I have blocked new account creation on the Grid for usernames with periods. You'll now get an error if you try. If you have one of these accounts, you can put a service request in for SENIOR and include the grid account and I'll remove the period (if that username is available).
DOTs now clear when a player is cloned or dies. No more radiation passing on to future clones.
Now prefix the @naked for their area, and that area can now be edited with the use of @naked.
When motorcycles fail to run a blockade and hit the blockading vehicle, the impact will now cause the riders to go airborne.
Before when a vehicle took damage to some parts, it would deal as much damage as possible to those parts with the parameters given, but if the damage exceeded the health of the parts damaged, the remaining of that damage would be discarded. I've rebuilt the vehicle damage function to now have "overflow damage", where it looks at the parts shielding the parts that were damage and cascades damage upwards as well as downwards that hierarchy to make sure everything gets fucked up.
Additionally, damage was served on a first come first serve basis, and now it tries to spread the damage around initially before overflow of all the parts that were going to be damaged originally.
It is no longer possible to requisition cyberware or robot parts. The terminals don't support this at this time and fulfilling these orders breaks the game.
Search tools used by Admin such as @ts, @rs, etc now support a new flag to output rows in Comma Separated Value format (CSV). Use -csv in coordination with -vmoo and you'll get it in a handy format useful for getting things into a spreadsheet better than the traditional output.
There was a problem with our random function not supporting floating math random number generation between two floating points. I've fixed this, and it should fix vehicle crashes, where I do arbitrarily more complex math than anywhere else in the game for no discernible advantage.
RECEIVE ATTACK MSG FIXED
If you've ever been annoyed by 'recieve' being spelled wrong in the following message: "%VN's eyes widen as %vs drops into a fighting stance to recieve your attack." rejoice, it is now fixed to be 'receive'.
Power armor has been added to the game. This is a bit different than your usual armor. A power armor frame is purchased and armor parts are installed onto it. A power source is also needed.
These suits do mechanically assist their wearer, and they are not new technology. They are however exceedingly rare (and at the moment, available for purchase).
Caveat emptor, there are a number of drawbacks to power armor that you'll have to find out in game. Enjoy, folx.
I know some of us have experienced a case where grappling where suddenly everything is broken, we can't do anything, and we can't release a grapple even as someone is across the city.
I've made a fix that will attempt to address this extreme edge case, and hopefully that bug shall now be dead, though new odd behavior may now show up, it will hopefully be less worse than being blocked from being able to do anything on the game until staff intervenes.
It is now possible to repair your armor, and this is done via the munitions workbench. Repairing armor takes scrap, and the rest you'll have to find out on your own! Good luck, all.
Cyberarms now slightly buff hand to hand damage because getting punched with a metal fist hurts.
Dermalweave's armor bonus no longer applies if the limb is missing or has been replaced with a mechanical version.
Touching a cyberware on the price chart that has an external appearance now shows a preview of what that cyberware would look like.
The old system for modular slots in cyberware (IE ear/eye chips) has been rebuilt from the ground up. It is now a general system so it can be expanded to other cyberware, and the old copy/pasted code has been removed.
This should, at the moment, have no outward facing consequences for players.
Pricecharts for cyberware now also include information about their modular slots, and the types of those slots.
EMPs now non-temporary damage to cyberware, in addition to their normal damage which has also been buffed.
EMPs now deal non-temporary damage to cyberware, in addition to their normal damage which has also been buffed.
As the title says, your tiny extremities have been added.
PDS FIXED
For right arms, as they accidentally had too much PDS.
When we upgraded radios, we inadvertently left the old 'radio comms' in vehicle radio for sale. If you've purchased one of these, we've swapped it out with a 'ground comms' unit instead and you can no longer purchase the old 'radio comms'.
Four new pieces of cyberware have been added to the game. You can find them on the priceboards where they're featured. Enjoy folx!

Performances now give you some internal monologue to let you know how you're doing. This can help when there isn't a crowd that lets you know how much you suck.
This is a lot more unreliable than crowds. For hilarity.
The timing for crowd heckles has been doubled so it isn't as frequent, and adjusted it so it doesn't play repeat messages.
The timer was way too low and buffs were expiring as soon as they were added. This has been fixed.
Recoded this up from scratch as it was clunky and I didn't like it. Crowds now are tied to a location and have a memory. Following up after a bad act will get crowds to boo at you too, now. In addition, warm up acts do the opposite.
Crowds now react to all performers in a room instead of just one person.
The messaging interval behavior has also been changed and you'll see a message from the crowd every three minutes or so even if it's the same message.
Stats now shows a status line when you've recently seen an inspirational performance.
EMPs now in addition to the previous change will now also have a chance of causing ware malfunctions by force.
Hotwiring kits now have charges so they can be used multiple times before being tossed.
While this has always been available in character as an unscripted item, we've gone ahead and added a new nanogenic that automates the process of changing your character's sex and this is available now.
Enjoy, folx.
Get your violence on.
SHFL TRAPPED FIX
Added recovery code to the game ending hooks of SHFL that were causing people to be stuck out of body. The race condition still happens, but the code is smart enough to rescue players now.
SHFL DISFUNC FIX
There were problems when you disconnected from the MOO while in a SHFL game, and these have been fixed. You will now be ejected from the game if you disconnect from the MOO.
There was a bug on standing that could cause a TB, no idea if this was visible to players but it's fixed.
SHFL SIC REMOVED
Rooms changed to not have SIC.
The admin facing page for accessing grid accounts was still stuck in Grid 2.0. I've updated it so all the NPC accounts populate correctly making admin lives easier.
My damage code for cyberware wasn't working correctly, and I've rewritten it for the third and final time.
You may notice your cyberware stop working from damage and require repairs now. Thanks EMP code for showing my this was a bug.
Cyberware damage no longer applies on just blunt critical hits. Instead, cyberware damage has a chance to proc on *any* critical hit, and the chance of this damage happening has been increased across the board.
The drome has been fixed to have crowded reacts on performances there. doop.
Is now a feature that you can read about help protect. It is now possible to protect other characters from harm.
Shots from another room when attempting to snipe now have a chance of hitting a bodyguard, or someone you're grappling/detaining.
When dying while riding your motorbike, the state is successfully cleared for the motorbike to prevent putting bike and player in a bad state.
Some places have a 'universal edge' which functions as such: jump off edge
These edges didn't support grappling hooks. I've fixed that oversight from 2008 and made it possible.
You can now 'secure hook to edge' in a room with 'numerous places to jump from' and also 'unsecure hook from edge' and also 'descend from edge'.
Happy hanging from hooks!
A new line of ponchos has been added to the game. These come with some special functionality, and increase the total number of ponchos available in the game.
Enjoy.
Digital ponchos have had their color tables updated to be a color set that makes more sense.
You can now only ask for 2 crates at a time before being told you already have crates and to go deliver them. This applies to all crate places.
There was a bug skewing canvas ability and it has been fixed. Canvases will start appearing again.
Robots had version 3 of my symmetrical naked message code, which let them properly squash messages together procedurally, and cyberware was still on version 2. I copied over version 3 to cyberware, meaning these messages will be less confusing for players.
Previously, for example, %hand would replace to "left and right arm" for people with two cyberarms. Now it has support for, and has been adjusted to properly replace %hand with "left and right hand", which makes far more sense.
I have fixed a task running out of ticks issue with dog examine. Should be working fine now.
The ground entrance has been opened. It was locked previously while we built it out and then we didn't change the exit to be passable. All set now.
You can now glance at a persons bodyparts, and it will show the naked, if it is uncovered.
Ex. glance Joe's leye
'help glance' for more info.
I've updated the crate rate limiting so that folx in the city completing deliveries are less affected by the rate limiting.
I appreciate the suggestions for this being stateful, but that requires a rewrite of the system which is not something that is high on the priority list, so hopefully this fix suffices for 95-99% of situations.
