Beta 41
Pre-release
Pre-release
Noteworthy
- This patch includes several changes to the way unread jobs/forums/scenes were tracked to improve efficiency and reduce lag.
Be sure to run the
migrate
command in-game or thebin/migrate
script in the server shell after you upgrade the code. This will transition everyone’s previously-read job and forum “read” flags to the new system.
- I decided that the jumbotron change was a bad idea and changed it back to a regular image. You may need to adjust your CSS back again.
Features
- Several efficiency changes to the way chat and live scenes were implemented on the portal should reduce lag during big scenes.
- You can now configure the size of the channel recall buffer. (See channel config)
- You can now do scene/start here=private to start a private scene using the location/desc of your current room. (Suggested by Tat)
- The web portal will now nag you to log out/back in if your login expires soon, so you don’t lose poses due to sudden token expiry. (Inspired by reports of lost poses from Roadspike, Blu and Tat).
- New job/query command (and web equivalent) to submit a request on behalf of someone. (Suggested by Tat/Skew)
- When a scene is shared, unshared and restarted, the old poses were rolled into a single big pose. This pose now is more clearly labeled as special and can’t be deleted.
- Multi-line poses in a place are now tagged with the same place prefix so you can spawn them correctly.
Fixes
- Fixed shortdesc/edit. (Reported by skew)
- Forum preference error when using idle/destroy. (Reported by Tat)
- Don’t cut off the login MOTD if it doesn’t fit on one line. (Reported by Tat)
- Place start and end markers weren’t being used. (Reported by Tat)
- Weird wrapping issue when there were too many tabs in the web character gallery.
- Fixed empty non-functional tab on web character gallery if someone didn’t have their primary group set.
- Improved efficiency of the Recent Changes list, which was causing undue lag. (Reported by Tat)
- Remove a participant from a scene if they’ve been deleted, to avoid breaking the scene page. (Reported by Tat)
- Jobs list is too wide for standard 78-width terminals. (Reported by Rucket)
- Admins can’t access role-restricted channels. (Reported by Rucket)
Little Things
- Events stick around for a little bit after their start time. (Suggested by Tat)
- Sorted action and language skill lists.
- Add a warning when setting someone to the idle ‘destroy’ action. (Suggested by Tat)
