Upgrade Notes

How to Upgrade this version requires a game restart

FYI - The website deploy will take longer than usual this time due to some NPM library updates. Don’t be alarmed if it takes 10 min or so before you see the ‘upgrade finished’.

Scene Pacing

You can now set a ‘pacing’ for your scene. If you wish to add extra detail about your scene's pacing, you can still use the scene notes field.

  • Traditional: Live, synchronous RP with poses coming minutes apart. (Default Setting)
  • Distracted: RP that is still synchronous, but with longer time between poses due to work or other distractions.
  • Asynchronous: RP with poses coming in at various times, possibly in different timezones or schedules, or even over multiple days.

Features

  • The ‘Players’ page now distinguishes between AresCentral registered handles and local player tags.
  • The where command has been overhauled to better show who’s in what scenes (even if they’re offline) and where people are (on grid or in temp rooms).
  • The wiki character list now only shows active PCs by default, with an option to show everyone. (suggested by Blu)
  • Scene owners can delete scenes that have only system messages. (should make it easier to get rid of lingering scenes that never took off).
  • Admins can no longer delete scenes, though they can still un-share them. This prevents accidental deletion through typos in scene/delete, or deletion of a scene somebody wanted to download and save.
  • Scenes lists on a plot page are now sorted by IC date not OOC date. (suggested by a few folks)
  • Unshared scene deletion warnings now come as notifications not mails. (suggested by Blu and Tat)
  • scene/invite and addchar now accept lists of names. (suggested by MordenkainensMom)
  • When using the traits plugin, you can now customize the instructions text in the web portal. Note: This requires you to update the plugin, which is separate from updating the game.

Fixes

  • Achievement notices weren’t being marked read when you looked at your profile page. (reported by Altair)
  • Games will no longer suffer extreme lag if the AresCentral server is completely down.
  • Posing into a scene now correctly updates your edit privileges. (reported by Roadspike)
  • Findsite for web portal people was showing the game’s host not the player’s host. (reported by Clockwork)
  • Viewing the web profile of a character who’d never logged in as an admin was causing an error. (reported by KarmaBum)
  • A blank tab would show up in the player gallery if someone had a blank faction/group set. (reported by Cobalt)
  • Damage/modify wasn’t updating the IC date. (reported by Hexe)
