Automated Multiplayer Updates/2025 May

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "fixed Penetrative Training; it should now correctly ADD a point of penetration ( Combat skill ) to summons, rather than OVERWRITE the penetration skill to 1."

Nuku smoothly says, "Parts should now not be stablized if you have a disabled, or don't have, a size stabilizer."

Nuku smoothly says, "Size Stabilizer no longer removes the relevant properties on being deactivated. It should work far better with the melted version. Rejoice!"

Nuku smoothly says, "Enabling a melted size stabalizer now properly sets your current sizes to be saved."

Nuku smoothly says, "Fixed some lingering bad code, allowing for shift commands to also properly know when your size stabilizer is turned off."

Nuku smoothly says, "+pj command for duties now also smashes the scene requirement for the given duty."

Nuku smoothly says, "Slight fix on the last to make sure it also removes any lost thresholds."

Nuku smoothly says, "Girthy now doubles mass, feel the chub."

Nuku smoothly says, "Girthy also slotted into lib/bodyparts. Should be good to go."

Impossible Dreamer says, "Ready backup group perk description updated to its new function! Bring your group members' mercs into the fight even when they're offline!"

Nuku smoothly says, "Fixed an error crashing power use. Not sure what that was affecting, but it sure was crashing."

Chinthliss says, "Fixed some power handling issues with very small or very large values. This shouldn't mean anything to most, it's just here in case it has side effects elsewhere."

Chinthliss says, "Fixed a bug in rpinfo where being show the selector (when there's more than one match) left a value on the stack, that caused a problem later (crashing on viewing nanomagic related items)"

Chinthliss says, "Fixed knockdown messages (stun, stagger and reeling) not displaying in combat. They were still happening, just the message wasn't playing to the right place."

Chinthliss says, "This shouldn't crash for wizards now."

This is a test of the Wizard update system. If this was an actual announcement, you would have something to be excited about.

Chinthliss says, "Wiki updated and should be functioning again. Some pages need content fixing because of changes to extensions/plugins."

Nuku smoothly says, "Fixed mercs not working."

The Wiki is all updated and caught up, but some aspects of the wiki (like the previously widely used character template) no longer function properly. We're looking for someone with experience in setting up MediaWiki based wikis. If that describes you, reach out to Screwbucket.

Nuku smoothly says, "Mercs taken through the ringer, and some group therapy. They've settled on new philosophies for life, and ready backup appears to be working."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Buying multiple items in the token store will no longer overcharge you for the privilege. ( It used to square the quantity in the calculation. It no longer does that. Silly token store. )"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Fixed a mistake in the child-generating function that made forms' assigned child species not work UNLESS the form is a template form. Notably, the forms that were affected by this were: Alpha Husky ( should make Female Huskies ), Parasitic Plant ( Should make Vinelings ) and Skunk Beast ( makes skunk girls )"

Corrected the Illusion Nanomagic info to refer to deceit rather than socializing. If you see any power descriptions that refer to proficiencies that do not exist, it's likely a hold over from before proficiencies were updated. Just let us know if you see it. I'll pat you on the head.

It's me by the way. I'm the problem. It's me.

McBucketface Screwbucket says, "....me."

Nuku smoothly says, "The silver tanuki leaf no longer affects the displayed sizes when the size command is used."

McBucketface Screwbucket says, "There is a new character template on the wiki! Please use :Template:Infobox/Character instead of the old :Template:Charpage template. It won't fill the whole page and I haven't worked out the CSS on it yet, but it's actually functional. If you want to help gussy it up, let me know."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Amorpheous body type removed from Kinks. Amorphous is still there and is the correct spelling. I checked."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Impregnation works again."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Tail ringlets desc updated to reflect the fact that the *old* nanolist command does not support #magic, while newnanolist does."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "We may port that back to the old program at some point."

McBucketface Screwbucket says, "As a friendly reminder: If a rental room expires due to non-payment of freecred, it will be yeeted into the void. That means that any room ATTACHED to it will either also be yeeted or, if someone else created it, could become orphaned and no longer accessible! Be careful when linking a room into someone else's rental room!"

McBucketface Screwbucket says, "PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: If a room you put down via a rental disappears for whatever reason, don't just make a new one. Contact staff. There's a chance it still exists and you are literally just making duplicate rooms. FML."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Clarification: If your room was created from *someone else's* rented room and that one disappeared, yours might still be present."

McBucketface Screwbucket says, "After hours of combing through a spreadsheet, I have a list of ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE rooms that are floating within the void as they have been left orphaned and disconnected from the grid; likely due to a room they were linked to expiring but not taking all attached rooms with them. While there are rooms dating from 2020 to 2025, I am primarily going to focus on reaching out to players who have been active as of this or last year. The following people need to get in touch with me if you want to preserve the description, looktraps, RP history, or anything else that might still be in the room! Cerl, Ebreus, Comet, Ankh, Rhau, Bursol, Yaprap, Elain, Lazuli, Midoris, Demura, Fex, Leilani, Lilim, and Alistair! All of these people have orphaned rooms that contain more than basic descriptions that might want to be preserved. If you know these people, let them know that while their rooms might have gone missing, their information can be recovered and sent to them prior to me YEETING them into the sun or working something else out."

McBucketface Screwbucket says, "And as a reminder! If a rental room vanishes, be sure to run +re #budget. If a room associated with that rental is still there, it is floating within the void! A member of staff can retrieve description information from it and/or yeet it into the void on request."

Nuku smoothly says, "Good news everyone! As a pacifist, when you search, you can now ask to keep going, but stop when you gain a level. No new commands, it'll just ask if that's what you want."

Nuku smoothly says, "Big change, every turn or so in combat, your patrol points are checked for regeneration. This includes your mercs."
