Automated Multiplayer Updates/2021 May

Wearer of THE HAT Inutt says, "Having the map view option in editplayer enabled should no longer hide the map of the overworld and tell you that you're trapped in a box with no way out."

Wearer of THE HAT Inutt says, "Added a couple of new options to editplayer for numerical units and lists."

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "Do you have builder nanites? Are you not a fan of combat? Are you still wanting some local color in your life? Good news, you may now use your nanites to do the work you don't like doing! Just type in nanite infection to gather some local color in nice easy to drink packages."

Wearer of THE HAT Inutt says, "The lift command has undergone a long-overdue delet... er, rework, so that it now makes a little more sense. It's just a guideline, but hopefully now it's more of a *useful* guideline. The mechanics have changed, and your lifting ability is now derived using a complex and sophisticated algorithm that uses your size, mass, strength, and the number of legs you have."

Wearer of THE HAT Inutt says, "Added some logging to rented room deletions to assist in debugging. If you have a rented room and it suddenly vanishes without you being offline for a long time, poke a staffer to take a look."

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "Wishing wells/fountains have been placed in Woodfield park's south edge, xanadu garden's grand fountain, and hare town's center, to use them type in toss <credit amount>. You can also type in toss #help to get details of how it works, and toss #effects to see what those buffs look like"

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "Now the effects from the wishing well should work properly."

Wearer of THE HAT Inutt says, "After poking their noses into a few things that they probably shouldn't have, Zephyr R&D have located the cause of things losing their unique smells and hopefully fixed the issue. If a quick sniff shows you don't smell like you should, please see your nearest representative to receive a voucher for a free coating of new Stink-O artificial scent replacement! (Custom scents set with +mako/smell should no longer vanish unexpectedly. Please get in touch if you previously bought a custom smell and it mysteriously vanished.)"

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "On new comments, the customer service web interface will color the names of the participants in the conversation."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "The nanite resistor mako toy has been told to stop being so lazy and actually put up some resistance, and will now prevent coyotes causing your mutation to change."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "The size stabilizer has been updated to stabilise body parts you don't have as well as the ones you do have. This should help with cases of unexpected genitals appearing when switching between male and female forms."

Dog Song says, "Fixed assorted typos and string parsing issues in the Ghost form."

Dog Song says, "Added Leg Splitter support to the Shibari Inu form. Fixed a string parsing error in the Shibari Inu ass transformation message."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "+roomequip now supports adding spare shelves to a room, and should produce fewer errors when handling other storage containers."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "+roomequip #list is now a thing, and should tell you what outpost equipment is installed in a room even if it doesn't show in the description or glance info. Note: It's only available for the room's (co-)owner, in case hiding the equipment is intentional."

Dog Song says, "Re-added the three barista NPCs to the Zephyr Coffee Lounge. Changed their shift schedules to be more consistent and clear than their previous iteration. Miura Mercedes now works during the morning and afternoon (8:00 -> 18:00), Louis Ledoyen now works during the night and morning (22:00 -> 12:00), and James Jorgen now works during the afternoon and evening (12:00 -> 22:00) and hangs around after-hours (22:00 -> 8:00) - all times server-time. Added a new under-the-counter blowjob scene to James Jorgen during his shift."

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "I believe that I've fixed the tf command for yotes."

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "You may now pet <someone's> belly to give them a nice bellyrub"

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "+size should now be consistent when looking at other people as well as when looking at yourself. The option to show your fluid production to others is now also available in editplayer."

Fun Police X-ray beep boops, "Extra Lethal now increases Sonic dots by 15%."

Just a Tinkering Critter squees, "Diseased was way too good with the kinds of debuffs it applied as well as it having significantly negligible downsides to offset its debuff potential. It has been slapped with a much-needed 20% decrease to all item status effects."

Just a Tinkering Critter squees, "Static and Frigid have been tweaked to better resemble each other considering their equal negative impacts on items, additionally both have had their innate debuffing statuses stripped because holy mother of god they were gushing negative binaries at next to no expense."

Just a Tinkering Critter squees, "For the sake of clarity, Static used to apply ChargeDebuff, this was stripped and its active Ally statuses were for some reason twice as powerful as intended, those were sliced in two. Frigid used to apply... get this... both ChargeDebuff and InstantCooldownDebuff. InstantCooldownDebuff is a powerful thing not to be taken lightly. Anyway, both have been stripped off of it. Frigid's Ally Actives were left untouched."

Just a Tinkering Critter squees, "Finally, Caustic has been given a small nudge upwards considering its penalty of 25% status duration, and 25% item upkeep penalty. Additionally, its debuff status was not removed, but replaced as HealGainDebuff makes no sense for acid in a logical sense. Instead, it will now have a mild armor-melting quality with a short-lived magnitude 2 DamageResistDebuff."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "Tanuki mechanics updated to work better with the new size code and people that insist on pushing the limits of size - dedicating yourself to the swollen testicled one will now double the size of your fluid producing body parts when calculating fluid yield instead of setting it to a fixed value, subject to a minimum cap of size 250."

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "The messages from Pet <person> belly Now actually show that you've gotten a bellyrub."

Dog Song says, "Fixed the Mutated Wolftaur form not displaying Kemonomimi transformation messages correctly due to malformed string parsing."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to some backend changes, the number of balls a form or player is shown as having will be incorrect while we process the updates."

Dog Song says, "Fixed a grievous error in a script update that set the "Balls" property of all forms with more than zero cocks to 2. The previous number of balls (or lack thereof) was restored to the correct value for each form. This is part of an ongoing effort to replace the old "Ball Count" property - which confusingly defaulted to the value 0 on forms with male parts for two balls total - with "Balls", which states the number of balls exactly like cocks, cunts, or clits do (balls:2 = you've got two balls). This also fixes saving genital configurations potentially adding balls to female characters (saving the absence of a property as ball count:0)."

Dog Song says, "All saved player size profiles have been updated to use the new and improved "Balls" property. A handful of corrupted size profiles were fixed in the process (ball size without balls, balls without ball size, duplicate properties, etc.) Further code updates pending."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "Testicular code updates should now be complete unless something's been missed. Please report any discrepancies between your actual and expected data."

Dog Song says, "The Dedication Sealer's description has been updated to clarify that players can receive dedication-linked badges on all characters on their account. To receive only a dedication-specific badge, dedicate for free at the desired dedication point as that character. To receive all account-sealed dedication badges, visit the Dedications page on the Flexible Survival website while logged in as that character."

Nuku drawls, "rpinfo nova meteor -- Redescribed for sanity and clarity."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "Upgrade Registration item updated to note that it can be used for creatuing new recipe modifiers too, not just power upgrades."

Dog Song says, "The Sexy Witch form now includes a local stat to toggle clothing on and off. See lstats Sexy Witch for details."

Dog Song says, "Fixed a typo in the Ghost groin transformation message."

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "I've turned off the muf profiling(not relevant for you except as a slight performance drag) and improved the performance of some very common account query stuff"

Dog Song says, "Fixed several typos in the M1A1H form."

Nuku drawls, "If you have a mako voucher, you will always get at least 1 mako a day out of it."

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "Underwear should be working once again, as should x-ray specs."

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "Now you may add wi #add !nc to signal that perhaps you only rp with consent. This does not affect encounters at this time(there's a perk for that)."

pretentious fox Hex~ smoothly says, "Credit to X-ray, since we appear to have attempted to fix it at the same time"

Dog Song says, "Added post-shift content to James Jorgen, the tiger barista in the Zephyr Coffee Lounge. You can now speak to him in more detail about how he got his infection, as well as offer oral sex under the table. You can visit him after his shift in the lounge from 10 PM to 8 AM."

Dog Song says, "Fixed a bug in Alice the Gun Bunny. When inspecting a weapon from the pre-crafted weapons menu, then selecting 'no', it will no longer send you back to the unique weapons menu instead."

Dog Song says, "Fixed a handful of typos in the pet command."

Just a Tinkering Critter squees, "Mirror Wave's description has too been given a more clarifying description for the sake of RP-related ease of use. No mechanical changes."

Fun Police X-ray beep boops, "Bugfix: Room co-owners are once again able to lock and unlock exits."

Dog Song says, "Fixed Jack's Hardware always showing the Binoculars and Nanite Power Brick as unknown recipes, even if your character has already learned them."

Dog Song says, "Added color chooser support to the Night Stalker form. Use color for full body skin colors and color2 for the eye color."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "Platinum Virility edges have been restored for all your cum drenching needs. Also, perks/edges that affect cum production now stack additively, not multiplicatively. (+50% and +50% now produce +100% instead of 125%)"

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "As the no-longer-quite-so-new size code matures, the long anticipated "I don't need to know how big that is to three decimal places" update has arrived! Descriptive units can now be chosen alongside metric and imperial via editplayer option 29 to banish all the numbers and use words instead. This new option is always used for stringparsing, so looking at someone should never show exact numbers anymore."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "Minor update: You can now have clitoriseses... clitori...? Clits, without also requiring a cunt."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "Descriptive units have been slightly rephrased to read better."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "Minor change to glance to handle drones and other non player entities better."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "Removed a single line of code that seems to have mysteriously snuck in from somewhere, which may mean quiet shifting via +qshift and other methods may actually work now."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "PSA: Staff are aware of the shift/tf brokenness everyone is currently experiencing and apologise for the inconvenience. The relevant code is being untangled and reorganised as a priority (see +adept for an early stage preview), but no ETA is currently available for a complete fix."

Dog Song says, "As part of general code cleanup, the genital count and size properties stored on infections have been converted from strings to integers. This reduces the space these properties take up and can make them very slightly faster to process in certain situations."

Dog Song says, "Fixed a typo in the ooc #help readout. Fixed the Male Gator defeat using a wrong passage of text for legless/not-legless players."

Farnsworth Impersonator Inutt says, "Good news everybody! The (still somewhat alpha-quality!) +adept command is now capable of adding and removing bodyparts, so I'm announcing it early due to the ongoing bugs with the shift and tf commands. Syntax is +adept add <number> <bodypart>, +adept remove <number> <bodypart>, and +adept adjust [my] <bodypart> to <number> to increase, decrease, and set to a specific number. Note that usual restrictions apply in terms of requiring form mastery, a nanite fine tuner, energy, permissions, commandable nanites (if changing someone else), etc, and this command is only functional for nanite adepts, not coyotes."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "+adept has gained the ability to resize bodyparts with +adept resize [my] <bodypart> to <size>. Usual restrictions apply, nanite adept only, still an alpha-quality command!."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "Additional explanatory notes added to +birthday #set (interactive version only) to hopefully better explain the valid range of dates."

Dog Song says, "The Random Cudgel power has been streamlined. The charge and cooldown times have been changed to match the way damage varies. Its charge was changed from either 200,400,600,800 to any value from 200-800 and cooldown from either 2000,2500,3000,3500,4000 to any value from 2000-4000. The debuff component was also changed. Its magnitudes were reduced by 15->10 and it no longer apply guaranteed binaries 1/3 of the time. However, the statuses are no longer randomized between stringparsing. There is now an individual 25% chance to apply either Knockdown, AccuracyDebuff, DamageBuffDebuff, or DefenseDebuff, and chance for each can be increased through power upgrades as normal. Happy cudgeling!"

Nuku drawls, "Thanks to Hinoserm, vouchers should resume functioning now, yay!"

Nuku drawls, "By the way, if your voucher didn't give the mako it should have, do pop a request so we can fix that."

Divided By Hinoserm quietly yips, "Some network connectivity and quality problems should now be resolved, though our upstream provider is still dealing with unprecedented load that may cause intermittant slow-downs from time to time."

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "Dedicants of Quetzalcoatl will no longer receive the size boost intended only for those of Kaiju. Seems I misinterpreted that part of the old size code when working on the new version :-("

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "+adept resize me to <number> is now available for changing your overall body size. Reminder: This is an alpha-quality command so expect bugs, and this functionality is especially experimental."

Dog Song says, "Flame Warden's Overcharge power has been slightly buffed. It now also grants 1 round of 5 mag PowerAmpHeat."

Dog Song says, "The Animal Therapy building in New Dawn now features a brand new pet: a ferret! Drop by today to obtain one of these furred tubes on legs for yourself. Dook!"

.-=o=-. Inutt says, "An experimental change to how talkscript is processed has been implemented. This shouldn't have any effect on players, but mentioning it here in case of bugs."

Nuku drawls, "You can no longer spam volunteer for extra rewards."

Dog Song says, "Removed a glitch form that existed briefly due to a typo. "Grapploid" was misspelled as "Graploid" when fixing the Balls property from 2->0. This is now set correctly."

Nuku drawls, "Spamming social actions is no longer profitable."

Just a Tinkering Critter squees, "Push The Limit cooldown increased by 50%, it was a bit too good and too easily brought back within reach to be considered balanced."

Nuku drawls, "New web mission approved! Thanks for submitting them!"

Nuku drawls, "All web missions are now approved or kicked back for revisions."

Nuku drawls, "Bug fixed in task command. Reminder, you can use task in patrol places to do missions, earn badges and cash and stuff!"

Nuku drawls, "If you are more than 5 levels up-mentored, you will not gain experience for the effort. You are more than welcome to lend a hand if that is the desire, but to gain xp you have to be facing something closer to your own size. Down mentoring is unaffected at this time."

Dog Song says, "The Taunting Strikes combat skill description has been updated to be crystal-clear that it does not include toggled powers (such as hostile auras)."

Nuku drawls, "Fixed a crasher that may have made things odd at the end of fights."

Nuku drawls, "If you own a given supernatural dedication, you don't need a nanite sealer! Just dedicate in the proper room and it will offer to seal the deal. Do this on the alt that HAS the dedication. Then you can do it on future alts for free. It costs 50 mako to seal a dedication for use forever with all alts."

Nuku drawls, "Alright! Now Source of Life increases the odds of a twin or triplet. This will work on moms giving birth or dads with feral mommas."

Dog Song says, "The Source of Life perk's rpinfo description has been updated to reflect the changes."

Dog Song says, "Added even more clarifying into to Source of Life's rpinfo description."

Dog Song says, "A new creature now resides in the Crystal Gardens: the Cabbotchon."

Nuku drawls, "Patched a bug I made in birthing, oops."

Nuku drawls, "list perks should always say how many points you have left."

Nuku drawls, "You can now set nicknames that appear beside your name in the contents of a room. @set me=nick:Whatever -- We suggest keeping it short, or things will look odd."

Nuku drawls, "Newly made cum vials now come with the mouthfilled status! Enjoy!"

Dog Song says, "Added a helpfile for setting nicknames."

Nuku drawls, "Added (x)filled to the status help file."

Nuku drawls, "Mercenaries now show a specific message when they arrive. And you can edit it! @set me=Mercenary Arrival:Timmyjoe parachutes in from above!"

Nuku drawls, "This is done as a spoof, not an emote, so you probably want your name in there somewhere."

Dog Song says, "The Combat/Mercenary helpfile has been updated with info on how to set a custom mercenary arrival message."

Just a Tinkering Critter squees, "Milk Tank is now accessible through the Milk Research Lab at the Farm, the same place where one might find the Milk Maiden dedication point and class sales...thing. There's one or two short quests to do and the class is priced at half of Milk Maiden's value in the same store. I hope you like the result. It was fun making it. :)"

Just a Tinkering Critter squees, "Rollout's cooldown jacked up much higher due to growing concerns that it might be how you say... le broken."

Dog Song says, "The Rollout power now scales with the Brawling combat proficiency."

Dog Song says, "Changed Waldo into a red-and-white-striped zebra male. The message when finding him has also been slightly adjusted."

Nuku drawls, "Mutagenic, the flaw, should be live. Warning, it may give you new and interesting forms, so hey perk!"

Nuku drawls, "Sucking tempered down in effect"

Dog Song says, "Updated the Mutagenic flaw's rpinfo description with more detail about its effects."

Nuku drawls, "Fixed a critical bug in buying from consignment store that can send items hurtling into the void."

Nuku drawls, "Social Actions should no longer give out invalidly tagged infection vials at times, oops."
