Multicrafting!

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

By popular demand, multicrafting of recipes is now in.

  • Enter a number in the handy field to perform the recipe that many times or bust.
  • Enter a * to perform the recipe as many times as possible.
  • Enter a ? to tell you how many times * would perform the recipe, if you’re curious. This won’t cost energy or items, but will tell you if you don’t have enough energy or items to perform the recipe.

Thanks to everyone who suggested this on the forum thread and elsewhere. Special thanks to Kingdom of Loathing for the ‘*’ and ‘?’ standard.

If you run into any problems with multicrafting feel free to drop me a bug report or in-game message.

Cheers!

Minor Updates and Fixes

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Just wanted to give a quick rundown of the updates over the last few days. Life was kind of busy over the weekend, but really got to crank some stuff out today.

The biggest change on my side that won’t affect people directly is another layer of potential customization with choices. Basically, it’ll be really streamlined for me to add options that only appear sometimes. Which, as you can imagine, allows for some cool stuff. Special thanks to Cryptodynamic and Man Mobile for helping work out some of the initial bugs with the change.

  • Players with a space in their user names should now be able to use the password reset form. Thanks for the bug report, Sir Cheddar.
  • The notification that you posted a gang message now won’t imply you put slashes everywhere. Thanks The Kitchen Sink.
  • Valera’s been poking around and helped me resolve some issues with trying to equip unequipple items and talk to contacts you don’t know. Thanks Valera!
  • Your credits listing on the left will now automatically update when you buy something from a store. Thanks for the note, RBK!
  • There is now a Rest More option at the bottom of the rest page. Thanks for the suggestion, Xkiv!
  • The chess book now only costs 1 Energy (down from 2).
  • Getting dunked in sewage now has a bit more effect than before.
  • And thanks for a bunch of typos fixes from The Kitchen Sink, PaidPiedPiperPal, Metro, and Lester.

That’s it for now. The Gang Warfare updates are coming along nicely. The main batch of content is done, but I still need to do some coding for the new hideout upgrades and new Techniques.

Cheers!

Scripting Updates

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Did a whole bunch of scripting and usability changes today.

  • First off, though, a bug fix. An encounter from the new sidequest had wandered off, showing up in the Slags instead. Thanks to Xkiv for the bug report. Anyone who received the skill from this encounter who wants to try out the new sidequest before their next reset, drop me a line, I can roll that back.
  • Multi-use (including Tear Multi and Sell Multi) are now inline options. Just type in the number and click the button (or hit enter, assuming the scripting works for everyone). Thanks to Metro for the suggestion.
  • On a related note, stolen crates can now be multi-used. You won’t get the blow by blow descriptions, but it’ll save a lot of clicks if you’ve been saving them up. Good suggestion from Twitch here.
  • The reset button in the combat screen shouldn’t force a page reload now, just clear out your chain. Thanks Xkiv for pointing out this one.
  • At the bottom of the techniques page, it’ll now give a total number of Techniques in that deck. Thanks to Yubi Shines for the suggestion.
  • And we’ve got some typos from Metro. Thanks Metro!

Cheers!
