Week’s Updates

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Lots of updates this week. I’ve been puttering around fixing stuff and haven’t gone back to actually post the list, so I apologize if I missed anything.

  • Made some sneaky improvements to the riot quest. Good suggestions, Llamaman and Plus4.
  • Lo should now respond to Dr. Amundsen’s death properly. Good catch, Soulmech.
  • Hitting Enter will search the Mall properly now in Internet Explorer. Thanks for the bug report, Polygon.
  • The Ghost Ship should now show up in Completed Quests. Good call, Llamaman.
  • Fixed some weirdness with Mikhail acting as questgiver if you let Lo die. Good catches, Happy Yeti and Factitious.
  • Targeting a hacking defense twice won’t make the targeting arrow go away anymore. Thanks Wyrd!
  • Entering hacking from an encounter will now work properly if you only have 1 energy left. Good eyes, Happy Yeti.
  • Corrected an issue with Time Bomb not entirely destroying defenses. Thanks JTN2002!
  • I broke Kingly Favor and Ghoultouched with code for the new donation item. Thanks to xKiv, Bonbon, and Borkman for helping me track these down.
  • Also corrected a whole load of typos thanks to Mag, plus4, Wyrd, PaidPiedPiperPal, Blarghgh, Jick, and Thrillhouse.

Also, bats.

Cheers!

Bug Fixes

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

It occurs to me it’s been a bit since I posted the bug fixes. Here’s what we’ve got:

  • Fixed a pair of bugs that were allowing descriptions to leak out early. Thanks Al and Cryptodynamic!
  • In the process of fixing that, broke the description system in several novel ways (my favorite being that you couldn’t see your shirt’s description.) Thanks for the bug reports Cristiona, Edwahd, Nyther, Lord Finisher, Blarghgh, and PaidPiedPiperPal.
  • Added some spaces where they were desperately needed. Good call, Ricket.
  • Resolved an issue where the Energy on certain special fights was being charged up front. Good eyes, Lord Finisher.
  • Continuing the theme, broke noncombats while I was in there. Thanks for the bug report, vandamien.
  • Corrected an issue where you could lock yourself out of Mikhail’s reward for the Docks quest if Lo leaves before you take it. Good catch, xKiv!
  • Also fixed an issue where certain hacking sites were giving away Christmas presents. In October! I know, it’s crazy :) Thanks, slyspawn!
  • Thanks to RazielSonofKain and especially Mag for hunting down some typos for me.

Status on what I’m working on is: done with the crafting stuff I was dragging on (about five dozen items, some new buffs/techniques, and a bunch of skills). Next is dialogue for that branch, followed by a break working on other stuff you’ll see sooner to clear my head.

Cheers!

This Week’s Updates

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

A fair amount of updates this week. Mostly today, really. I spent most of the week taking a leg of the Survivors’ Quest from “straightforward” to “wee options!”

Two things from the “accidental petition” mailbag:

  • Hawk and Dr. Thomas now have explicit responses to you bailing on their deal and trying to free your friends directly.
  • There’s now a link to clear all of your hacking targets, if you’re so inclined. I take no responsibility if you regret clicking it later.

A bunch of bug fixes:

  • Corrected some issues with adding new hacking targets to the list. Thanks Argeth and Al for your help sorting through this one.
  • Fixed a craaaaaaazy bug where end of round damage could take out an entire group of enemies when paired with an earlier area of effect attack. Thanks to Mag for his spading and patience while I figured this one out. It was quite the doozy.
  • The character pane should now refresh after encounters that cost no energy (reflecting new locations, effect changes, attribute increases, and the like). Good catch, PaidPiedPiperPal.
  • Hacking encounters shouldn’t give ironic SQL errors when you defeat the defenders. Thanks, Argeth and RazielSonofKain!

Let’s see… SDnanos are now salvagable with interesting results. Thanks, Llamaman.

Also corrected some typos courtesy of RikiTikiTavi, Mag, Caradal, Thrillhouse, Blarghgh, and Al. <3 Cheers! Kinak

Post GenCon Wrap-Up

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

So, between my long weekend and the beginning of this week I fixed a ton of bugs and typos. I apologize in advance if I miss something in the list, but it’s the most thorough accounting I have.

  • Fixed a bunch of early bugs within hacking. Thank you Rykar, Thrillhouse, Zelandoni, Nyther, Jick, Man Mobile, Blarghgh, and NX_Phoenix.
  • Folks shouldn’t be getting blank spaces in hacking tools anymore. Thanks to Mag and Man Mobile for reporting this one.
  • The special decompilers should work. Thank you RazielSonOfKain.
  • You can no longer get stuck on the second floor of the Slags tower. Thanks for the bug report, Llamaman.
  • Switching for a lower processor computer shouldn’t confuse the installation requirements screen anymore. Good catch, Harrakan!
  • The A student no longer decides he needs more Eclipse every time you talk about art. Thanks llamaman!
  • Made another stab at fixing Petrol Splash. Thanks Valera and JTN2002 for the testing!
  • Added some new dialogue options for Lo. Good call Serenity.
  • Dual Armored Vest is now function, thanks to RazielSonOfKain.
  • Fixed the grammar for equipping and unequipping items that start with ‘the.’ Thanks Shademaster00 and Rykar.
  • Added Data and Programs to the mall. Thanks Rykar!
  • Thanks to Cryptodynamic for doublechecking I’m not giving you those trashy drone hounds when you’re supposed to get lean, mean twisted hounds :)
  • Your X-Ray vision, although potent, no longer allows you to see Professor Evans through his door. Thanks Wyrd!
  • As it turns out, vats of acid are not filled with little dolls and dried fish are not made out of tarnished coins. Who knew? Besides Shademaster00 and Cryptodynamic, that is?
  • Also fixed a load of typos courtesy of Artie Effham, Edwahd, Sir Cheddar, Rykar, Thrillhouse, jetalynn, dfmchfhf, Mag, Zelandoni, Man Mobile, Jick, Wyrd, Borkman, and RazielSonOfKain. Thanks everyone!

Cheers!
