Fixed an issue with the Ebola-Nox auto-injectors that was generating tracebacks upon use. They should now be able to be injected, report any further issues via @bug and xhelp.
Fixed the discord bridge, will continue to keep an eye on this and make it more resistant to issues.
You can no longer eject people from the back of vehicles that are currently being grappled. This prevents a weird grapple invisibility / duplicate bug.
You must now have the app installed to see incoming or outgoing transfers. I tested this as best I could, but if anyone notices issues, or the transfers not showing up please @bug it and I'll look into it.
You could interact (secure, ascend, descend, unsecure) hooks without breaking stealth. I've implemented changes across all the verbs so that interacting with grappling hooks breaks stealth.
The microphone is a child of musical instrument which implements code to let you 'wear' it (think guitar over the shoulder). However, a mic is just a mic and you can't wear it. It wasn't designed to be worn. I've overwritten the wear verb to state you should just hold it.
Glance no longer works when you are wearing thermos or have active thermo cyberware.
There are posting boards in the game where characters can leave notes. These let you set the author name, but for the past 25 years, if you set anything other than your character name, you wouldn't be able to delete your note because deleting a note required the author name to match your character name. I've switched this over to character number, so it will work as people expect moving forward.
This will NOT work for any notes already placed on these note boards. Those are now locked in.
There was a bit of a race condition in terms of NPCs holding weapons where sometimes they would hold a weapon, sheath it, and hold it again. I seem to have this resolved now, using slightly different verbs to do the hold/freehands that is required to put the NPC in the right state.
The spatial matrix ID was set incorrectly in the San Mara bar, preventing gridphones from working there after we changed how phones work. This has been fixed, and the bar now has service.
I've updated the way appearance modifiers are calculated such that if you are wearing a see-thru article of clothing over various parts of your body it will not impact your appearance score the same way it would if you were wearing say, a helmet that covers your pretty/ugly face.
I've added a line to @check for tailors that shows if an object is see thru or not.
I've updated the work messages at the PRI factory on Red to have messages pointing people towards different jobs and towards the gangs for better money. Should be good reinforcement for new players to seek out better opportunities.
If you have a non extended baton you won't attack with it and will just... not attack. NPCs didn't auto extend non-extended batons that were handed to them. Now, when they take out a baton, they will extend it. This only works when they hold it though, so there may still be some wonkiness if someone hands them a non-extended baton. But it is better than it was.
I added several checks in critter food eating to prevent bad recycling and prevent TBs.
You can no longer spoof while hidden. The reason for this is that while a spoof is generally an ambient action, it still needs to involve your character name, and if your character is hidden, it may be confusing or reveal meta info accidentally. Also, those with names that are more common words (like Seven) could technically hide behind this even unintentionally with a spoof like !Seven rats scurry across the street.
The first floor where Unit 1 and 2 are had an exit to go Up, but... no exit leading back down. You could get down elsewhere, which is probably why this wasn't reported, but yeah, weird. Fixed.
