STICKY: Small Updates and Tweaks

[Azraeth]

Several new daily dilemmas have been added for criminal businesses specifically, both to reflect the chapter consequences (relating to a rise in crime), and because they needed some love.

There's now a "best gambler" section on the leaderboards. This currently takes into account winnings / losses on slots and lottery. It will take into account other future gambling minigames.

If you've used photobucket images, you might have noticed they were broken. Until now. We've changed all photobucket URLs so that the thumbnails are used, which has fixed most of the broken images in the game.

There are a few URLs which were abnormal, so those might still be broken. Please PM me if you have broken images in your housing.

There's a chance that this might only work for a while. If so, we'll run a script which will download the photobucket images and host them on our server.

- Chat has been fixed so that it won't give you a white screen whenever you switch character or log in as another character.

The battle code, which impacts Battle to the Death and NPC battles has gotten a minor tweak. The code now checks to see if a player has gone in the past 3 turns, and will automatically let them go if they haven't. This should prevent NPCs and player characters from spamming tons of powers or attacks during a fight without much chance for the other person to get a hit in. Be aware though that the system is not 100% turn based, as battle fatigue (using stats like stamina), and dexterity still play a big role in battles.

You'll now get in-game alerts whenever somebody PMs you on the forum. The alert message will tell you the name of the sender, and will have a link to your inbox.

Just a quick post to say that Chloe (Lancaster) has stepped down as a moderator. She'll still be around and RPing, and everyone on the mod team is extremely sorry to see her step down. She'll be welcome to return as a moderator whenever she's ready, as we're all very grateful to everything she's done to help over the years.
