Bugs and Ideas

Our bug-fixing team has been hard at work, correcting many vexing mis-weaves that have been scourging Sapience for too long:

* Additional typos, omissions and corrections in the various combinations of Furnishing alterations.

* Bookcase, bookshelf, and container capacities were normalised, and alterations such as tall/short, broad/narrow, or deep/shallow were changed to have the correct effect (only tall had any impact before). Currently the base capacity of a library item (bookcase or bookshelf) is 65, and the base capacity of a container is 20. Each of the size alterations will add an addition 0.5x multiplier, in the correct direction; for instance a "broad, deep" bookcase would have twice the capacity. This is a little different from the former formulas but more in line with our current intentions.

* Entering the Composer no longer leaves one eternally swinging, and able to leave the room while and continue to swing merrily away as if on a phantom swing.

* Grammar, typos, and outright bizarre wording for various messages, denizens, and items have been fixed.

* Furnishing blankets, for a brief time, were emerging from the workshop as bizarre fluffy goblins. Some Furnishers found themselves attacked by a simply-woven pink goblin, which was amusing, but now fixed.

* The Troll talisman's catapult will now not fling its unfortunate victim into stockrooms or other mysterious places (sorry, thieves and explorers).

* An odd, rare case where adding venoms to your liquid rift would result in them being switched to become plants, has been corrected.

* The husks created by the Huskmaker relic no longer appear as "unspecified things" when they enter or leave a room.

In addition, we have begun to pore over the list of IDEAs which have been submitted, and have implemented the following:

* PROBE and WEAPONPROBE will now show any instillations made on Shadowmancy weapons.

* HARVEST IRID is now accepted as a substitute for HARVEST MOSS.

* If you QUIT CLASS, the multiclass timeout will be reset rather than leaving one stuck on an empty class slot for several hours.

* CITY FAVORLOG is now a valid synonym for CITY FAVOURLOG (some insist on this insanely inaccurate spelling!)

Penned by My hand on the 13th of Phaestian, in the year 738 AF.
