Changelog

This page lists changes to the game that have been added over time. It is user run and not automated, therefore there will be delays between the update itself and the update to the changelog.

Dates may not be entirely accurate and some changes may be included under dates that happened within a few days of the update.

Dates are listed in the format of YYYY-MM-DD.

Map swaps are not included here as they happen weekly, and would unnecessarily increase the length of this page. That said, it is rare that an update does not coincide with a mapswap.

  • Changes how xenoarch generation works to make it take up less memory. Leaves an EXTREME amount of comments to help future maintainers dig through the mess that is xenoarch code.

  • Added a debug proc to the game to allow spawning minor artifacts for easy testing & admin events.
  • Changes /obj/item/New() to /obj/item/Initialize(mapload).

  • Makes plant artifacts give a description to say that they should be given to xenoflora.

  • Condenses all the gas artifacts into one artifact type & file.
  • Condenses good/bad/cannible feel, hot/cold atmos, heal/harm, and synth heal/harm into singular types instead of duplicated files.
  • Changes all istype to ishuman, isrobot, ismob where appropriate in the xenoarch code.
  • Changes Bold to span_bold() where appropriate in the xenoarch code.
  • Adds a wrench to the xenoarch supply pack.
  • Adds the xenoarcheology depth scanner to mining vendor. (Allows miners to excavate, but not locate artifacts to prevent jobstealing.)

  • Fixes a bug where sometimes a large artifact would have the 'datum/artifact_effect/extreme' effect which did nothing.

  • Sets of artifacts can now spawn. Primarily used for xeno organs and cult armor.
  • Makes it so Human Remains finds will spawn with a random organ.

  • Makes it so xenoarch syringe find will spawn with random reagents.
  • Makes it so xenoarch bowls/urns will generate random reagents.
  • Swaps the Cult Blade spawn with an Artifact Blade that has a collection of unique upsides and downsides. Just don't try to hit your fellow crew with it!
  • Makes the anomaly scanner do a 'wavelength change' if the Z level runs out of small/large artifacts. This creates more digsites around the user.
  • Adds a new 'power generator' artifact. Commented out until some good sounds can be procured.
  • Deletes a lot of useless junk from the spawnpool, like cutlery, rods, and shards.
  • Makes 'material stack' drops found via xenoarch select a random material from the game (with a blacklist) instead of a few select ones.
  • Expanded the alien tool drops and also allows them to spawn with an alien equipment piece as well.
  • Allows tomes to be unearthed in xenoarch. (No functionality, just fluff).
  • Makes any objects that have subtypes have a chance of having the subtype spawn in.

  • Makes it so the 'cult armor' artifact actually spawns armor.
  • Makes the shock maul play a different sound when powered down and used on a rock.
  • Makes Shadow wrights not sit in nullspace forever after activating.

  • Adjusted xenoarch large artifact spawnrates.
  • More xenoarch large artifacts spawn in the universe now.
  • Makes the vampiric artifact and vampiric statue give you rewards for feeding them instead of giving you pain and suffering through spawning mobs on top of you.
• Added many new borg sprites: Catborgs, Kittyborgs and Gryphborg. All assets created by Toriate.
• Added a new "Private Notes" option to character setup, and a new "Private Notes" verb that opens them up and allows you to see and edit them in-game in the same way as OOC Notes. These are essentially personal notes to store on your character that nobody else can access, where you might want to save information about their lore or other details for easy access. Note that whilst they are called private notes, server staff may be able to access them.
• Added top surgery, body tonage and gradient markings.
• Cleaned up all ears, tails, markings, taurhalves, and hairstyles (inc. facial hair) to cancel out messy duplication and overrides caused by Polaris several years ago. Due to the scale of the refactor some things may have slipped through the cracks: if you find anything that seems to be missing or broken, please file a bug report on Github with as much information as possible.
• Added new variants of all three vulp earsets with colourable eartips.

• Changed the backend of character creation to now use /tg/ preferences for many of the saved settings. This should not have any user-visible effect and any visible changes are considered bugs.

• Added a new verb called "Play Hand Games", found in the IC tab under the Game category. This verb allows you to play one of the following games with someone next to you or over a small table:
  • Rock, Paper, Scissors. Each player chooses one of those and the choices are declared at the same time.
  • Arm Wrestling. Players choose a strength and a roll is made that is weighted by the scale, larger characters have an advantage.
  • Slap Hands. Players choose a reaction speed, and a roll is made that is weighted by scale, smaller characters have an advantage.
  • Thumb wars. Literally just RNG for a free roll at any time.
• Added the option for hanner and replicants to use digitigrade legs.
