* Adds the ability to customise the colour of a single body marking over the different body parts that it covers. This is done via a customise button next to each marking.
=2024-11-18=
* A new field has been added to examines and [[Character_Creation#Character_Setup_Interface|character setup]]: Custom link. This 100 character space allows for you to include a link (or multiple) to character references or preference lists that is clickable upon being examined. This is not to be used for memes.
* Merged dogborg modules into standard [[cyborg]] modules:
** All borgs now have a belly module, but only those with sprites made for it will have one visible on their body whilst in use.
** The boop module is now available to all borgs.
** The tongue module is now available to all borgs, but is no longer able to clean.
** Puppy jaws module has been effectively removed, but for dog, drake and raptor borg sprites, the universal crowbar tool now has the puppy jaws sprite.
** Other dogborg tools, such as paws of life and jumper paws, are still visible as flavour as resprited versions of other borg tools when you are playing as the dog sprites.
** Boozehounds now change belly colour by using the Customize Appearance verb.
** All whitelisted borg sprites have been transferred over.

** The character directory has been made compatible with the new format.
** Edit buttons are visible when you have your own OOC notes open.
** Due to being a TGUI window, links in OOC notes will no longer be clickable.
* Changed mentions of nitrogen to phoron in [[Supermatter Engine]] manual. Also updates relevant numbers (expected shots of 12-16), and expands some data on some features.
* Fixed micros not being able to be properly holstered.


=2023-08-05=
* Added a whole new TGUI window for borg module selection, which allows the user to easily browse all available module sprites.
* Added "pro swimmer" [[traits|trait]] that costs one point, which increases your movespeed in water (about half as much as aquatic) and reduces time to traverse between water z-levels when swimming.
* Added search functionality to smart vendors.
* Added "salvage technician" alt title for engineer. '''NOTE:''' This is currently bugged and unselectable, it will be fixed in the next update.
* Added the ability to grind ores directly for reagents.
* Added more stack materials to the list of grindable materials.
* Added the engineering drake borg plushie to cargo's random plushie crate contents.
* Changed a variety of swimming and climbing related traits:
** Bad Swimmer makes it take 25% longer to swim up/down.
** Amateur and Natural Climber reduce ladder/lattice climbing time by 25%.
** Professional Climber reduces ladder/lattice climbing time by 50%.
** Tajara and Vasilissans have 25% reduced ladder/climbing time, so they gain the benefit of Amateur Climber.
* Changed Winged Flight to allow all species to take it.
* Changed Rings, Watches, Bracelets, and Knuckledusters into Accessories that can be attached to most Gloves. They can still be worn standalone if desired. Rings and knuckledusters will give your gloves a small bump in force/punchforce whilst attached as well.
* Changed Macrophages to have increased escape chance.
* Changed the ore satchel so that it will no longer pick up slag.
* Removed unused buzzer rings.
* Removed the ability for borgs to upgrade themselves. '''NOTE:''' This is planned to be reverted partially in the next update, in which they will only be restricted from resetting their own module.

* Fixed Wrong longer title for one of the virus chemicals.
* Fixed missing arguments to recursive_content_check().
* Fixed bracelets to now be worn on your hands/wrists rather than being in the neck slot.
* Fixed the ghost verb so that it no longer gives the option to aghost to non-staff in some circumstances.
* Fixed the advanced who verb so that it no longer gives the admin version of the verb to non-staff in some circumstances.


* Added a new hotsprings map to the redgate! It's an open snowfield map with a few buildings and caves dotted about, but most notably, it has a few hotsprings outdoors and indoors! The map is uncomfortably cold, but the hotsprings are nice and warm.
=2024-11-10=

* Removed examine_vr and merged it's contents into the main file.
* Fixed things so that the OM mob won't lose its map_z.


===Additional Update===
* Added an entirely new virology system, which completely replaced the previous Virus2 system that we had.
** Advance diseases are engineered by virologists, they can range from useful to dangerous.
** Virologists can use the new chemicals to improve and evolve their viruses.
** These new viruses can be cured with specific chemicals, as well as the ones made by the virologists.
** If a virus has been found, you can check the cure with a simple health analyzer, otherwise the PanDEMIC machine will show anything in it.
** Viruses will be auto-discovered if they reach half or more in it's stages.
* Added verb ReleaseVirus in the Fun > Event Kit tab. This allows GMs to release a pre-set virus upon someone.
* Added verb AdminCreateVirus in the Fun > Event Kit tab. This allows GMs to tailor a virus and release it upon someone, all the effects can be picked and the virus may be named as well.
* Added the ability to choose which type of headset/earpiece your character spawns with in character setup. If the chosen type is not available for your job/role, you will default to another (usually the standard headset).
* Added a new earbud style radio headset/earpiece, which has no on-character sprite. This is also selectable in character setup.
* Added an extra button to all station dorms, an emergency door release. This can be pulled by the occupants to immediately unbolt and open the door even if it is unpowered.
* Adds a contraband scanner machine that scans the contents of mobs that walk over it, and if it detects they're carrying an item matching its internal blocklist, sounds an alarm. The alarm has a short, area-shared cooldown (10 seconds) so you can't spam the sound/text message by walking over the same (or multiple) scanners in rapid succession. They cannot be built and are not ''currently'' implemented on any maps, but this will likely change in future.
* Added new upgraded components for robots to increase their hp up to a total maximum of ~ 370 hitpoints, those components also reduce power costs.
* Added three varieties of lockpick (one of which is really just an example) for redgate/event usage and getting around locked simple doors without finding their actual key.
* Added the ability to alt-click a reagent dispenser (such as a water or fuel tank) to open the input. When the input is open, reagent containers (such as buckets and beakers) will pour their contents into the dispenser to refill it.
* Added ping to status tab.
* Added "modified" and "non-standard" variants of the hacktool, which have different sprites to make them more obvious. The non-standard also starts in hackmode. The modified version can be found in abandoned crates, and are slightly more common than the fully disguised hacktool.
* Added a new dark variant of the squish hammer that breaks every bone in the targets body and shoots out blood.
* Added a simple claw hammer weapon. Strong melee weapon that easily breaks down windows and barricades, but also has a high chance of breaking any bones that it hits.
* Added 4 new props based on the old virology machines for decoration.
* Removed the redundant name/desc customize proc from the plain choker (just use name/desc gear tweaks instead).
* Changed the cache directory to cache instead of tmp.
* Changed power cells to initialize.
* Changed vending machines to initialize.
* Changed the hacker contraband set to come with the modified multitool.
* Changed the modified multitool variant to sometimes spawn in abandoned crates slightly more often at a slightly lower cost, as it's more obvious as contraband.
* Fixed a bug causing healing to be 100x more effective than intended.
* Fixed the vore panel belly description overflowing if it is too long.
* Fixed ghostjump.
* Fixed runtime in cmd_admin_z_narrate.
* Fixed missing sprite for digi footwraps.
* Fixed a crash when opening the panel without being inside a belly.
* Fixed non-staff being able to view the ahelp ticket panel.

* Changed the focus on tabs to allow scrolling immediately.
** The dog also has lots of tall fur that can be cut down for harvesting, and vore mobs might appear from it.
* Changed Atmospherics to now use /Initialize instead of /New.
** The inside of the dog has digestive enzyme pools that, if your prefs align, can digest you.
* Removed the ability to deploy helmets over headwear due to bugs associated with it.
* Adds functionality to simple mob AI to allow it to be selectively hostile to people who's vore preferences line up, and a few new mobs that use this functionality:

* Added a new craftable weapon that can be made from most materials: Staves! They are not particularly strong as weapons but have a few unique perks;
* Added a second ear slot called horns.
** First, using it two-handed allows you to occasionally block/parry incoming melee attacks. This includes melee attacks from hostile simple mobs, not just players.
* Added the ability to import bellies.
** Second, being on disarm stance increases the chance to block/parry and gives a decent chance to briefly weaken any opponent you hit (the tradeoff being that you still need to be wielding it and if you're in disarm stance your attacks deal half damage).

The setting must be set each round, but it will remember your settings for the round, and you can enable and disable that setting with a simple push of the autowhisper button!

** [[https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24854483/253850083-253cf154-18d2-441d-a00c-203dfffaaf7b.png See an image of the new UI elements here.]]

* Changed the way that code is compiled, which no longer is done via dreammaker and instead done through build.cmd in the bin folder of the vorestation code. This also compiles all TGUI code too. TGUI bundles should no longer be committed in pull requests as they are generated on the server side.
* Removed /obj/item/weapon and /obj/item/device, making them all subtypes of /item. This should have no visible effect to players, but report any broken items or odd behaviours via the appropriate channels!
* Removed struggles animations where there is no icon states for them.
* Fixed the modify robot admin section for the ERT channel.

=2023-07-07=
===Hotfix===

* Added a migration check to stop NIFs being eaten by the weapon/device path changes.


* Added a new birthday field to character setup:
Some fixes to weapon/devices, particularly broken icons, are still pending.
** When your character's birthday passes, you will be given an option to increase their age by the number of years that have passed.
** This is entirely optional, you do not have to give them a birthday, and you can choose not to increment their age.
** The "Announce?" option makes it so that if you log in as a character on their birthday, it will be announced to the shift and a happy birthday message will play.
* Added markings styled off zorgoia! This includes ears, a tail, a taur body, and a fat taur body (no vwag toggle or loaf). Up-Ported with permission from the creator, Shadowfire117.
* Added the ability to make electrochromic window buttons (circuit from autolathe, frame on wall, like fire alarms), electrochromic (polarized) window multitool interactions actually work now.

* Added 6 underclothing variants of feminine T-shirts, including midriffs, text and shoulder colours.
** A new 'Instructional health analyser' has been added that has this enabled by default, with a new sprite and name that should hopefully stand out to new players that won't know to enable the guidance on other analysers. Otherwise, this analyser is identical to the standard health analyser mechanically.
* Added 4 recolourable belt accessories. Thin, thick, strap (no buckle) and studded.
** The new information requires the user to have medical access (but NOT ID changing access). This is to prevent job stealing from other departments that might see this information as an RP reason to know how to treat someone.
* Added 1 new hostile mob, the homunculus. This mob will transform into the first person that it sees, and will gain potential attack and armour depending on what that mob is wielding without copying it exactly.
** The main goal of this addition is to help new players who do not have a mentor with them and may be overwhelmed by the looking up the medical system whilst under time pressure.
* Added 3 new variants of the corrupt hound, fire breather, fast and laser. They have slightly modified sprites to make them easy to identify. I have been using these mobs a lot in events lately and it'd be nice to give them some variety.
* Added a new "puzzlebox" to be used by event-runners and mappers alike: broken_drone_circuit! Given some simple var-edits, you can hide lore inside a drone brain for players to solve (or shock themselves with failing!).

* Added aquatic, hard feet, silk weaver and cocoon weaver as a possible traits for hanner, just in case they are from a parent species that is appropriate for. Unlike xenochimera, hanner will have to pay for these traits with points.
** Image: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/131091897/249291798-9ac03f37-5849-4253-963c-2ba81e569a15.png

* Removed Mega Nukies from the possible drinks that can start in a vacuum flask.

* Fixed duplicated tesh selection in custom species.
* Changed another feature for developers: fake suns are modified so it's easier to synchronize lighting across multiple connected Z levels.
* Fixed issue where sub options on traits (such as colours in long predatorial reach) would not be loaded on spawn.
* Changed BL-3/P mech accessory code moved to module/research/mechfab_designs_vr . This does not affect gameplay.
* Fixed so that new player which never saved their preferences before and reload will now be given a default belly not to end without any bellies.

===Additional Update===
===Additional Update===

* Added the ability for PDA messages to display images. Must be a single message of one URL. The URL must be on cdn.discordapp.com, i.imgur.com, or imgur.com (the last is questionably functional). The new preference "Messenger Embeds" must be on for a PDA to even try to fetch a link.
* Removed some round start spam about away mission stuff being spawned.
* Fixed an issue where when the stellar delight was loaded, that other maps would not be tested in the compiler.
* Chickens now have sprites in the editor again.


=2023-06-25=
=2024-09-07=


* A new Redgate has been added to map! This is a gateway that any of the crew can access that leads to a random map, but they are generally safe enough for all crew to explore without much preparation. Teppi and vore mobs are abundant on these maps.
* Added a new whitelist species, the '''[[Hanner]]'''. These are the half-offspring of Lleill and share a small number of their abilities. Notably, they are shapeshifters, can drain energy from consenting people, can do basic alchemy and can transform into beasts. This species can be a crewmember if they have been approved for the whitelist via a special character application.
* Added the ability to climb walls:
* Added an entirely new '''Game Options''' system to game for non-vore prefs, replacing the majority of the options in the preferences tab and switches in the global tab with a new TGUI window.
** Certain walls are now able to be climbed (marked by examining).
* Added a small chance of finding potion materials in maint loot (pretty rare), to allow a little more consistent use of the alchemy ability for lleill, rather than relying on redgates alone.
** Anyone can attempt to climb a wall, but if they do not have an [[Traits#Movement_Bonuses|appropriate trait]], they will fail 80% of the time.  
* Added UI buttons for powers available to [[Hanner]] and [[Lleill]] characters, as well as a meter displaying how much of their glamour energy they have remaining.

** "Climber, Amateur", costs 1 point for removing fall chance (all species can take)
* Added a Protogen Dog form to pAIs.
** "Climber, Professional" that climbs faster, costing 2 pts (all species can take)
* Added an animated sparkling version of tricolor leather wings.

* Changed prometheans to allow the use of teshari and vox icon bases.
* Significantly reworked sci-aerostat solars airlocks.

* Added an exception list to redgates to allow specified items to pass through. Initially, this includes ore boxes.
* Added new verbs to the EventKit tab: "Map Message - Create", which spawns a new red admin environmental message, this one does not delete other messages placed by the user, allowing GMs to place as many as they want. "Map Message - Remove" which lists all env messages in the world by their message text, allowing admins/GMs to remove any particular one.
* Added a number of classic hardhat options.
* Changed public teleporter sprites make them easier to use by filling them with a transparent layer.

=2023-06-18=
=2024-09-01=


* Major overhaul of the [[Character_Creation#Loadout|loadout system]] aimed at reducing the now excessive clutter available in it, be aware that you may have to reselect some of your loadout options that have either moved or been added to part of a grouped option:
* Added Fears and Phobia traits, which cause your character to gain Panic when exposed to certain things (e.g. spiders), which makes you less accurate with ranged attacks, cause you to auto-emote, and sometimes drop any items you're holding. Citalopram and Paroxetine can be used to counteract its effects.
** Casual dress is now under its own "casual dress" category
* Added Spice Smites. Be careful what you wish for when you hit that Request Spice button!
** The Uniform Selectors tab has been renamed to just uniforms
* Added robotic digitigrade leg options. Also requires the appropriate digitigrade setting to avoid clothes looking weird, of course.
** Selectors for all uniforms have been reduced to 1pt cost for consistency with other uniform costs (for some reason I had it in my head that certain uniforms cost slightly more because they had integrated armour or the like)
* Morphs can now take over their prey properly.
** Uniforms that were previously listed seperately are now only available through the relevant selector, but none have been (intentionally) removed
* New mind transfer pref, blocks bodysnatching and most other nefarious uses of mind transfers.
** Several items have been compressed down using selection menus where there are multiple (3+) similar items of a very similar type, for instance basic coloured gloves, softcaps, cowboy hats, leather jackets, and so on
* Added a new button to the vore panel preferences tab, "Load Prefs From Slot". This button allows you to simply load another character slot's bellies and vore preferences onto your current character, but does not automatically save them.
** Departmental hat selectors have been added for Security and Medical since they had enough to warrant them
* Big dragon sprites will no longer keep the bones showing when you revive them.
** A new EMT softcap has been added to mirror the basic Medical softcap
* Using the Copy Slot option will now immediately Save, so you no longer have to do it manually in order to finalize the copy.
** Loadout no longer inexplicably excludes a particular brand of cigarettes
* Added big squirrel, flagtail, and bunnytaur tail options.
** In a similar vein, two brands are now no longer premium (that is coin-only) items in cigarette machines
* Removed limit on negative traits, if you truly wish to create some tormented abomination(s). This means you are only limited by points and slots for positive traits now.
* Added ability for multi-colored colorable belly overlays to exist.
* Fixes for examine length in certain circumstances.
* Added a new [[Vore_Panel#Visuals|recolourable belly screen]] created by VerySoft using the above feature, so that the shiny white parts stay shiny white even with colour.

* Added 3 new [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_Do_I_Give_My_Character_A_Taur_Body?|taur bodies]], all a variant of "Synthetic chassis - agile": Normal, Fat and Vwag Fat (which can use vwag to switch between the previous two).
* Fixes for certain idle messages being a bit too long in certain circumstances.
* Added the ability to move through people who are intentionally pixel shifted.
* Fixed a handful of cases where some messages would not be sent to anyone as they did not have a target var set.

* Fixed meat pizzas not having the meat nutriment in them.
* Fixed the invisble alien saw and cyborg saw.
* Fixed PDA atmos scanner from showing gibberish.

* 4 more of VerySoft's belly screens have been made colourable!
=2024-08-26=


=2023-06-12=
* Added research samples, for research, to be found in explorable locations. Collect them using special sample containers (found in  mining and xenoarch closets, and mining and exploration points vendors), then analyze them or reduce them into useful resources! Or just put them on a table and use them as a conversation piece.
* Added a new goofy looking vore mob, the Meowl.
* Added "random corporate supply" and contraband "special corporate supply" crates to cargo terminals; the former mostly has harmless stuff, whilst the latter can spawn all sorts of stuff from the random pool but can also include weapons (rarely).

* Added a check to ranged LOOC to only broadcast them to active staff.
* Added a check to the ahelp ticket panel to only allow active staff to view them.

* Fixed the monster bait toy so that it can only be used on mobs immediately next to you, preventing them from telekinetically shoving you over.
* Changed the scel to attempt to eat people who have digestion turned off, as it has the selective belly mode on anyway.
* Changed the supply spawning behaviour slightly, so crates are no longer mandatory. As an example of this, gas canisters and the cargo tug no longer arrive in crates.
* Changed supply consoles to start tracking orders at 0 (so the first order is order 1, etc.) rather than a random number between 1 and 9000
* Fixed the electric guitar not working.
* Fixed supply console scrolling not working.
* Fixed the random pizza pack crate, it now comes with the pizza delivery outfit and visor, deleting a duplicate pizza supply pack that was inaccessible anyway due to not having a defined name or container.

* Fixed Number Input / dragable not refocussing the content on click.
* Fixed examining clientless humans failing in some cases.

** Toggle Prey Override ignores the minimum size requirement for prey to show the belly, provided that the minimum prey override value is reached.

** Minimum Prey Override allows you to set the minimum number of prey required to trigger the Prey Override setting if it is turned on.
* TGUI Say radio channels are now properly matched to our radio channels, and input history for TGUI Say is now browsed using Page Up/Down rather than the Up/Down arrow keys

* Borg beakers have been made a little less janky
* Added two missing options for the shark 'head' parts that were previously missing ("shark upper ears and fin alt style (Colorable)" and "shark lower ears and fin (Colorable)"), as well as spruced-up their sprites.

* Added Suit Storage sprites, Robotic Storage sprites, Robotic Storage console sprites and Suit Cycler sprites.
* Staves no longer have a 100% block chance

* Ported over the Suit Cooler sprite from Baystation and added in a new Emergency Cooler Sprite.
* Various tweaks have been made to the space traffic announcements. These range from a more randomised time between chatter, and the potential for some internal command comms to leak out.

* Extended the trait tutorial descriptions for Long Predatorial Reach.
* Added a new verb in the "EventKit" tab: Report Player Status. This verb provides a list of players in each area who are currently active and details how long it has been since they last acted.

* Reagent Dispensers now have a per-round, per-machine macro system, for faster and easier mixing. Applies to all reagent dispensers; alcohol, soda, you name it. Mostly useful for chemistry.
* Fixed species/custom blood colours being overwritten back to default red. Your chosen/current blood colour also displays as a small coloured circle on the colour selection button.
* Electrical storms are now much more likely to affect an area, but have only a 25% chance to destroy all of its lights. Most of the time, it will just make them all flicker. ''Spooooooky!''
* Assorted fixes from downstream:
** Certain items can no longer spawn in lootpiles if they were only intend to spawn on mapload, and the temp item spawners will clean themselves up properly.
** Many more objects can now be rotated CCW (as well as CW).
** Borers will no longer crash VR pods.
** Bloodspatters will no longer proc their drying timers on mapload, preventing weird behaviour.
** Can no longer put grabs in crates.
** Fixes looking up when outdoors.
** Vehicles now obey gravity and will fall on entering open space.
** Cargo tug can use stairs but this may injure the rider.
** Fixed some runtimes with medbots and secbots.
** Fixed some cases of incorrect TECH_MAGNETS use (should have been TECH_MAGNET).
** Damage/stumblevore no longer fires every step when riding taurs/borgs if you're confused.
** Fixed some item interactions with virus dishes.
* Added some new items to Cargo's Away Team/Pilot supply crates (namely survival watches) and added a new Away Team Leader crate.

=2024-08-04=
** A left eye heterochromia marking.
** A turkey tail.
** Shark style head fins and ears, along with 3 new variations of the akula tail.

** Added new 'crap' tier device cell that has half the charge value of a standard device cell.
** Added new Hyper Device cell which has a slightly better charge than the normal device cell.

* Added four new admin verbs that allow staff to make mobs, objects and turfs emote:
** Narrate Entity (takes 3 positional arguments in form of narrate-entity "identifier" "mode" "narration" and makes the entity associated with the identifier say/emote that. This only works for those on personal list.
** Narrate Entity (Interface) does as above, but walks the user through picking each var. It's planned to create a TGUI interface for rapid narration by just selecting buttons that stay that way and on the screen, and the user can press a button to create a input that gets sent.
** Narrate Entity (Add ref) is a right click verb on all visible atoms & turfs and mob/living in view range that the user can give a unique identifier that does not show up in-game for easy referencing.
** Narrate Entity (Remove ref) removes refs to avoid bloat from no-longer-relevant entities at will.
* Added a new tab for staff called EventKit.
* Added a new Mob Spawner panel for staff that allows them to quickly spawn groups of any mob, with tweaks to the size of the group, the size of the mobs themselves and tweak their names, descriptions and flavour text prior to spawning.
* Added new functionality to buildmode that, when in AI mode, pressing MMB + shift on anything in the game screen enables all selected mobs to wander freely around their home turf. Alternatively, pressing MMB + CTRL turns off their wandering, prompting them to sit still until someone disturbs them.
* Added new logic for the bloodsucker ability where "Always Subtle" and "Subtle, Bleedless" options no longer place blood splatter on the ground.
* Changed bloodsucker subtle modes to use italics rather than bolds.
* Minor decal and sprite tweaks to crates.
* Changed the prosthetic fabricator sprite and included a charge meter.
* Updated the "Scug Picnic" Rascal's Pass POI to use the Picnic Blanket. Also cleaned it up somewhat to better sell the idea of "Cute scugs eating messily"

* The Fuel Depot has been upgraded with point defenses, improved maximum capacity, increased solar array output, and a set of connectors for faster multi-canister refueling.
* A new verb has been added that can hide (or unhide) almost all of the verbs in the verb panel, which should help with client performance on older/slower machines.
* Added a new "speckled leather" wing type.


* Added a new picnic blanket item, which can be unfolded to fill upto a 3x3 area (accounting for physical space and not spilling over the edges of tables). It is available in the bits & bobs vendor.
=2024-07-28=
* Added new colourable "elegant sandals" to the loadout menu.
* Medical and employment records are now scrollable when viewed through computers.

** More conversion to TypeScript (for proper code completion, in-editor error line thingies, autodocs etc.), mostly for the core files
** Unit tests for some of the Core Files so if some of those are touched in the future, tests can be run to test out if those functions still works or output the expected things on specific input
** The "Kitchen Sink" has had it's pages updated (build tgui with 'yarn tgui:build' to get the development bundle and get a nice button to see it)
** Components synced with TG (due to general improvements and new features like a bit more fixed scrolling, etc., some UIs that are always visible like the vorepanel no longer have that "eye" icon)

=2023-05-28=
* Added significant changes to the Lleill species. This species is admin spawn only and will remain that way, but is now generally more balanced for people to use. The ability for regular players to play these on request will likely only be granted after the lore document for them is posted to the wiki:
** Added an energy system for some Lleill abilities (invisibility, transmutation and teleportating to rings).
** Added ways to restore that energy. There are now two ways, either 75 energy every 10 minutes from rings, or by taking energy from another creature that consents to it.
** Added a glamour gasmask/helmet option for Lleill to use for breathing outside of the tether.
** Added a variant of the nudity permit of Lleill to use for storing items.
** Added an alchemy ability to allow Lleill to do alchemy without using an alembic. Not very useful but very flavorful.

* Fixed an error in the shuttle UI preventing sensors from being shown when they should.
* Fixed Bluespace Crackers being able to be used more than once by sending multiple prompts to a target.


* Added a new category of uniform selectors to the loadout menu, which includes all the valid, role-restricted uniforms for a role under a single option. The intent of this is to provide easier selection of job uniforms in what is now an increasingly bloated loadout list. They also include many of the uniforms added last week.
=2024-07-21=
* Added a new "Explain Custom Traits" verbs in the abilities tab. This opens up a list of traits that your character has and a description of each, and some tips on how to use them where it's relevant. These can either appear in a TGUI window, or be printed straight to the chat window.
* Smart fridges have a bunch of new sprites and overlays. Smart fridges look different from one another, and their contents appear to be themed around the type of smart fridge.
* Item banks have been placed next to both sets of elevators at centcomm.
* Added new ranger ponchos in 9 different colours, matching the neck gaiters.
* Added a new Baseball item. Much like a Tennis Ball but missing the fuzz.
* You can now use tape on a stun baton to disable the safety switch that turns it off when dropped. A screwdriver can be used to remove this tape.
* Added gorka suit options for all departments (and for pilots specifically). They are available in the new uniform selectors.
* Added the Martian Miner's Coat. It can be found somewhat-rarely in abandoned crates.

* Made the concussion maul a little rarer in abandoned crates.
* Fixed some lighting on the tether.
* Fixed the top conveyor of tether's cargo going in the same direction as the bottom one.

* Fixed Drying Rack sprite.
* Changed how the sounds for Packaged and Canned foods is processed.
* Added some missing license headers.


=2023-05-21=
* You can now use OOC Escape when inside food to get out of it, in the rare event that Resist isn't working and for general consistency purposes.
* Ported a bunch more clothing options.
* Added Mega Nukies, super energy drinks that can sometimes be found in maint. They can offer unique temporary effects, but there may be undesirable consequences!

* Updated the description of butterfly nets to more clearly imply they can be used to catch micros.
* Increased the height of the Welcome window to remove the scrollbar after roundstart.
* Various standard-issue voidsuits now have opt-in helmet cameras linked to appropriate networks.

* Updated several more UIs to Typescript.


* Added a new global preference (defaults to disabled) that makes it so any TGUI text input will not auto-submit when you hit enter. If this is enabled, you will be able to use linebreaks in TGUI text boxes, but will have to mouse click submit. You can swap between this at any time in character setup and it will instantly apply.
=2024-07-14=
* Added a new Global Vore Privacy [[Vore_Panel#Preferences|preference]]. If set to private, it will change the range of messages that show up when putting someone into a belly or expelling them from anyone that can see your sprite to subtle range.
* Added a new Toggle Vore Privacy setting in the [[Vore Panel|vore panel]] [[Vore_Panel#Options|options tab]], that allows you to override your global vore privacy setting on a per belly basis.
* Added new privacy and bleeding controls to the [[Traits#Diet|bloodsucker trait]]. The previous behaviour is the default and this must be configured each round. To change this, you simply use the bite ability on yourself, which brings up a list of options.
** You can use these options to set the default behaviour for every time you use the ability between always loud or subtle, have a pop up window every time you use it or change it to be dependant on your intent. If you choose intents or pop, your options will be as follows:
** HELP - Loud, No Bleeding
** DISARM - Subtle, Causes bleeding
** GRAB - Subtle, No Bleeding
** HARM - Loud, Causes Bleeding

* Added a bunch of burnt circuits that can be left behind when a [[synthetics|synth]] or [[cyborg|borg]] is digested with 'leave remains' active.
* Added a smattering of clothes sourced from SR & TG. None of these are in the loadout, but many can be found in department vending machines or in lockers.
* Added a long snout marking.
* Added a set of pizza delivery uniforms (and visors) to [[Cargo Technician|cargo]] on Rascal's Pass in place of one of the cargo technician lockers in the cargo storage room.
* Corrected the color of the major bill's softcap. Added '_flipped' on_mob icon for the major bill's softcap. In-hand sprite for the major bill's softcap is now red as opposed to yellow.
* Fixed an issue causing major game lag when trying to repair a mech with nanopaste. This fix also added feedback and made advanced nanopaste more effective at repairing mechs.
* Fixed an issue with Rascal's Pass mapping that created an incorrectly assigned area, wooden floor, and floating console in cargo's storage room.
* Fixed missing sprites for smokables on zorren.
* Fixed a missing fire alarm on the Stellar Delight.


=2023-05-14=

=2023-05-11=
* Added butterfly nets. These nets can be wafted across a tile, much like a fishing net, to catch butterflies (and people of scale 50% and below)! Using them on themselves either drops the contents, or if the inactive hand is empty, pulls out the contents into the free hand. They can be crafted from cloth, found in the botanists locker, or rarely found in maintenance.
* Added new hotkey mode combinations for resting. Ctrl+U now always rests to the right, whilst Shift+U always rests to the left. These can also be used with the Rest-Left and Rest-Right verbs in the command bar.
* Changed an airlock from the exploration preperation room into maintenance on the SD from a glass airlock to a hatch airlock.
* Fixed RD console crashing on state changes (such as when the destructive analyser is used).


* Mobs that retaliate upon being attacked now have a system to forgive their attacker: '''If they are at full health''', they will cease attacking their retaliate target when the target rests, is weakened or stunned. Therefore, if you accidentally grab or disarm them, they will forgive you upon knocking you down or if you lay down yourself. However, if you've actually damaged them at all, or anyone else has, they will still attack to the death.
=2024-07-03=
* Raptor [[Cyborg|borgs]] have been expanded to cover the full range of dogborg modules, they can be found under: Traumahound, Custodial Hound, Pupdozer, Service Hound (includes a V-4000 version that has a dumb tophat waistcoat and monocle on request.), Supply Hound.
* Added a new CSC Industrial Voidsuit, it is a slightly more resistant version of the engineering voidsuit that has an increased slowdown, and reduced atmospheric/temperature protection. It can be ordered from cargo as the Shipbreaker's Industrial Suit (inc. jetpack), and as it says, comes with a CSC industrial jetpack.
* Animal noms have been moved from the IC tab to the abilities tab.


=2023-05-07=
* Added the options to actually have vore bellies on your character now! You can find them in the visual tab and change the colour in the preferences tab of the vore panel.
* Added a small inset below most items that specify what jobs they're restricted to, if any restrictions are present. Certain items do not show their restrictions if it's obvious from the item name or description (e.g. security uniforms are for security only).
** '''NOTE:''' This change also changed some item names, to remove no-longer-necessary notes on which departments can spawn with those items. This will cause the changed items to disappear from loadouts they were present in; they will need to be readded.
* Changed demon mobs that aren't intended to be used as AI mobs in the fantasy dungeon and jungle to other mobs.
* Updated some TGUI bundles.
* Fixed sleeping mobs (throught the sleeping verb) being unable to wake up.
* Fixed vore bellies being tied to the meson goggles layer (causing glowing white squares over all open spaces).
* Fixed a couple of teshi belted cloaks being under general outerwear rather than in xenowear.
* Fixed cryo UI.
* Fixed crematorium trays not properly being removed in some situations.


* Added three new bird themed markings: Secretary Bird Feathers, eye mask (anime eyes) and leg coverings (nev/rap).
===Additional Update===
* Added a whole bunch of body gloss markings that apply to individual body parts, allowing you to mix and match as suits you, rather than applying it to the full body only.
* Added a new tail called goat legs with tail, colorable.
* Examining the various tesla and singularity components (EB generator, field generator, grounding rod, tesla coil, emitter) will now report their anchored/welded states (as applicable) in text so that you don't have to figure it out by subtle changes to their sprites, by rubbing your face all over them, or by testing them with a wrench/welder.
* Added the shock maul to the list of weapons that mining drones ignore.
* Removed the visible emote from toggling AR hud to bring them in-line with other toggles.
* Removed duplicated Deathbell from the code, which was causing some issues that may have included getting twice as dizzy as intended.
* Removed a bunch of unnecessary punctuation from taste descriptions.
 
=2023-05-01=

* Added a "modern wrapped coat (coat)" option to the loadout that separates it from pants it usually attached to.
* [[Nanite_implant_framework#Medichines_(%E2%82%AE1250)|Synth medichines]] now inform medical when you are dying, giving them a chance to rescue you or inform robotics.
* Fixed altevian clothing not having the buffs and resistances that the human equivalents do.
* Agent IDs now check whether the user is the registered user for the purpose of keeping it's actions subtle. More of an edgecase fix.
 
=2023-04-23=
 
* Shotgun buckshot shells have been changed to fire a spread of projectiles that individually deal damage, instead of a weird pseudo-cluster projectile.
* Added an electromagnetic damage type, which directly damages mobs without also damaging their equipment or causing collateral damage. This is currently unused.
* Donuts with the word "chocolate" in their name now actually contain chocolate as a reagent.
 
=2023-04-20=
 
* Adds new Zaprat parts, electrical themed rodent bits, including: "zaprat ears (dual-color)", "bolt-shaped tail, dual color", "heart-bolt-shaped tail, dual color" and "Cheek Marks".
* Adds a new chocolate allergy [[Traits#Allergies|trait]], which gives you an allergy to all things cocoa.
* Adds a new emote with "*dook", which is a ferret dook.
* It is now possible to make one-way conveyor switches, this is done by wrenching it with it's service panel open.
* Small changes to the stun baton. It now turns off when dropped or otherwise released from the users hand. Fixes an issue that prevented them turning on below a certain charge level even when they had enough charge to be used.
* Cleaned up more instances of certain reinforced windows having massively inflated health pools. Mostly affected Tether Xenobiology wing, but applied to a couple other spots too.
 
=2023-04-16=
 
* Added a new weapon: The Concussion Maul. This heavy sledgehammer-like weapon must be wielded in two hands and charged up for maximum effectiveness, but can deal serious damage and send enemies flying with stunning force. It must be powered with weapon cells and only receives a very limited number of uses per cell. When charged, it can also be used to pulverize mineable rock walls and certain obstacles like grilles and barricades. It can rarely be found in abandoned crates. When used in disarm mode, charged hits gain additional knockback and stun duration. It can't inflict stun or knockback if used one-handed.
* Added two new [[Guide to Chemistry|chemicals]] based off of lipozine, but directly affecting your weight:
** Lipozilase: Drains both your nutrition and your weight directly. Removes 3lb for every 1u under normal conditions. Has a 30u overdose. Made with lipozine and diethylamine.
** Lipostipo: Drains your nutrition and increases your weight directly. Adds 3lb for every 1u under normal conditions. Has a 30u overdose. Made with lipozine, nutriment and fluorine.
* Autohiss can now be set to Full/Basic/None from the character menu, and by default, it is assumed Full. It will respect save/load and client connect/disconnect, meaning you no longer have to constantly toggle autohiss.
* Certain taur bodies now have a specific sitting (loafing) sprite for when using the rest verb.
* Adds the following taur suit sprites for wolftaurs and (original) nagas: Eng/Sec/Med Commonwealth, All departments of Talon/Refurb.
* Preferred Language can now be set. This allows a default spoken language other than Common to be set from spawn, allowing characters to simply join with the language they'd prefer speaking, rather than having to fiddle with "Set Default Language" every time they spawn.
* A new backend option has been added that allows simplemobs to be slowed down, or sped up, when injured. This is by default disabled but could be used in future for mobs made with it in mind.
* Allowed Raptor pAI to recolor 'eyes' (along with other coloured features of it's body).
* Adjustments to Rascal's Pass:
** Fixed all instances of super-tough reinforced windows (mostly in xenobio I think) and restored them to normal health values like all the other r-windows around them
** Fixed some old/misnamed instances of inset disposal units from the pre-auto-resleeving deposit days
** Moves the QM's office over a few tiles to make room for a small storage office with cargo tech job lockers + job clothing vendor
** Shuffles a few things in the QM's office around to account for the change in door layout
** Made the main table in cargo smaller for ease of moving crates around, shoved some of the package wrappers into a wall cabinet, and threw down some yellow 'put crate here' markings.
** Adds a firing range for Security.
** Adds a Thermal Regulator in Engineering.
** Scattered emergency fire lockers around the facility.
** Adds a couple Radiation lockers in engineering.
** A few little tweaks to medical (A sink added in chem, blast shutters, and improved lighting in the triage room and additional seating in the may lobby).
* Adjustments to the Tether:
** Adds Away Team headsets in the Pilots room, and in the prep room.
** Adds a Multi-Tool buffer with Tether telecomms added in the prep room.
* Fixed synths getting drunk from deathbell even without the ethanol simulator trait.
* Fixed simplemobs having a special ID slot to having a normal one. This solves a lot of issues preventing simple mobs with IDs from doing things that they should have been able to do.
* Fixed the new gaiter masks not appearing properly when attached to clothing.
* Fixed some Vox suits from having missing icons in Security.
* Adds PrettyBuild to Tasks for VSCode.
 
=2023-04-10=
 
* Hydroponics trays and soil patches will properly report when they (or their current plants) are overtaken by weeds, rather than saying that the newly-grown weed was overtaken by itself.

* Containment field generators now emit a cool blue glow when actively generating containment fields. The containment fields themselves also emit light.
* Some markings have been ported up from downstream, along with the *roarbark emote.
* Space zones can now have hidden details until scanned, like ships.
* Pizza delivery visors are no longer invisible.
* AR glasses can now toggle their vision panes.
 
=2023-04-02=
 
*Added a Firm Body [[traits|trait]] to positive traits with a cost of 1. This trait prevents the character from taking damage up to a value of 10 from thrown objects. Anything above that will deal full damage.
*[[Unathi]], [[Vasilissans]] and [[Promethean|Prometheans]] have the firm body trait by default. [[Diona]] and [[Zaddat]] have a version that is half as powerful, preventing damage up to a value of 5.
*Tether's security shuttle now works properly.
*New crop jackets are available in loadout. They come in a modest variety of colors.
*Borgs are no longer completely stunned when hit with a Weaken effect (mostly affects dropnom interactions).
*AR HUD icons for security officers, the head of security, and talon guards have all been changed to a shield, rather than a weird lumpy gun.
*Wasp taur sprite improved, added ant taur and fat naga.
*Three new space creatures can appear in space lifesign events! One of them is passive! The other two are not. Have fun!
*Hitting cancel will no longer wipe flavor text or similar inputs.

*Xenomorph eggs have been reworked/overhauled and can be used as ghost pods.
 
=2023-03-26=
 
*Synthmorphs/FBPs have access to two new [[traits]], one of which allows them to gain energy from alcohol, and one of which allows them to actually get drunk (even to the point of blacking out). They do not need to be taken together.
*The Lore Codex name has been updated/corrected.
*Added recolourable demon wings.
*Added 'drone'/synthmorph versions of certain mobs for later POI use.
*Fixed errors with certain hologram sprites, and hologram position offsets.
*Fixed a couple of items being deleted when a promethean blob carrying them is killed.


=2023-03-21=
* Reverted "Fixed sleeping mobs (throught the sleeping verb) being unable to wake up."
* Fixed death no longer working.


*Fixed some issues regarding mob speed that was broken in a previous issue, which changed how cooldowns on steps were calculated. The cooldowns have been modified roughly to fix this and may be tweaked more in future.
=2024-06-30=
*Glowing on spawn now works as intended.
*Fixed a couple of emotes for pAIs.


=2023-03-19=
* Changed a large number of TGUI UIs to use typescript.


*The Welcome menu now displays the active/current map, and the View Game Updates button at the bottom is now a View Changelog button that leads to this page right here!
=2024-06-23=
*Sanitization standards for the character directory and certain other interfaces/displays have been relaxed, so now apostrophes and other symbols should display properly in the character directory. You may need to resubmit/resave your OOC notes and flavour text, and character slot, for this to apply fully.
*Examining weapons and items will display some limited information about their combat effectiveness. This updates dynamically for weapons with multiple states (e.g. telescopic baton, energy sword), and also works for firearms so long as they're loaded.
*The special disposals chute that leads to the Stellar Delight's resleeving bay now functions as intended.
*The Stellar Delight now has proper signs for its Shuttle Bay, rather than generic black-scribble-on-white signs.

*Cowboy boots are no longer implied to be made out of unathi hide.
*Quickchange flooring interaction (hold replacement tile in one hand and replacement tool in other, then click on the tile you want to replace with the replacement tile) now works on alternative platings.
*You can no longer use micros as snowshoes.
*Tether has had some missing pipes made un-missing.
*[Mirror] Sheet storage can now capped based on material types, but restrictions are not (currently) in place.

* AI shells can no longer be renamed using renaming modules from Robotics.
* Alcohol tolerance traits have been refactored under the hood to hopefully work more reliably/consistently. The implementation/effects are otherwise largely the same as before.

This is the same time as the standard inactivity timer. The automatically-applied status will clear as soon as you do anything, unlike the manually-set status.

*Mining drones will now check both of your hands to see if you have any sort of mining weapon. They will also ignore you if you have no weapon at all. However, they will now become hostile if attacked, even by mining equipment.
=2024-05-20=

* Added a selection of four watches which are worn on the hand/glove slot and can be taken via loadouts. The three basic variants (plastic, silver, and gold) simply tell you the station time when examined; the survival watch, if worn, also tells you your current facing direction and the temperature and pressure of the tile you're standing on (if it's simulated). More importantly, however, the survival watch also includes a basic, transmit-only GPS beacon. It is not enabled by default, but you can turn it on by left-clicking on the watch whilst holding down the left alt key.
* Added a new Customizable Permit to loadouts. You can set the name and description to whatever you want. It includes an irremovable disclaimer that it was not issued by NT, is not binding, and does not need to be honoured by security/command.

**It requires empty autoinjectors (made in an autolathe, such as in cargo), and fills it with chemicals.
**Alternatively, you can make autoinjectors on the spot at 3x the cost of making in an autolathe (500->1500 for large, 10->30 for small).
**It can make multiple autoinjectors.
**It can give the autoinjectors custom names.

* Added a new buildmode mode: Drop. Allows objects and mobs to be dropped in from the air. Left click drops them harmlessly, right click drops them very destructively (and will gib things they land on). Mobs that land on another mob with appropriate prefs will drop vore them.

* Added a variable to rubber duckies called "honk_text" that allows it to put an audible message in chat when honked.

** Pillow resprited as exercise mat.

* Added vorespan defines to the chat spans.
* Added some defines upstream, just to prevent compatibility issues in the future, so that no one uses them for something else.

Ghosts can leave the belly simply by moving in any direction.
* Changed pouncing phased shadekin to now cost an additional 1000 charge.
* Changed robot shields to now overload when the power cell has 200 charge remaining instead of fully depleting the robot.

Latest revision as of 07:28, 18 November 2024

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.


2024-11-18

  • Added a whole new TGUI window for borg module selection, which allows the user to easily browse all available module sprites.
  • Added "pro swimmer" trait that costs one point, which increases your movespeed in water (about half as much as aquatic) and reduces time to traverse between water z-levels when swimming.
  • Added search functionality to smart vendors.
  • Added "salvage technician" alt title for engineer. NOTE: This is currently bugged and unselectable, it will be fixed in the next update.
  • Added the ability to grind ores directly for reagents.
  • Added more stack materials to the list of grindable materials.
  • Added the engineering drake borg plushie to cargo's random plushie crate contents.
  • Changed a variety of swimming and climbing related traits:
    • Bad Swimmer makes it take 25% longer to swim up/down.
    • Amateur and Natural Climber reduce ladder/lattice climbing time by 25%.
    • Professional Climber reduces ladder/lattice climbing time by 50%.
    • Tajara and Vasilissans have 25% reduced ladder/climbing time, so they gain the benefit of Amateur Climber.
  • Changed Winged Flight to allow all species to take it.
  • Changed Rings, Watches, Bracelets, and Knuckledusters into Accessories that can be attached to most Gloves. They can still be worn standalone if desired. Rings and knuckledusters will give your gloves a small bump in force/punchforce whilst attached as well.
  • Changed Macrophages to have increased escape chance.
  • Changed the ore satchel so that it will no longer pick up slag.
  • Removed unused buzzer rings.
  • Removed the ability for borgs to upgrade themselves. NOTE: This is planned to be reverted partially in the next update, in which they will only be restricted from resetting their own module.
  • Fixed Virus verbs picking random people.
  • Fixed Pineal Gland Decalcification not working properly.
  • Fixed Misstype on macrophage.dmi.
  • Fixed Macrophages so that they won't dust if someone is inside it's belly.
  • Fixed Various runtimes regarding virus symptoms.
  • Fixed Wrong longer title for one of the virus chemicals.
  • Fixed missing arguments to recursive_content_check().
  • Fixed bracelets to now be worn on your hands/wrists rather than being in the neck slot.
  • Fixed the ghost verb so that it no longer gives the option to aghost to non-staff in some circumstances.
  • Fixed the advanced who verb so that it no longer gives the admin version of the verb to non-staff in some circumstances.

2024-11-10

  • Added an entirely new virology system, which completely replaced the previous Virus2 system that we had.
    • Advance diseases are engineered by virologists, they can range from useful to dangerous.
    • Virologists can use the new chemicals to improve and evolve their viruses.
    • These new viruses can be cured with specific chemicals, as well as the ones made by the virologists.
    • If a virus has been found, you can check the cure with a simple health analyzer, otherwise the PanDEMIC machine will show anything in it.
    • Viruses will be auto-discovered if they reach half or more in it's stages.
  • Added verb ReleaseVirus in the Fun > Event Kit tab. This allows GMs to release a pre-set virus upon someone.
  • Added verb AdminCreateVirus in the Fun > Event Kit tab. This allows GMs to tailor a virus and release it upon someone, all the effects can be picked and the virus may be named as well.
  • Added the ability to choose which type of headset/earpiece your character spawns with in character setup. If the chosen type is not available for your job/role, you will default to another (usually the standard headset).
  • Added a new earbud style radio headset/earpiece, which has no on-character sprite. This is also selectable in character setup.
  • Added an extra button to all station dorms, an emergency door release. This can be pulled by the occupants to immediately unbolt and open the door even if it is unpowered.
  • Adds a contraband scanner machine that scans the contents of mobs that walk over it, and if it detects they're carrying an item matching its internal blocklist, sounds an alarm. The alarm has a short, area-shared cooldown (10 seconds) so you can't spam the sound/text message by walking over the same (or multiple) scanners in rapid succession. They cannot be built and are not currently implemented on any maps, but this will likely change in future.
  • Added new upgraded components for robots to increase their hp up to a total maximum of ~ 370 hitpoints, those components also reduce power costs.
  • Added three varieties of lockpick (one of which is really just an example) for redgate/event usage and getting around locked simple doors without finding their actual key.
  • Added the ability to alt-click a reagent dispenser (such as a water or fuel tank) to open the input. When the input is open, reagent containers (such as buckets and beakers) will pour their contents into the dispenser to refill it.
  • Added ping to status tab.
  • Added "modified" and "non-standard" variants of the hacktool, which have different sprites to make them more obvious. The non-standard also starts in hackmode. The modified version can be found in abandoned crates, and are slightly more common than the fully disguised hacktool.
  • Added a new dark variant of the squish hammer that breaks every bone in the targets body and shoots out blood.
  • Added a simple claw hammer weapon. Strong melee weapon that easily breaks down windows and barricades, but also has a high chance of breaking any bones that it hits.
  • Added 4 new props based on the old virology machines for decoration.
  • Removed the redundant name/desc customize proc from the plain choker (just use name/desc gear tweaks instead).
  • Changed the cache directory to cache instead of tmp.
  • Changed power cells to initialize.
  • Changed vending machines to initialize.
  • Changed the hacker contraband set to come with the modified multitool.
  • Changed the modified multitool variant to sometimes spawn in abandoned crates slightly more often at a slightly lower cost, as it's more obvious as contraband.
  • Fixed a bug causing healing to be 100x more effective than intended.
  • Fixed the vore panel belly description overflowing if it is too long.
  • Fixed ghostjump.
  • Fixed runtime in cmd_admin_z_narrate.
  • Fixed missing sprite for digi footwraps.
  • Fixed a crash when opening the panel without being inside a belly.
  • Fixed non-staff being able to view the ahelp ticket panel.

  • Added the ability for borgs to choose their light colour.
  • Added a new admin smite to the player effects panel: Item Transformation. This allows the admin to pick an object to transform the player into. They can transform back using OOC Escape.

  • Added a few guard_limit variants of existing AI holder types, particularly for mercs.
  • Changed water coolers to now hold 2000u of water instead of 120u. Their jugs are also made of plastic instead of glass, incur heavy slowdown, and cannot be placed into bags and most reagent dispensers.
  • Changed the focus on tabs to allow scrolling immediately.
  • Changed Atmospherics to now use /Initialize instead of /New.
  • Removed the ability to deploy helmets over headwear due to bugs associated with it.

  • Fixed an issue where when the stellar delight was loaded, that other maps would not be tested in the compiler.

2024-09-07

  • Added a new whitelist species, the Hanner. These are the half-offspring of Lleill and share a small number of their abilities. Notably, they are shapeshifters, can drain energy from consenting people, can do basic alchemy and can transform into beasts. This species can be a crewmember if they have been approved for the whitelist via a special character application.
  • Added an entirely new Game Options system to game for non-vore prefs, replacing the majority of the options in the preferences tab and switches in the global tab with a new TGUI window.
  • Added a small chance of finding potion materials in maint loot (pretty rare), to allow a little more consistent use of the alchemy ability for lleill, rather than relying on redgates alone.

  • Changed prometheans to allow the use of teshari and vox icon bases.
  • Changed default AI laws to use the map's default instead of hardcoded NT laws. Default is NT laws.

2024-09-04

  • Added a spiked wristband accessory to loadout and vending machines.
  • Added new verbs to the EventKit tab: "Map Message - Create", which spawns a new red admin environmental message, this one does not delete other messages placed by the user, allowing GMs to place as many as they want.

  • Changed public teleporter sprites make them easier to use by filling them with a transparent layer.
  • Changed research samples to have a more useful description, and are now safer to handle (container still advised) with voidsuits but can have other effects besides just burning your hands.

  • Fixed AdminPM rights so that only active staff can view confidential conversations.

2024-09-01

  • Added Fears and Phobia traits, which cause your character to gain Panic when exposed to certain things (e.g. spiders), which makes you less accurate with ranged attacks, cause you to auto-emote, and sometimes drop any items you're holding. Citalopram and Paroxetine can be used to counteract its effects.
  • Added Spice Smites. Be careful what you wish for when you hit that Request Spice button!
  • Added robotic digitigrade leg options. Also requires the appropriate digitigrade setting to avoid clothes looking weird, of course.

  • The Hacktool can now open locked crates and lockers, and can sometimes be found as one of the item sets in the NULL contraband crate.

2024-08-26

  • Added research samples, for research, to be found in explorable locations. Collect them using special sample containers (found in mining and xenoarch closets, and mining and exploration points vendors), then analyze them or reduce them into useful resources! Or just put them on a table and use them as a conversation piece.
  • Added a new goofy looking vore mob, the Meowl.
  • Added "random corporate supply" and contraband "special corporate supply" crates to cargo terminals; the former mostly has harmless stuff, whilst the latter can spawn all sorts of stuff from the random pool but can also include weapons (rarely). The special corporate supply crate is cheaper than the NULL contraband crate, but is far less likely to provide useful or valuable equipment.
  • Added battery names to the cell charger rack.
  • Added a check to ranged LOOC to only broadcast them to active staff.
  • Added a check to the ahelp ticket panel to only allow active staff to view them.
  • Added new "full lid" 'decal' option for crates. Only used on the new coyote salvage corp crate style, for now.

  • Changed the scel to attempt to eat people who have digestion turned off, as it has the selective belly mode on anyway.
  • Changed the supply spawning behaviour slightly, so crates are no longer mandatory. As an example of this, gas canisters and the cargo tug no longer arrive in crates.
  • Changed supply consoles to start tracking orders at 0 (so the first order is order 1, etc.) rather than a random number between 1 and 9000
  • Fixed the electric guitar not working.
  • Fixed supply console scrolling not working.
  • Fixed the random pizza pack crate, it now comes with the pizza delivery outfit and visor, deleting a duplicate pizza supply pack that was inaccessible anyway due to not having a defined name or container.

  • Research equipment is now properly disconnected from the network when the main R&D console is dismantled.
  • Engineering armbands can be acquired from appropriate vendors.
  • No more chat messages about winding up to throw or being ready to catch when you hit the throw key.
  • Fixes for AI Holospeak always being multi-Z and not showing the AI's name.
  • An unarmoured version of the Martian Miner coat can be taken in loadouts. The armoured version can still be found in abandoned crates.
  • Reagent Dispensers now have a per-round, per-machine macro system, for faster and easier mixing. Applies to all reagent dispensers; alcohol, soda, you name it. Mostly useful for chemistry.
  • Fixed species/custom blood colours being overwritten back to default red. Your chosen/current blood colour also displays as a small coloured circle on the colour selection button.
  • Electrical storms are now much more likely to affect an area, but have only a 25% chance to destroy all of its lights. Most of the time, it will just make them all flicker. Spooooooky!
  • Assorted fixes from downstream:
    • Certain items can no longer spawn in lootpiles if they were only intend to spawn on mapload, and the temp item spawners will clean themselves up properly.
    • Many more objects can now be rotated CCW (as well as CW).

  • General Jump vendors now include all basic utility uniforms (green, navy, black, grey, tan). Big D's Best includes associated jackets (and patchless variants).
  • Black holsters are available from Security vendors, and in the holster selector. Machete scabbards, KA holsters, and sword sheathes are no longer in the holster selector.

  • Xenoarch effects will no longer edit all items of their parent type, only the specific item.
  • Miscellaneous adjustments and improvements to TGUI windows.

  • Added a new "speckled leather" wing type.

2024-07-28

  • Added significant changes to the Lleill species. This species is admin spawn only and will remain that way, but is now generally more balanced for people to use. The ability for regular players to play these on request will likely only be granted after the lore document for them is posted to the wiki:
    • Added an energy system for some Lleill abilities (invisibility, transmutation and teleportating to rings).
    • Added ways to restore that energy. There are now two ways, either 75 energy every 10 minutes from rings, or by taking energy from another creature that consents to it.
    • Added a glamour gasmask/helmet option for Lleill to use for breathing outside of the tether.
    • Added a variant of the nudity permit of Lleill to use for storing items.
    • Added an alchemy ability to allow Lleill to do alchemy without using an alembic. Not very useful but very flavorful.
    • Added two new Lleill ears and two new Lleill tails.
    • Changed glamour rings to allow them to be destroyed by either the Lleill or another character. The Lleill is notified who has destroyed their rings (for fae antics).

    • Fixed the formatting of the glamour shard item name.
    • Fixed cancelling the glamour face ability spawning faceless homunculus.

    • Fixed speaking glamour to translate from glamour speak.
  • Added new patchless military jacket variants.

  • Fixed an error in the shuttle UI preventing sensors from being shown when they should.
  • Fixed Bluespace Crackers being able to be used more than once by sending multiple prompts to a target.

2024-07-21

  • You can now use OOC Escape when inside food to get out of it, in the rare event that Resist isn't working and for general consistency purposes.
  • Ported a bunch more clothing options.
  • Added Mega Nukies, super energy drinks that can sometimes be found in maint. They can offer unique temporary effects, but there may be undesirable consequences!
  • Added Monster Bait, an item that can be used to cause voremobs to pounce you without having to actually aggress/harm them.
  • Updated the description of butterfly nets to more clearly imply they can be used to catch micros.
  • Increased the height of the Welcome window to remove the scrollbar after roundstart.
  • Various standard-issue voidsuits now have opt-in helmet cameras linked to appropriate networks.

2024-07-14

  • Fixed Teshari stomachs show up properly.
  • Fixed Unathi stomachs show up properly.
  • Ported a few other belly fixes from ChompStation.

2024-07-08

  • Added butterfly nets. These nets can be wafted across a tile, much like a fishing net, to catch butterflies (and people of scale 50% and below)! Using them on themselves either drops the contents, or if the inactive hand is empty, pulls out the contents into the free hand. They can be crafted from cloth, found in the botanists locker, or rarely found in maintenance.
  • Added new hotkey mode combinations for resting. Ctrl+U now always rests to the right, whilst Shift+U always rests to the left. These can also be used with the Rest-Left and Rest-Right verbs in the command bar.
  • Changed an airlock from the exploration preperation room into maintenance on the SD from a glass airlock to a hatch airlock.
  • Fixed RD console crashing on state changes (such as when the destructive analyser is used).

  • Added the options to actually have vore bellies on your character now! You can find them in the visual tab and change the colour in the preferences tab of the vore panel.
  • Added a small inset below most items that specify what jobs they're restricted to, if any restrictions are present. Certain items do not show their restrictions if it's obvious from the item name or description (e.g. security uniforms are for security only).
    • NOTE: This change also changed some item names, to remove no-longer-necessary notes on which departments can spawn with those items. This will cause the changed items to disappear from loadouts they were present in; they will need to be readded.
  • Changed demon mobs that aren't intended to be used as AI mobs in the fantasy dungeon and jungle to other mobs.
  • Updated some TGUI bundles.
  • Fixed sleeping mobs (throught the sleeping verb) being unable to wake up.
  • Fixed vore bellies being tied to the meson goggles layer (causing glowing white squares over all open spaces).
  • Fixed a couple of teshi belted cloaks being under general outerwear rather than in xenowear.
  • Fixed cryo UI.

  • Fixed death no longer working.

2024-06-30

  • Changed a large number of TGUI UIs to use typescript.

2024-06-23

  • Added visible belly overlays, along with an array of options in the vorepanel to modify them individually for each belly. These can be toggled off on the viewers end, using the "Toggle Stomach Sprites" verb in preferences or in the VORE section of character setup.
    • NOTE: This feature has some bugs that are being ironed out, such as not working ingame and requiring another update to make them visible in the vore panel.
  • Instrument synthesizer now allows decimal values for sustained notes, not just whole numbers.
  • Small fixes to NIF ownership states.
  • Clothing/wearables now shows their exact minimum and maximum safe temperature and pressure ratings (if any) when examined, in Kelvin and kPa respectively. This is only really applicable to full-body suits like voidsuits or firesuits.

  • Fixed a mis-configured door between SD maint and exploration prep.
  • Fixes for lavender seeds and their icons (again).
  • Fixes for the Set Volume verb not working properly.
  • You can now spin bottles when they're on the floor! They'll end up pointing in a random direction every time.
  • Sizeguns can be made unstable using wirecutters; in this mode, they gain a 50% chance to backfire and resize the user instead. This consumes all remaining power in the cell though. It is reversible by using wirecutters on them again.
  • AI shells can no longer be renamed using renaming modules from Robotics.
  • Alcohol tolerance traits have been refactored under the hood to hopefully work more reliably/consistently. The implementation/effects are otherwise largely the same as before.
  • Medical patches (made using a chemmaster) now transfer loaded reagents directly to the bloodstream, allowing them to be used with more reagents as opposed to being restricted to only those that have touch effects.
  • Survival watches now return the light level of the tile you're on, if it's bright enough to see.
  • Bluespace crackers have been added! They can cause all kinds of weird things to happen to whoever "wins" the pull. Some of them may be rigged. Presets of each type/outcome also exist for mapping/adminspawn purposes.
  • An enhanced version of the venomous bite trait has been made available. On top of the standard numbing enzyme, it now has new options such as a paralytic agent, amongst other things.
  • Some TGUI fixes for buttons that might have been misbehaving.

2024-06-16

  • Fixed an exploit that allowed to circumvent the size limit outside of dorms / large size boundary areas.

  • Added a mostly fully featured mini chemlab to the main hall on the testmap, for quickly testing reagent creation and effects.
  • Changed the Sleep verb to now make your character snooze until you use the verb again, instead of knocking you out for a couple of minutes and then needing to be flipped again.
  • Fixed Adranol to work as intended and actually clear your jitters properly, albeit just under twice as fast as it clears normally.
  • Fixed timer issue due to a wrong assumption of decisecond intervals, but it's seconds; also back to allow up to 10 minutes.
  • Fixed lavender using an non-existing seed icon.
  • Fixed accidental inclusion of TG subfolder.

2024-05-26

  • Added a Toggle Automatic AFK setting and verb, which default to on. When enabled, you will automatically get an AFK icon above your head when you have been inactive for ten minutes. This is the same time as the standard inactivity timer. The automatically-applied status will clear as soon as you do anything, unlike the manually-set status.
    • Manually marking yourself as AFK will also show you as "Away From Keyboard for (x) minutes" when examined, rather than the default "Inactive for (x) minutes".
  • Added books to the option of trash eater edible items.
  • Added an option for admins to add and remove songs to the jukebox for the duration of the round.
  • Added a simple "antag" role for event characters generally. Simply gives event characters the ability to use AOOC without having a persistent antag icon next to their sprite.
  • Added access code 511 for lost / gravekeeper drones, in case they need specific access.
  • Added lost drone ability to now can re-roll their laws 5 times before selecting a module.

  • Fixed a bug where the entire emag list was re-added instead of the single, new item on borg HUD refreshes.

2024-05-20

  • Added a verb under the IC tab that toggles off an overhead 'AFK' indicator, so you can easily mark yourself as such if you need to hop up and run to the bathroom or something!

  • Added a Contaminant Detector HUD. Advanced janitorial gameplay tool. Helps spot any cleanable dirt much easier with helpful popups on HUD. Available from loadout, janitor closet, janitor supply crates, janitor vending machine, science and as a tool for borg. Comes in prescription variant (but not aviator or eyepatch).
  • Added a selection of four watches which are worn on the hand/glove slot and can be taken via loadouts. The three basic variants (plastic, silver, and gold) simply tell you the station time when examined; the survival watch, if worn, also tells you your current facing direction and the temperature and pressure of the tile you're standing on (if it's simulated). More importantly, however, the survival watch also includes a basic, transmit-only GPS beacon. It is not enabled by default, but you can turn it on by left-clicking on the watch whilst holding down the left alt key.
  • Added a new Customizable Permit to loadouts. You can set the name and description to whatever you want. It includes an irremovable disclaimer that it was not issued by NT, is not binding, and does not need to be honoured by security/command.
  • Added variations of one hairstyle, ported from novastation, for all your emo needs: gloomy bangs! Comes in short, mid and long variants, hides eyes.
  • Added in-hand sprites for rubber duckies.
  • Added separate LOOC and OOC muting to allow admins some more control about it.
  • Added a Generic Item and associated Eventkit verb Spawn Generic Item. Much like the Generic structure but is designed for hand held devices that can be picked up.
  • Added a bunch of options for effects to the Generic Item and Generic Structure: Sparks, Flash, Flicker Lights and Spawn Item.
  • Added the ability to upload custom sprites to both Generic Item and Generic Structure, by selecting "Upload Own Sprite" from the list of sprites, along with some warnings that non 32x sprites will need to have their positions adjusted.
  • Added a few quick and simple prop sprites for the items verb to choose from, including a mix of new ones and some others from throughout the game.
  • Changed Belly Item Mode: Digest (Food) to not digest robotic body parts such as prosthetic limbs. These can still be digested using the Item Mode: Digest.
  • Changed some text in the Vey-Medical lore codex.
  • Fixed Digestion Pain preference not loading from saved preferences, causing it to reset every shift.
