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.

• MAJOR: Updated the server from byond 514 to 515. Be aware that there are bugs occuring for users after this transition that cause some people to experience issues with the UI. We advise people who are experiencing problems to try the following: Use the 514 byond client. Clear your byond cache. Clear your internet explorer cache (IE is used to display many TGUI elements). Restart your computer after clearing either cache, temporary files may cause problems.

  • Dentistry tools that don't really do anything, but act as fluff.
  • Pillow resprited as exercise mat.
  • Dumbbell that can be used to exercise.

• Added Teshari Face Mask from chompstation.
• Added Facial protection to the mask.
• 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.

This allows them to be see the belly text still, be carried around and can even be moved between bellies (such as moved along with everything else to intestines, etc), or hear a final subtled message. 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.
