This is going be a long process. So I am releasing it for testing for admins and other people who request access. I will keep a rolling log of changes. For the people who have access.... Please test the new features and bug fixes. I have been busy and half assed the testing so I am using the community to get it out earlier. Here is the log.

Chopping beds with sledges
If you click a tree without an axe and equip it after clicking, it will still chop it and display the emote
I clicked iceball after chopping a tree and it didn't fire, then I found I couldn't sleep until firing a successful iceball

Could I have access? I'd like to help test and stuff :3

Same here

Ditto.

All of the above. Besides Smash's post.

I would also, like to take part in this. I will search out all the bugs, for a good cause.

Added new testers

The Build delay looks like it will help, but it needs to be a bit longer, it's still pretty easy to build on the run. The delay on picking crops is pretty good though.

The new mages look pretty good but the magic is a bit buggy. You can use whatever spell whenever you want even at 0 sleep and it still won't put you to sleep until you've waited for the couplt seconds for sleep to go down. Icebolt's icon isn't working as you stated. Meteor works in templar island and can destroy water and the moat.

Copying things is still not working, you can copy changed mobs and turfs, but objects change back to their origional icons, states and names.

Animal bugs are fixed. I sigh of relief.

I could tame a goat as a mage with a trap but couldn't command it after that. I couldn't command them after trapping them as a hunter either.

You can still chop trees while camouflaged, but you can't move after chopping. If you dig a path then camouflage, you can tree-move glitch. When you die as a tree, your icon is still a black square. Animals still don't aproach you while comouflaged, I'm not sure if they are suposed to. Animals eat anything a square away, even not on something dense, so they will eat anything next to them while they are trapped.

When killing animals from a distance with magic or arrows, you still get the hide and meat....
When picking up an object someone is pulling, and they take a step, It will re-appear behind whoever was pulling it

Case of light should be luminous.. It is made of light yes?

Same as deiter, command would not work


I blunt myself with a club, and the server crashes

That didn't happen yesterday.

I have no idea how it happened, I was wearing a black mage hat,
Spawned a club and equiped it
Blunted myself
The server then said noon was here
And it crashed

Would the mage hat have the magic stat thing and it bugs something up with blunt? or was the crash something else entirely.

The first one is intended.

The second one, Fred and I tested yesterday.

Third one is meh.

Fourth one is reported.

Fifth one, there must be another variable. That proc has one line of code change.

Figured out fifth one

If you use camo and then go back to human, its impossible to pick plants.

No, If blunted while camoing, then you uncamo, You cannot

Could i test the new updated version of Cow RP please?

Animals ignore all food, regardless of where it is. Also, it is impossible to tame animals

Tame is fixed. The other one works fine.

Kon had Infi Hp, I hit him, Server Crash
Just something that might need to be fixed

How about an DamageImmune
and maybe a SleepImmue, HungerImmue

These wouldnt let your HP, Sleep, Or hunger Decrease
Admin only Vars.

HP, Hunger, Sleep cannot be edited above 999.

999 lasts me most rounds for hunger and sleep.

Also I am done for tonight.

I would like to be a tester for lez server Sirz.

Lieutenant Shad reporting for lez dooties! :O

Can I be a tester please?

Animals will go back and forth between foods if there are two near them, and only eat it when there are no players around, I'm not quite sure if this is the case, I put a pig between two pieces of corn and it at the one closest when I went out of it's view for a moment and ran away.

Edit: I put a pig between two pieces of corn that had one tile between them, the pig refused to eat while I was there, but when I went GM ghost it ate them both.

It still doesn't say the food the animal ate when you feed them.

If you use meteor while in the sky/upstairs, it turns things into dirt. Even though your in the sky.

Something wrong with passing out: Tried to use meteor at 5 sleep and it just went black, it didn't give me the to cast, click turf script, it just went black and refused to bring my sleep up. I clicked sleep a few times to get it to wake up and it sleep glitched, making it skyrocket. When I awoke, the spell was ready.
You can sleep, use magic, sleep, repeat, to sleep glitch too.

Sometimes when you click a spell, it doesn't show the icon, but it still fires the projectile and uses sleep.

Churn chopping worked but I think 10 str is a bit much.

- Some of the verbs lag, such as GMghost and Teleporting, when you are in one of the temples or upstairs.

- After using GMghost, I could not interact with things, such as trying to cut down a wall.

- If you spam click a tree, it show an emote saying: (So-and-So) chops the tree! along with the norm tree-cutting emote.

- You can use non-alphabetical leters such as numers, /, \, etc. to name yourself.

- Build a wall over a tilled dirt tile with a shovel in your hands. You will build the wall, and then it will cover itself in dirt. Also, you can till and grow crops on a dirt tile that has a hole on it.



Really, everything else seems fine. I have suggestions for certain things, but there doesn't to seem to be any 'problems' with... anything?

While leg shackled, chopping trees lets you move.

Shackles, specifically leg shackles, are really messed up, I don't know what happened but I assume it's the dragging leg shackles onto Darwin 3 times before it completed, It brings up the drop thing and makes me drop 1 but keep the three I had, so it creates extra shackles? and it didn't leg shackle Darwin, and I don't think I can anymore.

As a GMghost, you can't drop items.

Meteor looks kinda funny, the icon has a bit too little on it (Too much blank space to look like a meteor hit the area.).

Sorry if you guys still don't like 4shared... it likes me a lot: D98/Ingame_suggestions.dmi

You can, they're just invisible. The invisibility var of items you drop has the same value as yours.

Meteor can destroy portals.

I changed my see invisible variable but still couldn't find the objects dropped :/

Could I test in the server? I could just look for bugs and stuff. I will just try everything it has to offer.

Hi. I'm a fairly new player to the game, but I'd still love to be able to test the new version if I could please?

When GM Copying items with their icons changed they don't keep the changed icon when you make another.

Edit: Apparently when I change the icon of an object i.e. clothes, trees, it won't keep the changed icon when GM copied, it works fine with turfs, but not with objects.

-Bugs-
Can still pull items out of players who picked it up, If you open the pull verb before they pick it up, you can pull it out of them.

Not much of a bulding delay, Still pretty easy to spam walls while running.

If you dig at grass, then spawn a wall as you are digging there. The dirt will delete the wall and spawn itself.

Churns have to much durability...

Meteor will not destroy crops

Can engrave a sign from across the map

If you begin to read a book and drop it, you will aquire the spells, and the book will delete itself.
BUT, if someoen picks it up right after you drop it, and clicks it before it deletes, you can both learn the spells

Can pump a churn from a distance, and If you are dead.
Can open a trap door if you are dead.

-Possible Bugs-
Someone starves to death while on a horse, the horse is taken away or killed, and the player is still on an invis horse

-Generall Upgrades-
A var for portals for if you want NPCs to be able to enter/exit them

That's why most SRPs are too hard to do right now. Been like this sence Warren stopped hosting. You can still copy turfs and mobs that have been changed, but objects will return icons, states, and names back to their original.

[Edit: Copying plants also messes up.]

[Edit: Might be more complicated, but a delay on boats of almost a second would keep people from glitching them as well.]

I don't know why but animals just won't get caught in traps or eat food, still testing.

Edit: nvm, admin spawned animals are the ones who don't eat/get trapped
