[edit] Server & client updates! Thu, 01/22/2009[3]
[edit] GUI Enhancements/Fixes:
- Port Manager
- Added a "heals remaining" counter. Turn it on in the Columns menu. Actually fixed the heals remaining too ;)
- It no longer refreshes every time you make a change on the port manager. How sexy is that.
- Tabs turn red when the health of any port is < 95%

- Fixed the context menu to show appropriate content depending on what you have installed.
- Note field now asks if you want to replace the existing note with the name of the installed application.
- Replacing an application asks if you're sure, and warns that it'll be permanently removed from you hard drive.

- Cards now show their current value and their max value for each attribute. No more curious puppies.
- Watch Manager no longer refreshes every time you change a value. Usability++.
- Log Messages now show the date and time.
- Added Ali to the UGOP network map. He was lonely. Now he's amongst friends.
- "Sell all" button for selling to the store.

- Web Browser
- Store is bigger in web pages.
- All commodity slips now show up in your store.
- Mousing over links changes the cursor.
[edit] Game play fixes/enhancements:
- Fixed heal cost issues (some of you may have noticed that your heal cost "discount" wasn't working properly, no longer fear Heal Cost and/or Rate cards.)
- Fixed heal rate issues (who noticed that their rate wasn't behaving as expected? Well, it's fixed.)
- Switch firewall was not switching the port ownership correctly, so attacking firewalls would return damage to the wrong port. No longer!
- Time-out of an attack now cancels the attack (therefore, when your attack times out, both your and your opponents port health will go back to 100)
- "Peek at code" removed for HTTP. No longer fear that your hard-work will be overwritten.
- You now get attack XP for the damage that you do prior to firewall damage (this should scale better as you level up, and encourage high-level players to attack higher-level NPCs)
- You now get the remainder of the commodity an NPC has if you weaken it before collecting all the commodities.
- Fixed the issues with players not unloading. Your cards won't degrade nearly as quickly when you're offline. Server restarts will be faster. Huzzah!
- Low-level NPCs now stop attacking you back when you stop attacking them.
- Updated some Game Messages
- Incorrect wording for redirect messages (you WERE redirecting from a redirect port, not attacking a shipping port ;))
- Added the name of the hardware purchased to the Game Message you receive when you purchase hardware. And it tells you that it's installed when you buy it. We love you.
- Added the name of the file you purchased to the files you get from FTP hacking.
