All updates

Version 0.20.0

Breaks compatibility
  • The Polis window is rebuilt: deeper panels, clearer buttons, and every greyed-out button now tells you why.
  • The Court handles complaints and nothing else; the Council and Wanted have pages of their own, and your profile opens from the card at the foot of the sidebar.
  • The Council is a hemicycle of the judges' faces: hover a seat to see how long they have served and how many cases they heard.
  • Wanted shows at a glance who you are in a hunt, with a poster for every renegade: the bounty, the time left and a rough direction, never coordinates.
  • Player faces appear across the window, and a name leads to that player's profile.

The client has to be updatedThis release changed the pack, and a client older than it is turned away at the door. Update the pack in the launcher before you next join.

The full list of changes

A new window

  • Nine sections on the sidebar: Notifications, Contracts, Groups, Land, Market and Assets above the line; Court, Council and Wanted below it. Keys 1 to 9 open them, 0 opens your profile.
  • Assets holds your coins and your storage in one place; the public archive is a tab of Contracts; the guide opens from the ? in the header or with F1, at the page about the section you are in.
  • The replies to what you do are kept under Notifications, in Your actions.
  • Empty pages say what would put something there and offer the next step.

Council and Wanted

  • The Council draws every seat on an arc, with the quorum marked. Candidates show their share of the votes, and your vote is marked on the one you backed.
  • Wanted opens with a banner saying whether you are hunted, owed a debt, a reaper, or not in any hunt, with the action that fits right beside it: hunt openly, forgive a debt, place a bounty.
  • Every renegade has a poster with the bounty, the rung, whom they killed, how long the hunt has left and, if you may see it, how far and which way their search area lies.
  • Forgiving a blood-debt now asks whom you forgive and asks you to confirm.

Profiles

  • Your profile collects your reputation, coins, storage, land, court record, standing in the hunt, time on the council and milestones, and every tile leads to its section.
  • Anybody's profile shows only what the registry makes public: never their balance or their storage, and never how a judge voted.
  • The Players tab lists everybody the registry knows, online first, with a search.

Everyday screens

  • Groups: the treasury, land and contracts as tiles, members with faces and ranks, and leaving or disbanding kept apart from everything else.
  • Market: your orders are cards with a fill bar and their own cancel button; clicking an order no longer cancels it. The black market board is always there, and says where it opens.
  • Land: the panel leads with who holds the ground and says the rest in labels: closed to you, a road and its fare, for sale, pledged. A debt shows how close the ground is to becoming derelict.
  • Bank: the counter always shows your balance, the recipient is picked from a list, and autopay has a tab of its own. Storage is a grid of slots.
  • Notifications are grouped into what needs you, what is happening now, today and earlier; contracts are filtered by one row of tabs with counts.

Fixes

  • Stepping off a toll road onto open ground no longer crashes the client.
  • Every click sounds once, not twice.
  • The tax a city's land line quotes is the figure its treasury is actually charged.
  • Every text in the window was rewritten in plain words, in both languages, with one name for one thing.

Updating

  • The client must update: the connection changed. The launcher updates it for you.
