GEMP Patch Notes

[TelTura]

I will attempt to remember to post here every time an update is pushed to Gemp, so that there is a place for discussion on TLHH about recent changes.  Old patch notes can be found on the Server Info -> GEMP Change Log tab.

New GEMP update!  The game hall chat can now be shrunk for those of you on smaller screens, and we've added right-click as an option for zooming in on cards. 

Full patch notes:

- Revamped several back-end systems to be hot-reloadable. What this means is, any future changes to formats, packs, draft or sealed events, or card definitions can all be pushed and updated without requiring a server restart, even mid-game. Certain bugfixes should be deployed much faster now!

- Major overhaul to the sealed event and pack definition systems; look out for new Sealed event types coming soon!

- Added a resize handle to the chat window in the game hall so it can be manually resized.

- Added right-click as an alternative to shift+click when zooming in on cards; no more shaky shift fingers causing misclicks!

- Adjusted the text color for system announcements so it's more readable

- Updated the hall UI to use the latest version of JQuery.

- Added a favicon to the site and revamped window titles.

- Fixed game chat (and more rarely hall chat) not scrolling all the way to the bottom when first connecting.

- Fixed chat message links not opening in a new tab

- Improved log accessibility

Whoops, I haven't been keeping up in here.  Have some patch notes!

2022 November 02

COLLECTION SYSTEM OVERHAUL
- major back-end rewrite of the collection system, which is now stored in the database properly
- As a result, collections can now be modified if errors occur
- Thus, the Isildur/Gimli snafu has finally been repaired, and 4x copies of each card have been issued to the correct players.  Anyone who put the Gimli Masterwork into a deck should check and make sure it's not Isildur.
- Added *tons* of logging to all operations.  As a result, mysterious bugs are now far easier to track down for the future.
- Improved the ability for moderators to track suspicious league cheaters



2022 November 03
- Fixed some players not being able to create tables
- Fixed player gold count being incorrect; added 200 to everyone's totals for the trouble (not that it matters)
- Fixed decks with foil or tengwar cards not showing up properly in the deck sharing view



2022 November 04 - Hobbit Fixes by Phallen
- The Hobbit's "Bilbo, Master of Riddles" is now properly strength +2 when skirmishing Smaug
- Added "The Hobbit Draft Game" to the game hall, which allows decks to be constructed for The Hobbit across all of its expansions
- "The Hobbit Draft Game" is also available in the deckbuilder to properly validate decks in the format
- Added remaining cultures for The Hobbit to the deckbuilder, and set them to only appear when "The Hobbit Sets" or one of its expansions is selected



2022 November 04
- Fixed the merchant not permitting the purchasing of foils
- Fixed the merchant requiring you to do everything twice for it to register
- Fixed various errors in merchant operations



2022 November 07
- Fixed a typo in the prompt given to a player for Rivendell Gateway (V1_59).  The behavior hasn't changed, just what prompt is displayed for the user.



2022 November 09
- Fixed a crash occurring when a sealed event attempted to issue its product for a new serie.  As a result, the ongoing Towers Sealed event accidentally issued the BOHD product again; since it was a few hours late I just left it.

2022 November 10
- Fixed the following cards having faulty images
   - Depart Silently (3C31) (added "until the regroup phase" to the strength clause)
   - Worn Battleaxe (13C102) (added "Bearer must be a man")
   - Rider's Bow (13U135) (fixed the item class being "Ranged" instead of "Ranged Weapon")
   - Doors of Durin (13U190) (removed the unnecessary "until the regroup phase" clause)
   - Grieving the Fallen (15U81) (changed to "Bearer must be a companion (except the Ring-bearer)")
   
The behavior of these cards has not changed, we have just altered the image to match what was already coded.  This is Decipher's fault and not ours; they failed to update the images on their website to match the actual prints.
