api access suggestions · · 22 likes


1. Any faction member should be able to get the basic faction data; list of members.for their own faction without special access from leader.

2. Basic query on a player should show what faction they are in (readable by all players).

These would allow (to someone who gathered the API data regularly and kept and graphed it) watching a faction-mates grow in level and crime count -- or not (i.e. spot the slackers).

3. Confirmation messaging - Someone provides an API key to a site (hypotheticaly torntabulous.info) delegating to that site the collection of API data on behalf of the user ... the site doesn't know now that it received the API key from the owner and not from someone else who has it. A form message could be sent to the player in-game (obviously different from mail): Dear cockroach, torntabulous.info got your API key from 10.9.8.7 for use in job stats collection please press Good (if you shared the apikey) or Bad (if not).

Items such as "1mw Laser" (there are other numbers beside 1) should be mW (small m, capital W) for milliwatt.

My physics degree was not wasted.

cash flow records · · 41 likes

If I am sent cash by someone I get an event. It would be good to have an event also when I send cash as it would help track when loans have been repaid.

Speaking from ignorance of the architectural details ... could it help if there were serverless scalable cloud threads dealing with attacks and they only touched the DB when the attack is complete?

This runs continually on Firefox but seems correct on chrome.
This has been seen and fixed a long time ago.

Torn has several kinds of cake but not this one.  (it taste so nice)

 

Maybe having a cake could help you get off some crime.

I had the page open while logged out because after restarting the browser torn regards me as logged out - but firefox opens the same pages as before.

How do I paste a screenshot on here playing mobile · · 1 like

What I've done is post my screenshot as an image upload on my profile.

Then take a link to that and include it in my latest bug description.

 

I used laptop rather than mobile but I think that will still work.

Using your profile images for your screenshot avoids hosting on an external site.

Obviously you can't do this with sensitive info as others could see it.

Seen today on firefox (10.3.0 up to date on SuSE Linux), bug does not seem to affect chrome.

 

A mission target that needs attacking has the actions blocked.

When I mouseover actions the text above changes to "The actions are not available.  Please login".

I used to be in FTW and leader Wayeewooo didn't drop the DB on us because he couldn't find it.

There was a hilarious forum thread with him struggling to remember where it was and whether he lent it to the co-leader.
