Patch Notes: Notice Board overhaul, word filter, profile and wallet

One Notice Board per town

  • Towns with three or more bulletin boards no longer show two or three Notice Boards. Each town has one: the board nearest the town's middle. The other boards are Daggerfall's rumour boards again, as they are offline. Bounty Boards are unchanged.
  • The Notice Board now says "Notice Board" when you point at it.

Easier to read

  • Notes stand straight, the text is larger, and anything written on the cork sits on a dark panel.
  • On a phone the tab row scrolls sideways, so Guilds and Seat can be reached.
  • Tabs show counts: new notes on Notices, and open writs on Work once you've looked at it.
  • Notices shows town and server news first, then players' notes.
  • Work shows "Court writs today" at the top instead of under the last card.

Market

  • Views are grouped: Buy (Materials, Crafted, Auctions, Goods), Sell (Orders, My listings), then History.
  • Your silver is shown at the top, and listings have column names.
  • The Weavers' and Apothecaries' counters are folded under one "Suppliers" line.
  • My listings is split into the List form, your listings, auctions, bids and buy orders. Form fields are labelled (a stall's "Put up a piece" form too), and the List button is full size again.
  • The Vendors list has the same column names.

Faster

  • The Notice Board's window now downloads in the background after the game starts, so it is usually ready the first time you open it.
  • The Market starts loading as soon as the board opens.
  • The Seat tab loads its standings and works at the same time.

Guild war (Seat tab)

  • Split into panels: the Charter, This week (Muster, Reckoning, Turning), the battle, Standings, Your guild, the holder's orders, the Works and the Chronicle.
  • Each challenging guild has a bar showing how close it is to claiming the Charter or winning the Right of Siege.
  • New "How the seat war works" guide: pledging, earning influence, claiming, sieges and holding.

Shorter text

  • Messages across the board, Market, Work, Vendors and Seat tabs are shorter and plainer. For example, "The counting-house is not answering. The market cannot be read now." is now "The market did not load."

Bad words filtered

  • Slurs and crude words are starred out (****) in chat on every channel, Notice Board notes, guild notes, letters and shared journal pages. The rest of the message stays as written, and ordinary words that only contain a filtered one ("spiced wine", "snigger", "don't get cocky") are left alone.
  • Notes pinned before this update are starred too when a board is read.
  • A guild rank name or a ship's name with such a word is refused, and the message names the word.
  • A custom class name with such a word isn't shown to other players, and a maker's mark with one is left off the item.
  • A name given with the Item Maker is starred wherever the item is shown.

Player profile

  • The inspect card is tidied up: the name always keeps its line, badges sit on their own row under it, and the duel, breach, town and serpent records are compact plaques.
  • Worn gear is grouped into In hand, Armour, Clothing and Jewellery. A pair, such as two rings, shares one row.

Wallet

  • The wallet's sheet is now a ledger: Coin (gold, silver) and In the wallet (letters of credit, Deadlands Embers, Welkynd Shards), with each amount lined up on the right.

What's Changed

  • BOARD-UI, TEXT-F1, PROFILE-UI, WALLET-UI, AUDIT 657: the Notice Board overhauled, a player's words filtered, the inspect card and the wallet organized, and all of it audited by @Lattymoy in #657
