Usurper Reborn v1.1.14

Main Street

The classic Main Street layout is back as a setting. Settings [~],
key S, switches Main Street between Districts and Classic for each
character. Districts stays the default.
Classic mode draws the menu of versions before 1.1.13 with the old keys,
in the visual, screen reader and BBS modes. It differs from the old menu
in three ways:
- the bottom border under the visual menu is left out;
- Old Church shows from tier 2 in the screen reader and BBS menus (it
  used to show there from tier 3), and the Settlement stays at tier 3 in
  screen reader mode;
- hints and journal lines still name the district keys (for example
  "Guild Row [G], Level Master [V]").
In classic mode a new level lists what opened in one line.
The district menu shows a tip on a character's first 10 visits saying
the classic layout is in Settings. The notice that the street was
reorganised now says the same.

Every online pause keeps a command typed ahead for the next prompt;
in 1.1.13 only some did. All pauses now go through one shared pause, and
in single-player a single key still continues.

Engulf is not used on a target that is already held (stunned,
webbed, engulfed, frozen, asleep or paralysed); the monster makes a
normal attack instead. This applies to the player, companions and
grouped players.
A goblin uses its Critical Strike once per fight. Each goblin in a
pack has its own. Tournament and Gauntlet champions are unchanged.
A monster's stun on a teammate follows the same hold rules as on the
player.
A chest or shrine from a random room event waits for your choice.
Dungeon room text wraps at word boundaries, and the danger label is
printed once.

The alt character slot opens at level 25, as well as for an immortal
main or an earned slot. One alt per account, as before.
The status sheet uses one separator and one space per label.

Every way onto a team keeps the five-member limit: Team Corner joins
and hires, street gangs, and NPCs joining or recruiting on their own.
Two joins at the same moment cannot make six.
A street gang does not take a king as a member.
A new team does not inherit the wars and siege cooldown of a removed
team with the same name.
A fought team war whose completion failed is settled by its stored
score.
A team-vault deposit saves the player and credits the vault in one step.
Teams whose names differ only in case: the newer one is renamed when the
server starts, and each member gets one mail about it.
A guild with no leader passes to a member who can lead once there is
one, including after an unban or a join. An unban from the web admin
page passes it at once.

A petition ruling cannot spend gold the treasury lacks.
A monarch's death leaves an empty throne that a restart does not
restore.
An NPC imprisoned in a street encounter gets a court prison record and
is released as usual.
Faction standing stops at its maximum instead of overflowing.
Sales tax from a court change that gave up is credited by the next one,
exactly once, and survives a restart.
Court politics news is posted once, only when the court change is saved,
and is shown in all five languages.
A royal decree waits while the NPC roster is loading.

An NPC name that already has a Roman numeral has it removed before a
surname is chosen.
An NPC restored from an old save with no ID gets the same ID in every
process.
Taking an NPC's gear needs a one-time claim, so two players cannot take
the same piece.
The login payout for a quest on an NPC who has died is paid once.
A player bounty from before 1.1.11 is paid when the target is beaten in
a duel.
Expired quests leave the shared quest record.

No two items share a display name in any language. French, Spanish,
Italian and Hungarian names changed for the Greataxe; French and Italian
for the Holy Vestments; Italian for the Archmage Staff; French for the
Shadow Cloak.

Admin commands left running by a game server that stopped are recovered
when the server starts. A delete whose archive has expired runs its
clean-up from the request; a delete queued before 1.1.14 that got stuck
says in the admin panel to delete the account again.
Admin flags such as frozen or muted are kept by account name when a
character is deleted and made again.
Display names are unique in the database.
SSH.NET is updated to 2026.0.0 for two security advisories.

A world sim that loses its lock to another process pauses (no ticks, no
saves, no final save) and tries to take the lock back on each heartbeat.
World edits are re-applied until they are pruned after seven days.
The world sim adopts NPC saves made by its own process instead of
reloading them.
On setups with one process per player, a player's team join counts only
the NPC members its own process has loaded.

The Spanish, French, Hungarian and Italian text added in 1.1.14 and the
Awakening text need a native speaker's review.
