Hello guys! Here's a quick preview of the massive 0.8.4.1 job overhaul that goes live for Acolyte+ this Friday. There are dozens of screenshots and additional information at our Discord server.
JOB OVERHAUL
The job overhaul is mainly a CSS enhancement, making the NPC Menus more non-Chrome browser compatible. It has also been done to facilitate new titles and jobs that don't require us to navigate the old unstructured code.
The overhaul comes with some nice features however:
The Assignment arrows have been replaced with icons that sort assignments in "House jobs", "Stores", "Away assignments", "Properties" and "Colonial Properties".
If a single-assignment task is occupied, this is now displayed by a head icon. Hovering over this icon displays who's actually working where. Same goes for Titles.
"City Properties" displays workshops and taverns. Clicking on one of them opens up a new assignment option pane which allows you to appoint workers, barkeepers and foremen in a more structured way.
Note that you can now also pick which assignment a Tavern worker will have - bouncer, performer or worker. You can read more about those assignments here.
There's now a new unique title group, which includes "First Wife" and "Bed Warmer". Titles in this section don't overwrite other titles. A First Wife can also be a quartermistress etc.
You can now also send off NPCs through the Colonial Properties pane, instead of having to navigate into Actions.
OTHER CONTENT
In addition to the above, Friday's release features many tweaks and improvements to the Educator framework, lots of bug fixes and 75+ renders for Stormchild and most other scripted randies.
See you on Friday!
