Trovesaurus Chat

This feature is a test feature, and may not stay around permanently

• launched for the new "chat" feature (instant trovesaurus mails), along with "rooms" (clubs)
• the icon can be found on the top of the site when you are logged in
• chats between users are using the trovesaurus mail system
• you can find those conversations also in the mail system
• messages sent this way will not generate email notifications like the mail system does
• the notification bar will display an unread count, which updates every 10 seconds
• when viewing a chat conversation, an audio alert will sound when you have a new message in that channel
• when you view a channel, you are considered "subscribed to it" and will see unread indicators until you view it again (i need to write a leave)
• to view club channels, you need to "join" the club on trovesaurus clubs page clicking on a channel with unread messages will mark those messages as read

Shadow Theme

• Thanks to TFMHisztike we have added a work in progress Shadow Theme to the theme switcher

Comments and Likes

• The Comments and Likes section has been reduced in size
• Buttons for Like / Comment will update text / fill in when appropriate

Quest Tracking

• Added an experimental quest tracking widget for events

• The final step marks as complete

Mods

• The mods list will now prioritise catalog images when provided
• Catalog images can now be set with a drag and drop of an image on the Mod Icon section of the Images tab when viewing a mod
• Added some filters to the blueprints page and made it searchable
• Squished the mods list so they show more per row (from 2 to 3)
• Mod Packs now split their list of mods by category and the header has been condensed slightly
• Unlisted mods can now be viewed again, requested by ExoDave

Art

• Art challenge notifications will now call it a challenge instead of a contest
• When a challenge starts, an announcement will be made on Discord

Database

• The Dungeons page is now full width, and the dungeons are now in an accordion grouped by biome and sorted the dungeons alphabetically
• Dungeons now reference a biome by ID, that makes it less weird when biomes have alternate names
• Dungeon individual pages are now full width, and the image is a little further down the page
• Frameworks page is now full width, and instead of tabs to filter workbench it now uses an accordion
• Biomes page is now full width and biomes are in 3 columns per row instead of 2
• You can now request updates on things we previously marked as complete, in order to request more up to date information, please don't spam us
• Items page has been changed to use the full width, moved the filter from the top to the left hand side and re-ordered alphabetically
• Unlocker pages for recipes now display the recipe
• Added historical Chaos Chest data up to the start of 2017, thanks to Summer for maintaining a historical record
• Crafting recipes have been condensed a little, Chaos Core Crafter was pretty fat, materials are hidden until pressed
• Fixed an issue where Gardening recipes were still pointing to the old bench (antiquated)
• Hardcoded a break between a collection of the same name as a pinata, seriously stahp calling them the exact same thing, latest culprit is curious clubyata
• Style pages can now have custom icons as we can't reliably generate icons for torches or blueprints in subfolders at the moment

Features

• Unread mail counter will now update without page reloads, if the chat system test gets removed that system will stay
• Gave the Profile Edit page a bit moreo f a larger list when viewing it without selecting an option
• Today in Trove now indicates the new Chaos Chest loot

• Upcoming Luxion visit now has new graphics that fit the Today in Trove section
• You can now select mods with the category "Dragons" when selecting a Mount in your user profile character loadout

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue preventing people from editing comments
• Tried to make the countdown indicators for events less rounded up by adding a decimal place
• Fixed an invalid link on the ideas generator for dungeons
• Attempted to fix an issue where if you had been mentioned in a comment, the notification telling you had a bad link for the comment
• Fixed an issue where some deco (signs) weren't having their icons set
• You can now view the items on Luxion's visits from the Luxion page, apparently you aren't all admins
