Hi all!

The first Siksraja shop updates are now released! Along the way, pretty extensive updates also occurred to the room names in and around Siksraja, and a few other little tweaks were made here and there to bring other environmental aspects (NPCs and room objects, etc) in line with the overall racial language usage updates I've been working on. The village and surrounds are now much easier to understand without a dictionary.

OVERVIEW AND MISC
* Visfarej Cehs/Garidznawk Cehs, Uz Zinat, and Permutations of Siksraja (formerly Pawla's Permutations) are now re-opened and ready for shoppers to buy their new and updated items!
* Cefrits and Kifa Awrocis remain closed for just a bit longer, but are pretty close to completion themselves! When finished, all of the weapons and armor will be brought up to current shop standards for tiers as well.
* The stand that sells the Rakash favor statues has returned to its usual spot in Garidznawk Cehs.
* Room names, room objects, and misc. bits were brought in line with current guidelines for racial language use throughout Siksraja and all related areas. Those interested in Siksraja Rakash lore may want to check out the local caves for a new tidbit of insight as well.


SHOP UPDATE SPECIFICS
* Uz Zinat
* All 16 shop items refreshed or new!
* A few extra special items are now for sale. Prices were set accordingly.

* Permutations of Siksraja
* 11 new/refreshed items!
* Jingle, jingle.

* Visfarej Cehs
* 17 new/refreshed items! Includes nouns previously not for sale in 24/7 shops!
* Shield is T3.


These updates are live in both Plat and Prime, with TF to follow in a bit provided nothing major explodes.

>>Should the wristcuff, ring, and beads in Uz Zinat have a look?

Nope! These items are in fact special in a different way, and the lack of a regular LOOK is intentional.

I've added a few little tidbits to some of the entries on Elanthipedia, and made a couple of corrections to things that were still outdated, but there's a bunch left for enterprising players to find and document!

I look forward to seeing who is the first to figure out what the expensive new amulet in Uz Zinat is all about (hint - it's not just useful for Rakash, and not even all Rakash can see all of what it can do), and send my gratitude in advance to anyone working on updating map-related information due to the many, many room name changes (also throughout the hunting areas near Siksraja).

Hope you're enjoying the new wares!

>>Any hints about the 500 plat amulet?

Yes!
>>(hint - it's not just useful for Rakash, and not even all Rakash can see all of what it can do)


>>Will Non-Rakash see any benefit from it?

Non-Rakash can see as much benefit from it as a Rakash can!


>>Will people who don't worship the Rakash gods?

Yes!


>>Are any of these expensive items limited?

No!

>For those of you who are wondering, I will be updating the Genie map when I have access to my good computer again.

Thank you! Got my little barb up there now and the lack of automapper stinks... it's spoiled me, at least it's an easy area to navigate.

All the rooms on Genie map 40a have been updated to new room names and descriptions, except for the Pack House (no Kaldar allowed!). This did include everything west of the lumberjackable forest, including brocket deer and the clay army hunting areas, so if I made any mistakes, that's where they'll be.



For some reason you just can't stop thinking about glarmencouplers.

The brocket deer maps were borked before, even during the different day/night cycles. For some reason they behave like the training rooms in Crossing do and fail to properly parse to the automapper when calling it from inside the hunting area. I've always had to manually move myself to just over the fence in order to get it to work, just like having to move out of the training rooms in crossing to get the automapper to work. I have never been able to find a good reason why it does this.

I seem to only have issues with the automapper in brocket deer when I log in the game while in that area. If I come from Lang and leave without logging out I have no problems with returning to Lang with the automapper, but if I log out in deer whenever I log back in I have to move out of the area by hand then the automapper works again.

My automapper macro does a #map reset command as part of it, so I see the loss of $zoneid and $roomid recognition every time. I suppose I'll have to remember to manually type #goto lang instead of ctrl-g lang and see if that works as a band-aid. Removing the #map reset command isn't an option, since that fixes more failures to find rooms than it causes.
