Reanimation & Misc. Fixes

Written by: Tydeus, the Parity

Addressed to: Everyone


-- Reanimation --

- The second heart given by a scalpel was not being properly considered
a mob-harvested heart rather than player-drawn heart, this has been
fixed.

- DISSECT and AUTOPSY will now search for a totally valid corpse (not a
player corpse, actually dead, of sufficient strength, not already been
defiled, etc.) when you try to use it - if it does not find one, it
means all of the kind you specified are invalid in one of the above
ways.

- Howling Inflation should now work properly.

- Fresh organs can now be referred to as fresh_<organ> like desiccated
organs can as dry_<organ>.

- Desiccated organs will now have a + after their name when cached. This
way you can tell the difference between a fresh and dry organ, as one
will look like "liver" and one like "liver+".

- Poultices that do not take poultice balance will no longer be stopped
by not having it.

- Trying to draw a heart from a quietus fake body will no longer work,
but will rather activate the quietus attack against the Necromancer.

- Dissecting and autopsying corpses now has some sensible requirements
such as having balance and equilibrium, having at least 1 working arm
and not being paralysed or tied.

- Question: There is apparently currently no cure for Blood Effusion in
Reanimation, and though I could pick a place for it, I suspect you all
would find a better one through the selection process known as shouting
at each other until your ears bleed. For this purpose I have provided
you a forum thread here:

- Clarification: It is by design that you only receive 3 ovaries when
dissecting with a scalpel, rather than 4.

- Clarification: Though hearts harvested from mobs can be consumed, they
should give no essence, so all you do is look scary and get some blood
on your chin.


-- Miscellaneous --

- When buying multiple items from a shop simultaneously, it should now
display the correct plural name if there is one, or the basic name of
the item plus s if not.

- There is now a limit to how many letters and postcards (they share the
cap) you can have in transit to any given person at one time. The
current maximum is 5 per recipient. This does not mean 5 fawners can
only send 1 love letter each to Varian at a time, but that one fawner
can only send 5 at a time.

- Quietus will now properly end when a fake body is about to be
decapitated.

- It is no longer possible to create a sonic or firey portal or grove
gate to someone who is buried.
