Game Update 0.15.547

[h1]Build 0.15.547[/h1]Released: 19th Dec,2024 [h2]General[/h2][list][*]Made a change which should fix some failed logins due to various ISP/router issues. [/*][*]The /friend command now supports "/friend group" to send a friend request to all of your current group members. [/*][*]The /friend command now supports friending your defensive target, or by name (as before). [/*][*]Added a Friend option to the context menu that appears when right-clicking on another player. [/*][*]The /targetgroupmember (or /tgm) command now allows you to defensively target a group member by name, such as: /tgm Fred. Or, optionally, target their pet by supplying either 1 or 2 to target their 1st or 2nd pet, such as: /targetgroupmember Fred 1 (would target Fred's 1st pet), or 0 (zero) to toggle target cyclically through the group member and their pets, such as: /targetgroupmember Fred 0. [/*][*]The target group member keys (F2 - F6 by default) will now target that group member first, and then each press of that same key after that will toggle through that group member's pets (if they have any) before toggling back to targeting that group member. [/*][*]Added /corpse as an alias for /dragcorpse. [/*][*]Weapons that can only be equipped in your primary hand will now show on the item's tooltip as a main hand weapon, such as "Main Hand Dagger".
