Dirge says who ignores it

5.3.96 · October 18, 2026

 - Dirge says who ignores it: undead, plants, constructs and other
   creatures that dirge cannot touch took nothing and said nothing, which
   looked like dirge doing no damage at all.  Now they say so: "The
   skeleton ignores the dirge."  (Reported by Sanla.)
 - Repair finds the broken one: with two items of the same name,
   repair tattoo picked the first one you wore, even when it was the
   one that didn't need fixing.  It now picks the one that does, and
   repair 2.tattoo works for worn items too.
 - Repair totals match the bill: the Total cost after repair worn,
   inventory or all left out the magic repairers' double price, so an
   estimate at Thalas came to half what he charged.  The estimate now
   matches, and after a repair the total is what you actually paid.
 - For client scripters: GMCP equipment slots say left and right:
   Char.Items called your LEFT arm arm_r, and the same for every
   paired slot.  They are now spelled out: ear_left, arm_left,
   wrist_left/wrist_left2, hand_left, finger_left_ring,
   finger_left_middle, finger_left_index, leg_left, foot_left,
   hind_foot_left, and a _right of each.  orbitting is now
   orbiting.  The old names are gone, so scripts that match them
   need updating.
