Quick update prompted by the in-game line change for standing, brings in several fixes and a set of NameDB improvements, too!
Stand trigger
The standing line in the game got changed, so this update reflects the change. You can also add the new line into the svo stand trigger as a temporary measure before you get a chance to update.
Balzadeen as a def
The Balzadeen got added in for Apostates - it can be deffed up now (the system will properly get 100% mana before raising one), get tracked from ENT, and defences that require a Balzadeen active will now respect that, and summon a Balzadeen first if you've allowed it on defup.
Races added to NameDB
NameDB now tracks the race of a person along with other attributes! It'll realize this either off honours, or you can do ndb set <person> race <their race>.
New API function: ndb.addname
ndb.addname("name") or ndb.addname({"name1", "name2", ...}) allow you to add new names for NameDB to check. This function will allow you to build your own crawlers and so on for your NameDB to havest even more names!
NameDB friends list
NameDB now shows the friends classes and totals on your friends list (provided you have any). This is similar to how it showed this for clanwho and partywho. Thanks to Lynara for adding this in.
NameDB: eating lines while checking fixed
NameDB would sometimes delete one more line than it needed to when gagging a name - this was visible when checking qw for several names. This issue has been fixed.

13.4.2 update
Another update shortly after 13.4.1, because I messed up. Sorry about that! Instead of fixing blackout+prone to be quicker to retry, I broke it, it was very spammy now. This update rectifies this quickly.
Auto-updating
For some people, some times, auto-updating would not work properly - it'd either get stuck updating, or update and install on system, and so on. I did a bit of digging and one possible cause for this issue seems to be that Dropbox instead of giving the system when downloading it, bugs out and doesn't deliver the system. Then of course installing that wouldn't work, so you'd be left without a system.
Svo will now verify the zip it downloads and will redownload it again if that happens, so after this update, the process will be smoother.

Hey! New update is here for the Bard, Blademaster and Dropbox changes.
Dropbox stuff
Dropbox changed some things around, which broke the mapper scripts crowdmap and Svo's autoupdates. This means that vupdate will not work on this update
I did however work out and fix the problem, so after you do this update, it will work again.
Update your mapper script
In case you haven't updated already, check rl, it should say the following:
(mapper): version 13.4.1.
If it's an earlier version, make sure to update it - download the latest one from here. This'll make crowdmap updates work again.
Updating your Svo
You'll need to manual this updatem as the auto-updater will get fixed in this update and doesn't work due to Dropbox changes yet. To do so, use the original link for your system to download the latest copy (if you've lost yours, feel free to ask me about it). Uninstall your old Svo in the Package Manager, and then install the new zip you've downloaded. Restart Mudlet and you'll be done.
Bard changes
As per the Bard classleads in Announce 3825, 3826, the system has been updated for all of the Bard-related changes. Pesante, Cantata and Noise effects and lines were adjusted. Tremolo and Vibrato was added, with the system also not wasting salve balance on mending/renewal. Appropriate anti-illusion was also added for this.
Blademaster changes
The system was also updated for the small Blademaster classleads as per Announce 3827.
@exits customprompt tag
A new customprompt tag has been added: @exits. This lists the current exits your room has on the prompt. An upper-case version, @EXITS, is available as well.
NameDB: improved qw speed
Pulling the names from qw was a bit slow for some people on Windows, so the speed of that was improved. Recent additions to qw also include qw update (to re-check all people on current qw) and qwc (to see qw sorted by city members).
Svo classtricks and NameDB
Svo's classtricks and NameDB have been integrated - and NameDB will now auto-set the class of the opponent you're fighting automatically. This has been proofed against illusions with lifevision and the new vconfig autoclassset # option, which requires x consecutive hits from the class before it sets it.
A new event was also added, svo got hit by that provides the class (and the name if available) that you can use for scripting.
Miscallaneous
A whole lot of other additions and improvements made it in as well, see the changelog below:

13.4.4 update
New update, as you'd expect of Svo quality, for the recent changes in the game. Shallam is gone and Targossas, the Dawnspear rises - Svo and NameDB have been updated for this fact.
Targossas renaming
The update has been made to be as painless as possible, so as many things as possible have been automated. Your vconfig org setting will auto-change to Targossas if you've previously have had set it on Shallam. All known Shallamese citizens by NameDB will be auto-migrated to be Targossians whenever you load up Mudlet, and whenever you import data (so your old backups will transition). You will might need to update vconfig politics city relationship statuses to reflect your orgs political reality.
In regards to scripting, ndb.isshallamese() will still be working as it was. If you used ndb.getcity() however, it will now return "Targossas" for a Targossian citizen, so you will have to adjust that. A new function, ndb.istargossian(), was added as well.

13.4.5 update
New update for the Dragoncraft changes!
Dragoncraft
Added triggers for the new targetted Dragoncrafts curse ability, and added recklessness, weakness as blocking afflictions to Dragonheal.
@day and @month tags
Two new customprompt tags have been added - @day, which shows the current in-game day, and @month, which shows the current in-game month. They're powered by the new IRE.Time GMCP extension that Achaea has added.

New updates for Jester classleads, curing fixes and new improvements!
Jester classleads
Jester classleads are here, and so the system got an updated Bop trigger for the mental afflictions it now gives and the vodun/puppetry trigger was updated to take prone into equasion as well.
Restoration curing
Restoration curing in the system was slightly wonky due to the unexpected addition of the "limb too damaged to cure in that manner" line - this has now been fixed, and it's fine once again.
Bloodleech detection
Bloodleech-going-away detection was improved to take account into GMCP (since bloodleeches already show on INFO HERE, it is no different). This means the system will now detect you lost a bloodleech when you leap or jump out of the room and so on.
Peopletracker: ppof alias
A new alias got added to the peopletracker; ppof <citizens> will report the currently online, ungemmed citizens of a city to your CC (so party or clan or whatever). The alias also allows you to lazy-type the city name: i.e., ppof a or ppof ash will do it for Ashtan and so on.
New scripting goodies
A fair bit of new and interesting functions and events are available to scripters now. Check out the docs for svo.usingbalance(), svo.doing(), and svo.not_illusion() functions. A svo started defup event is now raised when you start deffing up in a defence mode, and all limbcounters received a svo limbcounter hit event that is raised when you connect to a limb of your victim.
Svo now cures voyria with tree when out of immunity/antigen
Something that I personally think is very cool, Svo will now use tree to cure your voyria should you run out of immunity and antigen. Assuming you've got a tree tattoo, of course. The cool part about is that the system has advanced enough to make this possible: it tracks the sips your vials have of a given thing. This is available for scripting as well, see svo.es_potions.
Fullstats and transmute
Fullstats has been fixed to work properly when you've got a transmute mode enabled - it didn't before, and never really caught my attention as I haven't played a monk.
svo.me.wielded improvements
svo.me.wielded table has been fixed to account for the Char.Items.Remove change, and additionally, it now uses the right/left/both flags to set svo.me.wielded[item].hand to left, right or both.
NameDB: added rogues highlighting
It's been asked for, and now it's here! Rogues are available as a highlighting category in NameDB. See your improved vconfig politics after you update and restart Mudlet.
NameDB: added improved cwho
Your cwho will now show people who have obtained Dragon, and when they are in Dragon, it will show their lesser class. Big thanks to Veldrin for making and contributing the code for this!

Monk changes
A day after the classleads, the system has been updated for all the Monk classleads! Take note that hitting Guarding is now a 2s stun instead of prone.
Limbcounter updates
All limbcounters have been updated to take the new Guarding line into account!
However the Monk one at the time of the writing does not deal with the new Combo command well yet - this has slipped my attention, and another update will be done shortly to rectify that.
Anti-illusion improvements
Hypersomnia is now double-checked by AI when it is on before it is cured! This helps improve the systems AI in general.
Remember that you can add your own illusions to be ignored with svo.ignore_illusion(), and undo detected illusions with svo.not_illusion() (so the system doesn't think something is an illusion if it's not).
Devil tarot tracking
Devil Tarot is now tracked by svo.defc.devil, and the svo got def, svo lost def events. While it doesn't make too much sense to keepup or defup this defence, having it be tracked by the system will allow you to script with it easier, which is the intended idea.
Peopletracker: ppwith improvement
ppwith will now also echo the text back to you, so when you aren't in a party, you can still see with whom a particular person is. Thanks to Dontarion for the idea!
New function: svo.ccnop()
svo.ccnop() is similar to svo.cc("stuff I want to announce"), except that it will go off when the system is paused. It will not go off if you are in aeon or retardation.
This function is useful because sometimes there are announces you want to get through pause, i.e. when you are propping a totem and enemies hit it.
vconfig burrowpause
Auto-pause on burrow is back, this time as an option to please everybody. It's on by default, and with it on, the system will automatically pause when you burrow, so it doesn't spam things. The downside is that it won't cure or heal you either, which is feasible in a limited manner while burrowed.
vconfig freevault
This new option tells the system whenever your vaulting takes up balance or not. The system auto-detects and auto-sets this by itself, so you don't have to worry about configuring it.
If your vault takes up no balance, then the system, when you get proned and knocked off your mount, can send stand vault, and dor or your custom function all at once - shaving you off ping time from just getting up and vaulting at once, and then doing dor or your custom function.
Priest blessings / Alchemist empowerments in Dragonform
Class defences now show up in Dragonform as additional defences! This means that Priest Dragons can now see their blessings and Alchemist Dragons can see the empowerment they have. Same with Magi Chargeshields and so on!

Hi! Timely update to help the system deal with the new Targossian arena properly.
svo.me.wielded improvements
I've improved svo.me.wielded to have it keep tracking properly when vconfig autorewield is off, and it now handles the swap hands command as well. Additionally, it raises an svo me.wielded updated event whenever the table is updated, allowing you to create GUI trackers for your wielded items.
Targossian arena
The new Targossian arena has been added to the system, which'll help stop it from spazzing out while fighting in it. Additionally, I've added a vconfig autoarena option which you can turn off and turn arena mode on/off manually instead to handle this in the future without an update.
ppwith fix
The previous update messed up ppwith - making it not work if the person was with a group (which kind of defeats the point). ppwith is now fixed once again!
Better amnesia+aeon handling
The system now deals with amnesia and aeon far more efficienty, cancelling the amnesia ASAP and restarting whatever it was doing in the same go.
New NameDB alias: ndb
NameDB now sports an ndb alias, which lists all of the aliases from the docs page right within Mudlet for you! You can hover over or click on an alias to get its description. ndb long is a similar version, with all of the alias descriptions expanded.
New NameDB data capture: clan lists
For those who'd like to have ALL THE NAMES in their NameDB, Lynara contributed a way to vacuum those names from clanhelp <clan>! So next time you do clanhelp mudlet... yeah.

This is part 1/2 of the updates for new Occultist lines. All lines and new afflictions have been added; and the system will fare much better now. You will, however, want to adapt your offensive and defensive strategies against the new Occultist!
For Cadmus, a new option was introduced - vconfig focuswithcadmus. With this off (default), the system will not focus while you've got cadmus. When you do have it on, the system will focus while you've got cadmus - and the reason you'll want to do that is that sometimes it's beneficial to swap one high-priority mental affliction for a lower-priority physical one. It's a bit of a gamble, and this is untested, so that's why there's an option for you to enable and play with it. In part 2/2, the option will be augmented by a list of afflictions which you'll specify which to use focus for. So, for example, you could have it risk using focus for stupidity but not vertigo.
Missing things that will come in update 2/2 are:

13.8.3 update
Hiya - this update brings improved Cadmus handling, Occultist entities balance tracking, and various scripting improvements.
More flexible Cadmus
You can now specify which afflictions should focus be used to cure while you've got cadmus, in addition to the blanket "use/don't use focus with cadmus". Cadmus is the Occultist affliction that cannot be cured directly, gives you physical afflictions if you use focus while you have it, and lasts until you've cured all of the relevant physical afflictions.
To select which affs you'd like to see focus used on, click on vconfig2 → adjust affs. The list is fairly intuitive and you select things by clicking on the checkboxes.
Entities balance tracking
Occultist entities balance is now tracked by the system, in the similar manner that the voice and hydra balances are. You will see it on your prompt of you're using @promptstring tag or by adding the new @entitiesbal one.
You can also use it in your scripting with svo.bals.entities and the svo got balance, svo lost balance events.
Improved scripting things
You can now check if an illusion was registered within a svo.aiprompt() trigger with svo.me.haveillusion. svo.ignore_illusion() does not delete aiprompts (allowing you to use them for other purposes), and this will enable you to act accordingly if an illusion has been detected.
svo.reset.bals() was introduced to reset all balances, and svo.prio.getlist(balance) will give you a list of priorities on a balance. Particularly useful if you want to get some data out of the system as to what actions are focusable, cured by salves, and so on.
What happened to 13.8.2?
It was bad and didn't load right, so 13.8.3 quickly fixed it. If you have upgraded to 13.8.2 in the meantime, please update manually to fix the system. Sorry about this.

This is the official Svo update for ANNOUNCE NEWS #3932, and it includes the quick fix - so after updating, you don't need to do that anymore.
Addiction
The system has been updated to handle addiction eating, and updated all of the lines for the affliction as well.
Precache
Precache has been adjusted to precache a maximum of one item while you have addiction. So if you've got 5 bloodroot and 5 kelp on precache normally, while you have addiction, it'll keep 1 bloodroot and 1 kelp out. This makes sense as every eat will consume the entire portion of that herb/mineral anyhow, so it'd be a waste to have more.

13.9.2 update!
New update - covers Priest classleads and the intermediate salve changes!
New Priest afflictions
This update handles the new disrupt family of Priest afflictions - both in curing, trigger adjustment necessary, and the @affs tag.
As new afflictions get added to the bottom of the priorities, it is recommended that you do vupdate prios after upgrading to move the disrupts up, if you haven't customized your prios setup. If you have, move the disrupts up yourself as necessary.
New Healing balance
From the Priests POV, the system now tracks and respects the Healing balance and the Bedevil affliction.
The healing balance is also available for scripting - via the svo.bals.healing variable, and the svo got balance, svo lost balance events.
Healing modes have not been adjusted yet - they were still being worked on when the salve changes necessitated an update. I'm still working out good ways of handling it - but meanwhile, full, partial and none healing modes are still available. Full might make sense for bashing, but partial not so for PK.
Priest Healer
The Priest healer has been updated - given how you can't mass-heal afflictions anymore, the healer has been reworked to heal afflictions one at a time in the order of priority. This means that for one cre, you'll get one affliction healed - and if you want another healed, use cre again (this is so 10 afflictions won't occupy your healing balance for the next 20s).
The importance of afflictions is determined from your aeon/retardation priority (because that's a place where everything is within one, comparable list).
crc alias was also updated to heal insomnia last.
Spazzing leg curing
The spazzing leg curing that happened since the last few updates was fixed and works fine now! As always, do let me know if you run into any other issues.
13.9.1 update
13.9.1 was a pretty short-lived update - for some time, Achaea's salves that didn't require a bodypart for an application suddenly did, thus breaking the typical "apply mass" and so on syntax. However the update broke Lifevision mask artefact, and it failed to actually make use of the syntax, so 13.9.2 came about to fix that up.
Miscellaneous
A whole set of other things were updated as well, see below:

This update follows shortly on the heels of 13.9.2, introducing Elder Dragon support into the system! Congratulations to all of the Dragons who are achieving this feat. As well as Elder Dragons, the updates fixes some miscallaneous things. Runewarden classleads do not require any changes in the system, so there's nothing new in that regard.
Changelog:

New update! Two in one even, because the first one had two minor problems.
Shrugging
Serpent shrugging is in! It's dealt with in the same successful model as you'll already find dragonheal, tree and restore being dealt with. Shrugging has pre-setup curing strategies you can enable/disable easily via the UI or scripting, and you can also create your own, which can be quite complex and clever, for when you'd like it to be used.
You'll also find that the @promptstring customprompt tag will show shrugging in it now, and a new tag, @shrugging, was added as well to make use of.
Scripting-wise, shrugging-related balance changes now get raised as you'd expect ("svo lost balance" and "svo got balance"), and shrugging is available for querying at svo.bals.shrugging.
Shrugging is off by default - not every Serpent has it at start as a skill. Make sure to turn it on, if you have it, by doing vconfig shrugging yep.
Scripting prios
An improvement to manipulating priorities via scripting - svo.prio.insert(). This is complimentary to the already available swapping function - but unlike swapping, it'll insert a priority in the given position and automatically shift everything else down if it needs to. Swapping will swap places of two things only.
Lyre mode improvements
A whole bunch of improvements were made to Lyre mode to make it more trustworthy in combat - thanks to Rangor for showing the issues, testing the fixes and dying at least once. It is, however, much better now! When you have a concussion or stupidity, doubledo will make sure to avoid double doing the lyre command - since that will break it. lyc is better now - sometimes if you were lagging enough, it'd send commands in after it sent all of them already + the lyre strum - it doesn't anymore. And lastly, if you got stunned in the unlucky moment between the strum command being sent and it going through - the system wouldn't unpause from the pause it did for the lyre. It'll now, however, do it immediately and properly.
Immediate transmute
Transmute mode has been improved to do all the transmute steps at once! Instead of the previous transmute, wait for the transmute command to go through, transmute again, ...the system will now do all of the transmutes at once. According to Draqoom, who helped to test and retest as I perfected this, "... it runs smoother, heals faster and lets me attack quicker without having to wait for it to transmute between/before attacks.".
Making sure it is still safe to use and doesn't over-transmute is the tricky part in doing this, but with some extensive testing it has been tuned to work perfectly. If it is not working well for your ping/internet speed setup, do get in touch.
Faster clotting
Clotting speed has been improved as well to work better on slower connections by batching things when it can, while still remaining safe to use in regards to mana use levels. This'll help against Blademasters, Alchemists and anyone else who stacks a lot of bleeding on you (within your reasonable health/mana limits, of course).
NameDB qw
NameDB's qw now has a little addition that mentions how many people are visible in total. Thanks to Silas for the idea!
Reworked Pyradius trigger
The code behind the Pyradius (firelord, transforms your affs) was improved not to give (i)'s with anti-illusion and generally handle the afflictions better, and properly as it should.
Message summaries
Message search lists, summaries and the general messages lists all now made the message numbers clickable - so you can click to read the message, instead of having to type out "m s g r e a d 1 4 5 1".
NameDB scripting improvements
NameDB offers three new functions in this update - ndb.shouldbold(name), ndb.shoulditalicize(name), ndb.shouldunderline(name). These allow you to check if NameDB is going to bold, italisize or underline a name - so you can, in your scripting, replicate the same thing NameDB would do on text from the game.

Priest Healing
The problem was introduced in the last update when I inadvertently sorted the list of healing skills in alphabetical order (instead of leaving it be in the order of learning).
I've also improved the Priest Healing addon to mention the reason why can't it heal an affliction when it can't do so - either because you don't know how to cure that particular affliction, or you don't have the necessary channels open.

Quick update to take advantages of new features introduced in classleads!
Bell tattoo
The bell tattoo has been repurposed in the game, and now serves a fairly useful role - so it has been added as a defup/keepup defence to the system! You can now def it up whenever you'd like.
If you add it to your basic keepup, it'll be put up automatically right when you login - because the system starts by default in the basic defences mode, and when keepup is on, it makes sure its defences are up.
Secondsight
Subterfuge gained an ability to view wormholes when the secondsight defence is up - the system can now defup and keepup secondsight as well.
Fitness
Fitness, on the other hand, got stripped of its defence ability. It has now also been removed from defup/keepup - but you still can use it to cure asthma.

The last update for Rift changes didn't account for all changes - I didn't realise that the 'glancing into your rift' line's colour is now game-configurable. Since the systems trigger was tied to the colour, the update did not work for everybody. This update rectifies this and restores herb curing!
I'm not excluding the possibility of another update needed after this, since we might discover something else that was changed by the rift updates in the game but wasn't announced.
