Nuanced Fixes for Private Properties

Location
As of two days ago, all Private Properties purchased between 2021 and 2023 have had their LOCATION property adjusted to display correctly. An example of how this should display is:
You carefully survey your surroundings and guess that your current location is Oleander House, inside the city of Vornavis Proper or somewhere close to it.
If you do not see this, then the room within your property is set to NO LOCATE and that means it is appropriately handling your rooms with the default message of:
You carefully survey your surroundings and guess that your current location is Solhaven or somewhere close to it.
Location is not as nuanced as other systems and it defaults to realm when the NO LOCATE flags are in place. Please keep this in mind and do not bug your property’s room.

[Update] Whisper Portals Whisper Portals have been updated to include an analyze. They will let non-owners know that a password is required. It will let owners know what passwords they have set and give them instructions on how to change their passwords. This can be done at the owner’s discretion.

[Clarification] Keyless Entry Keyless entry is designed to allow entry from your exterior portal to the interior of your home. If you purchased certificates for keyless entry on other portals within your structure, then please assist and seek a refund.

[Update] InnFun – This was announced on Discord
There is a script that I call InnFun but you all may have another name for it. It handles a variety of things and some of those things have recently been updated.
Basin - Basins with the InnFun script on them have received a new verb that allows you to fill a glass with the water stored in them. (A glass-in-hand is not required)
Fountain - Fountains with the InnFun script on them have received a new verb that allows you to drink water from the fountain.
Windows - Windows with the InnFun script on them are the ones that can be EXHALED to draw designs on the window panes. They were updated in the Fall to handle GAZE and PEER (but only if they were set up to be looked through). As a result, the analyze was updated to reflect that you can GAZE or PEER through them.
These items are featured a lot around Mist Harbor, but also fairly heavily in Private Properties. Enjoy.
