Description
==========
In the past, you could use -investigate on broken fixtures to determine how the fixture was broken. Sometimes it would give you clues as to who broke it (ie, what kind of damage was used). Now, nothing comes up. Any time I investigate a broken fixture, all I get is "
Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
1. Walk up to a broken fixture
2. Type -investigate
Expected result
-----------------------
Get information how the fixture was smashed to bits
Ex: This fixture was destroyed by fire damage
The footprints indicate the person was wearing heavy armor
Actual result
-------------------
The only message I can ever get back is "This fixture was destroyed by a source"
Misc Notes
----------------
I know the ability to identify the persons race was removed (it did get silly) to prevent metagaming, but i'm not seeing anything about the ability to see damage types/etc removed.

Re: -Investigate fixtures is broken
This is a known bug but has been lower on my priority than fixing other features.
Are the fixtures still spawning tracks?

Not that i've noticed, no. I -have- noticed tracks spawning in random locations, not just at the entrances/exits of an area.
Re: -Investigate fixtures is broken
Should have this fixed soon, moving the variable over to the one it uses to reload data after a restart.

Re: -Investigate fixtures is broken
Can confirm that the fix is now live; my destroyed fixtures tell me with investigate that they were destroyed by lightning
