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.

Which Server(s)?
------------------------
All of them

Gaming Platform(s)?
------------------------------
PC

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.

Should have this fixed soon, moving the variable over to the one it uses to reload data after a restart.

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