Base bugged after patch

well it looks like the patch came in with a nice base bug. doorways are being deleted and rooms are basically being locked down. by locked down, i mean nothing can be moved in the room, nothing can be added to the room, and the room can not be deleted.

fun stuff.

Hm, not good.

I d/led the patch and played with the base editor today, too. I did get kicked out of my base once during editing, but didn't see any of the things you describe. Tried verifying your files?

lol verifying my files wouldn't make a difference. anyway castle is aware of the problem and it is being looked into. it isn't only me who had the problem.

i was just mainly bringing it to folks attention so they don't freak out. it is a problem multiple people are having and the devs are looking into it.

Hmm.....logs on to check base.

I'm having the same problem, can't move things, can't raise or lower floors and ceilings, pretty much can't do anything.

Odd. I wonder why I was able to edit my base with no problems, then?

it could be that your base isn't bugged. i'm just saying. LOL

hmm. did either of you have dim. anshors that were illegally ( but bugged ) blocked by objects?

If gammas base had block dim andchors, and ruin of iron did not, that might explain it.

Just thinking out loud.

em "wonder if either my base's are screwed"

Same here, check my post on tech issues forum, I put screenshot up.


Protector server for sure.


Also there is bug with emotes acting as chat giving you spam lock.

They need to roll all things back off servers to yesterday status.

If you move around any of your salvage created items, I bet you may get the same issue that (3) of us so far have gotten (I edit bases daily by the way since beta) .........but if I were you I wouldnt test that theory

Negatory. I moved my (one lonely) Telepad around while fussing with floor levels in the Teleport room. No ill effects.

What map did you guys zone into your base from? I was in port oakes.

They know about it and its schedules to be fixed. All "silent" emote strings should get the fix. I assume that will include emotes with an audio component like slap and taunt.

We now return you to your normally scheduled thread.

Hm... well the only thing I can think of (and it seems to make sense logically) is that there are no "raidable" items in my base, aside from my Telepad and beacons. Didn't they fuss with the code of raidable items so they'd be higher level?

That might be the source of the error.

That may isolate it a bit. We do have raid porter. Keep in mind this has never happened EVER and we have had base since day one of live. Edit daily.......and new patch. Something in there, with 2 other groups, something is very specific in this bug.

If your VG would like a base to use until yours is fixed Warface, DoIDD would be glad to coalition with you and FUSION for it's use. Let me know.

Just to clarify, I haven't lost any doorways in my base, but nothing will move, and I deleted a couple beacons to see if I could replace them someplace else, now it won't even let me put them out, it's red no matter where I try to put them.

Yeah I have that as well, as the doors.

And Black Mute thanks for the offer for the base use!!! We are okay with TPers from allies but would still welcome alliance in future!

UPDATE: Im a little perplexed about this because the base worked fine while in raid mode and edits were not a problem until after the patch. Now I am hesitant to emplace spike mazes unless this was not the "real" reason.

Hello XXXXXX,

We thank you for your patience as we researched this issue. We were able to meet with your supergroup member XXXXX to resolve the issue. It appears the issue was created due to the various obstacles you had set up in the base, such as the mazes and columns. To resolve the issue, many of the items were moved about and a few had to be deleted. The basic items were replaced and XXXXX was granted Salvage to remake the Personal items affected.

I would suggest that you sell off and refashion the base to insure that any remaining problem items do not cause the issue to happen again. If you have any further questions, please let us know.

Regards,
GM Roland

Had the same problem yesterday; went into edit mode, deleted an item and 5 doorways disappeared. Recreated the base and everything is working fine again.

Wierd thing here, base ok, but I can't place or move any items in any room that has a device that is destroyable during a raid, hence I can only place or move items in my base portal room.

sounds like they shifted raid-blockable items around and possibly the code for pathing - that would explain why multiple errors are being triggered for doorways and raid items.

On a happy note, I'm glad GMs have the capacity to fix it. yay, GMs!

Anyone else who gets this bug: /petition is your friend. Remember that /bug WON'T summon a GM to assist you. Gotta use /petition to fish up a live GM.

I lost doorways on rooms that had a vent on the wall to remove upper trim on both occasions. I lost the doorways after deleting my tech workshop. I couldn't put the doorways back in until I deleted the vents. Once gone, I put the doorways back and everything was fine.

I think it's more the case that people who got extra "creative" with their base design and exploiting a few of the bugs in the previous verision (where you could block off rooms completely with careful placement of items) are getting caught by bugfixes to the base code. I bet the pathing is the same, just minus a few bugs.

So you are thinking that anyone that took advantage, and blocked their anchors can't place anything in that whole room?

Interesting, I'll check tonight by starting witht the base that doesn't have blocked anchors to see if I can place an item.
