Unlockable object collections, local storage

Clorius · 04-16-2009 12:26 PM

I am wondering how/when I can unlock (or find) certain items for collections? Is there a list or some sort of requirements for certain items? Are items limited by map type?

For Example: In a mission I am creating I want to have a computer desk that has information to download; The map is one of the abandoned warehouse maps but I can't find any normal computer in the collectables section - the only computers are 2 Arachnos computers and 1 Rikti computer; none of those work for that idea.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, a question on local storage... phenomenah:

I have only one arc I am working on at the moment - I have auto save turned on because I have had an issue with being DC'd before work was saved (my bad I know). The thing is that in my 'Local' storage tab it shows 2 arcs as being present - both the same arc but one with the file name 'autosave' the other with the proper file name; Is this normal? Does the auto save create a new file? That kinda defeats the purpose since if you are losing work due to a DC you will have to open one file and save it as the other file (my mindset at work, may confuse myself).

Anyone else seeing this?

Check wall collectibles. There are desks with computers and laptops on top.

As an added bonus they'll be as worn-down as the surroundings.

Before you assign a filename to an arc it'll be called "autosave". This is also true for anything that autosaves when you edit it after it's been published.

As long as you open the one with an actual filename it'll save to that filename.
