Finally finished what promises to be a dismal failure of an arc, but after working on it for the last three days I finally get to hit the Publish button and see the flood of "0" stars. Or at least, I should be able to...
Publish doesn't work.
Test doesn't work.
Edit and Delete work just fine.
Is there a moderator looking at this stuff as I'm going through it and just deciding to save everyone the trouble or is something going a little haywire with the MA?
Got one published, so one slot used. That's it. No errors, no used up slots, just...no publish, no Test.

This happening to anyone else?

No. No errors, no used up slots, nothing. Error is greyed out, just like the publish and test buttons.

Other than contacting support for assistance, if you shared out your .storyarc file to a few of us, we may be able to look at it and see if we can find any issues that aren't showing up in the editor.

I was thinking the issue with standard characters that have descriptions greater than 300 built in was behaving like this. Once you click on the description, then the error will show. One I ran into was with the Croatoa Witches, the Storm one I believe had 350ish characters.

yeah, that's been noted with the last patch.

Hrmm..not sure how to share it with ya, do you know how I can do that?
I do know that it was at least four other people with the same complaint on virtue around 1300EST today. We were trying to figure out the problem. It won't let us delete the character information in the vanilla NPC's, so we're pretty much stuck using the few that function. Lemme know how to share that .storyarc file with you and I would love to see if you can find a way around it.

I ran into a similar problem earlier while working on a new arc. Went to test and it gave me a 'invalid level range' error (the error thing was greyed out). Turned out it didn't like me using 'random' for the boss objective (pulling from a standard mob group): it had to be specific, which bites because I wanted the arc to have as wide a level range as possible. Once I was specific, it allowed me to test.

So you might want to check for that on yours.

I checked and rechecked the level specs, everything is checked out and okay unless there are some OTHER secret reqs that I don't know about and aren't published anywhere. It's not just one of them either. I have another arc I haven't looked at in a while, and just to check, tried to test it publish it. Can't test or publish it either. Again with no errors. What's funny about that is that I checked all the maps, checked all the mob settings, checked all the level ranges and text sizes, everything appears to be within spec. I have no idea what to do with it now, or if it's even worth it. Probably wasn't very good anyway.

Try opening the mission to edit and then republishing. If you had a map or an animation or whatever that was invalidated by a recent patch, the system automatically defaults to another one, without telling you, so it looks like there are no errors. In spite of this, it won't play unless you republish.

I currently have a ticket open with CS that the GM told me (and this is quoted from the email:

Hello,

Currently, there is an issue where the Architect is detecting basic line break as HTML code, which would artificially pad your file size. The Development Team is currently working on a resolution for this issue. Once a fix has been completed and tested, it will be made available in a future patch to the live servers.

Please keep posted to the City of Heroes/City of Villains message boards and website at http://www.cityofheroes.com or http://www.cityofvillains.com for any updates to when a fix will be implemented.

So, I don't know if that's your problem or not, but I know I can not edit my story until a fix is implemented or it shows up that I am WAYYYYYYYY over the 100% mark.
