Unable to publish

malakut

Anyone else having this issue?


I keep getting "Error during publish. Publish Failed: sbNoPublishing is set."

Did I get "banned" from making foundries or something?

reiwulf

probably a temporary problem, try to log out and log in again.

Already performed that action. I've remade a test quest for test publish purposes and still the same error.

Is your quest part of a Campaign? Once, I had the same problem and tried republishing my quest for several times with no success. Then I got the idea to remove it from the Campaign and publising it before making it a part of the roster. And it worked instantly. I'm not sure if it was just a coincidence or if the problem was resolved by that action. Still, if that's the case you should give it a try.

Sorry about the double reply, I don't know how it happened. What's more I can't find how to delete it, there's no option in the ''edit post'' for deletion. If anyone knows how, tell me in order to delete this and one of the others.

I have a campaign quest, a single quest and a blank test publish quest and none of them will publish. As far as deleting a post on the forums, only mods can do it if i recall correctly.

Still waiting for a dev or mod or whomever to take a look at this issue per a CSR's request:
Hello,

Thank you for your reply. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you but again, Customer Service does not provide support for Foundry issues.

The best way for us to ensure that this is resolved as quickly as possible is for you to directly submit a report via our official forum.

http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/forumdisplay.php?1151-The-Foundry.

This ensures that our developer and quality assurance teams receive all of the information they need to properly investigate the cause of a given issue.

March 2nd... still not able to publish.

Apparently a known/acknowledged bug since June 2013.

Looks like you're out of luck - no foundry for you.

malakut

Yepp, I read that foundry. All I want is a basic explanation from a Cryptic Employee about what sbNoPublishing stands for. They hopped right on to that Admin Spam earlier so I know there's someone in the office.

Unbelievable! This is just blatant and negligent disregard for the players; to have a bug that affects gameplay is one thing, but to have this, which doesn't affect but prevents a major aspect of this game from being enjoyed, an aspect which is the only thing that some of the players (albeit, a very small portion) remain on hand for, with zero efforts or concern to determine the cause, much less correct it. Its a good thing that the staff at Cryptic and PWE don't work in a real industry, like Health IT. I can't imagine them having to resolve some of the MUMPS bugs that I trace through a dozen and a half routines of spaghetti-code, much less resolve them.

Utterly appalling.

I think any foundry post goes right in the trash before reading.

As was stated in previous posts, the Foundry for all intents and purposes is a finished product in terms of NWO. It doesn't have any model proving to the exsects that it makes any sort of income to pay for developer's time. Hoping that bugs eill be fixed in a short time period or that any improvements will be made short of a hand full of assets and encounters is no more likely to happen than the human race establishing a colony in another solar system. As one of the community managers said on The STO forforum, perhaps they can convince one of the devs to come in on thier own time and do a few lines of code.

malakut

The problem is that I'm not even looking for a fix! I'm just looking for a simple definition of sbNoPublishing!

malakut

I am also getting the same issue in the preview server.

malakut

Three days later... Looks like I'ma have to see if customer support has any updates for me.

What apocrs said. Good luck.

It's not a bug. If you get this error, it means that you have been banned from publishing foundry quests. I am having this issue right now as well. The ban is permanent.

Woah. Permanent? Did you get any kind of explanation/warning??

Awfully nice of them to allow you to get into the foundry and waste hours and hours and days of time only to be prevented from publishin. You'd think they could have disabled the foundry button instead.

kreatyve

No. They sent me a mail in game when they banned my 2 foundry quests, but they did not tell me that I was not ever going to be able to publish another foundry quest. I didn't know it until I tried to publish one and couldn't get it to work. Then I waited a few days, talked to Akro and contacted Customer Service. I had no clue that they could even ban you from publishing quests. But, it is what it is.

iirc weren't your quests removed because you dared to have the thayan portals that were part of Foundry in them? And even though thayan portals are back as an asset in mod 6 (http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?858271-Thayan-Portal-Returned-to-Foundry&p=10247371&viewfull=1#post10247371), you are permabanned from making quests. Even though Cryptic player spotlighted you (http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/news/detail/9052193-player-spotlight-alustrial-f%C3%A6r%C3%BFdae), the only person to ever get spotlighted?

Can you tell us what about those 2 quests caused them to be banned?

It'd be nice if they told us where the minefield was instead of surprise carnage.

Zebular actually got spotlighted before Kreatyve, and there have been players spotlighted after.

malakut

It doesn't matter who's been spotlighted or not, the fact of the matter is that neither kreatyve nor I received any form of notification regarding these so-called permabans. As far as my quests, I didn't receive any in-game mail regarding any of them saying they had been banned or not.

That's exactly my issue. Why should we as authors get punished for using assets that were provided to us?

No warnings. They'll still let you invest your time in the quests and save them, just not publish. I also thought that "Infinite Content" was one of their "hooks" for getting players to invest their time into the game.

Infinite Content

Neverwinter comes with the Foundry, a dynamic toolset that provides you the game assets and a sandbox environment to create your own adventures. When your creation is complete, you can hook it up directly into the existing world for everyone in the community to play!

Maybe, but you'd think they'd be a little more forgiving with someone whom they thought enough of to spotlight, a note saying "hey, your quests are violating the standards, please change them before we have to do something about it". Secretly permabanning a featured player would leave a poor taste in their mouth in my opinion.

Their exact quote as to why my quests got banned: "Your mission was being used as a farming exploitation mission, and was banned permanently"

So, if you make a foundry quest, please make sure that nobody can farm it, or you could be banned from making foundry quests.

And no, I didn't have any portals in my quests. I had a Waukeen box farming quest, and another quest that wasn't really a farming quest, but set on a farm, called Kreatyve's Easy Farm, because well, it was easy. But it did have a story!

reiwulf

permanently banned? that's ridiculous, even more because of the reasons of it. At most they should prevent further publishing untill you've fixed the quests that are giving problems.

nwoun1

Typical Cryptic approach. It seems they have singled out some popular quests that met certain criteria and went from there instead of a solid global solution. There are plethora of farm maps even with the old portals still available.
