Hopefully the lag will be fixed as a by-product. Don't wanna start rumors, but maybe a server blew on their end? Would make sense since so many people were complaining about lag. Maybe one of the poor things just gave out and they're having to boot up a replacement. Sucks, but HAMSTER happens.

I mean "Emergency" pretty much covers it for now, for me - obviously they weren't expecting this either, or they would have given us notice. We're all disappointed but it isn't like Cryptic is out to get us... this is bad for them, not good. We're not victims of them "choosing" to ruin our plans... Whatever happened sucks…
-
Ok! Not just me then :tongue: Everything ok over there?
-
Fair enough... I wasn't around back then so maybe I'm a bit less "burnt out" in regards to how long The Foundry has been under-prioritized... :disappointed: That said, I myself still felt like it was being thrown out after only a few months of waiting for it... then getting it "back" for a few months, only for it to go…

@mattjohnsonva I started this thread over the same fears you have: that The Foundry was getting side-lined. A lot of us have been worried about that. I think the Mod and Dev replies above though should make it clear that it is very much coming back for both our games. I do just want to point out that, while the devs may…
-
LOL! I did that when the publishing error happened recently. And I agree, a "The Foundry is under maintenance - check back soon!" message in the Catalogue would be great, and so would a formal "The Foundry is back online! Authors, check to see if your quests need updates etc." in the main "News" page when it comes back up…
-
That's ok, it's been nice that you've all been giving us these updates on how it's going. Hopefully the rest of that task list will go by smoothly for you all :)
-
It's good to hear that the engineers are hard at work getting The Foundry back online - I'm excited to get back to it! :)
-
The broken map-transitions have been happening since The Foundry came back online a few months ago, but as was pointed out to me, they work just fine after publishing - it's only in The Foundry that it jumps you back to the start of the same map. As for events not triggering, I've encountered that one a bunch of times too,…

> @iandarksword said: Zeb is right, this is absolutely normal following a module/mid-module release. Dev Patrick mentioned in the Maintenance Stream that they're actually working on getting us some newer maps and assets to place. I'm not sure what or how recent the new assets will be, or any ETA on the new stuff, but…
-
Totally agree with you: any way we can reward players more for playing our foundries is a good move in my book, especially if it can't get abused by "authors" who make all those "QuIcK eAsY fOuNdRy ReWaRdS!!!" quests :pensive: Really? Is it too much text regardless, or do you mine if it's all optional story? Just curious…
-
Ok, thank you for the clarification. Sorry I jumped to conclusions. :smile:
-
Please tell us we're wrong. The Foundry community is here. we just need reliable tools.
-
Just published my current build and played through as my real character (so much nicer than playing as "Author" lol!). I took a bunch of notes on things to tweak before the next publish tomorrow, and I also took a bunch of screenshots of The Crypt! This is the currently published version, and it's also the zone I'm doing…
-
Woo! It works for me too! Thanks @"ukunaka#3833" for letting us know, and thanks Cryptic for bringing the publishing server back online :smiley:
-
Still working on it, just can't publish. (almost at the detail limit again though lol, this time in a MUCH smaller space) Look Cryptic... Hate me, Hurt me, or Help me, but believe it or not I do have a long-time following of amateur content creators behind me. Show me I'm bringing them somewhere they can show off, and I'll…
-
Still can't publish this, and since The Foundry is a promised feature of NWO that I've put so much time into (as a customer who has spent several hundred dollars on this game just hoping The Foundry would come back online), it really bothers me... I really do feel like these past few months were a tease and flat-out…
-
Please don't get rid of The Foundry. Help those of us who care about it make it matter. It's free content, we just need functioning tools and proper marketing. I mean, is there something you see that we don't? I'm hoping the publishing server is down for maintenance and that The Foundry is going to be formally re-launched…
-
In truth, I love the feedback and the comments, and would love suggestions, but as selfish as it sounds, I'm building this thing for me. This is my outlet and I just love getting the dang lighting right and an getting things to blow up or set fire when the story calls for it. NWO is nothing like NWN when it comes to…
-
if there were one, and only one, thing I could ask for from the foundry it would be more accurate bounding boxes for lights. Just being able to truly tell what a light will reach in the 3D editor would be wicked, because this: You can browse my thread for "The Crypt" for more detail, however, if y'all wanna get crazy with…
-
(also yes, during the puzzle you will see the 'outside" effect) And also also - heck yes I built an entire puzzle just so the player could see one area I created. I'm sick, I love this, and I don't care if anyone else cares lol.
-
Still can't publish, however - I BUILT THE CLIMBING PUZZLE!!! I tried so many ways to make it look natural, and it ended up being Pirate's Skyhold props hahaha. Would have never thought they would be fitting for a Crypt, but they are. I also decided (drunkenly), to rip up the entire floor of the crypt (it was made of…
-
Hahaha well, I guess we should be used to it since they never even officially announced bringing the foundry back online. Can we hope that they’ve taken down the publishing server because they’re planning on formally reviving the foundry in the next mod and need to do maintenance on it? Or am I just too much of a dreamer…
-
I'm having the same problem with my quest. Maybe there was a bug in the last patch? Or the publishing server has been down? Let's keep trying and let each other know when it's working again.
-
For some reason I keep getting a "Publish Failed" error, but, this zone is no-where near done anyway lol. Here are a few new screenshots: I decided to go for a much more cluttered, dirty, and old look to The Crypt. Not sure if I'll keep this, but I'm also playing around with some dead-overgrowth coming through collapses…
