no not yet. My sleeping habits have been kind of screwed up. So i might do that in the next few days.
Although I don't know how well I'll be able to work out the kinks in the foundry (since I'm still a novice at creating missions - i'm having problems with the map-transfer triggers. Maybe its because I need to publish it first.... )
Sure, there's no major rush. All it is, is a resource for both yourself and other players. Well that, and talking about Foundry/STO stuff in general.
And if you are continuing to have problems, don't hesitate to ask any one of us, we're all one big happy fleet! Er, "authors"!

Apocalypse, check your trigger's visibility settings. It may be invisible due to a wrong setting.
And hurrah! More authors!
One race I'd like to see are the Caeliar. If someone could make them, and have Erika Hernandez and Inyx as guest stars, you would be the most awesome person ever.

Even though the Borg thing was kinda cheesy, the Caeliar species is the most interesting fanmade species I have ever read. I'd like to see them ingame, even if only briefly.

hmmm species wise they were cool up until the borg connecton.
Yeah, the Foundry is a tricky thing. It's temperamental and works weird.
(Then again, this is coming from a guy who did mission making in Star Wars Battlefront II... Oh boy, ZeroEditor was FUN!)

I hope you have more room for helpers/collab. If so I tooootally want in on this
Im sure the 'Tal' race would be a fantastic contribution to the Dark Frontier Series!
In my defence I actually thought the Betazoids sub-plots and espionage was cool, but when i suggested similair arcs people were stating "theres to much espionage already".
I have an idea for a scene with the Federation President in a later episode of mine, perhaps we can work together on that... and I have already modified my mission to mention a fleet forming up at Betazed and an Undine replacing Commodore Winston as opposed to Trill... makes more sense too as Betazed is closer to the KDF-CRD conflict.
OH and FYI my plan for the FED will largely be based on players votes but for the most part they will stay Nuetral, dealing with behind the scenes stuff mostly until things 'heat up'

visibility....hmm ok.
But i'm encountering another problem now.
my list on the left shows 3 things that haven't been resolved: 2 of them are referencing things on the holo-deck and one is referenecing something in the Unplaced tab. But I'm checking everything, and there's NOTHING in the Unplaced tab for any of them Could it be a bug???
EDIT: I noticed when I logged back in, that there WAS an object in the Unplaced tab for a ground map, but the trigger in my list now uses ANOTHER object, and the plant that has remained in the Unplaced tab is just sitting there. When I place it on the map the notice on the left changes from the name of the map to some sort of 'Holo-deck' alpha-numeric reference that I can't completely delete
EDIT2: somehow i removed one of the latter problems. But the other one still remains for some reason. Would be wonderful to know how they get corrected somehow....meh
What "unplaced object" really means is that an objective uses an object but the data field telling it which object to use is blank. The easy fix is to find the objective and click on the box to tell it what object to use.
Do the other errors have the word "untranslated" in them somewhere?
Update: I've been modifying my existing foundry mission to fit what we are doing here, and I really can't understand why I can't transition from my second map, which is in space, to the planet in the same map. The triggers are in the event tree, and they are clearly labeled as "Leaving <fill in the blank>".
My previous map is indoors, I am able to speak to my contact there. And when I finish talking to her, the map transition pop-up appears to take me to the space system I mentioned above.
I arrive at the system, speak to my two contacts, but the stupid trigger (the planet is the way-point) doesn't occur! And again the map triggers are clearly listed in the tree.
Maybe one of you could provide screen shots of such triggers (as shown in the event trees) so I can compare it to what I have to see what isn't working....
Here is the screen shot of it, and no, it doesn't say that. For some reason I'm checking each event in the tree, and each of them is using an object. I suspect it might be because I changed the object being used, and that's why its showing that.
P.S. thank you drkfrontiers for the links
Hmm... in the map these objectives are taking place... is there a little orange triangle on the unplaced tab?
If not... Im unsure on this one.
Edit: I think its the one about an object interaction you have yet to place into the map.
"State transition has no objective specified"
This pops up if you tell an object to switch from visible to invisible based on a mission objective completion.
"Must place all components in unplaced before proceeding"
Yeah, this sounds like you have an interact with object objective that doesn't have the object specified. Or maybe dialog with contact,,,,
Have you tried clicking the tab on the right hand side of each map; 'Unplaced'?
Sometimes during an Objective you set it up to 'Interact with object' but then forget to select an object on the map.
