    I did. Again. To no avail. I think I might scrap the project and start over. Because i won't be able to publish it this way. :(
    Unless someone else figures out the problem
    Try doing a screen shot of your story objectives.

    I can zoom in on this one but I can only see the detail of the first objective.

    i'm not sure to what you are referring.... are you talking about the RIGHT side?? or the ones on the bottom?

    in any case, here is 543762_10152795939340515_214260158_n.jpg

    you've put the stroy item into the wrong map.

    Had a feeling this was it.
    On one of the objectives in your story (Example: Scan Computer), you havn't chosen an item from the map, so not only have you got an objective without an item to interact with (First Error Line) but you got a default object caused by that story interaction/objective that hasn't been placed (Second Error Line).

    In short; Go through your story and check EVERY objective, it may have an error sign next to one of the map names. You are looking for an onbective/interaction without a selected object.

    Example: The Objective is 'Plant Explosive', but the Objective in the Story hasn't had the Item selected.

    This any help? :S


    IMPORTANT ADDITION: I believe it may be at a map transfer point that you dont have a point selected, check all of those first!

    First off, in order to design a truly epic arc I am looking at this point to "recruit" spotlight authors that would be interested in collaborating with me.

    Wow, great idea! I, myself, am working on the first episode of a planned 40+ episode series! And your idea (collaboration with spotlight authors) is very much similar to the partnership I have entered into with the foundry author, dariuskoronikov! If you wish to find out more about this series, drkfrontiers, feel free to pm me! Pretty much, the partnership's "contract" is that dariuskoronikov will allow me to use his series' characters and ships, BUT, I am NOT allowed to kill off any of his characters or destroy any of his named ships! Past that, I pretty much have free reign in what I can do! (there is a bit of talk between us as well... pm me to learn more about it). With regards to further details on my planned series, I will post a thread dedicated to it after the publishing of my first episode: Yin and Yang! I will be quite interested in finding out more about this upcoming "production!" Please, keep me posted!

    Thanks Sampa :)

    Yes for sure I will keep you posted and collaboration is what its all about.

    For now, we are in a kinda strange pre-launch limbo due to the nature of Season 8 exp. I am not entirely sure of the merits of starting the project until the exp. is released.

    Once released its going to be full steam for certain.

    At the end of it, I hope that players will feel part of an ongoing roller-coaster ride like the Star Trek Seasons TOS, TNG, VOY, ENT, and DS9

    We lost our Dominion author to real life so if you are interested there are always spots open.

    When we set sail we will do a head count of authors again to see who is on-board and the open spots.

    sorry I forgot to get back to this earlier.

    BEHOLD: http://marhawkman.deviantart.com/art/example-of-a-possible-error-369259621?q=gallery%3Amarhawkman&qo=0

    the yellow box marks a "Kill enemies" objective.

    the orange box marks the part of the objective where it lists the enemy groups you need to kill for this objective.

    the red box marks an enemy group that hasn't been selected.

    note how the error in the lower left is the same as the one you have.

    As interesting as that job may be, I am already slated to use up ALL 40 of my alloted Foundry mission slots writing my own 40 episode series called: Star Trek: Ragnarok! This is also a followon to a fellow foundry author called dariuskoronikov's completed 40 episode series: Star Trek: Odyssey! Also, I am not at all accomplished in the foundry yet, still learning the system (any help with figuring out how to make npc contacts visible would be well taken). But, I will be MORE than happy to help test-run the episodes as they come out! Just alert me to the publishing of a new episode, and I will go test it as soon as I am able! But, thanks for the invite! And, if you play through my series and feel that you want to add it into an odd misc. slot of your collaborative series, let me know and I will be more than happy to negotiate compromise (it's rather doubtful for it fitting as I am REALLY going outside the box in terms of story elements!)

    this was just an example of what an unplaced object looks like in the story panel. You'll have to look through the rest.

    Hey, I just wanted to mention that another reason for my declining your offer to join the team of writers, is because, my own planned 40+ episode (which I will, from now on, refer to as phases) foundry series: Star Trek: Ragnarok, is basicly my own adaptation of Gundam SEED and Space Battleship Yamato I, II, and III with the already existing Star Trek Online universe. Also, my series is planned to be a basic continuation of dariuskoronikov's Star Trek: Odyssey series, which he has already completed! Once again, thank you for the invitation to join this series' mission writer team!

    Great to see the banter.

    I must say it has been a grueling wait for LoR to launch, but we are nearing that moment where its full steam ahead with the project!!

    Oh I do hope that the foundry gets some ninja love :)

    Naturally I have been somewhat cautious to start the project until the expansion was live and we can be assured of no nightmarish Foundry issues which usually plague something this epic.

    Though we have lost a few to RL, the rest of you! Buckle-up and prepare yourselves for a joy ride like it was the summer of 2409!

    I am finishing my UFP Mission this week, If I have time, I will also do the UND.

    In my mission, Betazed is involved as the staging point/headquarters for one of the UFP Fleets as a potential counter strike against any Klingon attacks on the Federation.
    I would be happy to let co-ordinate with apocalypse2001 but he will have to do it by Friday. :)

    lol ........ yes. I'm just going to come up with a completely new script for the Betazoid story line. At least so I can post something on the drkfrontiers section for the Betazoids
    Could you post screenshots of all the misison objectives? I could look over them and see if I can spot an error.

    I have published my United Federation of Planets mission.
    It involves the Dominion, Klingons, Cardassians, Betazoids and the Undine in terms of faction connections.
    Feel free to play it and leave me corrections and/or suggestions on the Dark Frontiers site; Site Link. :)

    Hopefully I will get the weekends to come back and edit my mission before I am sent away.
    PLEASE, play though by the end of the month, as any changes needed to my mission wont be changed after that point so if there is a conflict of interests/canon, then you will have to change you are doing as opposed to myself. :o

    UFP - The Enemies Within


    Additional: I have just removed the Invisible Wall in the Casino Ship.

    Important Announcement:

    I hope this reaches everyone in time. If you haven't heard already, the Costume Import feature of the Foundry will be removed for an indefinite amount of time. The link to the opposition thread is in my signature. (May 20, 2013)

    I highly suggest to each author, to Save, and Import the costumes they have now into both their existing faction mission, and a blank mission.
    • The faction mission so they have access to the costumes and can delete them at any time
    • The blank mission so if a sequel comes up, you can copy that blank and make a sequel using the costumes.

    I highly recommend the following links to download just in case, in addition to your self made costumes.

    Remember, once the Costume Import feature is gone, we cannot share costumes with one another, separate of taking photographs of the sliders and colour choices - a tedious process. Also, starships out of a window will no longer be possible unless the costumes are already somewhere in the Foundry (hence why I suggested to save them to a blank template).

    Why are the doing this?! are they hurt that our foundry missions are showing up their own!? why destroy the quality of the foundry like this??? :mad:

    Apparently it's because it's broken, and instead of actually working for their money, Cryptic decides to remove the feature completely.

    In there defence; I have noticed alot of glitches with the Import ability, I just hope they repair it this time instead of making us wait only to get another faulty ability.:rolleyes:
