    Hi all,

    Perhaps I need to postpone this for a while. :(:(:(

    Try as I may I have not been having any luck getting Foundry editor working without it crashing my instance.

    Perhaps as soon as stability has returned to the Foundry I can pick this up.

    Please would all those still interested in PS subscribe to the "Persistent Foundry" channel so we can stay in touch.

    Yeah, there IS a notable bug in the Foundry editor. I believe that Cryptic/PWE is working on a fix right now!

    This is just my quick thoughts/rambles. I was thinking about the Foundry earlier today while shopping.

    Players can pay money or time to get the best gear, best ships, best characters... essentially, they could pay (or play) to win.

    Yet, no matter how much money I could be dumping into the Foundry... I still wouldn't be able to even use the darn thing without dropping to 10 FPS, or get a mission out without 5.6k errors.

    This is how horrendous the Foundry has become. I can't be successful in publishing a mission, and there isn't anything I can do about it. Oh, and Costume Import is gone now too. So we're losing features and functionality here, and even though my wallet is open for Cryptic's Foundry to take advantage of, I can't do anything to get this mission done on time before I leave in September.

    Cryptic. Foundry is getting fat and incapable. Hire a personal trainer to get it back in shape. :)

    To all of you working on this project who are dismayed by the slow load times.

    there is a workaround.

    Preview maps load very quickly if the workaround is used.

    information can be found on a few threads here on these forums and also at StarbaseUGC.Com

    The workaround has made the Foundry useable again.
    You should definately check it out

    I'll give you a summary. The slow load glitch seems to happen when you add objects from the sidebar to a map. Or maybe when you create new costumes. If you do either, you can save and exit then reload to clear the bug. You can "add" objects to a map by duplicating an existing object then changing what it is.

    (I haven't forgotten about this I just haven't had time :( )

    As far as I know, they've finally resolved the long loading time problems.
    It's also mentioned on StarbaseUGC.

    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    I can confirm that the load times for testing map is only a few second. But I haven't changed any costumes yet. I usually don't need to.
    For my latest mission I had to change multiple costumes, friendlies and enemies. I haven't seen any delays after changing their costumes. So for me it's safe to assume it's completely fixed.

    Since my last post i have been working on my mission!! :P so excited. No glitches to report. And no mistakes this time
    This is gonna be epic. I just hope those with potential attention deficit order will get it together long enough to not mind the amount of dialogue that I have.
    And yes don't worry. You'll get to pew pew when its necessary.
    Space Pew Pew == omnomnom but story == glue that holds everything together.
    P.S. Stoutes, I love your quote, and link, in your signature area :P
    Thank you :D, I do quite a bit programming myself, so I have seen it all, haha..

    I need some help. I played through a foundry mission that, initially, took place in ESD, where the base was, visually, being damaged in certain areas.

    I have no idea how to do that..... :confused:
    I presume you mean the inside of ESD? I know about Ashkrik23 who used ESD in his mission "Perfection, part 1". Try looking back in your mission log; it might still be mentioned there..

    I meant the captain's log :). I normally open this using the "J" button, then choosing the last tab "Logs".

    You mean setting up a graphic to make it look like a starbase is destroyed?

    use a trigger to make the starbase prop disappear, while simultaneously spawning an explosion effect and debris field.

    Something's wrong, the PFP site is down...

    Drk, if you need more money to keep it running, send me a PM ingame or via Twitter and I'll donate what I can.
