Broken Spotlight Mission - Repairing Utopia Planitia

robbruckner

I'm the author of ~SFEF~ Repairing Utopia Planitia, it is one of the past spotlighted missions. My mission needs to be released from spotlight.

The mission uses Earth Space Dock as a launch point for you to travel to Mars. However with the new ESD the map I used no longer is available to players.

Since the mission is a Spotlight, I am unable to edit, withdraw, or delete the mission. So fixing it is out of my hands until it is released from spotlight. Given the Dil weekend I have received a number of people in game mailing me asking me to fix it.

The "Convenient Panel" from the old ESD has been wired into the panel in the conference room beneath Quinn's office for now, but the description SHOULD be updated.

According to Crypticfrost (the main dev who deals with the Foundry) they're looking into releasing the spotlights that use ESD so that the authors can update the mission entry directions. ("One Too Many" was probably hit particularly hard, since it uses multiple ESD consoles.)

For the time being, though, you're gonna have to do some looking around. The overused console is in the conference room that will be downstairs and to the left if you're in Quinn's office.

Last I heard Capt. Smirk is getting a process set up to allow editing of spotlighted Foundry missions. I expect he'll make an announcement when that's ready to go. That's all the info I have at this time.

If you're referring to the "overused panel across from the transporters", it's been hooked into a large panel in the conference room underneath Admiral Quinn's office in the new ESD. I've run the mission several times since the last republish fixed the door hooks.

If you're talking about something else, then ... I honestly have no clue. Because nothing in the mission itself has changed.

I would love to see a revamp of all the old Foundry missions if they let authors edit them.

I love that mission, and it is playable! Like others are saying the old transporter room panel is now the conference room panel under the Admiral's office. I found this out when I went to update my own foundry missions and all I had to do was update mission text, the actual trigger had been updated for me. (Keep in mind that none of my missions are spotlight, though).

I do wish they would fix the foundry issue with doors (map transition triggers) not having waypoints... It would eliminate so much of the "I can't find it!" headaches. -_- #foundrytroubles

When the OP first posted that, the mission door was, in fact, broken. Since then Cryptic came up with and implemented an automatic fix, which seems to have worked. What we're waiting on now is for spotlight authors to redo the directions to their doors, since they've all shifted position on the station.

Hey everyone,
Thanks to our team I have the submitted list of missions that need to be unlocked. I am attempting to get them unlocked by EoW so you can have the weekend to start your updates.

Will post by Friday either way if I can get it to work or I can't.

Thanks for your patience on this!

I would like to add Keeping up with the J'sens to the request list.
The last 2 seasons have somehow made positional changes to objects on the maps so now there are flickers of object overlap on several maps that I would like to fix, plus I wouldnt mind doing a spellcheck run too

pwecaptainsmirk

OK everybody, the Featured Spotlight Missions that needed to be unlocked to repair/edit have been unfeatured/unlocked.

Good luck with editing!

Still not working.

I found the panel in the conference room below Quinn's office, but it won't do anything.
