The Foundry will be ready later today for your weekend building needs.

Have fun UGC Authors, and stay tuned for a special announcement about a special limited time Foundry challenge-ette!

We do have reports that a small selection of missions will require a little extra loving care from our Dev staff, so if your mission is not accessible by today, we hope to have them ready by early next week. Stay tuned for more details, and if your mission is broken or uneditable, please let me know here with:

Author Name:
Mission name:
Faction:
Problem/Issue: (broken or just uneditable)

Thanks everyone!

    What about spotlights? While its not unplayable, the past several seasons have introduced visual bugs into one of my missions. At some point a subtle shift in object alignments occurred (I assume the math on elevations changed) and numerous objects are misaligned now, causing visual clipping. I have asked on several occasions in these forums for the oppurtunity to fix this, and here we are another update, another request. The actual time to repair this wouldn't be a terrible amount of time, but it would go a long way to quality of life for the mission

    Numerous object overlap issues.

    I think you will find that at the moment ONLY the spotlights are back (and its 6:30am Cryptic Standard Time) if they are gonna turn the editor back on this weekend, Ill be suprised considering the present lack of republished missions but in smirk we have...patience?

    So I assumed that was the editor.

    No.
    Check the post time of that message.
    He said "later today", but he said that yesterday.
    "Join Date: Jun 2012" Says Cryptic's "new" forum system. I've been here since a week before launch, but SOME stuff just didn't carry over through multiple system changes/updates. :rolleyes:

    Hey Smirk,

    I've got 2 missions that I need access to to fix some stuff.

    First is...

    Purity II: Of Thought
    by Bazag
    for Federation.

    The issue is that some assets has appeared to shift around leaving gaps where there shouldn't be gaps, some walls have been raised. Most things look fine but something just aren't right and change the look.

    Second is

    The Honour of Profit
    by Bazag
    for Klingon

    There's been a long standing bug about certain mobs teleporting through walls where they shouldn't be but seeing Purity II needed to be de-spotlit I thought you might be able to kill two birds with one stone.

    Thanks.

    ... or not.

    Seriously though, what is going on with the rest of the republishing process?
  • cerritourugcerritourug Member Posts: 1,376 Arc User
    edited October 2014
    Foundry tool is still offline, and no mission has been republish. I understend that last moment complications exist, but at least let us know. This way, its seems that they completly forget about it.

    The Dev team probably said:

    "We're turning on the STO Foundry auto-republish today..." (And as all Foundry authors know from past experience, it takes a couple weeks to get everything auto republished - assuming the process doesn't stall/crash, which happened in the past too.)

    What Smirk probably heard and mentally processed:

    "We're turning on the STO Foundry[...] today...":eek::D

    He either jumped the gun, or was told a timeline and posted it, only for something to cause a delay.

    Either way, he ought to know better than to post a timeline of any kind.

    At any case, a warning that is a a delay would be welcome. At this point, only show how much they care..

    As of right now, this posting, the Foundry is not online.. Which is unfortunate. I wanted to try my hand at making a mission.

    Checked at 11:20pm PST and the Foundry seems to be listing all missions now.

    Not even near "all" category. Foundry has been a part of the game for a while, there is more than just 60-ish missions.

    I still have one mission not published yet.

    For reasons I mentioned elsewhere, I wouldn't count on it being republished automatically.
