Hi everyone!
We've enabled playing of Foundry missions on Holodeck again.
This thread is the official thread for any issues you find with the republished missions that WERE NOT present before Season 6.
Known Issues:
Edited the date to be slightly more (though not entirely) global-friendly.
We've enabled playing of Foundry missions on Holodeck again.
This thread is the official thread for any issues you find with the republished missions that WERE NOT present before Season 6.
Known Issues:
- We have allowed authors to specify the display names of objects. This means that many objects will have awkward names until the authors can update them.
- Map transfer will fail for missions where the map mission text wasn't specified and/or the map change dialogs weren't filled in/customized.
- In all our testing, we found only one project with this problem. It doesn't seem widespread at all.
- At this time, republish is still ongoing. All projects should be published by about midday Saturday, July 28th, PDT.

Check out my Foundry missions:
Standalone - The Great Escape - The Galaxy's Fair - Purity I: Of Denial - Return to Oblivion
Untitled Series - Duritanium Man - The Improbable Bulk - Commander Rihan
Haha, not on your life.
I'm eager to get back in and hungry for assets but I appreciate the measured approach being taken here.
No matter if that's 7:28 AM/PM, you have an interesting definitionn of "Midday".:eek:
(And if it's AM, and you cionsider that your Midday; I want to party with you as you must stay up all hours of gthe night too.

That's the date.
- I've noticed that areas of my Foundry mission, where camera shake and rumble had previously been present, no longer shake my screen. Both the camera shake and rumble options are 'on', in my settings, but with no result. The sound FX from the camera shake/rumble assets are still present, just without the screen shake.
I'm not sure if this is a general gameplay bug, or one that's connected to the explosion/camera shake foundry assets.

Mission: "Vulcan Love Slave #9"
*Interactive objects that are now very hard to line up correctly that worked fine before (scanning objects where I needed to keep moving around for the interact option to appear and stay available).
*Triggers for background effects not working in the same order they did before.
*Randomly, dialogue boxes that appear when a task is completed don't go away and the next task can't load up. Both times this happened I was forced to leave the game and re-enter to clear up the problem.
DOH! :eek::P:D

Were you using a sustained shake or a one time shake?
I am happy to report that 2 of my missions that I tested appear to be fine, camera shakes included, the one missing thing being space objects which I'll need to go back and name.
I do have one concern. is there any particular order these are being republished? I see the first mission I ever made is back, and so are the last 3. are they going in some other order besides chronological?
On the Theodore Map I have set up a replicators to interact with, it leaving a 'Interact' tab after completing interaction.

On the St George Map, I have a npc costume contact typing on a consule. The consule is replaced with a generator.

The Floods at Home. Part 2 (ST-HMVKDJ2ZS)
Same problem with the replicators as I mentioned above on the Amberley and Amberley#2 map.

I did have this problem before season 6, but it has gotten worse with the latest updates. I selected I npc to portray a role in the diolog comes up find in the editor, but when published it comes up with a different costume. I know I'm the only one with this problem with this mission after others have played it with no effect.
Thanks.

I take it that was my mission, "One Too Many". And I really REALLY appreciate you catching it and seeing that it was not published with that break in it. At least, I can't find it on Holodeck so I assume it wasn't published.
The last map transfer used the apparent bug in order to leave from anywhere on ESD, I was going to pull it pre-S6 launch (and try to think of a way to fix it) but I was expecting it a week later than it happened.
Again, thank you so much for your care with this Season Transfer. The fact there is this brief moment without player reviews is a real positive as we check on our missions and do not have the current ability to edit them. And if you did make sure my mission didn't publish due to this break, thank you so very much for not leaving it tarnished.
Really, some people may be upset about the time scale but I'm not. Thank you very much for learning and showing the contrary to what so many nay-sayers that appeared post S4 said you were. You in fact, do, give a damn.
Edit* This is actually only intermittent. Some maps it works, some maps it doesn't. Example map it doesn't work is the ground map from War Games. The one with the ground clutter. It worked there before however...
Issue: Combat Mobs are no longer returning to their default positions after combat. That is, if a mob goes into combat and survives (ally or foe) they return to their default animations but no in the original location and position. Pre-S6 they would run back to their old positions or would beam to those locations if otherwise too far or inaccessible.
To reproduce (I assume, since I don't have editor access):
1: Create a friendly mob and a hostile mob placed where they will fight one another when they appear.
2: Watch fight. (player participation or popcorn optional)
3: Surviving mobs will stop and stand wherever they were when the combat ends, instead of returning to default location.
Other Notes: Back at launch I think this is how mobs behaved, and we were elated when they changed it so the mobs would return to default positions. It breaks some immersion when your allies start talking to empty space or attempt to repair the walls they were running into instead of whatever tasks they were doing before. I can't remember when the update came through to change their behavior that allowed them to return to old positions.
Edit* Yeah... I tried this on another published mission and there was no trouble. I would say it is due to ground clutter, but the second mission had more than the first. The firsts clutter was actually from map design rather than added props. I'll do more testing around.
As a gold, you get access to the Foundry editor. As a silver, your access is gone. Or at least that is what happened in my case. Therefore, if this "update" breaks something, it will be forever broken.

Also, A Will and a Barclay has a bug in the last mission. The entire holodeck has dropped 3-5 meters into the terrain, leaving only me, Barclay, the top of the door, and the upper half of the holodeck, on a brownish, flat terrain.
Also, the thing about Silvers being restricted from Foundry usage is a big, fat lie.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
I'm a silver who was a gold and I have access to everything. Or I will when editing is turned back on. Right now its off for everyone.
They must have changed something then. Back when my account went back to silver when it was up, I no longer could do anything with the Foundry other than play missions that were available.

Silver players who had previously been gold, or who have purchased foundry project slots with Dilithium, are able to access the foundry. There was a bug that was preventing players from accessing the foundry, but that was fixed quite a while ago.
Anyways, I noticed two minor issues in "Slaves and Seductions.'
I was using a ready room with a closed door to the bridge. In the mission, the door is supposed to malfunction, leading the player to do a site to site transport. This door is now open, so it makes no sense. But, it's something that I can fix fairly easily.
The other part in the mission is weird, and I'm not sure what is causing it. There is a sequence where the player orders a drink from the replicator, a drink appears, and then the player drinks the bloodwine. It still works, but now there is a mysterious "interact" prompt that does nothing and never goes away.
Again, that's probably something that I can fix easily.
Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. I caught it myself when I played through it to test. It probably has to do with how I set up the Holodeck Object to be level with Terran or Coordinates. I'll be able to fix it when the editing opens up no problem.
Again, I'm grateful reviews are disabled so I'm not getting slapped for the error atm.
Here is how it is set up.
1. A replicator is covering two martini glasses on the floor.
2. edit: oops, this step was wrong, move to step 3.
3. Interact text on martini A: "Order non-synthaholic drink." Interact text on martini B: "Order Synthaholic drink."
4. Martini A is set to disappear if martini B is chosen; Martini B is set to disappear if martini A is chosen.
5. If Martini A is chosen, two more glasses are set to appear (still in the floor under the replicator). Interact text on both correspond to a specific drink choice, and each glass is set to disappear if the other drink is chosen. If martini B is chosen, it's the same sort of set up, where two other glasses appear, with interact texts corresponding to drink choices.
6. Finally, depending on the drink choice, an object appears in the replicator, such as a bloodwine cup. They are set to disappear with "this component complete" which uses a drinking animation for the toon.
OK, so what happens instead:
3 choices are shown: "Interact" "Order Synthahol" "Order Non-Synth", followed each time by the other choices, each have this mysterious "interact" choice that does nothing.
I hope that makes sense. It's the very first task for the player to do in "The Return to Terra Nova."
I guess mine was part of the 1% too as I can't find it. So when the Foundry editing is enabled again, I can find out why at that time?
