In the name of testing, it would be much better if you simply ran the corresponding quest yourself first and let us know.

I tried the rebel destroy mission. Went to the rogue corsec base and tried to search the storage crate. It did not give me the option to search it. I did not have the correct document in my inv beforehand. I think the storage crate is broken.

It's not broken, but the old guides have the wrong waypoint locations for a couple of the search-locations.

Also: whenever encountering anything 'radial' related, always do a quick soft-relog just in case it might just be de-sync related.

Poobacca
08-20-2017, 08:00 PM
other other wps were fine. Do you have a correct wp for that location nee? I tried softlogging. The *only* storage crate is in the mini bunker there and it cant be searched. I was on leave as a rebel at the time. I was able to search the other locations while on leave. I can confirm it is not a lag issue. There is a workaround however. If you wind up having the necessary document in the unsearchable crate, you can reset the mission back at kor vela till you get it at a differnet location.

I would file a report if I could, but I have been prohibited from contributing from Mantis. Unless you reinstate me, you will have to do it yourself. I am also testing all the non-village quests. I have yet to do the imperial ones. When I am done I will report what I found. (there is one uncompleteable quest so far, but looking up info on it I found that it was not finished and uncompleable on live. Still it may be worth checking out).

No, they aren't supposed to do something better. Research before commenting.

http://www.swgemu.com/archive/scrapbookv51/data/20070127174504/


Reward: A Lightsaber Crafting Toolkit with a “guaranteed critical assembly” (Amazing Success on assembly).

http://www.swgemu.com/archive/scrapbookv51/data/20070127181012/index.html


Appendix A – The Village Lightsaber crafting toolkit
The Village crafting toolkit states that it gives critical assemblys or a Critical succes which is common talk for giving you the ability to break the ressouce cap. Wrong! It only give an Amazing succes on assembly which does nothing to your sabers stats. I have after reading some posts on the subject come to believe that a Critical succes is Dev-talk for an Amazing succes, since looking into the .tre files an Amazing succes is coded as a Critical succes and Dev Thunderheart have stated that a Critical succes happens with the same frequency as a Critical fail. And as we know an Amazing succes happens at the same frequency as a Critical fail. So is should be conclusive that a Critical succes is Dev-talk for an Amazing succes and the reports about busting the resouces caps are some kind of bug or unknown factor still unaccount for.

I went by what the guide said as you quoted above. I did not see the other answer that you found below. Do you know if wookiee jedi can wear wookiee gloves with their jedi robes? I couldn't find a definitive answer in the jedi forums. The long gloves *might* overlap the robes. (they can wear hoods and a belt 4 sure).

I have done all the added quests to the game as well as the Nightsister and Singing Mtn. Clan themeparks. Some very well thought out entertaining linked quests for the themeparks with no problems there.

There were however some broken missions in the NPCs quests you added. They all had the same problem.

CX-425: (at the Yav Massai Temple). The last quest is incompleteable because there is no way to blow up the base. There appears to be a data terminal inside that should be clickable, but isn't. Perhaps you could enable it, or make it complete when you kill the mobs associated with it.

Lethin Bludder: (at the Talus Imp Outpost). You cant complete the 3rd Mission because you cant blow up the house (base). There appears to be a data terminal inside that should be clickable, but isn't. Perhaps you could enable it, or make it complete when you kill the mobs associated with it.

Venthan Chassu: Vereni Island, Cor). You cant blow up the house (base). There appears to be a data terminal inside that should be clickable, but isn't. Perhaps you could enable it, or make it complete when you kill the mobs associated with it.

Karrek Film (Vereni Island, hotel, Cor): Is a completeable quest that wasn't mentioned in the added quests (but maybe it was in a previous pub) for pub 9.


Many of the quests added focused on a story about the beserker virus. A hadfull you had to be reb, a handful you had to be imp. Few had item rewards. A survey suit with +2 survey from a survey quest. A stormtrooper armor with shoulderpad (unwearable). Some crappy stim B's and A's from the NS and SMC quests.

Tested the bugged destroy house quests.

Venthan Chassu (Vereni Island): Still broken.

Lethan Bludder (Talus Imp Outpost): Fixed.

CX-425 (Massasi Temple): Still broken.

You're welcome, although technically i'm just a minor grunt amongst the major Team.

(The only team that's truly "mine" is the 100's of Nova alts i've created/deleted over the years and my multiple personalities that somehow keep my QA brain sane...sorta :microwave: )

uhhh the fix (http://review.swgemu.com/#/c/5950/) not only isn't on Basilisk yet, but also hasn't even been server-restarted to TCNova yet.

UPDATE: Nova restarted but unfortunately during my re-tests, the same issue persisted (so it'll have to be fixed again) .

We know that its gonna happen, at some point... and that its probably going to be called Suncrusher. But that's about it.

So you guys aren't working towards any deadlines? I'm sure Suncrusher was announced years ago? Is it best to just join a private server then?

Also, in terms of your publishes, are they inline with Sony's, are you guys going for 14.1?

Vlada
10-08-2017, 04:40 PM
If you go by that announcement from years ago, Suncrusher has been up and running since December 2009.

Because of that and a few similarly silly announcements as that one, we adopted an "Absolutely no ETA ever" policy, so you will find no deadlines here.

Also our publishes have nothing to do with SOE publishes.

P.S. All Pre-CU play servers are using our code, so as long as our code is incomplete theirs is too.

Whilst private servers are using your code, there's no threat of wipes which Batalisk desperately needs.

I played Batalisk at launch for a while, it was fun until people started exploiting the many bugs that resided back then. Ultimately it broke the economy and PVP.

I know you guys have some hatred towards anybody who asks for an ETA or any kind of idea of launch but I'm sure lots of the community are eager to know. Is there a final publish? Are you inline with Sony's patches?

Surely apart from JTL, the game looks and feels almost complete!?

Our main goal is to emulate 14.1. It'll take as many publishes as we need to get there.

Suncrusher was always in the cards, just at the very bottom of the deck.

And no, you will not get an ETA or even a rough guesstimate.

Just cuz this big publish thread gets so much traffic & views, and the question has been sitting here un-answered for so long...

So the Mantis Report hasn't been green-resolved yet ---> https://www.swgemu.com/bugs/view.php?id=5789
Once it's green-resolved, in 'QA section' , that'll mean all of it is implemented on Nova for testing.

In which case, an update for that particular set of code will be posted publicly in one of these ---> https://www.swgemu.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=179

----


Or is for the next one?

Before I was fired, I was actually helping Loshult (who was initially designing the foundational code) with a massive research-spreadsheet of literally EVERY spawn 'area' ever reported/known during original Pre-cu SWG.

After getting fired, I turned over that spreadsheet to Scurby & the Team. If my services are ever still needed, or if i'm allowed, I may go back and finish the work I began for it. (I only got about halfway done, unfortunately)

Otherwise, I'm sure someone else from QA will be more than willing/able to complete the spreadsheet.

Either way, it's way too soon to speculate on whether or not that new spawn-system will be in Publish 10.

He's probably asking why Nee2earth got fired, but I've never heard of the term "Tin-Tack", but it could be a northern English "old saying"...i.e getting the boot, or something like that ;)

Agreed.

People are welcome to continue PM'ing me or contacting me in-game if they want to know what's already been made public.

Otherwise, there's enough 'dead horses' around here as it is.

And mine's pretty much decomposed by now.

Just came back to check out the new update. Started making some architect sub-components and noticed the maximum crate size had been changed. Is it intended that ore mining units can no longer be produced in a factory crate? Just tried on two different structures factories and it produces them as single units in the output hopper.

Thanks for the great work!

That is how it was on Live Publish 14.1. This was changed to better reflect 14.1 in SWGEmu Publish 9.

From the OP/Patch Notes;

Fixed the max crate size for many items when created in a factory

They are indeed "a thing" , a very big hairy thing in fact---> https://www.swgemu.com/bugs/view.php?id=5789

And as to the rest of the locations/spawns, i worked many hours on a massively extensive spreadsheet filled with evidence for every Planet, which i eventually turned over to the Devs after aggravating them too often with my impatience and subsequently getting fired.
