Foundry Editor Down Again?
 

Is the "Create Content" button greyed out again for anyone else?

It happened to me right after I published one of my mission and walked away from my computer. The game had logged me out due to idle time, and my mission was published successfully so I don't think my walking away from the computer messed it up. But then again this is STO...

Just wondering if this is a local or universal issue.

This is on the devtracker:

A thnx soulwarrior78
was about to ask and seek information
just about to learn foundry and start.

Ah, thanks!

Just tried logging on and..........offline. Man, the Foundry problems is really setting my progress back on my Foundry mission that I been working on for a year. :(

Hopefully it will be up tomarrow, but I suspect its fixing a certain "something that can't be named".

I wonder if they well fix the Duplicate button? I mean having to change skins on every unit you want to put on a map is such a pain in the rear lol

skyline475 - did your mission show up in the community authored tab missions?

I ask because I published my first ever foundry mission, receieved 2 in-game messages said they were published okay, but they don't show up in-game.

Maybe my first map is so bad it broke the foundry :eek:


For one map in my project the duplicate button suddenly worked for me on ground units, shouldn't have trusted it to work though - it went and renamed all the actors as "Actor <number>" instead of auto-giving them a name (such as Engineer etc).

In trying to fix it I ended up (and forgot to fix before publishing) with every actor now displaying in one section as "Unnamed Actor" (grrrrrr).

:)

You are probably not seeing your mission because it needs 5 reviews from designated reviewers before it is visible to the general population. But it's cool, cause anyone can become a reviewer, all you need to do is hit the "Become a Reviewer" button on the screen where you view and select community authored missions.

Also make sure you are on a character that is high enough level for the mission. Mission level is determined by what species of enemy you used. Klingons are any level while Romulans are 16+, all the way up to borg at 41+.

Yes anytime you copy npcs groups now the names don't seem to carry over (which is fine by me, since I couldn't copy them at all before).

To go back to the game naming them for you, all you have to do is select the whole name and hit delete, the click somewhere else. It should revert to <unamed actor> which is what tells the game to fill in the blank.

and further - 8472 at 46+ iirc

Yeah that's okay my main character's vice-admiral and the map is designed for 31+ :)

Thanks for that, now I see my mission. I hadn't ever clicked that button because I thought it was some form of special beta-testing thing where you were forced into reviewing a ton of missions for special cryptic rewards or something :D

Where as I went and copied and pasted <unnamed actor> into each name field :rolleyes:

I couldn't for 14 of my 15 or so maps in the mission, it just suddenly worked for this one map (which was odd).

Edit: Tested my map, publishing it has destroyed one of the map transitions so its completely unplayable from midway through *sigh*. Ah well, something for when the foundry's back up I guess.

Chief :)
