Broken Blueprints

[Blackomen]

Had this one occur on me after a long 5 hour build, the blueprint for my ship won't spawn the ship, it does however subtract the cost, and makes a engine sound spawn permanently nearby, no ship ever materializes. Seems a recent patch has broken many newly saved ships permanently. Doesn't happen on all of them, so not sure whats caused it.

*removed*

After finishing it, I deleted my in-progress backups. And then a friend went full-retard and blew it up. Now I've lost this design and 5 hours of work. So if anyone can figure out how to fix this blueprint, by all means try, I've had no luck. Anyway, I won't be playing this game further till this system gets repaired, at least this wasn't one of my two week long builds. I'd have asked for a refund if it was. :P

EDIT: A temporary solution was found, thanks Charlie.

You are complaning about bugs during an Alpha?? (Refund)



Try looking at one of the many threads that talk about things to try to fix this issue.

 

[Blackomen]

I am reporting a bug in a alpha, in a bug reporting forum section... so... yeah I am. You may want to read that post labled a sticky. Should teach you what this section of the forum is for.

Before you try and make such a stupid reply, you may want to think first.

Also the refund part of the post was made in jest (means jokingly, since you likely have to go and look that word up.) the lack of a emoticon I admit is an issue and will be fixed, and is the only reason I\'m not outright calling you a moron, because I can see how someone might think that was a serious remark.

If you actually want to report a bug and not just throw some air around, you have better chances with the bug report tool in the starter.

 

[Charlie_]

There ARE threads on the forums, not only that, there are FIXES.

I know I posted at least 2. So yeah.

 

[Blackomen]

I didn\'t find ANY fixes whatsoever for this issue, care to link me some? (Seeing as you claim to have posted some yourself.) rather than simply type they exist? I did report this via the bug report tool first about a week or so ago, when I saw the patch today with nothing even making mention of it, I decided to try this approach.

 

[DracoNB]

Wow way to be a total jackass.



Your post was mostly a rant, with no troubleshooting or way to reproduce the bug to help determine the cause.



And never posted before?

Those are from taking 10 seconds to search... which you are saying I can\'t do... Like I said in my original post, there are already work arounds to fix the issue in those posts.

It sounds very similar to the gibberish blueprints.

First things first, go check your blueprint\'s sm2 files.
If they\'re named anything other than your ship. Well there\'s your problem.

Fixing the problem is usually no more complicated than renaming those blueprint files. Sometimes a re-import might be necessary.

So far, the bug happens most oftenly when saving the blueprint to lacal. In my case, starting to use \"Create new Entry\'\" instead avoided any re-appearance of the problem so far.

Here are some threads, since this was all off memory.

Also, here\'s the rest of the search results:

Try looking through those, hopefully you\'ll be able to fix your issue. Otherwise, well I can always take a look at it again.

Me and a guy spent a morning testing out a lot of things with a corrupted sample and working sample ship, and determined that everytime, saving the ship with \"Save in Local\" would end up corrupting the blueprint. It\'d turn some filenames to gibberish.

It seems it can sometimes work on the server it was first saved on and load correctly however, but any import/export into different server, or same server if the universe was reset, would often if not always lead to the problem happening when buying the ship.

Saving the blueprints with \"Create new Entry\" (If that\'s it.) usually avoids the issue until further notice.
The corruption itself isn\'t hard to correct and preventing it afterwards is easy to do once you know how.



We couldn\'t test everything on many different servers, but I\'m pretty sure we had conclusive reference points.

The more we know!

Roger I know, I meant his post didn\'t offer much, and he said it was a \"new\" post and no one had posted about it before, yet there are a handful of posts (with fixes).

 

[Blackomen]

Edit: Thanks Charlie, I found a solution that works finnaly!

DracoNB: I\'m at a loss for words, your immaturity has greatly reduced my faith in humanity. All I can do is hope that you are young enough to outgrow it.

 

[Zyrr]

Title. It no longer happens to me. Best thing that you can do is report the bug via the tool and hope. Sorry you lost your ship. By the way, are you still working on the Nightmare faction of ships?



DracoNB: I\'m not sure if you don\'t understand sarcasm in a joking manner or you just decided to come off as a bit of an asshole. No offense.

 

[Blackomen]

I did finnaly find a way to recover the ship thanks to Charlie linking a lot of potential fixes, one of them finnaly worked.

And yes I am still working on the nightmare faction, very slowly, been getting motivated lately to get back into this. Also working on a new faction alongside it to act as pirate faction ship for our new server.

 

[DracoNB]

I posted those same links before Charlie did, and in my first post I suggested you look at them. You then attacked me.

 

[DracoNB]

He edited his original post after I posted. His original post was just a rant

 

[Blackomen]

The only edit was removing the link to the file and adding a \" :P \" at the end since you couldn\'t detect sarcasm. The only one ranting here is you. Grow up.

 

[DracoNB]

You added the link in an edit as well. You spent more time talking about how the issue was game breaking and you wouldn\'t play until it was fixed than talking about the issue itself.

I also told you there were fixes and to search for them, you then attacked me personally. I then posted those other threads (multiple of which talk about fixes) almost 10 minutes before charlie did:

http://star-made.org/content/broken-blueprints#comment-37350

But continue to attack me, it shows how mature you are.

I came here to see if the problem has been solved or if I could help. instead I see two people that are so immiture that they argue over such a trivial thing as who posted first. draco you acted immiture with your first post. so what if it is a rant, he was mad. ignore the rant part and help and as for you blackomen... 1: dont feed the trolls and 2: ignore the childish people because now you have become as bad as draco. black be happy the problem is solved and draco just leave him be and go do somthing else rather than starting forum flame wars.

 

[DracoNB]

I don\'t understand why I\'m getting so much hate here. I was trying to help. I told him to search the forums for the other threads on this issue for the fix. I was on my phone so couldn\'t post the links myself.

I get called a moron and stupid (re: jest) in response and told I don\'t know what this section of the forum is for, and that I should learn how to search (which he then edited out of his post, notice that Charlie also refers to it in his post)

Even after that I gave him links to the posts, and all he does is bash me.

I\'m not a troll and was not the one who started the \"flame war\". I pointed out that I posted the links to him incase he missed it, as I was only trying to help.

But whatever.

 

[Zyrr]

Glad you got a fix for it.

On a side note, I hadn\'t realized that the Nightmare faction wasn\'t pirate faction, more or less. Nevertheless, very interested to see what you manage to come up with for another faction, if you so choose to post pictures. I\'m also guessing this new server is private? Good luck with the ships.
