Dupe Glitch

[I_is_Tinsy]

So while building my ship, I found a glitch to duplicate blocks: You could delete all the blocks in your ship, drop them so you don't have any of those blocks in your inventory, then undo. All the blocks you deleted will come back, even though all the blocks you picked up from that are no longer in your inventory.

This goes to the Game Support thread. Also, that's one hell of a bug, lol.

 

[I_is_Tinsy]

Okay. Sorry lol, maybe a moderator will move it for me. I remember on the old site there was a bug category, and there isn't one now :P

 

[MrFURB]

Thanks for the report! I'll move this for you.

 

[Reilly Reese]

Aww man why report such an amazing glitch

 

[I_is_Tinsy]

Lol. Did you know about it before this? Sorry I guess :P

 

[BiGEdge]

omg really? So we dont need the incoming Factory patch?? pls fix dis XD

Hm, you should set up a private report in the bug-tracker with that.
As far as I know "undo" and "redo" go through the normal 'place' 'remove' chains and are only a 'per click recorded' log of them.

So as with copy and paste, you cannot dupe with them. (Unless there is a ultra high lag situation, but this will only lead to 'wrong values' on your local copy of the stacks, any rejoin or update will correct them.)

I put it on the bug-tracker.

 

[AndyP]

okay, received report.

Will make contact to you via tracker comments then. =)

Okey dokey

 

[I_is_Tinsy]

It says the status is rejected? What does that mean? Also what does the % done mean?

 

[AndyP]

The 'duplicate' got rejected, you had posted two identical reports. =)
No problem, but the second one got rejected then.
The first one is now on feedback asking for details about this, as it does not work on my computers, the server blocks the placement as expected.

[I_is_Tinsy]

Ah, didn't mean to post it twice lol. Do I need to explain it in greater detail?

 

[AndyP]

Unfortunately yes, I cannot reproduce that, undo does make the blocks visible for a split second, then the server revokes the placement as you don't have the blocks in your inventory.

Tried multiple times, single-player, multi-player, with admin, without admin, always stopped me from 'undoing' the remove, without the blocks in inventory.

[I_is_Tinsy]

Hm. It worked for me when I first found it, and I tested it about 5 or 6 times.

 

[AndyP]

Absolutely sure you don't have a second stack in your inventory where those blocks could be pulled from?

- Andy

 

[I_is_Tinsy]

Oh, that might be it. Sorry for all the confusion :P
I hope I didn't waste too much of your time.

 

[I_is_Tinsy]

No, that's not it... I tested it again on single player, it worked once, but I tried twice more and it didn't work. Hm... this is confuddling me. I made sure I didn't have any more of the item in my inventory. (I was using blue hardened hull wedges)
I'll test it some more, maybe it has to do with the kind of item.

 

[I_is_Tinsy]

Hm... It worked once more for me with black hardened hull, but that's it.
