[Chewett]

its been wrong for ages, iv pointed it out to mur numerous times... But you know he is lol.

But i agree it would definitely be useful if the bugs with locate could be fixed.

*erases Fyrd's future memory and whispers* That was just a dream...

[Fyrd Argentus]

I reported it because yesterday it was right.

Maybe it's just random.

Wait, my memory seems to be fading out...

What was I saying?

[Fire Starter]

Maybe this is the right place to drop this:

How this should be read?

[Kyphis the Bard]

He was at all those other places, now he is at Statue hall door.
The spell is fairly self explanatory >.>

[Grido]

You missed the time-stamp and the order of those locations Kyphis.

Majority of those locations you can't travel in succession, and the time-stamp is exactly the same to the second for each location (apart from the last).

[Fire Starter]

And? What comes from that? I mean, should I read only the "logical" locations, even if they are passed through in a split second?

Edited September 16, 2011 by Fire Starter

[Maebius]

I think the issue above is that if you read the list of locations as-listed, the scene coordinates are not adjacent scenes. It reads as if they jumped all over the map. If you re-order it to show scenes that are actually possible to move between via the arrows, it's a different order, Thus, the Locate timestamp is not displaying a "record of movement" correctly either.

[Grido]

I've not seen a locate quite as "impressive" as that, but yeah, the bug still isn't fixed

couldn't it be the influence of the Lands of the East that makes the clocks go crazy?

Edited September 16, 2011 by VonUngernSternberg

[Chewett]

no, it does exatly the same for the maze. Some poor guy got taken out of HC for a bit because we thought he was cheating because he moved so fast though it, since we assumed the logs worked.

[Laphers]

Was that me removed from HC or were there others?

I would assume that it pulls the last (x) locations from the database, and it orders by time and some unknown field but not by timestamp causing all the :23 grouped together but the actual order be messed up.

[Grido]

can someone check the spell please?

[Seigheart]

Still off.

[Fire Starter]

Interesting, but I seem to find a pattern in this...

And the pattern is that the spell isn't working... in the East!!! Which, taking it from that point of view, makes some sense to me

Recently I used it and I was able to find the person at the right spot where the spell sent me. Yeah, I know..., I was disappointed too

[i](Conspiracy!!!)[/i]

[dst]

Or maybe Eon is that good at running/walking.

[Chewett]

Job? Oh no MD is not organised... Rendril and Mur code MD, thusly they come along and fix stuff. That is, when they arent busy doing a million other things they do for MD

But Rendril should NOT be directly contacted about coding stuff, if you didnt see the announcement.

[Fire Starter]

Nah, I like dst's idea. Assuming those were Eon's steps, if One can do it, then more people would eventually learn to do so. Which is quite attractive when you come to think of it...

[Guillak]

It appears the timestamps are lost, and the order of locations messed up, whenever you log out or go idle.

We tested it with Grido at the Paper Cabin. First cast:

Last cast to make sure going idle had the same effect as logging out: I moved a bit, came back at the Paper Cabin, then just went idle and resumed playing.

[Chewett]

so the error occurs if someone logs out and back in, before doing so the log works fine?

[Guillak]

I think so!

Edit: that may explain why the spell is less likely to work in the Tribunal, since people might tend to use all their AP's very quickly then go idle/logout, waiting for them to replenish.

If this is right you have earned at least a pickle, Guillak

[Chewett]

apparently fixed.

can someone test this on a person who has idled and logged out?

[Chewett]

this was fixed by me, please remake one if its not working.
