Just wanted to ask, when crafting will be available again.
-
I can only say: Soon
-
What is the current problem with crafting?
-
Crafting data had to be reloaded because the database changed so much with the last release.
I thought it had been finished by now but apparently not :)
Quote from Acraig on Hydlaa.com:
Because the database tables for crafting have been totally refactored we must import all the crafting data back into the database.
-
TomT said that the sword and ore data was added last week, so he's not sure what the current problems are.
-
Hmm, that's strange.
Something must've gone wrong somewhere then.
I guess we'll see :surrender:

What is the current problem with crafting?
Yesterday i wanted to try if it works again, since there was this issue of "crafting data to be inserted". I tried to make steel, but all i managed to make was coal sludge. It just didnt turn into molten steel, even after 10 minutes.
Dont know about sword making and such, since i dont have any steel to test it.
Btw: Am i the only one who is experiencing problems there?
-
I was the crafting-tester in the past, when it was implemented.
I have checked to crafting just a minute ago and found following things:
Melting Ores does not work correct.
I placed some Ores in the furnace and the server told me, that I am working on the Ores.
After 5 minuts the ores are still not changed to Molten Ores.
I tried to make steel and the server told me, that i am working on the Ores.
After 5 minuts the ores are still not changed to Molten Steel and when i reload the screen,
i end up with Steel Sludge.
I placed the Steel Sludge in the furnace to make Molten Steel and the server told me, that i am working on the Ores.
After 5 minuts the ores are still not changed to Molten Steel.
When i try to heat Stocks, i get the message: "You probably should not leave ............ here"
Without a working Furnace and Forge, i can't test the rest.
Conclusion: Crafting items is fully down atm.
I have sent my report to Tomt, by addding it to my bugtracker report:

I also got those messages and when you try and combine iron and coal it doesn't recognise the coal but still procedes to combine when you hit combine.
-
Indeed, melting or stock casting doesn't function at all. So far I have heard many players with the same problem.
I thought you guys knew about it because of the whole "crafting rewritten" thing ... else I would have posted a bug days ago.
-
Conclusion: Crafting items is fully down atm
So is there still a chance that it will be fixed soon
?
-
I hope that when crafting is back, secret guild names won't appear on the crafted items description if the crafter is inside one.
Powerful exploit for bad roleplayers...
By the way. It was supposed to be fixed last weekend, what is the reason behind the postpone? Are you devs fixing that bug that makes crafting impossible(for safety reasons) for members of secret guilds too?
-
Tarel, please check again to see if problems are still present. I have closed the current bug report but feel free to open up another report ( and send me a PM or email ) about any other bugs you find.

*In Tarel-like voice...*
My coal sludge went molten and turned to stock... with quality 2/2 instead of 1/1. Iron ore went molten as well, did not try to solidify it. I don't have the proper literature to work the forge, so I can't say for that aspect of crafting.

edit- for lordraleigh:
From the log itself...
92 *** 2006-11-27 by Tom Towey
93 - Now we show craft guild name only for non-secret guilds.
-
i lost my notes on how to do this...basically i did the usual nine iron and one coal and came out with steel sludge....but when i put the sludge back into the furnace it jsut sits there and doesnt accomplish anything, therefore i cannot test whether the stock casting works or not :/

At this moment i am still working my nightshift for 4 hours, so can't check it at this moment.
But after i had a nice and good sleep, when i finished my work, then i will run a full craft-check again.
I will test the same features, as when i started checking crafting the first time.
Only now i have a full craft-guide to helps me inmediatly, so i don't have to explore things anymore.
I will send you a mail, when i find bugs and know about bugs, but you will know what you have asked for. :)
I hope that it will not fill you're mailbox complete, as in the past.
-
The furnace and stock casting seem to work fine. The forge is not working. I had Book of Blades in mind and the proper amount of stock...it said it wasnt sure what was to happen... Nice looking hammer btw ;) but it appears in Harquists 'mining tools' section
-
I also thought that furnace and stock casting worked. But today i noticed, that i didnt get any practice points for melting iron or casting stock. Also, when i wanted to melt the iron ingots in the furnace, the ingots turned into piles of dust after some time, without ever turning into molten iron before.
-
:whistling: so uhm does anyone know if the ones for sword making are working yet? i forget their names :flowers:
-
you can melt ores now, make stocks out of them, but you can't heat the stocks.
The forge is still broken.
So no one can get beyond the part of melting and making stocks and because of this you can't craft weapons or shields.
-
Ok. you must get this asked in game alot. but i cant find any up to date info on the matter so i thought it might be best to bring back this topic.
Is there someone working on the forge atm? Will it be working abain in the near futur? Is there something wrong that you can not find right away?
please enlighten me on this matter.
-
made iron ingots and iron stocks not long ago... 4-5 days or something.
-
what you are using is the furnace, that one isnt broke. atm you just cant use your steel to make weapons.
