Another "not the right time" libila shrine mission on indy

 

...but this time we've got WU code, so.

 

 

So this happens because there can only be 3 shrines per kingdom per server, and freedom happens to already have 3 shrines on indy (that is indeed the case, there are 3 shrine mission focus points).

 

So the question remains, why did it even generate a shrine mission, if there's no slots left?

The answer is simple, there's no slots left for freedom, but libila's favored kingdom isn't freedom. There are indeed empty shrine slots in libila's favored kingdom on indy (because HOTS haven't built any shrines on indy).

 

 

So, in EpicServerStatus.java

public void generateNewMissionForEpicEntity(final int epicEntityId /* snip */) { /* snip */

    byte favkingd = Deities.getFavoredKingdom(deityNum);

    if (favkingd != 0) {

        createdMission = this.createBuildTargetItemMission(i, favkingd, epicEntityId, epicEntityName, baseDifficulty, desired);

        break;

    }

here it creates the mission, but for the favored kingdom of the deity; it'll never be freedom because no god favors freedom, but it doesn't really matter, freedomers see the mission anyway (tbh dunno which part of code does _that_). So for libila, it creates a mission for hots, because hots has free shrine slots.

 

And then in AdvancedCreationEntry.java

public Item run(/*snip*/){

    /* blah blah blah */

     if (template.isEpicTargetItem) {

            final EpicTargetItems targs = EpicTargetItems.getEpicTargets(performer.getKingdomTemplateId());

            if (targs.getGlobalMapPlacementRequirement(this.objectCreated) != performer.getGlobalMapPlacement()) {

                performer.getCommunicator().sendNormalServerMessage(targs.getGlobalMapPlacementRequirementString(this.objectCreated));

                throw new NoSuchItemException(targs.getGlobalMapPlacementRequirementString(this.objectCreated));

            }

it checks the required placement for the kingdom of the builder. So it checks for freedom, but freedom has no free shrine slots.

 

 

Proposed solution: i dunno, i guess maybe on freedom servers always use the freedom kingdom rather than the deity favored one or something.

Or better yet, when creating the item, look up not the builder's kingdom, but the deity's kingdom somehow (doesn't seem there's a way to access the deity in there)

[Alectrys 2,040]

Reported here again http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/131409-fix-already-mission-bugs/.  This seems to be fixed on the Epic server while still problematic on Freedom. Adding the new fail to bug list.

[Vannin 134]

Are there still problems with the construction missions?  Not tried one for a very long time because on Xanadu they seem to always be for the South West.

[Fabricant 171]

Bumping this as I tried to make a foundation pillar for a mission and it did not accept it.

It was built within spec but apparently not good enough. In a cave, ceiling mined out until we couldn't reach it anymore, flat tile, in the north.

Completed, given a name, but not accepted for the mission. Even after being pushed around a few times.

[08:46:26] The Roundabout Post is complete! However, it failed to fulfil the requirements to become an Epic focus point.

[08:46:26] It is not the right time to build this now.

 

 

 

There's also a ghost mission that spawned by accident between hotfixes. A player god mission was completed and it created another but lost the deity name.

No idea if this has anything to do with the broken mission.

This one seems broken aswell, I quickly whipped up a pillar with nothing stopping me, but pushing the thing during construction (and only then, curiously) said "It is not the right time to build this now." Because a pillar isn't much work, I completed it anyway out of curiousity, but to no avail, just like you.

 

The same symptoms were shown by these missions (I did obviously not finish the structures for them, just started them without attaching anything further to see what happens when I push them around.)

So one more godless mission, but even the one with Mag assigned to it showed this. Unless I'm missing something obvious like needing to be a follower of that god (I'm not a Mag follower, for the record) something went awry in the last patch. In case that being a follower is a prerequisite, which is unlike any other mission, appearantly not very well documented, and which noone in CA cared to answer, those ghost missions are obviously going to be duds one way or another and are worth addressing on their own.
