Posted October 15, 2011 Hello! I been experiencing some difficulties when trying to remove a few iron fence from my deed's edge. They stand on the south border, thus I need to hit the tile outside the deed to hit them on the north border of said tile. Removing fence along the west deed border did go problem free. This is what happens: Standing at the catapult i get following message when missing the fence: [15:53:49] You just missed some fences with the rock shards. [15:53:49] You hit nothing with the rock shards. on the actuall tile I have an alt standing I do not get -any- message. Then i try a few times more and then upon a non near hit ( assumed hit) i get following at the catapult: [16:02:46] You hit nothing with the rock shards. But at the alt i get: [16:02:46] A rock shards comes flying through the air, hits the iron fence, and shatters. No damage seem to befall the fence still at 0.0. I tried hit difference fences next to this one, same. I tried log in and out, same. I tried to hit the tile from both south and north side at different distances, same. I'm running out of ideas here, I been destroying fence before on both north and west borders like a week ago, was fine then. Any input would be great!

Posted October 16, 2011 Probably a Code error / typo :-\ I had just recently used a cata on wild - worked perfectly ( 2 or 3 days ago ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2011 After a nice talk in CA help with Kaih I got explained the likely cause of the problem. Seems like protection of deed walls kick in when you try catapult south and most likely east border fences, as you have to catapult on the tile just outside the deed. I now bashed the fence down instead, but hope a fix to this will come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2011 Seems like protection of deed walls kick in when you try catapult south and most likely east border fences, as you have to catapult on the tile just outside the deed. It has nothing to do with deeds, a lot stuff that targets a tile while really intending to target a border/corner works only on the N/W corner and borders while ignoring S/E. Same applies to height checking when paving, teraforming tree tiles, sculpting wants, tunneling below water level, wall bashing by creatures (possibly fixed), and god knows what else.

Posted October 16, 2011 The 'no damage' despite a clear hit is the issue, Bdew You are right with what you say in all regular cases, we covered those facts in the discussion. [14:23:55] <Beneldorla> Kaih, i did port a problem i have on forums, but no reply yet, should I try a /dev ingame? [14:24:14] <Beneldorla> errr.. post even [14:24:32] <Kaih> sec [14:25:04] <Kaih> catapult bug post? [14:25:09] <Beneldorla> jupp [14:25:19] <Beneldorla> same still today, just did try [14:25:48] <Kaih> guess it interferes with the bash protection on freedom deeds [14:26:10] <Kaih> did you try to shoot from an on deed tile too? [14:26:16] <Beneldorla> But I did catapult down other fence along the west border just before i tried these [14:26:25] <Beneldorla> yeah, tried two different [14:27:06] <Kaih> cant do much there i think [14:27:14] <Kaih> grab a maul... :/ [14:27:29] <Beneldorla> So just a bug? [14:27:53] <Kaih> deed tiles are protected. so i guess it just interferes [14:28:06] <Kaih> as you wrote its the south border [14:28:08] <Beneldorla> well i did take down other fence [14:28:12] <Beneldorla> yes [14:28:18] <Kaih> same could happen with the east border [14:28:57] <Beneldorla> hm, could alowing anyone to destroy buildings might help? also those not villagers? [14:28:57] <Kaih> while the fence is on deed and you have to target a non deed tile... [14:29:16] <Beneldorla> yeah, i thoguht that might be the issue [14:29:22] <Kaih> no. cant do much but bash it with a maul [14:30:07] <Beneldorla> hm, do not have any atm, would troll clumbs work? [14:30:07] <Kaih> with the mayor bonus it should be 2 hits with a good maul [14:30:52] <Kaih> any heavy damage weapon works, but in my experience a good large maul is best [14:31:41] <Beneldorla> i will transfere mayor bonus to myself and try with some of the better ql tools i have hm [14:31:55] <Beneldorla> fence just 9-12 ql so should not take that long i hope [14:32:11] <Beneldorla> Thanks for the info though. hope they can make a solution to that sometime. [14:32:19] <Kaih> things like these are the reason why i plan deeds one tile further than the last wall [14:33:47] <Beneldorla> yeah, maybe how catapulting works should be changed, i had no idea before now. [14:34:43] <Kaih> agree. it should target borders, not grid corners [14:36:34] <Beneldorla> would it work to expand my deed one tile too? should do it right? [14:36:48] <Beneldorla> faster then bashing.. i am so lazy [14:36:56] <Kaih> aye. if it is worth it for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
