Tiaga,


Let me see if I can give it a try. As long as the radial menu option still shows up, I have been able to get this method to work.....that is, if this is on TC.

I have seena similar bug in the chat system.


When I edit a tab the channel list always starts with a blank entry. If I try to delete it the bottom entry is deleted, forcing me to delete em all and re-add em. But this doesn't brake the tab, it's just annoying.


I think that if we can identify all the systems that this involves it might be easier for us and the DEV's when it comes to try and fix it. I dunno what you think but I'm gonna try anyway.

I just tried this on my bugged droid. Also had a full list before. Tried calling from radial via ~ , tried calling using mouse on radial, option is there, but list never comes up. I did this exactly 30 times on each (~/mouse) to no avail.

I tried all of the suggestions too and I can't get my droid to start working again. I hope that there is a fix for this soon.



UPDATE: I tried traveling to another planet and then doing the process again, it worked after about 4 tries. I was then able to delete the blank entries and everything works great now.

I hope they fix some of the other droid bugs too, it shouldnt be too hard to make LE repair droids, Surgical droids, and Protocol droids nameable. Or at least raising the HAM to be realistic, If an R3 has 4500 HAM, why does a BLL only have 1500 or so? It should have 15k, even though it cant fight.

I understand the sentiment here (and I want them nameable too). However, we don't really know how hard it would or wouldn't be....

If it were as easy as changing a tag here and there, or setting some flag that's not set, don't you think they'd have simply done it by now?


From what TH has told us in the past, this (apparently) represents some weeks worth of work. /shrug

So, uh...

If someone transferred me a maintenance droid, and I was able to add 2 structures to it (meaning 8 blank entries) should I just give up and destroy it?

I musta tried the radial menu about 100-200 times.

It's possible drashk, that the list gets screwed up and can be fixed by your method if done immediately, but that if one waits a significant amount of time, it's too late to fix anything. Have you tried fixing a broken droid that has been broken for months?
