It looks like an undocumented Hotfix is on TC-Prime, that has fixed the loss of the extra droid radial menu options.


I've tested it with both new and old modules, with a combonation of many different modules, in 4 different chassis types.


All seem to working as intended.

wow excellent .. perhaps they didn't want to hightlight what a mess was caused with the changes they made to pets and started work on how the work around worked that was found.


/cheer


of course this happens after I recraft 10 new droids with storage modules so that they work on second call )


oh well .. can always make them optionals to ones without )

Or prehaps Tiggs wasn't around to write Patch notes.


For unknown reason, when Tiggs is out, patch notes aren't released with code updates on Test Center.

Well spotted Drashk, I was rather more focussed on everything that got borked in the hotfix than what was fixed.


There is no chance this is going live yet I'm afraid, as a brief summary of why:


All xp system messages are in combat tab not system messages.


All xp messages whenuninspired report you receive 0 experience.


All xp messages when inspired report you receive 10 experience (bonus xp).


When in combat you get a "base_player:[prose_flytext_xp]" float above the mob when it dies.


There is a slight variation on the messagewhen in groups but no one is grouping for xp as the xp split is back and is set worse not better than before (currently a 2-man group gets 53% of a solo xp, they did get 55% on first publish 21 test)


That last one will be the one that holds on TC for now, with any luck they can split out the DE fix, but don't go asking for the hotfix in full to be applied yet.

...has successfully tracked Tiggs
...is still tracking down more bugs
NB: Any comments I make on TC code can and often do change
before they reach live and may not reach live at all, please read my
comments with that in mind.

Sweet, does this hotfix work with pre-publish 21 droids that lost radial menu commands?
