Thread: maskscent/conceal bug??
FofiWibler wrote:This just started happening to me since I got wayfaring 1 and made my first conceal kit (a talusian one). I wander through dant with maskscent on. Next thing you know I am being aggro'd. Since I'm also climbing the carbine tree, I have no chance of defeating a fierce piket protector on my own. I burst out. Try and reset my maskscent. Message comes across the screen "You can not maskscent while you are concealed"Has anyone else had this problem?Is there anyway to disable concealment?
Need some clarification here... you say you made a "conceal kit", for Talus, and then you say you are using "maskscent" on Dantooine. Your maskscent is breaking and you are getting aggro'd. You then can't get maskscent to come back up.
Sorry, but this is confusing... "/conceal" needs a kit for each planet.. your Talus kit should have nothing to do with what happens on Dant. If your maskscent is breaking, there is a normal wait of something like 15sec before you can bring it back up.
I am going to guess at what you meant to say here, excuse me if I am wrong...
Perhaps you made your first Talusian Camo Kit and used it. Then you came to Dant, and now when your maskscent breaks you get a message about not being able to maskscent while being concealed even though you haven't used a camo kit on Dant.
Does that sound accurate?
I haven't seen this error, but I would curious if it goes away after the normal 15sec or so maskscent downtime. Perhaps you are bugged in a way that maskscent is working properly, in that it breaks when an animal makes a successful check against it, but instead of getting a "you can't maskscent for X seconds" message, you are getting a message about a conceal conflict.
If this is the case "/bug" and submit a report.
Hmmmm. I hotkeyed maskscent and camo with a macro. To mask I hit shift/Fwhatever, to unmask I hit it again. So perhaps the command to unmask is /maskscent hit again? Dunno if it works with camo, crap never works anyhow.

I recall the one or 2 times I actually used conceal that it messes up any future maskscents that you do. Therefore, you're basically SOL until the server resets the next morning as far as maskscent is concerned.
Wouldn't be suprised if that bug hasn't been fixed yet.
Aye its a bug, but as from what your saying I think if you re-camo up and then uncamo yourself your maskscent should work again...I am pretty sure this is how I worked around that problem when it hit me.
So after your conceal breaks and you try to reapply just maskscent you get the "You cannot maskscent while concealed?"
I believe I had this happen to me(if I am thinking you are getting the same thing I did). What you do is reapply your camo then use conceal command to unapply it. Once you use maskscent it should work for you again. Again I am not quite sure if this is what you are experiencing.

Try reset mask by typing /maskscent twice. Get the error, "can not use mask scent while you are concealed" I never used /conceal on Dant, my camo kit is in my backpack. It also happens repeatedly.This definetly sounds like a bug. I am trying to figure out if my usage of Muon is interfering (which I think it is).
Thanks for the clarification...
1. No.. I have never seen this, but I have never camo'd on Talus.
2. I use Muon all the time
3. DEFINITELY some sort of bug. If you can get it to a readily repeatable state... /bug it and let the dev's know.
