Can you try restarting your browser?

Yeah, sure I'll try that in a second, I need to do something real quick for my brother.

shrucis1, can I confirm with you that your property is as it should be? If it is not, something weird has happened
bournebourne

2014/1/2

@shrucis1, I'm just speculating... but it seems while your code unlocked data and property location etc. seems to be correct, your property data does not (looking at the UserInfo data for the scenario)
bournebourne

2014/1/2

It is as if me updating the scenario occurred as someone was saving, which lead to something strange on the server. But again I can't make any more sense of it without you
do you mean that something weird happened and my house duplicated onto shrucis1's? or something like that
bournebourne

2014/1/2

Yes. Did you happen to be saving around the time I updated (if you can remember). I'm at a loss, since it shouldn't have the rights to save over his UserInfo under yours in the first place, nor any code that would be attempting that

Sorry I wasn't able to answer you recently bourne, but yes, my house data has been erased and replaced with that of inigmo-drago-10
shrucis1shrucis1

2014/1/2

Not sure how much of an impact this would have had, but let me explain the story: inigmo-drago-10 is my little brother, I was trying to help him with a code, and I ended up logging in on his computer. When I did this, I noticed that my house looked exactly like his. I am currently back on my own computer and my house stays this way, not that it's a problem, I didn't like my old house that much, and I had him collecting codes all day.

That's really interesting... Somehow the connection to the UserInfo server got confused between the two? I don't know... lol

By the way, I have items in my house I haven't unlocked yet. You might want to do checks for that periodically.
bournebourne

2014/1/2

Items in your house because of what happened? Or items you can place which you haven't unlocked? For the former, I don't know what checks you want me to do.
bournebourne

2014/1/2

I could confiscate those placed if that's what you mean

Sometimes the codes are hard to read
bournebourne

2014/1/2

I'm sorry, they are outputted to the Java Console whenever they are displayed the most common way
shrucis1shrucis1

2014/1/2

bourne, when I'm talking about doing a check, I mean like whenever you save or something, it makes sure that all items placed in the house are actually unlocked. If some aren't, you display a message to the user or take out the items that haven't been unlocked, or, more simply, just reset their house because that would mean the program had an error. Also, a simple 'clear all' button would be nice. If I sell my house then buy another land, my house stays.
bournebourne

2014/1/2

I can add a check like that. And yes, selling your property implies you can move your house and layout somewhere else. And I can add a clear property option as well. I'm working on updating my Battleship game at the moment, a new design to make in-match more efficient... Greatly lowering network traffic by not pulling full list of UserInfos data
shrucis1shrucis1

2014/1/2

As cool as that is, is it really necessary, I mean, you're not the one paying for UserInfo storage... Did the devs complain or something?
bournebourne

2014/1/2

No, but the more data that the scenario is pulling would cost time (so scales up as more users visit the scenario). It would not scale for in-match communication with new design.

@inigmo-drago-10, where did you get those rabbits... Did you find a way to cheat? Because what is required to acquire them seems you have not achieved...
"Uhh... I don't remember in particular, I just make a list lof codes i find as i find them, then i enter the list all at once
bournebourne

2014/1/3

Strange, did you get more than one code from Airborne Defense?
and what rabbits?
I really don't remember where i got the code from, but it might of come from there
bournebourne

2014/1/3

You had rabbits running around your property.
yeah i know but i changed it to a GIANT chess board i was just joking
sadly people are horrible bishops they keep on moving diagonally
bournebourne

2014/1/3

Well if you didn't cheat, I need to look for a bug. And lol, bishops do move diagonally =)
I meant ROOKS

I made a beautiful house! The rabbits are really cool, I like them a lot.

Codes temporarily disabled... Coder9000 got the best of me

Bourne, let's talk it over here: http://www.greenfoot.org/topics/5235
what do you mean codes are temporarily disabled are you going to reset everything and change the codes?
bournebourne

2014/1/3

Codes are currently no longer synced between here and my other scenarios. You will be wasting your time fetching them until further notice
bournebourne

2014/1/3

Your punishment is still undecided.
A new version of this scenario was uploaded on Fri Jan 03 06:45:40 UTC 2014 Update: Codes are now synced/redeemable again.
Good job on the encryption, I still managed to get hold of the private key though :) Haven't unlocked everything yet, but if you like we could talk offline about how I got it and work towards making it more secure if you are interested.
hey bourne, how do you place stuff on your roof?
bournebourne

2014/1/3

@Builderboy2005, I'm guessing I know how you did it but yes I would like to talk about it. We could do it using my instant messengers (on my IM or Battleship game).
bournebourne

2014/1/3

@inigmo-drago-10, if you add a room above a room you can make the top room have short walls which does not support rooms above or a roof, and have the floor similar to the roof type.
@bourne, how about we chat over gmail / gmail chat? Amarcoli@ucsc is where you can get ahold of me, if you have a gmail as well we can use gmail chat.
bournebourne

2014/1/3

@Builderboy2005, I have gmail and tried adding you (tab258). Not sure if the right chat thing though. I need to eat, will be back in a little bit.

The sell dialog is a bit off
bournebourne

2014/1/3

@JetLennit, Thanks, got it. Will try fixing it with next update.
hey bourne quick question, how come when i get bunnies you take away my stuff and my property but when builderboy2005 gets bunnies you don't do anything?
bournebourne

2014/1/3

@inigmo-drago-10, well for one - he was upfront with me. He didn't lie or trick me. Or post his findings for others to exploit it. He instead wanted to help make it better. So whether he ends up getting to keep his bunnies should not be your concern quite frankly.

inigmo-drago-10, if you really want bunnies, it's code #10 in Isometric. :P
