(Note on above problems from Anthony: It's also possible that if you're the initiator, and you cancel the project, the project sometimes (So I've noticed?) gets passed onto another participant. Just assist them, if it doesn't work, cancel and assist again, etc etc.)

Revision as of 09:54, 23 January 2006

I can't login/Cantr doesn't load or the forums. Oh no. No Cantr!

Soltuion: At about 15:20 (GMT) the server does a backup, and this lasts (about)half an hour - just sit tight.

I see [ship name] undocking everywhere

Description: The same ship will be seen undocking to any characters travelling, no matter where they are in relation to the boat or sea.

Solution: It's a Cantr ghost ship - be afraid!

Or just ignore it - some kinda glitch with docking/undocking procedures, when someone uses the back button and tries to dock again.


Dragging project is at over 100%

Description: On the character list page the % complete by the name of a character dragging person or pulling a note, envelope or item displays a value over 100%

Solution: Cancel project and start again

I can't pass things whilst travelling on foot

Solution: This isn't a bug. You'll have to wait until you reach your destination

On the other hand, if you are in a vehicle, you can pass objects to characters walking on the road - just see it as the vehicle being faster, and able to pull-up alongside walking characters

An animal just hit me for 654654654!!! (or some other such silly number)

Solution: None - you just got unlucky... It happens - something in the water I guess...


My building never appeared, and my vehicle is warping

Solution: Don't use HTML, or apostrophes, or hyphens, or anything else but alphanumeric characters (to be on the safe side) when naming buildings or vehicles - or their likely to get all manner of weird things happening to them... Contact the Programming Department with details of the missing building.
