Road improvement project

Postby Chroma Key » Sat Apr 25, 2015 6:30 pm

Could someone please contact me regarding this? My char is unable to improve one of the roads at the location he is in, as the proceed button results in an error message (You tried to commit illegal action) and there is no info about what the project would require.

I tried to email programming, but my email was automatically rejected.

You will be contacted.

(Also, make sure you send from the same email address as you have on your Cantr account. It should pass through if you do)

I used the game's contact form (contact cantrII departments/programming), and you may recall that this happened before, too, but thanks, Echo. I'll provide the details when I'm contacted.

I've investigated the problem.

The road improvement project exists on the other side of it, so it's not possible to start the second project there.
It looks misleading, because currently the improvement options are presented as a list (currently a single-element list, at most).
When the action is impossible (as in this case) then the option disappears, which results in an empty (invisible) list.
The forward button still works, but clicking it results in trying to commit no action, which is recognized as invalid option.

I think I have to add some special information in such case or maybe show the impossible options, but make it greyed out and not selectable.

Greek, from what I recall, it wasn't possible to start a road improvement project if there was one on the other end, as the option was then not available for that road (not greyed out, but not there at all). Is that not the case anymore, then? That's why this threw me off, as I was sure I wouldn't be able to attempt it if there was one on the other end.
