Missing tags causing trouble
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2007 1:20 pm
This is linked to another bug I reported earlier but since bug reports never seem to get as much as an acknowledgement from ProgD, maybe it gets more publicity here.
JackTR reported in the chat that when starting a project for wooden clogs, it doesn't say chisel in the build requirements. So he ended up adding wood on the project before realizing that a chisel is needed. This is on a region with no iron. He says he cannot log onto the forums for some reason so I'm reporting this on his behalf. He said there's 4 projects in TR forest that would need to be cancelled.
You could say that everyone knows clogs take a chisel, or that one should check the wiki but those are OOC reasonings. One should be able to trust the system. And the system is flawed due to required translation tags not being created automatically. There was no "item_chisel_o" since there is no object called chisel, there's only an iron chisel and a bronze chisel. I added the tag but god knows how many other tags are missing. The same thing goes for all buckles. The tags could be added manually but in my opinion the system itself should be fixed.
But since ProgD is apparently busy with more important things, people should take the precaution of checking tool and part requirements from the details of a created project (in case it's an unusual one and you can't be 100% sure you know what is needed) before adding any resources to it.
