Projects Reconstruction

[Chris Johnson]

At the time of writing this post ProgD are currently finishing updating the game database and rebuilding projects.

This is a list of some of the things we have done and the implications

1) All Projects created before the backup at 15:30 GMT yesterday have been restored .

2) All time worked on those projects since the backup has been credited to the project

3) All projects which completed since the backup have been deleted, people will keep the outputs from them as per normal

4) All projects created since the backup will no longer exist . Time worked on them unless they completed will be lost

5) All objects and resources added to any project since the backup will have been recreated and placed in relevant persons inventory .

6) Some people may now be carrying more than the 15kg as a result of this - just recreate the project and add the materials/object to it

7) Some people who added items/resources within an hour before the backup will have those returned to them as well - this is a bonus - we can't easily discriminate

8 ) If the project existed before the backup but no work started on it until after the backup then the time worked has been credited

This covers the major things we have done. If you have any problems please contact bugs@cantr.net with details and we will sort things out .

If you have any more general questions please post them here and we'll try to answer them

Woohoo! Thank you for giving us such a thorough and helpful breakdown of the situation, and for keeping us informed as you work the long hours!

Just to add point 5 - replacement of objects includes items put into repair projects after the backup which had not completed .

When I wrote point 5 it didn't include them ... it does now

Good. I was worried about that with a charrie.

Edit: Now another charrie won't have the key project she started before giving the only key to a vehicle to an employee.

I have noticed that repair projects which were finished after backup caused items which were repaired are still damaged. But, anyway, who cares, we can repair them once more. Good work ProgD!

4) All projects created since the backup will no longer exist. Time worked on them unless they completed will be lost.

Players with characters which participated in such projects will see unnameds project with 0% progress on their pages. Trying to retrieve info about such project will produce 2 errors.

In such case just abandon participation in project by clickin green 'X'

Edit: I fixed it.

I got one of them null projects about an hour ago. I just abandoned it and it dissapeared. Maybe the fix missed one or two.

Someone *always* has to be different, huh Shad?

Hey I'm not happy unless I'm different, who wants to be the same as everyone else
