New sloop without lock but with a key

Postby nEW tRY » Sat Jan 23, 2010 8:12 am

My character got a key for the newly built sloop, but the lock not appeared-visible on the sloop itself. Any help?

Key no. 8178205

(added key number)

If someone gave you the key, then you may not be on the right sloop, or the lock was broken off...

What I said? The sloop is just newly built sloop. My character had no keys before. In that location none had crowbars. OK?
P.S.
Because that was my first message it doesn’t mean I just started to play this game.

Sounds like someone gave you a key to something else and you're being kinda special.

Buildings, boats and vehicles are NOT build with locks automatically. Locks MUST be added AFTER THE FACT.

The key in your characters possession goes to something else.

Now you all try to convince me in the opposite. I would say that the boat usually has first built in lock. At least it was until recently.

Boats used to come with a lock, has that been changed then?

Oh no wait... boats do come with locks and keys. Wow, it's late... I needa sleep.

Yeah ships, and only ships, come with locks pre-built for some reason.

Damn it's late. :lol:

Perhaps you boarded the incorrect Sloop? Or it's a mess up and someone needs to check it out. Cantr code after being switched over to (uni was it?) has been a bit "all over the place" recently.

SORRY! XD

This was my first thought.

If it is an error. Then you need to wait for Programming to help you out.

It's probably due to the UTF-8 change. I think there was an earlier problem of a lock being created but not a key. I suggest you stay on the sloop until the lock has been created. I can create it if you PM me the name of the sloop (and the location in case there are several vehicles by the same name).

All vehicles, both land and sea, get vehicle locks when they're built, unless this is a very new change. It's only buildings that you need to build a lock for straight away, since no one can jump inside and drive them away.
