Hercva & Sawyer - The Land Boat

Postby Xander » Sun Sep 26, 2004 12:09 pm

My character has this boat but cannot get off the land he is sailing on. He was using the directions of the ship's maiden voyage.

Sailing is difficult.

It's counterintuitive. I don't think it's a CR breach to point out that north is actually to the right... up is now west, down is east etc. when sailing. Maybe that'll help.

That use to be my ship. My character was Hercva.

This sounds like a New Lands problem and one that most likely only Jos can fix unless other programming staff know how but what happened was that the corner of the land wasn't defined correctly and thus you sailed through a hole in the barrier. I don't think Jos taught me how to define land borders so until Jos can come on and fix it then that will remain a problem. But programming can move the ship back out to sea if you send them an e-mail with the name of the boat. And then just sail into the opposite direction so you don't fall into that black hole again.

Now if I remember correctly the same thing happened to my character on that same boat with that same land mass back when my character was alive. I wonder if the problem was ever fixed.
