Game Development: Villages Extended Further

[Malicus]

In an attempt to test rather or not Hirdsmen could be summoned while offline, it appears I have crashed the game. My apologies to those who may have lost something. My conclusion to my testing is that you cannot summon people while they are offline.

If I have lost anything I care about, I shall indeed blame you! ...I probably didn't lose anything but time, though.

[Vanigo]

I have a bad feeling I just lost even more crap than I already did...
(Seriously, I lost four WI, six cast iron, my pickaxe, and my miner's helmet... although my soldier's helm got duped. I suspect the helmet will have magically disappeared again, though.)
(Although, since I was the hirdsman we were testing with, I suppose I can't really blame anyone but myself. Well, me and Hamel. Mostly Hamel.)

Edit: God dammit.

There was a bug in hird summonging, indeed (or rather, with a piece of code infrastructure that I created in relation to it, but yeah...). It should be fixed now. And no, you cannot summon hirdsmen who are off-line. :)

You need vandilism to even look in a container in a village area.

[loftar]

No, that should not be the case. Are you sure that you've turned on the Criminal Acts toggle? (It's always turned off by default when you log in)

[JTG]

yep, I'm pretty sure it was on but i'll trust you, and just say I made a mistake. I'm busy killing myself with leeches at the moment.

[JTG]

Yeah. You need vandilism to interact with any objects on a claim period. It just says THAT LAND IS OWNED BY (NAME). Whenever you try to open them or do anything.

I guess thats the end of thieving and griefing for now.

Yeah. You need vandilism to interact with any objects on a claim period. It just says THAT LAND IS OWNED BY (NAME). Whenever you try to open them or do anything.

I just tried it myself. I haven't bought Vandalism yet, and I had no trouble stealing stuff. I still suspect that you have forgotten to turn criminal acts on. It should say "Criminal acts are now turned on" when you do.

[JTG]

Turned it on and off, tried a lot. Its fine I'm going to take a break from crime I don't necessarily need to get into peoples stuff anymore.

I can't seem to interact with the village idol to become the Lawspeaker =/

-edit- oh wait... would that character need the lawspeaking skill?...
