Not A Bug House Resize Bug

[Brosephine]

I just used the command "I wish to resize my house." When the house dropped, it should have remembered that Brosephine was the only character who was supposed to be able to place, but it didn't. I had to wait out the hour getting the message that everyone else would have seen: "Housing cannot be created in this area."



When using the command [where, I could see the message "TempNoHousingRegion."



When the hour was up, it of course went away and I was able to place.

BEWARE FOLKS! Do not attempt to resize your houses until this bug is fixed!
You might lose out on precious land!

Coincidentally, your house is directly on the edge of Despise Entrance, a no housing zone. When your house wouldn't place, it was because of this, not the temp no house zone, as you would have gotten this message: "Lord British has decreed a 'no build' period, thus you cannot build this house at this time."

 

[Brosephine]

Can you explain then, how I was not able to place for the hour wait period but then was able to after that time had passed? Seems to me like, since I have a house there right now, something was not right with that house resize command.

@Dexter

She is right. I watched it. She dropped the house and it would not let her place ANYWHERE even close to where she had it before UNTIL after the 1 hour timer expired.

I went there and typed in [where and got the cords plus a TempNoHousingRegion.

Look at her 2nd picture. Players here can use the [where command. The TempNoHousingRegion activated when she used the command "I wish to resize my house" correctly however it forgot her account. When you use this command it is supposed to remember your account for 1 hour. You can only you can place there during that time.

In this case it blocked everyone out, including her. Once the 1 hour passed she was able to place again.

Had this been a Luna house I would imagine it would be a bigger headache for us.

If any tile of the house is on the Despise Entrance Region it won't place. I checked the code, and even tried it on a non-staff character and it placed fine. The message you were getting was not] the message you get when a temp housing region was blocking you. The message you were getting is from a standard no housing region, which validates my claim. And for the temp no housing region, only players from the account that did the resizing can place, which was also verified as working when I tried it.

Here:

                if (from.AccessLevel >= AccessLevel.GameMaster || reg.AllowHousing(from, p))
                    m_Placed = m_Entry.OnPlacement(m_Tool, from, p);
                else if (reg.IsPartOf<TempNoHousingRegion>())
                    from.SendLocalizedMessage(501270); // Lord British has decreed a 'no build' period, thus you cannot build this house at this time.
                else if (reg.IsPartOf<TreasureRegion>() || reg.IsPartOf<HouseRegion>())
                    from.SendLocalizedMessage(1043287); // The house could not be created here.  Either something is blocking the house, or the house would not be on valid terrain.
                else if (reg.IsPartOf<HouseRaffleRegion>())
                    from.SendLocalizedMessage(1150493); // You must have a deed for this plot of land in order to build here.
                else
                    from.SendLocalizedMessage(501265); // Housing can not be created in this area.

So, based on the code above, and lets say the temp region was blocking your, you would have gotten the message:

Lord British has decreed a 'no build' period, thus you cannot build this house at this time.[/code]

So, the only valid conclusion is you were trying to place your house too far to the west, and after a while(an hour apparenlty), you got the house in the right spot.

So then why after 1 hour was she able to place?

We walked around the whole area saying [where and it clearly stated TempHousingRegion and since players can use [where they can see where the despise entrance starts. They were no where near eachother. A 7x7 wouldn't even fit, no wear near the entrance.

Look up at her picture. It is labeled as a TempNoHousingRegion it just forgot her as the owner of said region...

 

[Dexter]

It didn’t forget her as the owner. Nothing makes that property null. I’ve already explained what the issue is, and I have provided an explanation regarding the message she was receiving, and the code to back it up, as well as the fact there is a no housing reguon directly adjacent to the house. I have also tested this on a non staff player away from any no housing regions and it worked Fine.
