Title: [0.9.9.3.] Advanced assemblies without whizkid?
Post by: Silhar on May 11, 2011, 16:33

It is actually possible to assemble a three-mod weapon and two-mod armor without having WK(1).
Is it a bug?

I'm going with the rules of the Internet on this one.

Pics or it didn't happen.  >.<

Considering there are three basic assembly armors, all of which fit the "two-mod" description, that part isn't a bug.

Making an advanced assembly without WK is certainly a bug.  Without any evidence of this happening, however, it's pretty much impossible to fix it, as there's no point from which to start.

Okay... Soon I'll throw in some screenshots for you to believe, Doubting Thomases.

weird... its almost as if you need some kind of detail or reproducability for a bug report to be useful ?_?

or at least more than a single sentence. If he explained HOW he did it we would be a bit more accepting of it.

Indeed; to fix a bug we must first know what causes the bug. If we can't reproduce the circumstances exactly, any fixes would be hit-or-miss.

Wild speculation: There's a missing check in the "decline to make assembly" code path.

Okay guys, my bad. Although it is possible to make a basic assembly with no WK at all, advanced ones don't work.
Dunno why I thought tactical shotgun to be an advanced assembly...

Sorry for confusion.

Don't worry about it.  At least it got sorted out.

Not a bug (thankfully), locking.

Also, way to be a doubter, Thomas.
