Known Bugs

Below is a list of known bugs. Please take a moment to read through these before reporting new bugs or asking for help.

Bug - Homing Pigeon Parcel Cloning.
Status: https://trello.com/c/xiBz5FrF

Cause:
Being able to split the stacks when the Homing Pigeon Skin is applied.

Temporary Workaround:
None. Or rather, don't do it :steamhappy:.

Bug - Can't equip certain items when Homing Pigeon Parcel skin is removed.
Status: https://trello.com/c/dsLpoFLZ

Cause:
Currently unknown.

Temporary Workaround:
Drop the item in question on the ground and pick it up again. The item will now be equippable.

Bug - Equipped costume icon not visible in flyer HUD for flyers who used the Homing Pigeon Bird Seed following server restart.
Status: https://trello.com/c/w1zjSmyn

Cause:
Unknown. Getting costume slots to work on flyers who wouldn't normally have them is a bit of a hack at best anyway. This bug only affects dedicated servers.

Temporary Workaround:
The item is in fact there, the UI is simply not updating to reflect that. Equip another item to the costume slot to unequip the current item. The UI will correctly update and you'll be able to use the originally equipped costume.

Basically this is a UI bug and has no impact on the actual functionality of the costume, including the Homing Pigeon Leg Ring.

Bug - Flyer sometimes "wanders" or is "jittery/rubber-banding" after reaching a destination
Status: https://trello.com/c/idSmWehr

Cause:
Currently unknown. Possible underlying game bug.

Temporary Workarounds:
- Cancel Flight from the "Recall to Flag UI"
- Whistle Stop when targeting the flyer (Shortcut key "Y")
- Upload and Download from Obelisk
- Server Restart

Bug - Quetz/Wyvern sometimes heads to 50/50 instead of returning to flag
Status: https://trello.com/c/8snD4q0j

Cause:
Currently unknown. Possible underlying game bug.

Temporary Workaround:
None. Advise equipping trackers to Quetz/Wyverns to be on the safe side.

-----------

Snow Owl keeps getting stuck in the ceiling of the map above my flag. First time he was recalled to the flag to deliver some items when I moved bases, then he got stuck when returning to the flag when I died trying to kill an alpha.

Hi.

We are playing on Ragnarok with Homing pigeons and we have a quite dangerous issue with the homing pigeon letters. Everytime you open one your character is stuck going left. The only way to stop him from walking left is to throw the letter. Is there a solution to stop this?

(ask if you need a video of it, but it's just the character and the letter, no mods included while reading it)

I also have a request. Is it possible to make a mailbox Public and send flyer to a public mailbox? we are running a RP server and we don't do alliances just for birds to fly. Maybe allow a flyer to go to a mailbox onse it has seens it? that would be too complicated to code, but just allow some sort of Public options mais boxes could be a plus.

Thanks for the mods =) it's alwaysnice to have nice creators~!

That's strange, I have never heard of this happening before.

Can you provide me with a set of repro instructions? Specifically can you state every single step including mouse / keyboard presses you use when equipping a Homing Pigeon letter?

I'll see if I can repro it myself following the steps you provide. If I am unable then I'll come back and ask for a video to demo the repo steps.

With regards to public mailboxes, this feature has already be requested and is scheduled for work. You can track the progress of this task on the public Homing Pigeon developer board: https://trello.com/c/c8yHS7C1

A handful of users reported an issue with the last update, though I have not been able to reproduce the issues myself on either single player or on my dedicated server. We believe we have tracked down the issue to being a problem with the mod installation + existing structures from the previous version. I would recommend the following steps:

1. Stop the server and your client.
2. Delete the mod folder '655261420' from both the server and your client.
3. Re-install the mod on both the server and client.
4. Restart the server and your client and wait for the mod to finishing installation before connecting.
5. Demolish old Homing Pigeon structures and replace them with new structures.
6. Craft new Homing Pigeon Leg Rings and equip them to your flyers.

This should resolve the weird issues you have reported.

I tried after your introduction, but unfortunately it didn't work in the single player (all mods gone and only their mod installed on it without success). When I installed the mod, I only downloaded this vision. I didn't have her mod before. On my server, I can no longer download or install the mod.

German:
Ich Habe nach ihre einleitung versucht, nur leider hat es nicht funtioniert im Einselspieler (Alle Mods weg und nur ihren Mod drauf installiert auch ohne erfolg). Als ich den Mod installiert habe, hatte ich nur diese Vision herruntergeladen. Zuvor hatte ich ihren Mod noch nicht. Auf mein Server, kann ich jetzt den Mod nicht mehr herrunterladen oder installieren.

If you delete the mod from your server then any items/structures the mod adds will of course be deleted as well.

Hi, So I seem to be having an issue with being able to actually mount Flyers on Extinction.
Normal taming does not allow mounting (riding)
DoTaming does not work
Forcetaming DOES work.
Emporium Saddles do not work (for flyers)
Base Saddles do not work (for flyers)

So the game is behaving as if the flyers don't have saddles equipped.

I've narrowed the problem down to either this mod or Saddle Emporium.
(however testing is limited as I'm not the server owner and only have Admin abilities)

Saddle Emporium is the newest addition to our server so it is the highest on the list for conflict relating to the flyers.

Hopefully it can be patched in the future!
(Emporium mod is getting the same bug report)

Unlikely to be an issue with Homing Pigeon as this mod has nothing to do with saddles and the ability to mount a flyer. No other user has reported an issue like this concerning Homing Pigeon so I would suggest looking into whether similar issues have been reported with Saddle Emporium mod.

Are you getting any reports of this mod not working on Crystal Isles?

I've used your mod for Ages, and it has worked well on all maps. Crystal Isles is the first time we've had our Dino's go straight to the ceiling, and then not make the turn to the destination.

1. Map: Crystal Isles

2. Mods: Awesome Spyglass(1404697612), Structures +(731604991), Homing Pigeon(655261420), Classic Flyers(895711211), Lethals Reusables(1967741708)

3. Feature Used: Return to flag via radial menu, and return to flag via death.

4. This behavior is observed no matter where the flyer is coming from or going to. As it begins its trip by flying straight up, once it reaches the ceiling it stays there.

5. Behavior not interrupted. We did try telling it to go to a different flag after the bird was missing for a 12+ hours.

6. I can screen cap the flyer hitting the upper mesh, but thats literally all it does. Flys up to the upper edge of the map, and just flaps there stationary.

I can confirm this, the flyer stuck on the upper map border ....

First report I have had. Generally the detection for determining the "world ceiling" works 99% of the time, it sounds like its possibly not working for Crystal Isles - possibly because the map author uses a slightly unconventional way of implementing the world ceiling.

I will take a look into this. No ETA on when I will have a fix out as of yet.

Flyer sometimes "wanders" or is "jittery/rubber-banding".

I experienced this jittering while i was mounted on a ember crystal wyvern equipped with the foot ring costume. Even after i landed it rubber-banded forward. It has set a default return destination, but no route was active. It also doesn't headed towards a specific destination (just forward).
Even after i unequipped the costume this behavior doesn't stop.

I'm not 100% sure if Homing Pigeon is causing this bug, but i never experienced it before the activation of your mod.

I play on a private server with the map crystal isles.
We have installed a bunch of mods:
Super Structures, Dino Trecker, Upgrade Station, Automated Ark, Personal Waypoints, Castles Keeps and Forts: Remastered, Awesome Spyglass, eco's RPDecor, eco'r Garden Decor and Crystal Isles Dino Collection

None of these Mods should have any impact on the movement of the dinos.

I hope you have an idea what causes this issue or what i can do to get more detailed information about the bug / where to look for the reason for this bug.

And btw. Thanks for fixing the CI Ceiling bug. I really love your mod as long everything wors as intended.

Actually, I also have that issue, and it first appeared like 4 years ago. And the only mods in common with you that persistent through those years are Upgrade Station and Homin Pigeon. Technically I also use Automated Ark and Dino Tracker, but I did not have tham the first time bug appeared.
