I am having this problem as well... but a little back-story to go with this: My friend and I have been playing Urban Dead since it first opened in 2005, both have paid accounts, and really enjoy RPing with our characters. We are of the [Dual_Nature_Policy|Dual Nature] mindset -- we don't abuse our powers beyond what we could achieve if we were, say, on AIM together while we were playing across the country from one another. It's really frustrating to be penalized for sharing a home with someone who enjoys the same game where it would be perfectly fine if we weren't on the same IP. I don't mind the lowered search rates, or lowered hit rates, but the inability to have my character heal my friend's character after a jaunt around the 'burb is an unfair restriction in this particular circumstance. I want to know who to talk to in order to get special compensation -- I'd be happy to donate more to the game and we both have the years of active history to prove that we're not an up-start zerging pair.

I was logged in to my main alt (Alt 1 for this report) and using the Speak function to thank a fellow for FAKing me. When I pressed the "Speak" button, it logged me out of Alt 1 and back into Alt 2 (who I had been using about an hour earlier), spending Alt 2's AP and generating the text over there. Repeated this twice with the same results. I would have nabbed a screenshot, but I am at work and cannot do so on this particular computer. Any ideas as to what caused this horribly strange occurance that will likely make the people in Alt 2's building think he's crazy?

Misunderstandings and Features

These are reported "bugs" that have been noted as misunderstandings about how the server and game handle things, and not actual bugs. While it might be preferable to have the script output changed in favor of clarity, there is no harm done to the integrity of the game bar perhaps some confusion.

FAK a survivor without Body Building to 51HP.

Description: This was a very convenient bug, but it's still a bug, and therefore, I'm reporting it, even though it's a minor one. I was able to see the HP values of survivors while inside Rolls Cinema. As you know, cinemas are listed as Dark buildings, and if the building is dark, HP values should not be visible. Screenshot

Discussion
Zombies with Scent Blood are capable of determining HP values because their ability to "see" HP is based on smell, rather than sight. It was designed to be this way. Not a bug, I'm afraid. Aichon 04:50, 10 October 2010 (BST)

I wish to prove this one a bug here by adding this: A.schwan had a survivor alt inside and was able to see the HP values as well (as he has pointed out on Skynet's irc channel). I'll see if he got a screen. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 04:53, 10 October 2010 (BST)

Description: Someone revived my character Zombie Ayn Rand (http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=825533), which is a bad idea. No one wants to hear Ayn Rand. However, the problem is that after jumping to death from 42,40 the Gumm Building (not NT) in Barrville, character only had 25% listed chance of attacking with hands, instead of 50% skill bought in XP a few days ago. The next turn, the attack did go back to 50%. This happen often?

Description: Ghills (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=964069) has all of the zombie skills, including all of the attack ones. This morning when I logged on, everything was fine. However, once I entered the Hind Bank in Ruddlebank, my attack percentages dropped significantly. My 50% hand attack went down to 25%, etc. I'm pretty sure this is a bug: my alts aren't near, and it's only inside this building. Once I go a block away, I can whack away at normal percentages.

Create your own - Island

Acoustic Pie
Current Status: not a bug
Severity: Not very but can be very annoying if a highly organised zombie group finds out.
Description: Ok, simple, there is a ruined building (with doors) but a survivor has gone inside and barricaded it to EHB while keeping it ruined, thus making it an island to any survivor. This makes it almost impossible to keep a suburb safe easily because you need to spend extra AP on debarricading then repairing. So i was thinking that you couldn't barricade if a building was ruined. Other than that if a zombie group found how to use this to their advantage it would be hard for survivors to keep a suburb maintained.

Discussion
Not a bug - Actually barricading a ransacked (form of which is ruined) building was impossible from the very beginning. There are other ways to create pinatas, though and it's a fair and reasonable tactics --~~~~ [talk] 19:44, 24 September 2007 (BST)



Extremely heavy barricaded ruined buildings?!?

User:Fred Clever
Current Status: not a bug
Severity: unassigned
Description: Standing outside Club Shelley in Nixbank. As seen from the nearby Deakin Alley PD it is ransacked and ruined, therefore a perfect exit and entrance point for me. I left through this building, and was left outside due to the ruined state of the building. BUT: The building tells the following: You are standing outside Club Shelley, an imposing concrete building surrounded by railings. The building has been extremely heavily barricaded - you can see no way to enter. Through the broken windows, you can see that the interior of the building has been ruined. Lights are on inside. The same for Edghill Hotel. Smells like a building bug, since I cannot enter the building. Sadly this means I am stuck outside as well, looking for a bug free building as VS or less to get inside... Sadly I lack screenshot programs, therefore I cannot provide this.

Discussion
Not a bug, or at least I don't think it's considered as such, the zombie was barricaded in before ransacking the building. Building status(barricades or not) doesn't matter when ruin/ransacking, just if there are survivors or not.--Karekmaps?! 22:00, 16 October 2007 (BST)

Hmm, I logged back, and now found 3 buildings in this state. So this is either a cunning zombie tactic to block buildings and can only have been established by a mixed zombie-survivor team, or a bug. Since I cannot enter since free running does not work (getting dropped outside), and the buildings being highly barricaded, this is right now open for speculation. Sounds buggy still, since it makes no sense that a building can be ruined and ruined at the same time. Else you could re-barricade ruined buildings as well, when barricades help to block intruders still. I thought ruined means totally wrecked and thus free to enter. Here is the screenshot I made a bit later using the browser history and installing a screen shot program: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Image:Screenshot_added_afterwards.jpg ---((User:Fred Clever)) 23:52, 16 Ocotber 2007 (CET)

there are quite a few ways it can be done, especially in multiblock buildings like Malls or Cathedrals. You can read more on it here. You can still enter the building if you drop the barricades to anything under Heavily Barricaded.--Karekmaps?! 00:19, 17 October 2007 (BST)
And also just a bit below is person talking about same stuff. Not a bug and it's been done for a long time already --~~~~ [talk] 07:58, 17 October 2007 (BST)
Ah, ok, it still just looks wrong from the logical point of view (a ruined building should make the barricades fall apart IMHO). But when it is a feature, it for sure is a smart tactics to increase the griefing and trouble ;-) --- User:Fred Clever 14:54 17 October 2007 (CET)

I would like to add a bit to this. In Wykewood the Skilliter Motel [14,75] is at EH barricades and the building is ruined. What concerns me is that when I attacked the cades on the outside with my fireaxe or crowbar I got 3 notices of the cades dropping, yet it never changed from Extremely Heavy. On top of that it claims the lights on the cell mast outside are lit which leads me to believe the building has power. --Twright 19:09, 17 October 2007 (BST)

If you're a zombie it's not a bug, just an annoying game feature. Before buying Lurching Gait moving from block to block for a zombie costs 2 AP, not 1.--Karekmaps?! 19:33, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

He had to go into a square with zombies in it to get the option to heal himself. When he moved off to a square where he was alone again, the option disappeared. Since I generally let others heal me wherever practical, I have no idea how old this bug is.

I'll try it, but this was not mentioned on the FAK item description on the wiki, and usually using an item the wrong way just wastes AP. --Richardhg 00:00, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Zombies can't die from jumping, otherwise every zombie would do this to avoid being headshot. If you're at low HP, try asking another zombie to hit you. Not a bug. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾ 02:05, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

True, but the when you click "jump" the text says "Are you sure? This will kill you." even if you're a zombie. As such, I'd say the text could be considered a bug, as it misleads (zombified) players to think that jumping will actually kill them. I mean, I prefer it how it is, as I like the thrill of jumping to my doom only to come out unscathed, but I see how it would confuse people. --Ms.Panes 03:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

this bug is really awful since you can create stuff while you are a sleep then come back and have 0 ap and still the items.

Negative action points is a game mechanic, and has been considered multiple times to be not a bug. Anything that takes more then 1 AP can put you in negatives, any action that takes more AP then you have at the time of use.--Karekmaps?! 06:57, 16 October 2007 (BST)

Here is the text of the ruined, yet barricaded building.

You are standing outside Jenkins Lane Railway Station, a fire-damaged yellow-stone building with boarded-up windows. Behind railings, you can see railway tracks disappearing into the surrounding city. The building has been heavily barricaded - you can see no way to enter. Through the broken windows, you can see that the interior of the building has been ruined.
Somebody has spraypainted http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Border_Patrol onto a wall.
There is a dead body here.

I could not get inside directly because of the barricade or by free running because of the ruin.

The problem here is that you're logged into www.urbandead.com and attempting to add a profile from urbandead.com, or vice versa. This is not a bug, but rather an effect of the way cookies are implemented for UD. Just add or remove the www. from the URL to add the profile to the correct account.
You can use these two domains to keep two different characters logged in at once. If you also access the site by IP, you can have a third. Handy for keeping an eye on one character while playing into another. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾ 03:13, 31 August 2008 (BST)



Building Repair Causes Extreme Negative AP

Description: While on a run repairing ruined buildings I came across one neglected for so long that I went from +16 AP to -34. While I like the idea behind longer neglected buildings taking more AP to repair, the scripting should be improved. (i.e. instead of one "instant" repair that costs variable AP, have the repair feature function the same as Cading, 1 AP per level of repair completed)

Discussion
Going into negative AP is a feature, not a bug. Any change along these lines would need to be proposed as a suggestion, although you should be aware that it has been previously suggested and did not pass review. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾ 06:02, 29 August 2008 (BST)

If you're alone, you don't get a speech box, whether alive or undead.--Kolechovski 02:43, 2 April 2008 (BST)

Browser Issues

These are problems that occur clientside - Kevan can't influence these, or cannot influence them without an effort that is not justified compared to the smaller problem. They might have to do with the browser you are using, specifically, or with plug-ins of that browser.

These are kept here so they are not continually reported ad nauseaum. Accordingly, please do NOT remove any entries without stating a reason on the discussion page - otherwise they might just get restored again for the purpose mentioned above. Removal is justified essentially when the lack of future reporting can be somewhat guaranteed - for example if you know for sure that a bug with a plug-in/browser in question has been fixed.

Speak over multiple characters

Current Status: Confirmed(?), but not reproducible
Severity: marginal
Description: Never had this happen before (or heard of it happening), so I'm assuming it's just a glitch with cookies or maybe with UD. I was logged in to my main alt (Alt 1 for this report) and using the Speak function to thank a fellow for FAKing me. When I pressed the "Speak" button, it logged me out of Alt 1 and back into Alt 2 (who I had been using about an hour earlier), spending Alt 2's AP and generating the text over there. Repeated this twice with the same results. I would have nabbed a screenshot, but I am at work and cannot do so on this particular computer. Any ideas as to what caused this horribly strange occurance that will likely make the people in Alt 2's building think he's crazy?

Discussion
It's a problem with your cookies. It usually happends when I log out of my Main and log into my alt and click the "back to the city" link in the settings page it shows me a page of my main account's map. After I delete my cookies its back to normal...until I switch accounts again. --Chris Ortego 07:41, 14 September 2010 (BST)

Yeah, there's some funniness related to sessions with UD. While I haven't had this specific problem, I've had ones like contacts being added to the wrong alt's list happen pretty frequently. Aichon 08:35, 14 September 2010 (BST)
I've ran into this problem too. It usually happens when I tab browse or I visit 2 accounts in the same tab(one after the other.) I usually just close all the UD tabs and then open the specific accounts tab that I want to work on. It happens with skills. I clicked 'buy skills' and it took me to one of my alt's skill trees.--Moodie  Talk  Contributions 23:33, 7 June 2011 (BST)

  • This could have something to do with all those extensions... --Brizth mod T W! 15:15, 20 June 2006 (BST)
Yeah, I have a feeling at least one of those extensions is affecting it. --V2Blast TP! 02:15, 21 June 2006 (BST)
Nope, I have this problem too even with my extensions off. It's showing profiled zombies as survivors and zombies for some strange reason.--karek 16:44, 25 April 2007 (BST)

Have you tried in a different browser? Maybe it's just Firefox being quirky, as it occasionally is. --V2Blast TP!CSR 20:56, 8 May 2007 (BST)
