Pretty sure this is '''not a bug''': crates work the same way, and they're a lot more useful than pumpkins. The disadvantage to having your inventory loaded up with items is that you can't seek out other, more specifically useful items until you disencumber yourself. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 03:57, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah if you search tangling grasp on this page you'll see other reports of this. It is seriously fucking annoying. Maybe if we spam this page enough Kevan'll fix it...--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 01:48, 27 September 2008 (BST)


This pisses me off SO MUCH! I can't hit anything and as a zombie who invested the time to get all the combat skills this annoys me greatly. It doesn't even show the flavor line for tangling grasp! ARGH!--[[User:Doctorgun|Doctorgun]] 07:45, 20 October 2008 (BST
For example, I broadcast material on 27.55 in a building then changed the transmitter to 26.43. When Ororo Monroe logged in a minute later, she did not see my broadcast, but instead saw a nine-hour-old message on 26.43, when the transmitter was not set to that: [http://iamscott.net/1485461305661.html dumwit]. (She's not carrying a 26.43 radio.) She then broadcast on 26.43, retuned it back to 27.55, and when I logged in, I did not see the broadcast: [http://iamscott.net/1485461626649.html dumwit].
:A half assed fix is to attack a different person each time, it worked for me. Eg you go attack John: miss, hit, attack Mary: hit, attack Dave: miss, miss, miss, hit, attack next person, etc. it means you still don't get tangling grasp benefits but you do get 50% hit rate which i wasn't getting before.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 07:51, 20 October 2008 (BST)


nobody can fix that for few months? that bad. guys, dont think about new gadgets into game, just fuckin fix that shit.
Not a critical bug, but it means it's possible to e.g. go into a building, change the tune, broadcast, and change it back with other denizens of the building none the wiser.
that sucks, when you try to destroy the cades and you cant kill humans after that.

I am suffering this bug with my zombie character. After I successfully land a hands attack with Tangling Grasp on a survivor, no further attack of mine lands on that survivor, I miss each and every time, until I run out of AP. No flavor text about the grasp/loss of grasp either. For the last 4 days I've been unable to hit any character more than once per day. Only thing I can do now is attack barricades... Please, PLEASE fix it -- Narhrarh 03 Mar 2009
==Bugs on which further information is requested==
Some bugs are reported in a manner that causes questions to crop up - responses in the form of 'Can you tell me more about X in that particular situation?'. This section is thus for bugs that have been acknowledged and are pending discussion, but still lack a bit of information to properly understand, or to properly identify as a bug (or not).


I don't know if this helps, but recently, I have been getting really odd things related to the RNG. On a human with no firearms training, I managed to hit 4 times in a row with a flare (2.5%) and later on, on a different character, I got to miss 50 times with a knife at 50% Hit Rate. something must be going on.... -- Janjakko 06 April 2009

Normally, moving from the gatehouse to any building within the fort, with or without freerunning, will deposit the character outside said building. However, attempting to move to a ruined one will give the normal message for attempting to free ruin into a ruined building i.e. "you are forced to street level" or "you lose your footing" complete with health loss in the second case. Additionally, attempting to free run into the ruined armory will give one of the two messages as well as the normal message stating the impossibility of free running into the armory.

I had 16 misses in a row with shotties/pistols not an hour earlier and I thought I had just had the worst luck in the history of UD. I wasn't doing anything so honorably as zerg hunting, but I WAS shooting at another human, and I could have kept on missing if I didn't run out of AP. I was pissed though. I find it hard to believe that we were both just really unlucky at the same time.--[[User:Suburban Ed|Suburban Ed]] 01:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


Happens to zombies all the time, at least high high miss streaks do. If you are missing wait a while between attacks, it seems that the game balances for everyone or in cycles or some such thing but streaks happen a lot and if you are in the middle of one it probably won't go away until later in the day.--<small>[[User:Karek|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 12:35, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
A recently-cut fir tree has been propped up in a crude stand.


Even as severe as this is, since you hadn't tripped the zerg flag, it's just shitty luck.  I've experienced crap like this as well.  Even with damn good hit-rates, misses do happen a lot a number of times.--[[User:Kolechovski|Kolechovski]] 16:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
But... it is dark in here! Why can you see the recently cut fir tree? Is this a glitch, or can you see all decorative items?


I have been having a similar problem for the past 2 weeks or so. It seems I've "tripped the zerg flag", as it were, though I am very careful to never let my alts interact, even going so far as to never having them in the same suburb (at least not intentionally... this may have happened once or twice). Anyhow, all three of my characters go through their entire stock of AP daily without more than one or two hits (their profiles: http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1017827, http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1014948, and http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1016311, in Gibsonton, Pitneybank, and Pegton, respectively). It's getting really frustrating... I can't do anything to any survivors because I miss with almost every attack! This is more than a string of bad luck, as I've gone through about 500 AP or so with only a few hits, which shouldn't happen with a 50% hit rate. Moving to "Bugs reported more than once" in the case that this is indeed a bug.--[[User:DeadGerry|DeadGerry]] 8:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

A recently-cut fir tree has been propped up in a crude stand.
:I can confirm. [http://iamscott.net/1300213632163.html]. I believe trees and other holiday decorative items have different rules than typical decorative items. They are more like generators and radio transmitters. Since you can interact with them, they are always visible, even in the dark.

::Sure, Pegton and Pitneybank are close, but they're different suburbs... at worst, my alts were in the same suburb for a few moves when one was moving with his group.

I've had a similar problem with my Monroeville alt [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1168732 Baal Friend] over the last 4 days.  Today 45 out of 48 claws (50% chance) were misses, previous 3 days weren't much better, only getting 5 or 6 hits (prior to that, everything was fine).  My only other character is in Malton and is not having any problems.  At time of writing, I've held my IP address for at least 3d19h. [[User:Bale Frend|Bale Frend]] 13:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
  '''Comments here'''
:Issue lasted a further 4 days (total of 8) before I tried reseting my IP.  It worked wonders, back to regular hit rate. I was part of a small horde and as stated above my only other character is in Malton, so I can't see it as anything other than a faulty zerg flag. [[User:Bale Frend|Bale Frend]] 06:07, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::And it's back.  It was nice to be able to hit for a couple of days. [[User:Bale Frend|Bale Frend]] 23:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
I think it is pretty obvious the Random Number Generator is not really random and there are some serious flaws in the algorithm.  Both survivors and Zombies see this repeatedly, but Zombies are really impaired by it because of the game mechanics. While trying to take down a barricade one can easily blow 30 AP to take down one level (without anyone active inside rebarricading).  It can also be seen while attacking a common target in a horde.  If the group is attacking a single player most will miss repeatedly.  It seems this is further compounded by having Tangling Grasp (ie. someone hits before you, you lose your grasp, which almost assures you miss your next attack).  I'm confused why a better algorithm is not implemented, such as '''Mersenne Twister'''.  There are much better algorithms than the standard C/C++ rand(), which is '''known''' to provide less random low-bits.  Mersenne Twister is fast, a good pseudo-random generator and freely available over the internet.[[User:Crying McNuggetts|Crying McNuggetts]] 13:07, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
:Well, what's the current algorithm used, and what's its flaws? Yeah, I know it's rather stiff and doesn't seem all that fluid/random, but what's the worst part of it?  And yeah, there will be on/off days, but these guys shouldn't be seeing so many off hits across so many days.  Guys, who's your IP provider and are you on a constant connection or dial-up?  If others have used your IP (especially on frequent networks), that could be constantly triggering teh anti-0zerg thingy.--[[User:Kolechovski|Kolechovski]] 15:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
::I've been having this problem too, and since I own no alts, it can't be that. The only thing I can think of is that my girlfriend (who's computer is on the same network as me) is in the same Survivor group as me, and so we're usually in the same area, but this problem only seems to be affecting me, not her. [[User:MILLANDSON|MILLANDSON]] 03:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
:::If you're playing on the same network as her, you're using the same IP address, so if you gusy are operatign closely, it will trigger those anti-zerg countermeasures. Maybe she's unaffected by it if she always does her runs first (the system may not have yet detected a zerg problem until you login).  You'll need a different network to play on if you both are playing and are constantly close to each other.--[[User:Kolechovski|Kolechovski]] 18:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I've been seeing the same thing with some of my characters- I have a scout down in the southwest corner, a doctor in the middle, and a zombie in the far northeast, and some days my scout will just not hit anything, despite having all the gun skills. My zombie has been even worse, over the last week I don't think he's hit more than 15 times in the 300 AP he has used over the last week or so.--[[User:Doctor E|Doctor E]] 18:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Do you mean in those corners of Malton, or corners of the same suburb? In the same suburb, that's definitely the anti-zerg filter kicking in, because everyone's too close.  But if they're spread across Malton, it's simply bad luck.  I know from experience just how amazingly bad the rates of success can be, even though they should be better according to the odds.--[[User:Kolechovski|Kolechovski]] 19:39, 2 September 2008 (BST)
:I've had similar problems with my alt, but my main seems to have incredibly high hit rates. It seems like my alt only has two to ten successful actions per day and that's everything, not just attacks. My main however seems to hit almost at an unfair level, I tend to hit at least 40-45 every day. I don't see how this can be so unbalanced.--[[User:Rohndogg1|Rohndogg1]] 14:08, 11 October 2008 (BST)
On a similar note, is something wrong with crowbars? Supposedly, crowbars suffer no accuracy penalty for attacking barricades. So a survivor with Basic HTH skill and a crowbar should have the same % chance of lowering barricades as a survivor with Basic HTH, Axe Specialty, and a fire axe. However, over the last several days, this does not seem to be true. 40 AP with a crowbar at (supposedly) 20% yielded no hits, just "You try to lever away a section of the barricade, but slip and fail." At the same time, 40 AP with a fire axe at 40/2 = 20% has been enough to lower barricades at least 3-4 levels each time. In theory, either method should lower the barricades by 6-8 levels or so, but I have yet to successfully "hit" with a crowbar. {{User:Extropymine/sig}} 01:46, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


Pumpkin glitch mayhaps? As in Pumpkin is destroyed and button stays. Dunno. Never seen it before. I'll confirm with Tyrrano ASAP.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature3‎}} 23:41, 31 October 2010 (UTC)


::Just adding my two cents, even though I know the formatting is wrong. This "streak" that it puts zombies on is absolutely atrocious. It's impossible. I have a 40% chance to hit. I missed with my first shot, hit with the second, and then missed ''twenty-seven consecutive times'' thereafter. This is not the first time it's happened either. Every time I get turned into a zombie I will hit in the first or second shot, and then miss thereafter. Sometimes for over 30 consecutive attacks.
This probably isn't a bug, since when does the interface have a Refresh button? Your add-on is probably what has an issue.--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 02:44, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

:Agreed, take it to a place where zergs are dealt with. It's possible, though unlikely, that this is merely a case of different players who intentionally used similar names (e.g. Pathetic Bill, Silly Lilly Pilly, etc.), though the folks at Resens or elsewhere would be better suited to say. If they actually are zergs, then there are already measures in the game to catch them, and if the measures aren't working, it's not a bug, so much as the zergs finding a way to circumvent the system. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 21:44, 6 April 2010 (BST)

Looks to me like its a 0 ammo pistol with a leftover radio freq tagged on the end- as you say, related to the other "super ammo" guns (which don't actually shoot more times than normal guns, afaik).  I think dropping / reloading all your pistols should fix it.  {{User:Swiers/Sig}} 22:49, 13 September 2007 (BST)
: Well, I guess it's kinda fixed.  I reloaded all my pistols yesterday, and it became a 61 shot pistol...

I just logged in and the first pistol in my inventory had 61 bullets in it. Normally I use UDtoolbar, but today I was on a friends computer, so I was using an older version of FireFox. I didn't fire any shots, because I only had two AP and was in a mall.  Refreshing the page did not fix this. All of my other pistols were full, as usual.

Personally, i think that is a mistake in Wiki. I see no reason, that good bite of warm meat and sip of salty blood would help you less, than cold rotting carrion. Perosnally, i'd even make HP income frmo corpse less than incom from biting the survivior. I guess if Kevan would care, he can clarify his point of few. I re-read wiki after your msg, and there realyl is claimed 4HP for corpse, i admit. But before it i never expected >3HP on this skill. BTW, is there (or was someday) soem skillset, so Z would bite for 4HP ? Perhaps someday bite corpse was calibrated to be equal to max-power bite on enemy, and later bite was made less dangerous, and corpse were forgotten to afjust accordingly ? [[User:Annoynimouse|Shambler for Shambala]] 19:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 
The problem is not in the Wiki. I encountered the digestion only healing 3 HP yesterday and actually thought it was the correct number and Wiki was wrong. It was a regular zombie in Molton, no masks or anything else funny. However, using Digestion today on the same character it is consistently healing 4 HP per bite. So definitely there is something strange in the code. [[User:Polaria|Kay VanRaven]] 12:55, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

I can confirm this as an actual bug. I just infected someone without hitting to cause any damage. As in I went to bit, missed, but they still got infected.

A few minutes later i refreshed the map with the link ( http://urbandead.com/map.cgi , not that you think i did something). Now my AP was 0, so i refreshed again. Then they dropped to -1AP.

: ''not that you think i did something)'' - that depends how refresh made in the browser. Paste URL into address bar and Opera would open last version from cache, and Mozilla would refetch new page from server, not remember MSIE way. Press refresh button/gesture and browser most probably woud repeat last action, even if it has no more sense like second syringe into the same z. Carefully track what actions you do and what AP-cost they have. As of now it seems DDRJake is right and you just try actions that cost several AP. For example revivification, beeing single action takes 10AP and you can fall to -9AP easily. [[User:Annoynimouse|Shambler for Shambala]] 19:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

The details of the bug are explained in the article I linked (though, I think it's actually more like 7.7-7.8 seconds, rather than 8, based my experimentation). For instance, it's trivial to go 20/20 searching for FAKs in ruined hospitals once you can find that first FAK and get in the groove. It's even easier in lit hospitals since finding the groove is simpler there. You can also use it to find things like flak jackets, generators, fuel cans, and other rare items much more easily. Groove Theory might also explain some cases of streaky success/failure rates that others report as bugs.

I actually suspect the bug is that they have HP>50, since last I checked the HP boost of Flesh Rot wasn't supposed to affect survivors.

Screenshots/iwitness or some more detail would be nice. Could you describe the sequence of events specifically? From what it sounds like, you were doing searches, found a flaregun, found ''some items'' afterwards, and then you moved somewhere else and entered the URL manually. At that point, it seemingly teleported you back to the location where you had found the items, and you started finding them again in the same order. Is that correct? Honestly, it sounds more like a browser cache issue than a bug with the game, I have to say, especially since the description was rather sparse. Now, if you suddenly have 2x of each of those items, then we might have something to discuss, but you gave no indication of that. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 03:11, 29 June 2010 (BST)

===Darkened building diagnosis glitch ''outside'' the building===

|bug_status=new

|bug_desc=My profile is [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1554619 Gyles Zednik].  While testing this bug, I started as a zombie with the diagnosis skill, and then purchased scent blood to further test it.
I have also observed this problem with a human with diagnosis and scent blood, and I reported that.  The problem is with the July 3rd 2009 update to diagnosis and darkened buildings. As I understand it, this update should only affect the diagnosis skill while standing ''inside'' a darkened building, because it is too dark ''inside'' to make a diagnosis.  However, I have observed numerous times that survivors standing ''outside'' a darkened building do not display their HP if you have the diagnosis skill.


Here is a [http://udwitness.oddnetwork.org/reports/2009/08/udw-20090822-115559-a4ca776062fc23ac137989f699f23c8f-Gyles_Zednik.html screenshot] of my [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1554619 zombie character] (who has diagnosis) looking at a survivor standing in the street ''outside'' of a darkened building.  Notice there is no HP listed. 
I don't have iwitness and screenshots take forever on my computer. And it didn't teleport me back to the spot, I was in the same spot but when I clicked search again it went to "internet explorer can not display this webpage" so I just enterd in the url to search again. --[[User:Zamins|Zamins]] 22:07, 29 June 2010 (BST)

No as far as I can tell there is no way to screen shot it. I click and 4 AP disappears and it fails to barricade. Also to make things worse it is happening on movement as well. One can assume this will happen on anything I do. WTF! My account by the way is id=1363977 but it happens on them all intermittently. {{User:TreeBob/sig}} 23:20, 27 July 2009 (EST)
 
I had reported this problem with TreeBob yesterday... happened to me 3 times. What I noticed the last time is that before clicking on the extension button "refresh", I had 3 ap... once clicked I had 8 ap. I am using firefox as well.  I started cading and I was out like a light sleeping on the 3rd ap.... thinking it could be that extension problem... or related. I have 4 alts in game... so... I run fast not sure which of the 4 :) ID 1444823 = Murderess, ID 1272525 = Jenjen88, ID 1567676 = Miss Naomi, ID 1508051 = Nina Ducks. [[User:Murderess|Murderess]]23:45, 27 July 2009

I have taken the extention out and while cading I was losing 4 ap at a time ?? and I hadn't refresh prior... I logged in, faked myself and caded... ?? [[User:Murderess|Murderess]] 18:26, 28 July 2009 (EST)
 
Evidence: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4644/apglitchloosefail.png Notice how I fail on loose. I get the feeling it has something to do with the new Firefox 3.5.1 update that came out recently. Just guessing as it is not happening in IE. {{User:TreeBob/sig}} 22:00, 28 July 2009 (EST)
 
ok still not happening in IE but I used Firefox again and it happened of course. One thing I noticed that was strange and never saw before. Look at the URL of this  print screen. What's with the barricade89 at the end of it? It used 4 AP and failed of course. http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/5568/glitchbarricade89.png  By the way I turned off the Firefox add-ons so it is not that. {{User:TreeBob/sig}} 20:49, 29 July 2009 (EST)
 
The first screenshot still has extensions, so that doesn't help as it might still be those. Concerning the other stuff:
*You ''can'' fail even on loose cading. It's like less than 1% but it happens.
*The "barricade89" is the action you took. Most actions show up in the URL, always have done. Barricading also has a number added to the end which is generated randomly. This was put in ages ago to prevent abuse by bots. It won't cade without the right number, and the number changes each time you load the page.
*If you turned off add-ons for the second screenshot, and you think it might be FF 3.5.1 that's the problem, see if the error still occurs for '''you''' on straight 3.5. If it does, it's probably something on your end, if not, then I expect more reports will confirm the 4AP issue as people upgrade from 3.5 to 3.5.1 . {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 02:02, 30 July 2009 (BST)
 
Right, so i've been experimenting a lot. I uninstalled it a couple times. Second time I removed all preferences, so a full delete. Downloaded a new version and same problem. Next I ran it in safemode. I tried UD and it worked like a charm! Also, I was having gmail problems. It was having slow load times and generally impossible to delete the spam folder. Incidentally when I switched to the older version of gmail I had no problem. Either way after going to safemode this problem was fixed as well. Since this is a clean - no extension reinstall I really don't know what that would mean. I know it confirms firefox as the culprit. Someone other than myself and Murderess must be having issues. WHo knows if anyone actually reports them here. --{{User:TreeBob/sig}} 22:00, 29 July 2009 (EST)
:I'm running Firefox 3.0.12 (I don't bother updating often) and I have no UD-modifying add-ons and I can fail barricading without losing 4ap.

::I never had any problems running the old version either, this is a new problem and I assume it is being caused by the newest update. {{User:TreeBob/sig}} 09:30, 30 July 2009 (EST)
 
I finally got the chance to test this recently. On FF 3.5.2 with Greasemonkey and using some of [[User:Midianian/Userscripts|Midianian]]'s scripts enabled I was able to cade successfully and unsuccessfully for 1AP at a time. So I'm not sure what's up on your end, but you could try swapping out your scripts from some of his, they do the same stuff and don't cause any problems. (well the ones I use don't, anyway) {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 17:12, 6 August 2009 (BST)
:As I said above I did a full uninstall and reinstalled with no add-ons. Since it still happened that means is something to do with FF itself not greasmonkey. Two more people just posted the same issue and both are using the newest FF version. It is random in occurrence but when it begins happening it doesn't really stop. Running in safe mode fixed the problem but that doesn't really narrow it down for me at all. With the new people making claims that brings it to 5 in total just posting here. I imagine most people don't post problems here. {{User:TreeBob/sig}} 11:06, 26 August 2009 (EST)
 
I have had similar problems with frequent failure to cade (even at LiB and LoB) and the loss of 2 AP for each failure. This occurs on my new laptop only on which I run FireFox 3.5.2 and is not an issue on my old laptop that runs FireFox 2.0.0.20.  --[[User:Anne tardew|Anne tardew]] 03:11, 27 August 2009 (BST)
 
Yeah I'm having these problems a lot recently, and I do have the most recent version of Firefox myself. The greasemonkey thing, though, could you explain how it is that solution works? I'm curious as to what to do. --[[User:Aguyuno|Aguyuno]] 03:53, 27 August 2009 (BST)
 
I can't begin to wonder what's going on. I just retested (still 3.5.2, a few times with add-ons and scripts active then a few without) and got the usual 1AP for both success and failure in all cases. But if this a random and fleeting occurrence that just makes it all the harder to pin down. Beyond asking you chaps to keep an eye out for anything that might be triggering it, I can't suggest much else since all else seems equal. So if you find it happen again, think back about recent actions you took and anything that might have triggered it. Maybe accidental double-clicks are just easier now? I'm stumped here, sorry. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 04:45, 27 August 2009 (BST)

Usually it would say "XX healed you for 10 HP. They cure your infection." Also worth noting that my friend (whose character is not really Billy Joel) told me the game gave him the message that he cured my infection. My next action was to repair the building, which cost me 49 AP, while I still received the message "You lost 1 HP to your infection." I did find out however that infection doesn't stack on super repairs, which is good. I'm sorry I don't have any screenshots, I had some things to do and didn't think to report this, so I closed my browser.

===Scent Death Failing to Locate Contacts a Block Away===

|bug_desc=There seem to be places in Malton that foil Scent Death locating other members of your horde. My fellow zambah, Hentemann and I, [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=735451 Ginormous] have experimented with this, finding that there are particular locations (I apologise for not having screenies) such as the Blanning Building in Fryerbank and some of the wastelands in that area that seem to mask the scent of your contact. We moved off and on, trying it out with both of us trying to scent the other and it was location specific. I know that being indoors seems to mask it, and being in a pile of bodies seems to mask it, but we were both up and outside. I'd swear this has happened elsewhere as well. Anyone else experienced this?

'''A further update:''' I now have screen shots of the effect in action. First up is the Marks NT where you can see [http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/8857/marksscentqa7.jpg here] that I do not detect any members of my horde. However, upon moving next door to Kray Towers [http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/6844/krayscentrf4.jpg here] you can see I can scent [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=220812 Hentemann] just fine.

It's pretty difficult to keep track of your horde members if Scent Death is broken and you're not completely metagaming. --[[User:Ginormous|Ginormous]] 01:09, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
:'''Further Further Update:''' In case anyone is reading this, just ran a perimeter around Hentemann at the Marks Building.

'''Long form 'description' of the issue:'''
<!-- PLACE YOUR COMMENTS **BELOW** THIS LINE - DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE -->
<br />I use the Contact List to helpfully manage my interactions. e.g. Rotters have a hue to save me time investigating 'known names' in RP queues, with other cues to identify various types of friendlies, PKers, etc, including one to distinguish Rotters (thus unrevivable) yet can be Life-allied/Dual Role and deserving of health assistance whilst not a zombie. A common enough system, I hope. I won't detail what colours are what, that doesn't matter. Usually the only problem is when I've hit the 150-limit (often) and I need to find someone to remove (inactive, or not been notable) to squeeze in another I'd like to 'remember'.
Comments here
<br />Some names I also know by sight, though. So it was obviously wrong to me when I had someone that I ''know'' to be full-on life-affirming 'good human' Survivor, and noted as building back up the 'cades in my present locale, appear in the activity log under a Rotter's version of the markup.
<!-- PLACE YOUR COMMENTS **ABOVE** THIS LINE - DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE -->}}
<br />Trawling the List, I now found multiple rotters ''not'' so marked. Admittedly, there's the option of gaining Rotter status after a good deed was noted by myself, but it was a large number of them (some with long-term notoriety) and roughly balanced against those with the opposite issue (you cannot even revoke Rotterdom, or any other 'skill', even if I wasn't sure some were pure Life-Allied players). Other recognised contacts were misclassified in less skill-obvious ways (e.g. non-rotter infamous Zeds, that I regularly have a run in with, looking like Survivor types; and vice-versa), but only obvious through familiarity.
<br />The pattern seemed to be mostly in the bottom fraction of the (alphabetical) Contact List, though a clear switch also happened up in the Ds (whilst unchanged/seemingly accurate tagging still peppered the whole list).
<br />This is not the first time it has happened, along these lines. Probably last time was several years back, once or twice before then. On none of these occasions have I had active UD Browser Plugins (I have used them prior to 2011, so I'm aware of their 'management' capabilities), the browsers themselves have probably varied (between FF, IE, Chrome, maybe until a year or two ago that minimalist tablet-based browser that stopped working due to certificates (not) updating for https access...), as have the character accounts in use. No reason to believe I 'misclicked' anything when perusing/managing the List (or certainly not so many of them!), nor that a third-party has hijacked whichever character account it was (each time) and just ''subtly'' 'vandalised' it. If you'll take my considered opinion, it seems more a dumb 'corruption' in the server, or server-browser link, than anything purely browser or PEBCAK in nature. Though I'm surprised that I have found no-one else mentioning this, after trying to find such a comment.
<br />I am half-inclined to believe that on adding (and, where necessary, removing) contacts, the "Name1=>Col1, Name2=>Col2 ... Name149=>Col149" was somehow disjointed (Nam149=>Col150, and back) on submitting legitimate and intentional changes. The 'shift' of Red onto a Green, that Green onto a Purple, its Purple onto a Black (where I can be certain what the originals are in cases of sequential mis-tagging) is obvious, but it's hard to rationalise by the spottiness of some of the changes. Nor with the HTML POST method of conveying them to the server that should not allow 'misalignments' except if the server does silly things with key/value pairs behind the scenes. Theoretically a similar shift-transference during non-alphabetical ordering (sorted by Level/XP, as I sometimes review the list, or loginId sorting internal to server?) and/or multiple disjointed updates could also be the issue, but still does not feel like the right answer. The difficulty is that the instant(s) of change may be from a few days or even a week before I actually noted any discrepancy, on each infrequent occasion I discovered it as happened, with other new updates to the list (with or without unintended misflaggings) happening between then and now. All I know is that I went digging further into the matter once I noticed the problem (and corrected/rationalised as it seemed fit to do, but without any actual offline list to cross-compare rigorously against). But I'm currently a bit more prepared to keep an eye out for any more imminent 'list corruptions', should it hiccup like this once(+) more shortly... And I hope all this anticipates many of the initial questions you might have. (Except for "why did you write so much?"...) Especially as there's no reason to believe that it's an easily replicatable bug/whatever-it-is. On past occasions, I aggressively temporarily Deleted Contacts and added random others to try to provoke mismatches (on the assumption that such 'shuffling' is most likely the cause), but it has never actually happened during such controlled testing.[[User:Longtimenewbie|Longtimenewbie]] ([[User talk:Longtimenewbie|talk]]) 14:48, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

It happens (for me) on different browsers, and now confirmed different ISPs (though geolocatably similar subsets of the non-RFC 1918 ranges, I suppose) so very surprised it has not been reported by others already.
I'm pretty sure this one has be fixed. It says something along the lines of "you take a bite, it's bitter, you spit it out".

To try to replicate, I offer the following generic instructions:
<!-- PLACE YOUR COMMENTS **ABOVE** THIS LINE - DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE -->}}
* From a properly logged-in state, go to ''any'' valid profile page. I'll use https://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=2000000 for this run-through, but quote just "''NAME''" for simplicity, as required.
* The 'button' at the page-end for "Add ''NAME'' to your Contacts List" will send you to https://www.urbandead.com/contacts.cgi?add=2000000
* Normally/previously (so long as you aren't hitting the 150-contact limit!) one would get a "Added to contacts." header to the newly updated list with ''NAME'' now present. If you still do, it either is fixed, or never was broken for you.
* Current behaviour, however is to get a "Confirm that you want to add ''NAME'' to your contact list." header with a 'button'-link of "Add ''NAME''".
** I have never even seen this before this week, but I accept that it's something useful if clicked in from unknown cross-site source pages with the add-link (the quoted HTTP GET query URI format, or otherwise?)
* The destination for the confirming Add link is https://www.urbandead.com/contacts.cgi?add=2000000&confirmed=1
* But that page is identical to the one you just left ''except'' for the revised address bar for the browser itself.
* Changing the URI to https://www.urbandead.com/contacts.cgi?add=2000000&confirm=1 and resubmitting ''sometimes'' gives the "Added to contacts." result. In fact, it happened first time for this run-through.
** I discovered this only from a (seemingly) inspired guess. For all I know, the query-parser at the CGI backend is actually ambivalent as to the exact fieldname tense and it is only coincidence that the original link always failed in the recent days of awkwardness.
* ''However'', it still does not always work. It frequently also gives the same "Confirm..." header as you just left (for "confirmed=") and this does not seem to be due to cached page-contents/responses (where shift-F5 is possible, or other forced-resubmit option is used).
** Immediately prior to starting this BugRep, I had persistently failed to Add a new (actually useful) contact even with "confirm=", which led to the BugRep you now see.
** Having succeeded with "add=2000000", I (re)refreshed that still-tabbed page ''and it worked!''.
** I then tried a further (fresh, new randomly selected) profile from scratch and it failed at "add=", "add=&confirmed=" ''and'' "add=&confirm=" stages. Go figure.
...so, for your consideration. At least until the weirdness just goes away, if it's a heisenbug of some kind.

Fuck me that's a lot of text.  Just reenter the link of the page after clicking add.  On a phone refresh doesn't work but if you click on the address line and then click "go" it works. I assume a pc is similar. --<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 22:30, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
:If 'just re-enter the link' worked, I'd never have (eventually, after a week of sileny tusselling with the problem) made this BugRep. Sorry for the huge amount of text, but I wanted to be sure that everyone (especially those ''not'' experiencing the issue - as I presume is your case) understood what on earth I was talking about.
:But you have made me think. If "confirmed=1" is broken (whyeverso it is suddenly happening to me) but "confirm=1" is actually being ignored (not related to an introduced typo in the php script or anything) then just as "confirm=" ''sometimes'' does not give a "Confirm that..." response, maybe indeed the add-only address would (sometimes) work and I'll have to also try that kludge a few times, at the next opportunity, to see if that is just as efficaceous.
:Still worth noting that:
:a) For some reason, the Profile-page "Add" has stopped giving me confirm-free additions to the Contacts List
:b) I have yet to identify why Contacts-page "(Confirm) Add" sometimes works and sometimes does not, and ''never'' with the presumably correct (by intention, at least) "confirmed=1" query-label and value pair.
:So, still a bug. At the very least a change in behaviour. My current main character joined a decade ago, and was not even my first presence here, yet with no other recent changes at my end it is only in the shadow of a server move (which seemingly has 'killed' another old character whose long-forgotten password is irretrievably unavailable except in a much older instance of browser that doesn't seem to play well any more with some https-certification changes that were brought in, I'm guessing - but I'm not bugrepping that, ''c'est la vie''(/mort)) that this problem has arisen. I don't take this place for granted. I was actually surprised it was still going in 2011 when I rejoined after several years away. If Kevan is ''still'' actively maintaining (c.f. RNG issues, recently) then I applaud that and I only report this in case it helps squish some error that others might be experiencing.
:That's all. Unless you need me to quote versions of browser (Chrome, Firefox) and OS (Windows, Android) and ISP gateways (both UK-based) that I troubleshot by trying various combinations thereof and then firmly decided (in my mind, at least) could not be attributed as the point of failure (or even a complicating factor). And apologies for even more 'lot of text', but apparently my first attempt did not explain as much as I thought. [[User:Soupspoon|Soupspoon]] ([[User talk:Soupspoon|talk]]) 23:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
:'''Latest''' Further tests done in the cool light of the morning:
:* Profile-page Add ''always'' arrives at Contacts-page with "Confirm" text and onward link (this may not be a technical error, but is certainly new behaviour and I don't think it's intended).
:* Contact-page (confirming) Add ''always'' gets the Contacts/Confirm (clearly not working properly, the "confirmed=1" does not convey any actual confirmation).
:* Yes: removing the "confirmed=1", or spoiling the key-value pair in any way, "confirm=" or "=2", or ''just'' null-editing but resubmitting the address in the address-bar (but ''not'' refreshing the page, straight) gives the hoped for Contacts/Added (this is not an error, and may have always been valid as an option, but is an unconventional ''requirement'' for onward functionality when the on-page link should work).
:My semi-informed Wild-Assed-Guess is now that the contacts.php has been using referer() or similar (I'm more familiar with .pl CGI than .php, and it might even be referrer()!) to identify off-site linking and filter arrival from non-UD sources to prevent unwanted auto-add-contact behaviour. (e.g. by tricking a fake 'image' load on any visits to a User:Talk page, or other examples that might be so mischeviously 'useful'.)
:A typed-in-address-bar Add URL request (or anything similarly refererless/whatever) has always had an automatic free pass, by having a null referer and thus not so simply spoofed.
:Access from Profile page or Contacts (with or without the "confirmed"?) ''should'' be detected as same-site referer, and was. It now is not. For me.
:Checks for what HTTP contact info my browser is actually sending places do not reveal any obvious shenanigans that are my problem (e.g. badly hidden redirection malware), so I'm quite surprised it is not a global problem. Or ''very'' surprised if I ''am'' the only sufferer.
:I now know how to get round it. Maybe... Except for this morning's suite of multiple tests, I also have had failures with address-bar resubmits, as well! Time will tell... [[User:Soupspoon|Soupspoon]] ([[User talk:Soupspoon|talk]]) 09:34, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
::Just to let you know that you're not the only one. I and others in my group have seen that too (could just be that most old timers who read the wiki aren't adding many new people). The changing of "confirmed=1" to "confirm=1" does work for me. I haven't tried the rest. But it's not just you :) --[[User:Queen Mum|Queen Mum]] ([[User talk:Queen Mum|talk]]) 23:33, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
I think I found what was causing this. It should be fixed now. --[[User:Kevan|Kevan]] ([[User talk:Kevan|talk]]) 18:03, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
:Aye, I was just going to come here to report that it seems suddenly fixed. The last time I had to 'play' with it to get it to work (which has at times included leaving an attempted-to-add tab open that my 'fix' was still not fixing, to try to resubmit for success some hours later) was maybe the day before your response, Kevan. But just now two additions went through as (originally) expected, so it very much looks like you have sorted it satisfactorily. I won't be cheeky enough to ask for full details, just let me believe it's as I hypothesised and that I'm a genius in black-box diagnostics. ;)

While it's possible to send more than 255 characters to the server and have the entire message echoed back to you, any bystanders will only see the first 255, with the remainder of the message being cut off. So as Midianian said, the limit is also server-side.<br>Now, what would be the closure code... '''INVALID''' ? {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 10:28, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Assuming an Abbey is the same set up as a church/catherdral then it won't have doors to close on the interface. However the spirit of the pipe blocking was to give newbies a free level of barricades, which the mechanics you have shown illustrate. The bug here is the flavour text. If Kevan doesn't see this, stick it into the suggestions system in a couple of days as a flavour text alteration and it'll be sorted. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 22:21, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Just to be sure, when you say "tried to revive [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1711038 this one]", you mean "created crazy" is in your contact list, and you selected that name in the drop down menu when using a needle, or had just scanned them and used the "revive this specimen" button?  Because otherwise, it is conceivable that there was another zombie presnet in your loaction which you never saw (because, say, the moved in after you loaded your page, and move out again just after you used your needle).  Using a needle on "the zombie" never ensure you actually hit the zombie you want, even if (as far as you know) there is only one zombie present.  {{User:Swiers/Sig}} 20:01, 28 May 2011 (BST)

Also, today I bought skills in shotgun training, advanced shotgun training, and lab experience. Once I bought these, the percentages of all hit rates for weapons have decreased. I have every military skill and my hit rates have always been higher for each weapon I chose than they are now. I have dropped to what appears to be basic starting percentages for chance of hit rate as if I had no skills at all: punch 12.5%, knife 25%, pistol 32.5%, shotgun 32.5%, and fire axe 20%. The amount of damage looks correct and unchanged, though. My character's name is "Victoria Anne". Thank you.

Nope.  This is affecting many dead accounts now.  Many of them even were standing at full health, and others that were dead were killed inside without being dragged out.  To make matters worse, not only do they constantly appear outside, but it seems to be happening at random times, based on zombie attacks.  I've also had a zombie today mysteriously materialize, giving me one hit, even though I was active and saw no zombies around, inside or outside my area.

Don't know if this is meant to be this way, but it seems buggy. I was collecting pumpkins from a park and I was able to pick up (it seems), as many as I want, despite reaching 314% encumbrance! Also, I was wondering, how long can I keep said pumpkins? Do they spoil if kept too long?

|bug_desc=I was in a building with a working generator and transmitter set to 26.98Mhz. I then moved one building over and tried to tune my hand held radio to the same frequency but I got the message "You still hear only static" instead of "The static hisses to a clear silence".

Highly doubt this is a bug.  What I'm guessing is this: You got the original message the first time you tuned your radio, and since then, this is the second time you've tuned it. Am I on the money?  If you don't remember, that's fine. I'll test it out later. --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 19:12, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
:My radio was previously tuned to the EBS on 25.92Mhz. I just tried retuning again with the same results. First I tuned to 26.75Mhz and I got "The static hisses to a clear silence". I then re-tuned again to 26.75Mhz and got "The reception remains clear". Finally, I tuned it back to 26.98Mhz and got "The radio begins to hiss static". I even had another one of my characters tune his radio to 26.98Mhz and also got "The radio begins to hiss static". --[[User:Thvortex|Thvortex]] 20:50, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I see that [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1774326 you] have Free Running. Were you trying to enter ruined buildings via Free Running? Doing so has a chance to take off 5HP for each time you do it. Also, maybe you were infected? You didn't tell us that you weren't, but it's the most obvious answer. Otherwise, it's possible you were attacked without actually having noticed the messages. I really don't know for sure. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:30, 6 October 2010 (BST)
:I'm often HEALED without being told who healed me. I guess this is similarish. --{{User:Lady Clitoria/Sig}} 23:54, 6 October 2010 (BST)
:No, I didn't have an infection, but yes, the free-running may have been the cause because my character is sometimes moved to safety by another person. They say that they don't think they fell off. Also, I've never had to move back inside afterwards, so I trust that they didn't fall. And that it would take 8 drops in the 2-3 times that they've played since the last time I checked my health.
:The most likely cause was that the zombie I got to follow me broke in then got kicked out after gnawing on me. Without me being told that a zombie gnawed my left arm off.-[[User:Caboose661|Caboose661]] 00:42, 7 October 2010 (BST)
::If multiple people are playing your character, then the messages regarding the attacks would have gone to whichever of you logged on first after the attack happened. I've had cases where I logged on, but then quit my browser without seeing the messages (i.e. I missed them, since they only get displayed to me once, and I didn't look at them), and then later logged on, only to wonder why I was low on HP or infected. Also, sharing accounts is generally frowned upon, since it very quickly leads to concerns regarding [[zerging]] and [[alt abuse]], just so you're aware. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 05:49, 7 October 2010 (BST)
:::They didn't log on after that. It's probably that I just didn't get the notification. I didn't check my HP for two days, and in that period the guy I was staying with lost HP and the barricades were down a little bit. I was also tagging zombies to get them to follow me. The strange part was that it was just one zombie that would brought the barricades down from EHB and then hurt us both.-[[User:Caboose661|Caboose661]] 00:21, 12 October 2010 (BST)

|bug_desc=After buying tangling grasp, accuracy has fallen very close to zero. With Vigour Mortis and Death Grip, my hand attacks were successful about 50% of the time (as expected). When I purchased tangling grasp, the first hit against a user will be about 50% successful, and I can never hit them again. On one occasion I went from 16 AP when I started attacking, the first hit was successful, the remaining 15 failed, as did a few after recharging action points. On a later occasion, I went from 10 AP, the second attack hit, and the remaining 8 failed. I'm currently building up AP to try a larger scale test.
|bug_desc=Every time I log in with my character, [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1781248 <nowiki>SD''Snake''Plissken</nowiki>], my browser won't keep the cookies and I can't do anything before being logged out. Before you ask, yes I tried it with other characters and they're okay. I even tried different open proxy sites, but to no avail. It seems to be a problem with my character, not my browser as every other cookie seems to be working. I wouldn't be able to edit this wiki if it wasn't. I also deleted all cookies for a fresh start, tried again, but still getting logged out.


I have two alts, a survivor (AusIV) in Fryerbank, and a zombie (ESGZombIV) in Roftwood. I'm not aware of having ever used the same IP as another player, so I don't think this could be a zerging flag.
UPDATE: I tried logging in on a friend's computer, and I was able to move, but then I was logged out again.

I'm having this problem with my level 42 zombie as well; seems to have been this way ever since I hit level 42, so for about a month now. Basically, once I grab someone, I won't hit them again, at all, with any attack. It's not a function of the anti-zerging code because I don't have any other active characters, and I'm reasonably certain no one on the network does either.

I have the same problem as AusIV.  I have a few alts, but they are nowhere near each other.  Whenever I "grab hold" of someone, that means that I won't be hitting them again. [[User:Poopgiggle|Poopgiggle]] 20:28, 30 April 2008 (BST)
::Well let's see...When you log on and do any action, do you get switched to another one of character?  If so, that can be solved by logging out. If that's not the case, then sit tight.

:Never mind, it seems this was only temporary. Once again, the first attack hits, successive attacks fail. I'm never informed that I've lost my grip, the attacks just miss repeatedly. Back to using bite. --[[User:AusIV|AusIV]] 02:40, 9 May 2008 (BST)
 
Perhaps this is a result of zerging countermeasures. I've found that if my Zombie keeps it's distance from my girlfriend's character, it has much better results. This seems weird though, because I've never logged on from the same network as my girlfriend. When I'm not having the problem, I get messages along the lines of "''player'' writhes in your grasp. Your attack does no damage." or "your attack does no damage. You lose your grip." When I am having the problem, I'm just told that my attack misses.--[[User:AusIV|AusIV]] 19:06, 12 May 2008 (BST)
:Now I'm half way across the map from any of my alts, or my girlfriend's alts. It's possible that I've been linked with someone I'm unaware of while using a public network, but this means I have knowing what areas I have to avoid in order to be able to attack. It makes my character unusable, and if it doesn't start working soon, I may dump the character and start over, being more careful about logging in from public networks. --[[User:AusIV|AusIV]] 15:15, 24 May 2008 (BST)

More than likely, someone didn't want to cut his words in the middle.  Like the first broadcast, for example.  It's 59 characters long, and the next word is "of", and if cut off at 60, the "o" and the "f" would have been in different broadcast, which might cause some slight confusion. --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 23:08, 2 April 2008 (BST)

"You move quickly through your safehouse.  You drop your pistol." It seems to me to be a complete waste of the skill, especially the cost for using it, if the bonus AP are wasted on dropping items, the one thing you can do in the game that doesn't cost any AP.  Plus, the way it's worded makes it sound like your character is clumsy.--[[User:Billy McGoggenhammer|Billy McGoggenhammer]] 13:17, 25 August 2010 (BST)

It looks like you got killed and then issued a command to attack (or it didn't get processed till after you were killed) and so you couldn't make the attack (invalid action) but also could not see the reports of being attacked (you;d taken an action).  Pretty standard "0 time conflict" stuff.  You were in a mall- were you maybe mashing buttons really fast to attack?  As for the stand up, you were at 13, gained an AP from the server tic, spent 10 to stand up, leaving you with 4.  Nothing wrong there.  {{User:Swiers/Sig}} 06:31, 1 April 2008 (BST)

:Yeah, except for the fact I died in one move with 50 HP. I don't think there's anything that can do that. {{User:Jordan Salafack/sig}} 13:57, 1 April 2008 (BST)
::Sure there is.  One move for you might be 10 moves for somebody else (there's ways to fire off multiple moves VERY quickly).  Also, with multiple active shotgun users in the mall, you can die FAST.  Its also maybe possible you were hit with a syringe and didn't get revived due to the same zero time conflict that caused you not to get the report.  {{User:Swiers/Sig}} 18:39, 1 April 2008 (BST)
::::Well, the syringe would only work here if the same conflict that caused the problem made the syringe not work, as I was still dead when I rose. And it was only about ten seconds from click to click for me, so if it was an attack the dude would have to be super fast on the keyboard and very lucky. I'm thinking the most plausible out of your explanations is the syringe thing, followed by plain old sudden death, followed by attacking. In that order. Respectively. Yes. {{User:Jordan Salafack/sig}} 04:51, 2 April 2008 (BST)

I got annoyed, clicked it again, held it down for second or so, then hit stop on my browser, and hit the DNA extractor again. The previous zombie appeared to have been revived, because there was another strange smelling body in the space. The page that came up was very stretched, and was a DNA scan of a second zombie in the stack, with a "Revivify this specimen" under it, and I still had the syringe in my inventory. I was surprised, so I repeated the process to see if it was just a random glitch, but it worked again. I still had the syringe, though I was running out of AP like normal. I've still got that syringe.

::Jose, I would guess that you must have hit 50AP and "reset" your timer again so that it's not at X:16 and X:46 any longer, but rather at some other time. Instead of counting it that way, I'd suggest waiting about 1.5 hours and seeing if you get 2-3AP. If you do, then all is probably fine. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 21:03, 2 August 2010 (BST)
 
:Axe, that's incorrect. The AP [[tick]]s happen at whatever time you last went from 50 to 49 AP. So, if I was at 50AP at 1:15 and use an AP then, I'll get my next one 30 minutes later at 1:45. There are even userscripts out there (not by me), that exploit this fact to tell you down to the minute when your AP will regenerate. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 21:03, 2 August 2010 (BST)
This gives me the strange feeling like I've seen it before elsewhere in other games. Is it possible that destroying the syringe is last in the script instead of being done at the sameish time as the revive, like they are set as seperate actions? Because it looks to me like he stopped the script from fully executing(I've seen very similar things in other php/cgi games and it's usually because of that that something like this works).--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 13:00, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

In a dark building (unlit bank), my zombie was the only character. I was ransacking, and I saw a "Smash Decorations" button. That was odd, because in the dark building, I couldn't SEE the decorations (not in the room description). After smashing a few, the "Smash Decorations" button went away. Screenshot: http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/4338/smashwhatyoucantsee.gif . This could be fixed by (a) allowing characters in dark rooms to see decorations, or (b) not allowing characters in dark rooms to see or smash decorations. Also, it might be funny to lower the percentage chance of smashing (from 100%)?

Hmmm. I don't think this is ''reeeeeeally'' a bug, it's just a fine nuance in the game you think isn't consistent and should be changed. I'd suggest, if you really want this changed, to be taken to [[Suggestions]]. -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 02:05, 27 July 2010 (BST)
So if it's IE's fault, then I guess I can understand it. However, not using IE is simply not an option for many people. A lot fo players access stuff from school or library computers (like me), which have IE installed, no admin rights for the user, which means we're stuck using IE whether we want to or not. Now if you can give tips on IE users being able to handle the flaws, that's something we can work with, but otherwise, we're just stuck experiencing whatever bugs we encounter.  At least this one is just an alignment issue and nothing major...this time.--[[User:Kolechovski|Kolechovski]] 19:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Those last two images are caused by the browser loading the page but not the CSS. I get that in Firefox when someone on the LAN is using bandwidth-intensive applications (P2P, for instance).

Now that you mention it, although I occasionally get any of these (often a refresh will fix it), a good number of these seem to occur during sieges in-game, and I notice a good bit of server lag.  If that's the cause, which is a good chance, I guess not much can be done.  The really annoying thing is when you refresh the page, it often tries to repeat the action, wasting AP and IP hits, but I doubt anything can be done about that either.--[[User:Kolechovski|Kolechovski]] 19:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

|bug_desc=I’ve had a couple alts countering zombie sieges lately while they were going down.  At these times, I’ve noticed odd events with the cades.  I’ve seen stuff like:
|bug_desc= I log into [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=841901 one of my characters], and it takes me to the map.cgi screen for that character, right? Good. Except as soon as I perform an action, I'm logged into [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1149643 my character] in Monroeville. This happens for all of my other characters, too.
 
• A zombie brought down the last of the barricades. (yesterday)
• A zombie brought down the last of the barricades. (yesterday)
 
And…
 
• A zombie brought down the last of the barricades. (8 hours and 45 minutes ago)
• A zombie brought down the last of the barricades. (8 hours and 45 minutes ago)
• A zombie brought down the last of the barricades. (8 hours and 45 minutes ago)
• A zombie brought down the last of the barricades. (8 hours and 44 minutes ago)
 
I’ve seen ones like…A zombie brought down the last of the barricades…and again…and again.
 
In addition, I’ve seen a couple people start cades without a zombie tearing down the loose cade in between. And while I had an alt shoving pipes in the doors at a PD where MOBsters were knocking, one of the times, after I tried to block the doors with a pipe, someone else beat me to starting cades, but one of my pipes still disappeared a short bit after.
 
These cade oddities happened with several different alts, and they were often seen while battling it out. Ideas on what’s happening? Oh, and speaking of oddities, is it just me, or does the server really seem to take forever to load sometimes?  Is it due to the huge traffic during siege battles?

Did you log ''out'' of your character (the one it's logging you in as against your will) last time? If not, then you could still be logged into them and need to log out of them first before it'll properly understand that you're trying to log into a different one. Basically, always log out first. Assuming you do that though, then the issue might be browser caching or session management. Either way, this is a known quirk of the game and has been around for quite some time. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 04:43, 5 July 2010 (BST)

bug_desc=This just happened to my (relatively) new character. I was bitten mere moments before entering a hospital and asked for healing while searching for a FAK of my own. My HP jumped up suddenly without any notice, so thinking this was another "simultaneous action bug" (search & heal) I asked for some curing. [http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bug1hv2.jpg Proof here] [http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bug2xz4.jpg and here]<BR>
I decided to search again and the "you've been healed by USER" message popped up. [http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bug3xb6.jpg Proof here]<BR>
But I didn't recover any HP. [http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bug4be4.jpg Proof here]<BR>
So I continued to search some more to see if someone else could cure me, as I was still infected. [http://img72.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bug5ka2.jpg Proof here]<BR>
Thinking twice about it, I just decided to patch myself up. [http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bug6xc3.jpg Proof here]<BR>

I have this same problem once in a while. Here's what you do to fix it... close your browser window, open a new one, and re-log in with the character you're going to use. This works about 60-70% of the time for me. The other 30-40%, delete your cookies, close the browser, open a new window, and then re-log on. It should work. If it doesn't, let me know via my talk page please. I'd be interested in seeing how this works out. -{{User:Poodle_of_doom/signiture}} 03:21, 29 June 2010 (BST)

:There's actually a much more easier 100% foolproof way to fix this, and that is to log out your character.

I've confirmed the same from another example, but no screeny yet.
I am receiving this problem as well: Specifically, between almost exactly 7:15 and 8:15 P.M. (CT) June 11th, I gained one AP on my character (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=2217882). 15 minutes later, I still hadn't received any more AP, so I went to sleep. As of now, It's happened only one other time (at this very moment, in fact, it's been about 40 minutes since I last had AP and I still haven't gained any). [[User:Wrpen]] 06:39, June 12th, 2015 (CT).
 
:Could you be trying to refresh the last page (instead of just logging in fresh), causing it to attempt to perform an action (like barricading, attacking, searching) and using the APs without you noticing that they recharged (and were spent)? <small>-- [[User:Boxy|boxy]] 08:59, 13 June 2015 (BST)</small>
Not actually true, it's working how it should. Dead bodies are counted as survivors which means they don't have the status effect ''dead''.--<small>[[User:Karek|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 21:36, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
::As it turns out, that was exactly the problem. It still seems like a bug, though, that there isn't any way to see what's going on without spending AP or constantly logging out and logging back in. [[User:Wrpen]] 07:08, June 13th, 2015 (CT).
Actually, that's in the profile, where they only become "zombie" once they stand up. However, when PKed or mauled to death by a zed, you get the status effect "dead" after your name, before you even stand up, so when infected and dying, you should become "dead" as soon as the last HP vanishes.--[[User:Kolechovski|Kolechovski]] 16:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

From time to time (once or twice a week) I will log in as the survivor and go to take my first action(or check my profile or contacts list) and when the screen refreshes I am suddenly my alt character(zombie). this does not happen in the opposite direction.

If i use all of my alts action points, and log out then try to access my survivor, I will get the first screen saying where i am how many action points i have, and that i am the right character, but when i try to move when the screen refreshes I get a grey background instead of the city and teh message ''You cannot think anymore''.
 
I can then log out of my zombie character, and log in to my survivor, I will be in the same place without having used any action points, but still unable to play why i try to move or after refreshing the screen for ay reason.

Now, this is either a bug with the system, either by sending it in the first place or sending so many from one request or alternately someone's been requesting my password 93 times in an attempt to try and get into my character through stupidity. Who do we know on that IP address?

After fresh, unbroken snow surrounds you, there should be a space after that period.  Also, the comma after the collapsed wall text doesn't seem needed.

In the thick snow text, there should be a comma after south.  I notice a number of things in this game seem to lack commas in a list of 3 or more, and they should have them.  Also, after fir tree, there shouldn't be a comma.

OK, I'll try to remember just to get the URLs.  Anyhow, are you sure none of these are bugs?  Well, they're not bugs in game-terms, but still, they're grammar issues, and there's no other place to report these.  BTW, I have more to report, so here they come...

There shouldn’t be a comma after “evacuated”.

After “You study,” there should be a comma.

There should be a comma after Fort Creedy, as that is a list of 3 items or more.
 
http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=03ui6.png
 
After “revivication points”, there should be a comma.  Also, in that picture, you can clearly see a couple types of locations that were forgotten for the snow change.  Streets and parks have a visible change that shows that snow on them.  Monuments and carparks are also open areas that would be under the snow and appear white, but as you can see from the map, they still appear gray.  I’m sure this was just oversight, but since the snow should continue for a while, and it’s just a color fix, could you modify those to white like the others?

Tuning portable radios still costs 2 AP, while tuning a radio transmitter only costs 1.  I thought that there was something in peer reviewed (though I’m offline while typing this, so I can’t look) about changing that to 1 AP.  Until that happens, could you do something about this?  This is what happens when trying to retune the radio with 1 AP left.  If you click the “Tune” button, you’re not allowed to finish tuning and have essentially wasted that last AP.  At the least, the retuning should be allowed to finish, putting you at –1 AP, as most actions that require multiple AP to complete do so, rather than sticking you with nothing and wasting the AP you tried to spend.

After “collapsed wall”, there shouldn’t be a comma.
 
http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=06uj2.png
 
There shouldn’t be a comma after “ruined building”.
 
I guess that's all for now.--[[User:Kolechovski|Kolechovski]] 23:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 
"Organized" in the military reports is wrongfully spelled as "organised".--[[User:Kolechovski|Kolechovski]] 01:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 
More...in the FAQs…
 
Am I allowed to play multiple characters?
You are, provided that they lead completely separate existences within the game - your characters should not collaborate, nor share (or stand outside) the same building. Multiple characters found to be working together in a suspicious fashion will be automatically flagged, penalised or even banned permanently by the system. If you're running a few characters, it's best to make sure that they stay in separate suburbs.
 
-Penalized is spelled wrong, and there should be a comma after it.
 
Is there any merchandise?
There's an official Urban Dead Mall at Cafepress where you can buy T-shirts, mugs and badges, if you really want to. It's all base-price, we don't make any money from them.
 
-There should be a semicolon, instead of a comma, after base-price.
 
Can I modify my profile or password?
 
-You should note that the modification of password isn’t available anymore, due to being “down for maintenance”, even though I have no idea why maintenance would be taking so long.
 
Why am I being told that I have "accessed this server too many times today"?
(This limit is now being waived for players who have donated to support the game; anyone donating more than $5 may nominate one character to have unresticted access, per $5.)
 
-You should say anyone donating $5 may nominate one character, as with the per $5, because those 2 sound contradictory as is.  Also, “unrestricted” is spelled wrong.
 
-In addition to these, I recommend adding a header on Infection, as many new people don’t seem to know what to do about it when it happens.  I also recommend adding under “How do I talk to other people” a paragraph about radios, including which frequencies can be broadcast from or listened to, including the frequency often used by newbies.  Also, it seems a common question is about encumbrance, so I recommend adding a section addressing what it means and how it works, as newbie survivors often ask about that.
 
-Another grammar error is in the military broadcasts, when talking about organized groups of zeds…”organized” is spelled wrong.
 
In this screenshot, there shouldn’t be a comma after impassable.
 
http://img266.imageshack.us/my.php?image=00tc7.png
 
Also, in these next 3 pics, the right quotes should be placed at the end, not below the text.  There may be other poems affected by this, but I haven’t found them yet, so maybe a quick glance through your poetry database can find and fix all that suffer this.

Had you stood up before buying the skill? As far as I remember, when you're lying down, the skills available are based on what you were before lying down - so if you were killed, you can still buy survivor skills before you stand up as a zombie, and if revived, you can buy zombie skills before standing up as a survivor. I think. Don't quote me on it. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 15:17, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

bug_status=new|
bug_severity=unassigned|
bug_desc=Bercause I am using a different stash of computers while upgrades are under way around here, I am on less-than-fully-functional machines.  Unfortunately, these computers don't seem to be able to handle forums nicely, and they often fail to load, and I get zillions of Page Not Displayed errors or just a blank background.  Since I have lost contact with group members due to this, I thought of reestablishing it through the help of Mobile Phones.  A couple contacts from one of my alts have Mobile Phones (or at least they appeared to from the contact list).  The problem is that alt doesn't have a Mobile Phone.  But another one does. So, I tried to add the contacts to my other alt who has a Phone, so he could call up the contact and work something out.  Unfortunately, for some reason, any of these Phone-holding contacts no longer appear to have a Mobile Phone from my alt's contact list, and I am unable to call any of them.  And in the insanely unlikely event that all phone-holding contacts were online and dropped their phones while I was switching, I logged back in with my original alt.  According to his contact list, the contacts still have Mobile Phones.  And when I look at my alt's contact list, any contacts that were already on that had Mobile Phones still appear to, and I can contact them just fine, so it only seems to affect the new contacts added. I don't wish to give away account names unless absolutely required, but here's a screenshot of the problem.  The person displayed as Sofia is supposed to have a Mobile Phone.

bug_desc=Unfortunately, since I’m not a wiki guru, and the page I’m using is an offline page stored rather than a URL link, I may not be able to reproduce this completely. Basically, I’ll just use pictures to get my point across.  Since some people apparently don’t have a problem with this, it’s moved from a suggestion to a bug report.  Basically, the digitized text for tuning the radio frequency, as well as the text when typing a radio or mobile phone message, is illegible.  It’s annoying to have to copy and paste everything into Notepad just to fix a spelling mistake, because you can’t see the letters as they appear and can’t fix it right in the message box.  And if you’re retuning the radio, and you get a digit in the wrong place or whatever, you don’t find out until you’ve wasted an AP tuning to the wrong frequency.  The digitized text RECEIVING phone messages is okay though, it’s just the stuff you put into the rectangular box that’s problematic.  Although the digitized format is obviously a flavor thing, the size of the text and its bolded appearance make it impossible to read inside the boxes.  This also makes it terrible picking a mobile phone contact.  Here are some pictures of the problem.  I’m stuck using Internet Exploiter, as are many who play on school/library/college computers, if that makes a difference.  Many others have seen this as well, while some don’t seem to experience it.

Comment(02/11/08):  I picked up this skill on my character a couple of weeks ago and now after the first hit that triggers tangling grasp, all my other hit chances get reduced significantly.  It's like instead of adding 10% to my chance to hit, it is instead setting my chance to hit equal to 10%.  I've been on everyday for the past two weeks with this character and used every single action point on this.  Doesn't matter what time of day, if I wait between hits, if I change targets, if I move to another suburb, etc.  Always hit/entangle and then miss from that point on.  I've gone through hundreds of APs on this and I'm not earning any XP because of it.  The character is basically unplayable now.  8(  {{unsigned|Wren| at 21:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)}}
 
For me, Tangling Grasp often does not work.  I will grab hold of a character, but then I will not crush down on their shoulders, nor do I loose the grasp.  Every time I hit it will say that I grabbed onto their shirt/chain/whatever, as if it was the first time I was hitting. [[User:AnonBorgTech001|AnonBorgTech001]] 22:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 
Also posted as comment under 49 misses in a row: Ever since I bought tangling grasp, the first or second hit will succeed, informing me that I've caught some article of clothing. Every subsequent attack misses. I'm never informed that I've lost my grip. I'm currently letting my AP recharge. Once I get to 50, I'm going to see how many misses I get in a row. --[[User:AusIV|AusIV]] 16:27, 30 April 2008 (BST)

===Radio receiver receiving more than one frequency===

I got four radio receivers in my character's inventory. They are tuned to receive frequencies (26.70 MHz) (27.52 MHz) (27.52 MHz) and (27.52 MHz). Yeah, I know, I only tuned one of them properly.  Anyway, I logged in and there were messages from two different frequencies... (26.70 MHz) and (26.80 MHz). Only I had no radios tuned to receive (26.80 MHZ)... Like this:
*'' 26.80 MHz: "we call 'em 'buckwheats' back in Denver" (7 minutes ago)''
*'' 26.70 MHz: "Byyyaaaaaahhh!!!" (1 minute ago)''
I'll try to upload a screenshot if I figure out how.

===Retuned Radio changes received broadcasts===

bug_author=[[User:Turner Calton|Turner Calton]]|
bug_status=new|
bug_severity=unassigned|
bug_desc=OK, here's something. I heard something on a Radio Transmitter. I responded to something on said Transmitter. There were replies on the Transmitter. Then, I retuned the Transmitter to the External Military channel. So far so good, right?
However, other people in the building are now very confused by what went on, as they've logged in afterwards, and they have seen none of the exchange, only military reports.
 
So, it looks like the server stores the fact that there was a broadcast, and then when a character logs in, fills in the broadcast with something from whatever channel the radio is tuned to, rather then what was actually said. Interestingly, my broadcasts can't be seen by others in the room either, as the Radio is currently on the Military frequency, and you can't broadcast on the Military channel...
 
I can provide the broadcasts I received and the broadcasts that another person actually saw on request, but I'd rather do that privately for privacy purposes.|

I do seem to have 50% hit rate on that character when that's happening, and haven't seen the severe form of the bug where it destroys your hit rate.
|bug_desc=I didn't notice this till a few minutes after, so I failed to get a "before" screenshot, but...


What happened today: I noticed while attacking a survivor that my tangling grasp was working for a change. Yay!  Then something odd happened. I lost my grip, and on the next AP attacking, I got the message saying the survivor writhed in my grip.  I continued attacking and it was as if I hadn't lost my grip at all. My hit rate was good, and since I wasn't losing my grip even when I should, I was hitting more than I ought to have been able.

Latest revision as of 17:15, 18 October 2024

Please put new bug reports in this section, as something you perceive as a bug could be a problem with your browser, cache settings, cookie settings, etc. (This applies especially to login problem. If you are having login problems, try cleaning your cache, resetting cookies, etc. before filing the bug here.)

Bug reports should contain as much specific information as possible:-

  • Datestamp your reports. Reports of old bugs reappearing will likely be ignored as outdated reports of the old bug, if you don't give a timestamp.
  • If it's a bug that affects your character, you should specify your character's name.
  • If it's a bug that affects a building, specify as much information about it as you're happy to give without betraying any safehouse locations.
  • If it sounds like a display issue, specify the browser you're using, and any Firefox extensions you may have installed.
  • Use this template:
===Name which best describes bug in under ten words===

Once bugs are confirmed by Kevan or enough others, move them to Known Bugs.

If Kevan fixes a bug, move it to Fixed Bugs.

  • Note: Please only add new bugs into the last section. Bugs within the sections are ordered from latest (at the top) to oldest (at the bottom) so that newer bugs are easier spotted by simply clicking the section headers, which can be very useful if you're trying to gather input from others on it, and it gets confirmed as an actual bug that way. Due to this, please try and keep that chronological order, and help maintain the chronological order if you see any out of line. Also, please at least try to skim the page to see if the bug has been reported before.
  • Note: Until the guide on commonly misinterpreted-as-bugs-features and browser quirks is written up, the old Misunderstandings and Features and Browser Issues sections can be found on Non-Bugs page. Also, bugs whose original report lacked a datestamp have been moved to this page. Grammatical errors in-game may be reported on page called Grammatical Errors in Urban Dead.

Archived reports can be found here, here and here. Last archived: 12:16, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Transmitter broadcasts do not retain tuning

Timestamp: 20:16, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Originally
reported by:		 Bob Moncrief EBD•W!
Current Status: new
Severity: unassigned
Description: If a transmitter is set to a certain frequency in a building, then is changed, others who log in in the building see it as though it was set to the new frequency since their last action, not since the transmitter was retuned. This includes material broadcast from that building.

For example, I broadcast material on 27.55 in a building then changed the transmitter to 26.43. When Ororo Monroe logged in a minute later, she did not see my broadcast, but instead saw a nine-hour-old message on 26.43, when the transmitter was not set to that: dumwit. (She's not carrying a 26.43 radio.) She then broadcast on 26.43, retuned it back to 27.55, and when I logged in, I did not see the broadcast: dumwit.

Not a critical bug, but it means it's possible to e.g. go into a building, change the tune, broadcast, and change it back with other denizens of the building none the wiser.

Some bugs are reported in a manner that causes questions to crop up - responses in the form of 'Can you tell me more about X in that particular situation?'. This section is thus for bugs that have been acknowledged and are pending discussion, but still lack a bit of information to properly understand, or to properly identify as a bug (or not).

Ruined Fort freerunning issues

Description: Normally, moving from the gatehouse to any building within the fort, with or without freerunning, will deposit the character outside said building. However, attempting to move to a ruined one will give the normal message for attempting to free ruin into a ruined building i.e. "you are forced to street level" or "you lose your footing" complete with health loss in the second case. Additionally, attempting to free run into the ruined armory will give one of the two messages as well as the normal message stating the impossibility of free running into the armory. [1]

Comments here A recently-cut fir tree has been propped up in a crude stand.

I can confirm. [2]. I believe trees and other holiday decorative items have different rules than typical decorative items. They are more like generators and radio transmitters. Since you can interact with them, they are always visible, even in the dark. I don't believe this is a bug, but the wiki page for darkness should be updated. ~Vsig.png 18:32, 15 March 2011

Agreed, take it to a place where zergs are dealt with. It's possible, though unlikely, that this is merely a case of different players who intentionally used similar names (e.g. Pathetic Bill, Silly Lilly Pilly, etc.), though the folks at Resens or elsewhere would be better suited to say. If they actually are zergs, then there are already measures in the game to catch them, and if the measures aren't working, it's not a bug, so much as the zergs finding a way to circumvent the system. —Aichon— 21:44, 6 April 2010 (BST)

How do I report game abuse or zerging?
You don't.

Obviously since he is a zerger...and it was confirmed that his 5 clones at that same point were running around there the little flags in the game failed. He also has 13 of the same zerger names. From the FAQ: How do I report game abuse or zerging?

There's no need to email reports in - if there's some exceptional bug-based game abuse going on, you can file it as a bug report on the Wiki for attention.

Another roving zombie tried to eat a corpse. And again. And again. And again. And once more.
They gained 3 HP each time instead of 4. They are wearing a tattered surgical mask which means their teeth still show. Is this a bug, a mask issue, or an update?

Discussion
Personally, i think that is a mistake in Wiki. I see no reason, that good bite of warm meat and sip of salty blood would help you less, than cold rotting carrion. Perosnally, i'd even make HP income frmo corpse less than incom from biting the survivior. I guess if Kevan would care, he can clarify his point of few. I re-read wiki after your msg, and there realyl is claimed 4HP for corpse, i admit. But before it i never expected >3HP on this skill. BTW, is there (or was someday) soem skillset, so Z would bite for 4HP ? Perhaps someday bite corpse was calibrated to be equal to max-power bite on enemy, and later bite was made less dangerous, and corpse were forgotten to afjust accordingly ? Shambler for Shambala 19:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

The problem is not in the Wiki. I encountered the digestion only healing 3 HP yesterday and actually thought it was the correct number and Wiki was wrong. It was a regular zombie in Molton, no masks or anything else funny. However, using Digestion today on the same character it is consistently healing 4 HP per bite. So definitely there is something strange in the code. Kay VanRaven 12:55, 8 May 2013 (UTC)


Infected without Being Bitten/Attacked at All

Severity: Pretty nasty
Description: My character was in an unlit NT building with as many as 5 active zombies. They were not bitten yet became infected. If this was lag, notice of an infection, or successful bite attack, did not appear for the rest of my AP barricading.

Here is the moment just before I became "infected", the following AP, and the next message I received that I was attacked at all. This is not a 0-second bug as no message even popped up (0 seconds ago) indicating I was attacked at all. I left a message in game for the zombies to try and post evidence they succesfully attacked me here.

Discussion
I see your HP dropped by 5 between iWitnesses; accounting for the 1 HP from infection, that means you took 4 damage, which the samage a bite does. Sometimes messages can be lost when lots of people are active (ask me about the time I survived ~90 HP damage in one night with no apparent healing), so I'm inclined to chalk it down to that.

Without further knowledge I wouldn't say it's a 0-second bug, but they may be related. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 05:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


I can confirm this as an actual bug. I just infected someone without hitting to cause any damage. As in I went to bit, missed, but they still got infected. See before as I stood up and after when I attacked. I missed but the colour changed to suggest they are infected.

It might be of note that I had just risen from the dead after dying from an infection, and I had attacked once with my fire axe before. I have also just noticed that I still had the option to 'fix' the generator when I stood up as a zed? --ORakoon 22:40, 15 June 2010 (BST)

I believe yours is a case of lag. Much like when zombies rise in malls, they can only see their current corner until they make an action, and in this case the infection (something you can only see as a zombie) wasn't viewable until it registered you.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:53, 15 June 2010 (BST)
I have to agree. The fact that it didn't show up until the "after" shot, which is also when you can no longer fix the generator, indicates that it's probably an issue with identifying your state of living or death and providing you with the correct options. —Aichon— 03:01, 16 June 2010 (BST)

Description: My character, Ragriav, is a zombie and one time I revived and had -1 AP after reviving. Now, for today, I have been trying to act by moving about whenever 1 AP appeared. However, the AP seems to be recharging slower than 30 minutes, since after checking back after an hour and a half I had just recovered one AP. What is even more disturbing is the fact that every time I took an action it dropped me back down to -1 AP! I do not understand how this can happen if one is supposed to lose 1 AP point, and not two. The problem with the slowly recharging AP also needs looking into. I urgently request help on the issue at hand. Thank you for your time and patience.

not that you think i did something) - that depends how refresh made in the browser. Paste URL into address bar and Opera would open last version from cache, and Mozilla would refetch new page from server, not remember MSIE way. Press refresh button/gesture and browser most probably woud repeat last action, even if it has no more sense like second syringe into the same z. Carefully track what actions you do and what AP-cost they have. As of now it seems DDRJake is right and you just try actions that cost several AP. For example revivification, beeing single action takes 10AP and you can fall to -9AP easily. Shambler for Shambala 19:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

The math just doesn't add up. Even if the zed had 40 starting HP, i would have 29 XP, but i should have 39 xp. I'm not expecting a mulligan, it's just very frustrating. I'll get the 14 XP im missing down the road.

Screenshots/iwitness or some more detail would be nice. Could you describe the sequence of events specifically? From what it sounds like, you were doing searches, found a flaregun, found some items afterwards, and then you moved somewhere else and entered the URL manually. At that point, it seemingly teleported you back to the location where you had found the items, and you started finding them again in the same order. Is that correct? Honestly, it sounds more like a browser cache issue than a bug with the game, I have to say, especially since the description was rather sparse. Now, if you suddenly have 2x of each of those items, then we might have something to discuss, but you gave no indication of that. —Aichon— 03:11, 29 June 2010 (BST)

I don't have iwitness and screenshots take forever on my computer.

Severity: unassigned
Description: From the bug date listed above till currently, there have been no further broadcasts of suburb status reports from the External Military forces on frequency 25.96MHz and without official word from on high about this particular game function shutting down I reckon it belongs here. The only further transmission of note was a *crash* *static* *silence* message heard on a handheld radio on 3 October 2024, first time I can recall such a blurb showing up on that channel and could very well mean it's kaputt. My limited understanding is the EMR was a system separated from the city itself but if there is a building out there we need to power I'd love to hear about it.

Discussion
It's happened before. Twice. Most likely just a period of time where nothing is really changing much in-game. With the dwindling number of players, we'll probably be seeing this channel remain silent for longer and longer periods of time since there's probably not enough activity going on that's causing any significant changes throughout each individual suburb. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 04:50, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

The second link you kindly shared falls within this same window I am reporting on now so I'll ignore that one as it's doubling up. The first one covers a span of two days, not a year plus of silence over 25.96 that we've been experiencing. I am relieved to hear that the breaking of a transmitter on that freq isn't a one off occurrence and has happened in the past. Hopefully you are on the money and this is due to a lack of change/activity in-game and not a sign of mechanics continuing to fall off from a lack of attention. Clayton Carmine (talk)

'Colour'-tagging occasionally spontaneously changes for multiple Contact List entries

Timestamp: Sometime before 8/Jul/2023, and on various prior occasions
Originally
reported by:		 Longtimenewbie
Current Status: new
Severity: unassigned
Description: Partial 'corruption' (possible shifting/redistribution) of game-interface hues as assigned to/stored for known Contacts

Discussion
Long form 'description' of the issue:
I use the Contact List to helpfully manage my interactions. e.g. Rotters have a hue to save me time investigating 'known names' in RP queues, with other cues to identify various types of friendlies, PKers, etc, including one to distinguish Rotters (thus unrevivable) yet can be Life-allied/Dual Role and deserving of health assistance whilst not a zombie. A common enough system, I hope. I won't detail what colours are what, that doesn't matter. Usually the only problem is when I've hit the 150-limit (often) and I need to find someone to remove (inactive, or not been notable) to squeeze in another I'd like to 'remember'.
Some names I also know by sight, though. So it was obviously wrong to me when I had someone that I know to be full-on life-affirming 'good human' Survivor, and noted as building back up the 'cades in my present locale, appear in the activity log under a Rotter's version of the markup.
Trawling the List, I now found multiple rotters not so marked. Admittedly, there's the option of gaining Rotter status after a good deed was noted by myself, but it was a large number of them (some with long-term notoriety) and roughly balanced against those with the opposite issue (you cannot even revoke Rotterdom, or any other 'skill', even if I wasn't sure some were pure Life-Allied players). Other recognised contacts were misclassified in less skill-obvious ways (e.g. non-rotter infamous Zeds, that I regularly have a run in with, looking like Survivor types; and vice-versa), but only obvious through familiarity.
The pattern seemed to be mostly in the bottom fraction of the (alphabetical) Contact List, though a clear switch also happened up in the Ds (whilst unchanged/seemingly accurate tagging still peppered the whole list).
This is not the first time it has happened, along these lines. Probably last time was several years back, once or twice before then. On none of these occasions have I had active UD Browser Plugins (I have used them prior to 2011, so I'm aware of their 'management' capabilities), the browsers themselves have probably varied (between FF, IE, Chrome, maybe until a year or two ago that minimalist tablet-based browser that stopped working due to certificates (not) updating for https access...), as have the character accounts in use. No reason to believe I 'misclicked' anything when perusing/managing the List (or certainly not so many of them!), nor that a third-party has hijacked whichever character account it was (each time) and just subtly 'vandalised' it. If you'll take my considered opinion, it seems more a dumb 'corruption' in the server, or server-browser link, than anything purely browser or PEBCAK in nature. Though I'm surprised that I have found no-one else mentioning this, after trying to find such a comment.
I am half-inclined to believe that on adding (and, where necessary, removing) contacts, the "Name1=>Col1, Name2=>Col2 ... Name149=>Col149" was somehow disjointed (Nam149=>Col150, and back) on submitting legitimate and intentional changes. The 'shift' of Red onto a Green, that Green onto a Purple, its Purple onto a Black (where I can be certain what the originals are in cases of sequential mis-tagging) is obvious, but it's hard to rationalise by the spottiness of some of the changes. Nor with the HTML POST method of conveying them to the server that should not allow 'misalignments' except if the server does silly things with key/value pairs behind the scenes. Theoretically a similar shift-transference during non-alphabetical ordering (sorted by Level/XP, as I sometimes review the list, or loginId sorting internal to server?) and/or multiple disjointed updates could also be the issue, but still does not feel like the right answer. The difficulty is that the instant(s) of change may be from a few days or even a week before I actually noted any discrepancy, on each infrequent occasion I discovered it as happened, with other new updates to the list (with or without unintended misflaggings) happening between then and now. All I know is that I went digging further into the matter once I noticed the problem (and corrected/rationalised as it seemed fit to do, but without any actual offline list to cross-compare rigorously against). But I'm currently a bit more prepared to keep an eye out for any more imminent 'list corruptions', should it hiccup like this once(+) more shortly... And I hope all this anticipates many of the initial questions you might have. (Except for "why did you write so much?"...) Especially as there's no reason to believe that it's an easily replicatable bug/whatever-it-is. On past occasions, I aggressively temporarily Deleted Contacts and added random others to try to provoke mismatches (on the assumption that such 'shuffling' is most likely the cause), but it has never actually happened during such controlled testing.Longtimenewbie (talk) 14:48, 9 July 2023 (UTC)


Broken/misbehaving Contact List addition function

reported by:		 Soupspoon (talk)
Current Status: new
Severity: unassigned
Description: A more chatty description (and pre-existing screenshot to illustrate) exists at this page, but I thought I'd make it official in leiu of any obvious report.

I hypothesise it's related to the recent server-migration, as it was not an issue a week or so ago but has been one definitely since last weekend. It happens (for me) on different browsers, and now confirmed different ISPs (though geolocatably similar subsets of the non-RFC 1918 ranges, I suppose) so very surprised it has not been reported by others already. To try to replicate, I offer the following generic instructions:

  • From a properly logged-in state, go to any valid profile page. I'll use https://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=2000000 for this run-through, but quote just "NAME" for simplicity, as required.
  • The 'button' at the page-end for "Add NAME to your Contacts List" will send you to https://www.urbandead.com/contacts.cgi?add=2000000
  • Normally/previously (so long as you aren't hitting the 150-contact limit!) one would get a "Added to contacts." header to the newly updated list with NAME now present. If you still do, it either is fixed, or never was broken for you.
  • Current behaviour, however is to get a "Confirm that you want to add NAME to your contact list." header with a 'button'-link of "Add NAME".
    • I have never even seen this before this week, but I accept that it's something useful if clicked in from unknown cross-site source pages with the add-link (the quoted HTTP GET query URI format, or otherwise?)
  • The destination for the confirming Add link is https://www.urbandead.com/contacts.cgi?add=2000000&confirmed=1
  • But that page is identical to the one you just left except for the revised address bar for the browser itself.
  • Changing the URI to https://www.urbandead.com/contacts.cgi?add=2000000&confirm=1 and resubmitting sometimes gives the "Added to contacts." result. In fact, it happened first time for this run-through.
    • I discovered this only from a (seemingly) inspired guess. For all I know, the query-parser at the CGI backend is actually ambivalent as to the exact fieldname tense and it is only coincidence that the original link always failed in the recent days of awkwardness.
  • However, it still does not always work. It frequently also gives the same "Confirm..." header as you just left (for "confirmed=") and this does not seem to be due to cached page-contents/responses (where shift-F5 is possible, or other forced-resubmit option is used).
    • Immediately prior to starting this BugRep, I had persistently failed to Add a new (actually useful) contact even with "confirm=", which led to the BugRep you now see.
    • Having succeeded with "add=2000000", I (re)refreshed that still-tabbed page and it worked!.
    • I then tried a further (fresh, new randomly selected) profile from scratch and it failed at "add=", "add=&confirmed=" and "add=&confirm=" stages. Go figure.

...so, for your consideration. At least until the weirdness just goes away, if it's a heisenbug of some kind.

Discussion
Fuck me that's a lot of text. Just reenter the link of the page after clicking add. On a phone refresh doesn't work but if you click on the address line and then click "go" it works. I assume a pc is similar. --K 22:30, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

If 'just re-enter the link' worked, I'd never have (eventually, after a week of sileny tusselling with the problem) made this BugRep. Sorry for the huge amount of text, but I wanted to be sure that everyone (especially those not experiencing the issue - as I presume is your case) understood what on earth I was talking about.
But you have made me think. If "confirmed=1" is broken (whyeverso it is suddenly happening to me) but "confirm=1" is actually being ignored (not related to an introduced typo in the php script or anything) then just as "confirm=" sometimes does not give a "Confirm that..." response, maybe indeed the add-only address would (sometimes) work and I'll have to also try that kludge a few times, at the next opportunity, to see if that is just as efficaceous.
Still worth noting that:
a) For some reason, the Profile-page "Add" has stopped giving me confirm-free additions to the Contacts List
b) I have yet to identify why Contacts-page "(Confirm) Add" sometimes works and sometimes does not, and never with the presumably correct (by intention, at least) "confirmed=1" query-label and value pair.
So, still a bug. At the very least a change in behaviour. My current main character joined a decade ago, and was not even my first presence here, yet with no other recent changes at my end it is only in the shadow of a server move (which seemingly has 'killed' another old character whose long-forgotten password is irretrievably unavailable except in a much older instance of browser that doesn't seem to play well any more with some https-certification changes that were brought in, I'm guessing - but I'm not bugrepping that, c'est la vie(/mort)) that this problem has arisen. I don't take this place for granted. I was actually surprised it was still going in 2011 when I rejoined after several years away. If Kevan is still actively maintaining (c.f. RNG issues, recently) then I applaud that and I only report this in case it helps squish some error that others might be experiencing.
That's all. Unless you need me to quote versions of browser (Chrome, Firefox) and OS (Windows, Android) and ISP gateways (both UK-based) that I troubleshot by trying various combinations thereof and then firmly decided (in my mind, at least) could not be attributed as the point of failure (or even a complicating factor). And apologies for even more 'lot of text', but apparently my first attempt did not explain as much as I thought. Soupspoon (talk) 23:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Latest Further tests done in the cool light of the morning:
  • Profile-page Add always arrives at Contacts-page with "Confirm" text and onward link (this may not be a technical error, but is certainly new behaviour and I don't think it's intended).
  • Contact-page (confirming) Add always gets the Contacts/Confirm (clearly not working properly, the "confirmed=1" does not convey any actual confirmation).
  • Yes: removing the "confirmed=1", or spoiling the key-value pair in any way, "confirm=" or "=2", or just null-editing but resubmitting the address in the address-bar (but not refreshing the page, straight) gives the hoped for Contacts/Added (this is not an error, and may have always been valid as an option, but is an unconventional requirement for onward functionality when the on-page link should work).
My semi-informed Wild-Assed-Guess is now that the contacts.php has been using referer() or similar (I'm more familiar with .pl CGI than .php, and it might even be referrer()!) to identify off-site linking and filter arrival from non-UD sources to prevent unwanted auto-add-contact behaviour. (e.g. by tricking a fake 'image' load on any visits to a User:Talk page, or other examples that might be so mischeviously 'useful'.)
A typed-in-address-bar Add URL request (or anything similarly refererless/whatever) has always had an automatic free pass, by having a null referer and thus not so simply spoofed.
Access from Profile page or Contacts (with or without the "confirmed"?) should be detected as same-site referer, and was. It now is not. For me.
Checks for what HTTP contact info my browser is actually sending places do not reveal any obvious shenanigans that are my problem (e.g. badly hidden redirection malware), so I'm quite surprised it is not a global problem. Or very surprised if I am the only sufferer.
I now know how to get round it. Maybe... Except for this morning's suite of multiple tests, I also have had failures with address-bar resubmits, as well! Time will tell... Soupspoon (talk) 09:34, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
Just to let you know that you're not the only one. I and others in my group have seen that too (could just be that most old timers who read the wiki aren't adding many new people). The changing of "confirmed=1" to "confirm=1" does work for me. I haven't tried the rest. But it's not just you :) --Queen Mum (talk) 23:33, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

I think I found what was causing this. It should be fixed now. --Kevan (talk) 18:03, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Aye, I was just going to come here to report that it seems suddenly fixed. The last time I had to 'play' with it to get it to work (which has at times included leaving an attempted-to-add tab open that my 'fix' was still not fixing, to try to resubmit for success some hours later) was maybe the day before your response, Kevan. But just now two additions went through as (originally) expected, so it very much looks like you have sorted it satisfactorily. I won't be cheeky enough to ask for full details, just let me believe it's as I hypothesised and that I'm a genius in black-box diagnostics. ;)
((TL;DR; - I consider this issue closed, but I'll leave the report here for now just in case.)) Soupspoon (talk) 15:48, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

If it's caused by a zerg flag, I think this is still a bug as it is affecting other characters who are not involved (those behind in the revive queue cannot be scanned.) I doubt it's because of a zerg flag on my character because I just successfully revived another zombie at the same location.

Discussion
Just to be sure, when you say "tried to revive this one", you mean "created crazy" is in your contact list, and you selected that name in the drop down menu when using a needle, or had just scanned them and used the "revive this specimen" button? Because otherwise, it is conceivable that there was another zombie presnet in your loaction which you never saw (because, say, the moved in after you loaded your page, and move out again just after you used your needle). Using a needle on "the zombie" never ensure you actually hit the zombie you want, even if (as far as you know) there is only one zombie present. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 20:01, 28 May 2011 (BST)

Description: Several days ago, I first noticed that my diagnosis skill, which I bought about a month ago, was no longer showing user HP as it had been. I figured that it was a bug that would be fixed within a few days and waited. My screen still does not show user HP. Also, today I bought skills in shotgun training, advanced shotgun training, and lab experience. Once I bought these, the percentages of all hit rates for weapons have decreased. I have every military skill and my hit rates have always been higher for each weapon I chose than they are now. I have dropped to what appears to be basic starting percentages for chance of hit rate as if I had no skills at all: punch 12.5%, knife 25%, pistol 32.5%, shotgun 32.5%, and fire axe 20%. The amount of damage looks correct and unchanged, though. My character's name is "Victoria Anne". Thank you.

The only other thing I can think of is that I may have cleaned the graffiti in the building after it was defiled during some attacks not too long ago, but I know that I never wrote that message myself. Did I just answer my own question about why I received that message? And, even if I did, would this be a bug or intended behavior?

I even moved back to where the transmitter was, verifying that no one had smashed it in the brief interval between my first visit and the retuning of my own radio.

Highly doubt this is a bug. What I'm guessing is this: You got the original message the first time you tuned your radio, and since then, this is the second time you've tuned it. Am I on the money?

It could have been hacking, but then I would have just jumped from a building. I lost HP without any prompts saying who hit me or that I even took damage. I know that I was supposed to be at 59 HP, but I was at 19 HP. 40 HP is a big jump, and is pretty hard to miss. Somebody please tell me how I just got hurt.

Discussion
I see that you have Free Running. Were you trying to enter ruined buildings via Free Running? Doing so has a chance to take off 5HP for each time you do it. Also, maybe you were infected? You didn't tell us that you weren't, but it's the most obvious answer. Otherwise, it's possible you were attacked without actually having noticed the messages.

No, I didn't have an infection, but yes, the free-running may have been the cause because my character is sometimes moved to safety by another person. They say that they don't think they fell off. Also, I've never had to move back inside afterwards, so I trust that they didn't fall. And that it would take 8 drops in the 2-3 times that they've played since the last time I checked my health.
The most likely cause was that the zombie I got to follow me broke in then got kicked out after gnawing on me. Without me being told that a zombie gnawed my left arm off.-Caboose661 00:42, 7 October 2010 (BST)
If multiple people are playing your character, then the messages regarding the attacks would have gone to whichever of you logged on first after the attack happened. I've had cases where I logged on, but then quit my browser without seeing the messages (i.e. I missed them, since they only get displayed to me once, and I didn't look at them), and then later logged on, only to wonder why I was low on HP or infected. Also, sharing accounts is generally frowned upon, since it very quickly leads to concerns regarding zerging and alt abuse, just so you're aware. —Aichon— 05:49, 7 October 2010 (BST)
They didn't log on after that. It's probably that I just didn't get the notification. I didn't check my HP for two days, and in that period the guy I was staying with lost HP and the barricades were down a little bit. I was also tagging zombies to get them to follow me. The strange part was that it was just one zombie that would brought the barricades down from EHB and then hurt us both.-Caboose661 00:21, 12 October 2010 (BST)

One, a screenshot would be nice. And two, the AP doesn't regenerate at X:16 and X:46. Ever character regenerates at the same time, at X:30 and X:00, if not exactly, than close to it. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 10:01, 2 August 2010 (BST)

Jose, I would guess that you must have hit 50AP and "reset" your timer again so that it's not at X:16 and X:46 any longer, but rather at some other time. Instead of counting it that way, I'd suggest waiting about 1.5 hours and seeing if you get 2-3AP. If you do, then all is probably fine. —Aichon— 21:03, 2 August 2010 (BST)
Axe, that's incorrect. The AP ticks happen at whatever time you last went from 50 to 49 AP. So, if I was at 50AP at 1:15 and use an AP then, I'll get my next one 30 minutes later at 1:45. There are even userscripts out there (not by me), that exploit this fact to tell you down to the minute when your AP will regenerate. —Aichon— 21:03, 2 August 2010 (BST)

Zombie can SMASH what he can't SEE

reported by:		 Goldenboots
Current Status: Display Bug
Severity: Minor
Description: Your detailed description of the bug you encountered.

In a dark building (unlit bank), my zombie was the only character. I was ransacking, and I saw a "Smash Decorations" button. That was odd, because in the dark building, I couldn't SEE the decorations (not in the room description). After smashing a few, the "Smash Decorations" button went away. Screenshot: http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/4338/smashwhatyoucantsee.gif . This could be fixed by (a) allowing characters in dark rooms to see decorations, or (b) not allowing characters in dark rooms to see or smash decorations. Also, it might be funny to lower the percentage chance of smashing (from 100%)?

Hmmm. I don't think this is reeeeeeally a bug, it's just a fine nuance in the game you think isn't consistent and should be changed. I'd suggest, if you really want this changed, to be taken to Suggestions. --

How very odd. I actually wrote or maintain a few of the scripts you use, but none of the ones I manage that you're using should modify the behavior of your buttons.

Has happened to me always since I use UDinventory. As I can work around it by contact-listing the revive candidate and then choosing him from the pulldown menu, it has never really bothered me. -- Spiderzed▋ 14:54, 9 July 2010 (BST)

OK, so the likely culprit is a glitch with a script (because I did revive the player the next day after adding them to my contact-listing) -- next time I revive, I'll leave GreaseMonkey off and try. Pakopako 05:29, 13 July 2010 (BST)
I might suggest just disabling that one script instead. —Aichon— 06:34, 13 July 2010 (BST)
Wish I had read this bug report a long time ago. I also us UDInventory and had a similar problem. I my case, I DNA Scanned and then clicked the button to revive that person and stuck a rotter instead. I don't think I'll be using UDInventory any longer. ~Vsig.png 06:07, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Did you log out of your character (the one it's logging you in as against your will) last time? If not, then you could still be logged into them and need to log out of them first before it'll properly understand that you're trying to log into a different one. Basically, always log out first. Assuming you do that though, then the issue might be browser caching or session management. Either way, this is a known quirk of the game and has been around for quite some time. —Aichon— 04:43, 5 July 2010 (BST)

I have this same problem once in a while. Here's what you do to fix it... close your browser window, open a new one, and re-log in with the character you're going to use. This works about 60-70% of the time for me. The other 30-40%, delete your cookies, close the browser, open a new window, and then re-log on. It should work. If it doesn't, let me know via my talk page please. I'd be interested in seeing how this works out. -Poodle of DoomM! Fear is only as deep as the mind will allow it be.T 03:21, 29 June 2010 (BST)

There's actually a much more easier 100% foolproof way to fix this, and that is to log out your character. Apparently, if you're running multiple characters, and you sign into one without first logging off, the game still thinks you're logged onto the first character, thus making the switch. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 22:13, 29 June 2010 (BST)

I am receiving this problem as well: Specifically, between almost exactly 7:15 and 8:15 P.M. (CT) June 11th, I gained one AP on my character (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=2217882). 15 minutes later, I still hadn't received any more AP, so I went to sleep.

Could you be trying to refresh the last page (instead of just logging in fresh), causing it to attempt to perform an action (like barricading, attacking, searching) and using the APs without you noticing that they recharged (and were spent)? -- boxy 08:59, 13 June 2015 (BST)
As it turns out, that was exactly the problem. It still seems like a bug, though, that there isn't any way to see what's going on without spending AP or constantly logging out and logging back in. User:Wrpen 07:08, June 13th, 2015 (CT).
Well, UD isn't really a game that is designed to be constantly refreshed (as there is a daily AP and IP limit built in), but if you want to check back, follow a link to http://www.urbandead.com/map.cgi (which will take you directly to the UD interface, without taking an action) -- boxy 23:56, 13 June 2015 (BST)

Had you stood up before buying the skill? As far as I remember, when you're lying down, the skills available are based on what you were before lying down - so if you were killed, you can still buy survivor skills before you stand up as a zombie, and if revived, you can buy zombie skills before standing up as a survivor.

As was said, until you actually rise from the dead, you're just a dead body on the ground. Besides, the only two choices here are either to do it as it was done, or else to mark the change as soon as the person dies. Since most people stand up immediately, and it makes better in-genre sense to have them not be considered a zombie until they rise, I think it's fine. —Aichon— 23:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
