Did you explicitely lock down the tapestry (not sure if this works)? If not, the tool cannot be used to move unlocked items.

No I didn't I may try that, but like the tables we are no locger able to lock down portions of a multi tile, typically. We could long ago when these table were first introduced but they fixed that and then introduced the cure in the form of goza mats.

I did not recieve the error message "that is not locked down" when trying to manipulate the tapestry, but the "you cannot raise that" or "you cannot lower that" messages.

Did you try breaking the tapestry to lower all the pieces? Place two square goza mats then raise them a few times, place the tap on them and then lower one goza mat. Lower the lower tap piece till it won't go anymore then lower the other piece. You'd probably want to do this bit after the table is in place since taps are being the stubborn ones.

That's like giving up! 'Oh this new feature doesn't work, lets just can it' Would never want to see that attitude in a game.

no, just take it out and rework it so that the particular item is no longer an issue, then put it back in.... breaking everything else to fix one item doesn't seem to be working

KK
First off special thanks to falseprophet of Origin who went to work and got me a brand new flower tapestry to play with. I wish I could say that his effort paid off with some new and enlightening finds, but alas it didn't.

Sarsmi's idea about breaking the tap itself seems interesting and I'll try that now. I had a shard xfer I was going to try and make happen before the end of Return to Britannia, but what the heck. It isn't happening with the publish differential anyway.

The add-ons are going on the goza mats now!
But I seem to be missing a few add-ons that were up when I left last night. Unless my friend took them down.

 

[Viquire]

Ok well that's new to me anyway. I was able to get the tapestry to place above the table, but at that point dropping the mats produced no fall in the tapestry art. And now of course the tapestry is easily visible on the floor above.

Will edit after I play more.

*tried placing the tapestry at several height positions when mats were protruding up through, but not fully visible or above the table. All these tests produced the "you cannot construct that there" failure.

Then I removed the table raised all mats by one and placed the tapestry. When I lowered the mats the wall art stayed in position, so it becomes static once placed. However the placement of the tap at plus one had the effect of allowing me to place the table at floor level, no need to play with mat elevation, but with the same graphic glitch as before.

 

[DevilsOwn]

need to be able to drop the goza at least two clicks in order to get an item to break.... I've never attempted to chop tapestries, so can't help any further than that

Right, no I did that. But the art remains static on the wall. Here, I'll check my work.

 

[Viquire]

OK, placing the tap at position number four off the floor did result in the tap "breaking" after it had been lowered two spaces, but I only got the one height adjustment through four z repositionings and the tap appears to still be one off the floor because when the mats are fully lowered I can still place the table, complete with insertion glitches, with no problem directly on the goza mats on top of the floor tiles.

 

[Viquire]

Alright now here is something new.

The floors of my castle are completely covered in black gozas, many times two space south gozas were placed one tile north of the wall and "appeared" to be consistent tiling even covering tiles located under the wall(s).

As I just tried to repeat this process, I get the error message "you can't place a multi tile add-on at the entrance!" even though I am "working" in my northeast tower at the south side of the building.

Maybe something was done with the walls themselves, can anyone else on origin try placing add ons along the south wall of any room please?

*edit* I can place single tile gozas under these south walls, very odd.

reported here... (post date 10/2) I attempted, after reading this, to put a trough anywhere along the southern walls of the castle, no good

 

[Viquire]

Thanks for that heads up DO. I have other unrelated questions now that i will post over in homes and castles at another time.

Agreed! This is a huge mess over one item. Would have been easier and less stressful for everyone to just remove it, fix it and re-add it instead of putting everyone through this.

I get this message anytime I try to place a water trough on either the east or south edge of a building...
