In Serenity Woods i have used a Teleporter system that i modded over a year ago. It's the Cubey Mark III modified to use WarpPos movement. This teleporter has served me well and was quick to get to it's destination. However, Todays patch messed all of them up. Now they only go within 1 or 2 meters away from where they start at and go back... This is a big problem for me because either i have to get Ll to undo what they did, or i have to go all over the sim and replace them with old crappy sit teleporters.. Which since sit teleporters are limited to 300m i now have to build checkpoint stations... -.- Thanks LL for screwing up more content... Anyone else notice this happening to any of their builds? I thought LL was in the art of trying to avoid doing things like this... :/

Here is a hot thread in the Scripting Tips forum where all the scripting experts are trying to fix it by altering the scripts. I didn't read all of the posts, but it may be something to keep an eye on.

Thx for the help guys. Hopefully i don't have to switch back to old school sit teleporters.

This is mentioned in the other thread, but just to make sure everyone knows, Joshua Linden has posted on Jira (the bug reporting system) that this was an unintentional side-effect of another fix, and that this will be fixed with a rolling server patch as quickly as they can (probably in the next day or two).

A day or two? well at least it isn't a week or two. :p
In the mean time i guess i will have to give people landmarks to places around the sim and tell them to fly there... Also if it ever becomes a debate that warppos was a hack, we have defense. Sit Teleporters in general were always a hack. :P

Thank goodness for that - this is causing me great problems.
