Hack Requests? I'd Like a Newspaper Fix...
ReneeFox:
Okay, before I get boo'd off this site, I'd better ask before spelling it all out. I thought this fit in The Bowels of Trogdor, but I can't post in there.
I found a bug with EAxis spaghetti code where they tried to do something fancy with Read Section... of a newspaper, and broke the ability for Sims to put the paper back where it came from; it goes on the floor. I followed code from Check Weatherforecast, Do Crossword, and reading magazines. I couldn't figure out where the problem was, but all of them seem to call "put paper back" (something else for reading magazines). So, they bwoke it!!! It drives me crazy that the paper could be anywhere, depending on what floor a Sim puts the paper down. I couldn't get beyond looking through nests of code and scratching my head.
Can somebody around here create a hack-fix for this? Oh, and how do Peasants upload their teeny-weeny fixes to this site? :D
Zazazu:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Peasant offerings go in the Peasantry. You know. The section that says "Random stuff from the peasants. " Yeah. That one. As for the newspaper issue, sims have always dropped it wherever they may (closest coffee table, then floor).
ReneeFox:
Okay, okay, adjust your glasses. I didn't say WHERE! I said HOW! How do you like THAT? Booooooooooooooooo you, too. ;D I don't want to mess with HTML to upload a file, and FTP isssssssssn't it! I'm sure there are things the DCs want to accept hacks from Peasants. I didn't see how, but then again, my eyes are buggin' from reading tiny print.
Oh, and once you start looking at the code difference between Newspaper - Check Weatherforecast and Read Section... (0x7F08E23C), if it doesn't make you flinge (or cringe), I'll pull my own hair out for you; or shoot that thing off the top of your fury little head with an arrow if I'm right. LOL
My Sims always put the paper back on an available table (if present) when checking the forecast, doing a crossword, and perhaps others. They never place it on an end-table or coffee table for reading hobby sections. So:
GOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
Stitches:
I dunno about any fixes you come up with. I mean, it isn't exactly rocket science to upload an attachment into Peasantry. If you can't handle that simple task, why would anyone trust a fix from you? I can only surmise that you are either very silly or want attention.
J. M. Pescado:
The newspaper is simply not a priority, because I have long engaged in the practice of preemptively burying 3 using a Makebuyable collection under the foundation somewhere of any lot I make, because, frankly, it's a hassle. Sims seem to think it is worth stealing, others seem to think this silliness is worth caring about, and worst of all, if you don't, it SPAWNS A 12! FILTHY 12s!
