It seems that I can't see room images, going back for weeks. Shouldn't my progress have been processed by now? It's quite frustrating, and it seems to include most Smitemasters' Selections and then some.

Huh... I suppose I must be on everyone's ignore list.
But seriously, can't anyone help me? I reviewed the list in the "Room Image Unavailable" image, and according to it the only remaining possibility is that I've had 'bad days' for over a month consecutively.

I think only Schik can help you with this and he's been pretty busy lately, so maybe he missed your message or just didn't get to it yet.

To increase the chances this is resolved quickly, maybe you should provide a bit more information, like give a few examples of rooms which you think you should be able to see images of and can't.

Ah, OK. I can't see any of:
Beethro and the Secret Society
Beethro's Teacher
Beethros day off
Halph Has a Bad Day
King Dugan's Dungeon 2.0
L M N O
Perfection
The Choice
Some of these I've mastered, even! There's others and bits thereof, but I can't make a complete list now.

Jatopian,

Can you try something out? Start DROD, connected to CaravelNet. Restore to the last room (of one of these holds) and walk down the stairs. Exit DROD.

See if that changes anything. I'm just trying to narrow down what might be going wrong.

I did that with Halph Has a Bad Day, and can now see all room images for it. Other holds are unaffected.

I was going to ask hints for a secret room in MetDROiD Prime, but I can't click on the picture. I can see it on the map on the hints search page, but when I click it nothing happens!

Well, there's some progress. Next question: Were demos for the holds in question mass uploaded, on the Settings screen, or did you play them while connected to CaravelNet?

Mass uploaded, mostly. I played a few rooms while connected, I think.

Thanks. I'll take a look at the mass upload code, and see if it's not properly setting viewed status or something.

I (finally!) looked at this. I've fixed all existing rooms that I possibly can, so you should be able to see all rooms that you've visited. And in the future when you do a mass upload, you should be able to see the rooms after the spider has verified your demos. I would have prefered you be able to see the rooms immediately, but this was much less complicated (thus, less risky) to code.

Hi Schik --

You probably already know this, but this doesn't fix the ability to view secret rooms that you've already visited. At least, not as far as I can tell...

I sure hope you can. The only holds you shouldn't be able to see room images for before playing them are SS holds and a few others that have been marked that way by the architects.

So the marking is a voluntary procedure? Man, we really need an FAQ for this (which I'd do, except I have no published holds from which to write the info).

As opposed to being forced on people? Yeah, it's simply an option when you upload a hold to the Holds board.
