RF15-108 Can’t Enter Specific Maps Even with the Required Access Item

Reported: Some maps cannot be entered even with the required access item. The Novajan Fortress entrance refuses with "Moving Portal Failed: The Portal Index is Wrong" while carrying a Cold Mind Stone.

Found: Novajan Fortress is part of Wounded Land, a map added in RF Online 1.5. The 1.5 client has an Outcasts' Land portal to Wounded Land. The server does not have that map yet, so it has no record of that portal and refuses it as unknown. That is the message you saw. The Cold Mind Stone check is never reached.

The log line in the report comes from a different portal in Outcasts' Land, the one to the Dimension of the Unknown. That portal asks for a Piece of Mystery, not a Cold Mind Stone. That item exists in 1.5, but no shop, monster drop or quest in the 1.5 game data gives it.

Planned fix: We will add Wounded Land to the server, starting with the Outcasts' Land entrance that takes a Cold Mind Stone. The 1.5 files we work from have no layout, monster or portal data for the maps that are new in 1.5, so this is larger work than a usual fix. We will also decide which item the Dimension portals should ask for in 1.5, since nothing in the 1.5 game data gives any of the pieces they ask for.

Also affected: The 1.5 client knows 68 maps and the server has 31. None of the maps beyond those 31 can be entered yet.

Reported: Some maps cannot be entered even with the required access item. The Novajan Fortress entrance refused with a portal index error while carrying a Cold Mind Stone.

Fix:

• Wounded Land is now on the server. The Elf's Arc entrance in Outcasts' Land takes one Cold Mind Stone and puts you in Wounded Land, and its exit brings you back.

• Every map's portals now follow the game's own portal list, so a portal leads where the game says it does.

• The Dimension of the Unknown entrances now ask only for the level range the game shows, with no item. Before, they asked for Piece of Mystery items that nothing in RF Online 1.5 gives.

It ships in the next RC build.

Also affected: Wounded Land is only partly populated. The 1.5 files have no layout for it, so it comes from a later version of the game. Only one of its monster groups exists in 1.5, so most of the map is empty, and its NPCs are not placed. Its door to Lumenion Nortir refuses, because the server does not have that map. Maps added in 1.5 other than Wounded Land still cannot be entered.

To verify: In the next RC build, at level 53 or higher with a Cold Mind Stone, take the Elf's Arc entrance in Outcasts' Land. You should arrive in Wounded Land with one stone used, and be able to walk back out. Then try a Dimension of the Unknown entrance within its level range, with no Piece of Mystery.

Both maps, Dimension of the Unknown and Wounded Land, are working, albeit with no monsters in them, as you mentioned.

The other maps still return the error: "Teleport Failed: Portal Data Error."

Reported: Wounded Land and Dimension of the Unknown can now be entered. Other maps still refuse with "Teleport Failed: Portal Data Error."

Found: Those are the maps added in RF Online 1.5 that the server does not have yet, as the reply above said. Their entrances lead nowhere on the server, so it refuses them. The entrances this report covers now work, so it moves to Fixed.

Please file separately:

• One report for the 1.5 maps that cannot be entered, naming the maps and entrances you tried and which you want first. The 1.5 files carry no layout, monster or portal data for any of them, so where each map's content comes from is its own decision.
