Gunsei 15 Posted June 19, 2018 So, I have symbols from ancient times of RTW, and they don't have creator listed, so I can't copy/edit them. I tried making a ticket about this but the "choose game" field was.. just words on the page not a selectable thing, so couldn't submit it. Anyhow, is there any way support is able to fix old "orphaned" symbols? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunsei 15 Posted June 19, 2018 Working as intended? The symbols have NO creator attached to them. That doesn't sound working as intended to me? Even themes I've had from players that got banned or from before server merges still have a creator attached to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunsei 15 Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Well, I have to admit I was just unbanned today... Just adding, like I said, they are symbols from RTW time, they were created BEFORE G1 was ever part of the picture.

Spheri 66 Posted June 19, 2018 If you created those symbols yourself, you can duplicate/edit them, if they're not you can't. That's the simple rule. If you're implying you were the creator of them, but lost the credentials for the account that created them, you should be able to make 'em again. I'd rather not see people duplicate other peoples' work, regardless if they're gone or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunsei 15 Posted June 19, 2018 I honestly don't plan on ever using symbol creator again, it went from a way you could make RTW currency to pay your subscription, to something you are greatly limited on if you DONT subscribe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zolerox 564 Posted June 19, 2018 What if You could dupe them But the original name is kept. Just an idea open to discussion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randodom 9 Posted June 19, 2018 I made a symbol during RTW, when the game was lifted back up by G1 at some point I noticed the symbol I had made had no creator. I tried asking support but they couldn't help with it.

WitchQueen 316 Posted June 19, 2018 I totally read this whole thread incorrectly. I though OP was saying that he had created them during RTW and now he can't dupe/edit. But yeah if you didn't create then why would you ever get the ability to dupe? I had a double shoulder gun holster from RTW that I ported over to G1 but it was stuck as brown and gold. I got support to change it to a different character and it magically became customisable. However, I couldn't dupe it so it was stuck in the same slot in my locker for years annoying me. On returning for LO APB I have finally bought it from ARMAS and deleted the old one. I ramble. Point is that item was actually mine and I couldn't do anything with it. Ps. I've literally never used the word 'dupe' before writing in this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can already use the symbol infinitely when designing. Duping just matters for selling - sounds like a bad idea for any artist trying to do business.

CookiePuss 5373 Posted June 19, 2018 You could always just ask another creator to remake the symbol as you want it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alani 475 Posted June 19, 2018 ya i wanna be able to edit my nzev themes and all the symbols i bought!1!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SelttikS 224 Posted June 19, 2018 I always though we should have it more like how Second Life did with ownership and usage of designs. Different rights based on what they were sold as. That way someone could edit something they bought but never make a copy or transfer it. But on topic, youll have to get support to add an owner to it.

iodyne_ 127 Posted June 19, 2018 Would be nice to be able to have a "check-box" permission options when creating symbols, such as... - open edit - copy - transfer - full permissions But this is so far off the important things on the list of things to fix/add. it'll never happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nymphi--DoubleDee 83 Posted June 19, 2018 I see no reason for people to copy a symbol over and over, unless for resell. As it stands, you can use the same symbol multiple times and messed over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5373 Posted June 19, 2018 No for real, just ask someone to remake it for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunsei 15 Posted June 19, 2018 Ok. I never said my problem was I didn't create it. Maybe screenshot will help illustrate the issue better than my words. Also, its 100 layer, it was my clan symbol (clan of mostly just me but hey), but now that clan name belongs to someone else, probably cause of merge. https://imgur.com/a/b0tdyYO I'm not sure if you all would have reacted differently if I had worded it "Reloaded Productions erroneously listed as the creator of my symbols" Everyone is quick to assume the worst, cast judgement, and put people down. Also, I don't really plan on recreating my symbols, or asking someone else to, I mean, they aren't really super relevant to me or my game play anymore. It really isn't a big deal, if I was into selling stuff on the market, I would probably be more concerned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
