Templates broken in the new alpha?

Support Resolved Reports
#1

I’m trying to re-build my Maratas fortress in the new Alpha (a few things I wanted to do differently) and when I try to re-place my old templates, they don’t work. Instead I get the following error message:

And they won’t place even on flat normal terrain. Any fix possible? Hand-engineering those again would be prohibitive.

Adding @not_owen_wilson, in case he has any insights. Unfortunately, he’ll be out for the next few days.

Hrm. It doesn’t work any more even when I revert to the prior beta build. Maybe it’s because I switched to Windows 10? Aaarg/

All my other templates work, just not those two.

Well, that was very strange. Whatever it is, I managed to fix it by loading an earlier savegame and resaving from the in-game copy.

I can confirm this. Several custom templates do not work with the current unstable build. Not sure why, but when I try to build them it won’t let me and just gives a similar error message to yours. You were fortunate if reloading fixed it. Most of my templates work just fine, just not my barracks and armory ones.

I had to go waaay back to savegames from the prior alpha build, where the building was still just an in-place draft ghost, and resave from that placed ghost. I tried it a few times with different saves before I got one that worked.

Ok, update:

I spoke too soon.

The moonphase mosaic template did seem to fix itself, but the tower doesn’t work and doesn’t build correctly (they try to build the top first OR I get an error when the tower is placed, especially if I rotate it).

It also seems to rotate “off center” for some reason – the rotation point isnt the central axis of the tower.

I ended up re-making the same tower “from scratch” and this version works. It also uses an obscene amount of wood purely for scaffolding (roughly 500 units).

It seems for me that the ones that I can’t place are the ones that don’t have a png file along with them (no pic next to template name in-game). I can’t even see the outline of where I’m going to place the building. I’ve only done this in alpha 17 so I can’t say for sure if it’s a bug only in the new alpha. @Hieronymous I run windows 8 so it probably isn’t the fact that it’s windows 10.

Edit: Re-building (starting from scratch) the building and then saving the new building seems to work for me as well.

Edit 2: Nevermind, placing the building doesn’t work. Although, I do get the outline of where I’m going to place it.
