Cove List Management Is Back!

May 1, 2017 at 4:05 PM

Cove List Management Has Been Fixed

We've completely redone Cove List management when you click Manage & Add Creatures to order your creatures. Instead of relying on the somewhat finicky drag-and-drop functionality (that's normally not the very best at cross-browser compatibility, especially mobile), we've allowed you the ability to physically specify the number that a creature should be ordered. The system will automatically fill in missed or blank spaces.

Sorry for the wait!

How to Get Started with Cove Lists...

Head over to Cove List management by clicking "My Creatures" on the sidebar, then clicking "Cove Lists" in the submenu. Create your first list, then start adding and ordering creatures by clicking Manage & Add Creatures. These lists can appear on your profiles.

When you're finished, click Back to Cove Lists to head back to the Egg Cave main site.

In the mean time, we're working on getting the forums search back online! Thank you for helping us squash these bugs over the last week of version 3. You've helped make the new Egg Cave a smashing success!

Side Note: Click Exchange Fixes

Database "deadlocks" (where the database receives different instructions to modify different data at the same exact system time) have been fixed at the Click Exchange, which was causing certain clicks to not register when clicking. This is what caused certain links to reappear after you already "clicked" them.

Other Fixes

  • Fixed a glitch when canceling your auction early
  • Fixed a glitch when sending an inventory item to a friend

Trinkets Will Be Late

Sorry for the delay on Trinket Travels. They will be several days late for May's creatures.

This is great! Thanks EC team. The drag/drop thing was finicky, I agree. Glad to see this nice change 😊

Ian • 1 May 2017, 4:10 PM

Glad you're liking the changes!

Time to test it out!

Ian • 1 May 2017, 4:27 PM

Also fixed: searching by species in your Coves (http://eggcave.com/cove) ❤️

So if I want to move a newly added creature on my list of 50 creatures to 25, I have to update 25-50 aswell?

senpai • 1 May 2017, 4:36 PM

I'm trying to add creatures to my "CSP" list but it ALWAYS sends to the "o_o" list (yes, I'm selecting the correct list) is it a bug?

Ian • 1 May 2017, 4:37 PM

@o_o at the moment, yes, unfortunately. You could also try inputting negative numbers (i.e. -1) and see if the system will transform it.

lykhaos117 • 1 May 2017, 4:42 PM

I've noticed that it seems to count 0 as 1, 1 as 2, etc.

Ian • 1 May 2017, 4:50 PM

@senpai sorry! Cove Lists have been fixed. AGAIN. When adding creatures/editing them. ❤️

petowner12309 • 1 May 2017, 4:53 PM

I noticed that in the Trinket Travels, the shopkeeper won't accept what the page says the item is worth. She just keeps saying no.

petowner12309 • 1 May 2017, 4:53 PM

Example: Item is 2,000. You offer 2,000. She says no. You offer 2,100. She says no. You offer 3,000. She says yes.

Doesn't work at all for me.

333 • 1 May 2017, 5:31 PM

*Puts hand up* has anyone else been seeing in the "items used" section of a natural Star Creature a Star Potion? Is that supposed to be-

333 • 1 May 2017, 5:31 PM

-there or is it a bug? 😱

cosmia • 1 May 2017, 5:38 PM

@333 I am certain it's a bug. And I am certain it along with all other bugs and glitches on eggcave will be fixed eventually.

sky • 1 May 2017, 6:11 PM

@333 @cosmia "All star creatures, both natural and those who had the potion, say this. This is not a bug." - Orderedchaos

skyfall4 • 1 May 2017, 6:11 PM

@cosmia @333 No it's not a bug- I found one of the mods stating natural and CC starred creatures both say they used the star potion O.O

bun • 1 May 2017, 6:49 PM

ack x o x i liked the drag and drop sorting.

novrain62 • 1 May 2017, 8:03 PM

I couldn't make the cove list management work for me. I just delete the entire list and started over.

skyfall4 • 1 May 2017, 8:24 PM

@_black3333_ same 😋

quetzalcoatl • 2 May 2017, 12:55 AM

I can't get it to work either. Itd be nice if it used a decimal number system.... So you can move a creature between 2 numbers. Ex. 1.1, 1.2

quetzalcoatl • 2 May 2017, 12:58 AM

If u want creatures placed between number 1 and number 2 creature, theyd be numbered 1.1-1.9. And inserted between them. So easy that way.

333 • 2 May 2017, 1:46 AM

@cosmia @sky @skyfall Hm, that's kind of annoying... but thanks for the input anyway. 😉

elluwah • 2 May 2017, 8:57 AM

I was so used to the drag and drop thing. That worked so well for me. :/

firebreath5432 • 2 May 2017, 9:27 AM

It won't let me click creatures in tim's

carcharhiniformes • 2 May 2017, 1:02 PM

Either I haven't figured out how to work with this new cove management, or it's not working properly. Either way I miss the drag and drop.

ufo • 2 May 2017, 2:19 PM

This is still not working for me.

Ian • 2 May 2017, 2:40 PM

Cove List management ordering is now working again. Your order will save.
