Invalid Creature in the Archives

flashbunny • 26 April 2014 at 4:04 AM

When clicking from Barbat to Battyrus via "Next species" it just gives you this message: The species you are trying to view does not exist.

doubt these are needed, but just in case:

1. Your browser (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE) - Firefox
2. Your browser's version - 28.0
3. The page URL you were on when the error occurred- http://eggcave.com/archives/view/barbat
4. What you were trying to do - scroll through the archives by using the top "next species" links
5. What happened instead (i.e. include any errors you received, etc) - again, when clicking from Barbat to Battyrus via "Next species" it just gives you a message that the creature is invalid.

Update: also happened on the Bomnom's page: http://eggcave.com/archives/view/bomnom

Probably happens on other pages aswell, but i'm short on time at the moment, to check them 😊

Thank you, hope this wasn't a repost, i did scroll through the Bug forums a bit, but didn't find any topics on this 😊

@flashbunny yeah I'm having that problem too :\ the next creature is actually Battyrus, and when I click on it straight from the Archives, it works.

Yeah, that's what i mean. It's just the links from the actual archive entries that don't want to work :]

Glad i'm not the only one.

Hmm I tried exactly what you explained you did, yet it is working perfectly fine.

Ashlinnhi, are you using Firefox as well or something else?

It doesn't work for me either and I'm on Chrome
It may be where the next creature that will be released is in the archives

@mastergemma
Ah never mind I think I got it.

If you press on one of the two links and press NEXT, it comes up as invalid.

@flashbunny @ashlinnhi
The reason behind this is that that area will be where the next planned creature will be released. Nice job finding out where they might be~
Invalid Creature = Not released yet

I can't remember anything at 3AM
Someone posted something quite similar to this a few months ago, and mods said it was an unreleased creature.
Ahahahaaa... Yeah.
I can't remember these things.

@newlife i'm using chrome as well.

Still, it was working fine during the Easter hunt, i figured it was a coding mistake because it appeared after the hunt.

Either way, thanks guys :]

There is no "313" and "314" creatures so the redirection link must be changed. 😊
.. orr it might be kept there for the new creatures that are to come. maybe 2 of the new creatures (2 CC monthlies and 2 cave monthlies) might start with "B".

Because there's just 310 creatures now with the Ryby out... and the next four that come in a lump would probably be 1st May.. when the monthlies come out to keep the number to 314.
