I've been unable to reproduce this, it seems to be working fine for me. Perhaps we need to contact the original poster and get some more details.

Well, I didn't write this yesterday O_o but anywho, It seems to be fixed somehow... might have been my computer...

Finding a turf will work, attempting to replace said turf with find and replace will result in a "Pattern Not Found" error. OS: Windows XP Professional BYOND: 440.1018 GFX Card: Radeon 9200 SE | |
I tested this on a 10x10 map and had no issue. Perhaps it has to do with the length/complexity of the path? My test changed from one /path to another /path (I tend to override parent_type for my projects; makes 'em easier to read for me).
OS: Windows XP Home BYOND: 440:1018 I've tried find all (errors out with: Found 100 objects (max count reached)), replace all, find next, replace . . . all work fine for me. I'll test with more complicated paths later. [EDIT] I noticed the OP listed BYOND v.438. Perhaps it was a version issue? Perhaps not as Tiberath reported the issue on 440. Still, might be worth considering. | |
Ha, there we go.
Attempting to replace /turf/grass with /turf/sand works, however, if you try to replace /turf/grass with say /mob/player it returns the error "Pattern Not Found". (/mob/player existed in the object tree for me, by the way) I don't know of this is intentional behaviour or not. But without official word from the powers that be, I'm going to mark this bug report as confirmed seeing as the find and replace does have -some- issue in replacing turfs. | |
You can only replace atoms by other atoms of the same type. Perhaps we should clarify that in the error message. But it doesn't look like that's what the OP is reporting here.
I have received this error when first initializing a new map and replacing the default turf. It has to do with the way those are stored. I can probably fix it, but it's pretty minor since it only happens in this specific case. If there is a general problem, I have yet to reproduce it. | |

I recently saw something in the dev. how to section (I think) where somebody had replaced all their old water turfs with objects, and it caused a bad-world error. | |
