Unflappable Drayk Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Whenever I switch the item number of a gold ring and any other item, (graymold in this case, I wanted to finish the damn quest,) all rings turn into floor tiles. When I switched them back, or used a different item, it worked fine. I looked through the script looking for any possible errors, and after some reading through, concluded that what I did with the gold ring was not in any way different with what I did with the stick. (switching the 'begindefineitem' numbers.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 In those scripts, objects that are defined get the characteristics that are given to them after begindefineitem (such as "it_stats_to_affect_0 = 0" or whatever), but they ALSO inherit the characteristics of another item. If "import = x" is used, they inherit the characteristics of x (overwriting any characteristics that the item has already been given). If no import line is there, they inherit the characteristics of the previous item in the file. All rings (except for item 171, the platinum ring) import item 170, the gold ring (or another ring which itself imports the gold ring). (You might say the plain gold ring is the master ring...) If item 170 is no longer the gold ring, they no longer important the characteristics that make them rings! This is why editing the script files is not safe if you aren't extremely careful.

Unflappable Drayk Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 I forgot about that, it seems so simple now that you pointed it out, and yes, I do have experience reading and writing spiderwebcode. That still doesn't change why they turned into floor tiles though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 It's a graphics issue. The floor tile (I'm assuming you're getting green grass) is the default item graphic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Did it appear while trying to post? I think I got something similar once, but I can't be sure. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 That error usually means the forums' server is overloaded. Try again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
