Project results end up on the ground

Postby Bmot » Tue Jun 24, 2014 11:39 am

Lately, I've been noticing that sometimes, the result of a project doesn't end up in my char's inventory, but on the ground. I already checked:

- it is my own project
- my char isn't holding too much
- it was actually my char finishing the project, so he was in the same location

Does this just happen to certain objects, or is there a bug, or what?

It happens to certain objects, mainly ones that are containers. Most of the times it's an oversight, because items are generally created by copying an earlier item and changing the information, yet it's easy to forget about the part about whether it ends up in the inventory or on the ground.

So, is it useful to report such items here so that can be changed? :)

This specific item was a bag... I think last time it happened it was a bag as well.

Yes, someone else reported that earlier. I think all of the new bags end up on the ground, because they were based on a container that did the same. I can change it but hopefully that won't affect current projects, because then they might end up in unexpected people's inventories.

I changed the following items so that they should appear in the inventory instead of on the ground:

crocodile skin handbag
hide bag
leather handbag
leather messenger bag
snakeskin handbag
tiny silk handbag
traveler's pack
canvas duffel
burlap sack

As far as I know, this will only affect new projects, not existing ones. Report ASAP if you make one of these items and it fails to appear.
