Not sure if SoD related, but...

[Wilus]

Logged my war (Wilus) on this evening, resupplied food and what not and camped. When I logged back in an hour later the bottom two slots of my inventory were empty. Had a backpack (think leatherfoot, not 100% tho) with two stacks each of grobb liquidized meat and halas 10lb pie in it and my orb of life poof on me. Tried zoning, relogging and checking my bank to see if I could find them, but they seem to be gone.

Now I noticed with SoD the slot order compared to titanum seems different (some of my clickies on hotbar became bags, as if slot numbers had been reassigned), and while clicking to drink some ale while whacking zombies in the forest I got an error message about item not found in slot something or other (wasn't really paying attention to battle spam). It was also casting invis vs undead when I clicked the ale, which I found sort of odd.

So my questionn is...
Has anyone else had things vanish or behave strangly in their inventory while using SoD?

Kinda glad it was stuff that is easy to replace (might have blown a gasket if it was donor weapon lol), but could still be an issue for someone else if it is a bug.

Are you using the default UI? Things can 'disappear' with an improperly configured UI referencing slots it shouldn't be.

I did try a custom UI before logging, so bet that is what it was. Kinda glad I only did that on one character - lesson learned.

Well, I have seen reports like this before:

It is a pretty rare bug, but I am still not sure what causes it. I have a couple of ideas to maybe help prevent it, though. Also, I think it would be a really good idea to add a deleted_items table at some point, which we could then use to see items that were deleted and why. That would help a ton to figure out what is causing this issue.

The first thing we need to know is exactly what is causing the deletes to happen. Once we know where it is being deleted, we can work backwards to find out the why and fix it. You mentioned an error, and that might be helpful, but we need to know the exact error if possible. If you /log your EQ sessions, you should be able to search your logs for the word "error" and find it.

Is this something like the error you got?:
Error: Server found no item in slot %i (->%i), Deleting Item!

If you aren't 100% sure, then that is ok, but if you definitely remember that being the error, it will help us to isolate the problem.

That was the error; don't log sessions, but am going to start

Actually, looking at it closer, SoF or SoD should never see that actual error. Though, a similar one you might see is this:

"Error: Item not found in slot %i"

That error comes in if it thinks you are dropping the item on the ground. I am betting that is the error you got. I have some ideas now about a possible cause and will look into it.

I was able to reporduce it. Just had to spam some booze until it says you cannot drink anymore, then keep clicking and you get the error. When I logged out and back in the items in my bottom two slots were gone again (this time I used a half stack of ale split between the two).

Happened in both custom UI and default UI.


Moral of the story: drinking is bad for you (thinking it is a special effect for when you'ev had too much... IE dropped item while stumbling around blind drunk)

Error message was:
"Error: Item not found in slot 29" in custom UI and
"Error: Item not found in slot 28" in default UI -> but was same slot

That error when drinking is kinda normal. The problem is that the server now handles the drinking portion, but the client still has hard set limits for food/drink/alcohol, but we don't know what those limits are yet. So, if you drink alcohol past your limit, it keeps drinking it until it is all gone even if the client still shows some in your inventory.

It should only be drinking your alcohol, though, not deleting bags or anything from any other slot.

This second time when you reproduced it, it may have been working as intended. It may be possible the bag deletion was unrelated to that error. Though, while I was looking into that error, I noticed something about how slots are handled that could definitely cause an issue, so I will try changing that to see if it stops the problems for good.

As for the consuming items stuff, someone will need to figure out the formulas that the client uses at some point, otherwise they will always be able to consume more than the client can handle.
