Two bugs with the Miner's Sack
« on: May 18, 2019, 11:36:16 PM »
I was doing some crafting and I noticed a couple of bugs stemming from the newly-added Miner's Sack:

1.) The Miner's Sack does not store ore from the player's inventory despite the description stating to the contrary, and

2.) When using the Miner's Sack on a crafting station (ex: a Smelter), the items are stored in the Sack but the weight of the new items is not added to the player's total encumberance until another weight calculation is performed.

For example, let's say a player's total encumberance is 25 lbs. If 55 lbs of ingots are inside of a Smelter crafting station, and a Miner's Sack is used on the Smelter, the ingots will be placed inside of the Sack, but the player's total encumberance will remain at 25 lbs. If, however, the player picks up and item, discards and item, or places an item into a bag, the player's total encumberance will update to 80 lbs (plus or minus whatever weight is lost when picking up/discarding an item or placing it into a bag).

While these conditions persist a player who would normally be overencumbered by storing materials in the Miner's Sack will function as though they were not overencumbered, and if they would cease to be overencumbered by emptying a Miner's Sack into a crafting station will function as though they were still overencumbered.
Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell;
And in the lowest deep a lower deep,
Still threat’ning to devour me, opens wide,
To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.

Update: the bug pertaining to encumberance persists in Trapper's Sacks as well.

Were you trying to store Iron ore by any chance?

Sounds like a NwN EE glitch. It may be best to report that on the Beamdog boards.

Yeah that’s been reported. It’ll be fixed in the next update.

Bug #1 should now be fixed; #2 is hardcoded.
