Disappearing Arrows

Post by n00bie »

dunno if i just missed it. or its already a known bug that i dont know. never buy arrows and place them on coffer then talk to NPC and buy them. you will be paying arrows that you wont be getting. buying 2 coffer full of arrow that cost around 3k a quiver was really a pain.

i guess i learned it the hard way. hehehehe. as if anyone even uses bow now a days. oh well

There is a general bug I have noticed when buying in shops, which seems to involve the following:

1) Buying large quantities of items (aka arrows)
2) Lag
3) Quick clicking through the menus

Normally, when you are buying from the shop, and you click the initial "purchase" option, he will give the price and ask if that is correct. If you look at your combat log, you should also notice that the items you are buying are removed from your inventory temporarily. Upon clicking yes, you lose the money and regain the items.

It seems that should the above three circumstances be met, the game does not have enough time to collect all the items you are buying, thus not marking them as being properly bought. You still lose the money, naturally.

Of course, I could be describing a different problem completely, in which case this too is a problem...
But, it's such a draining job that, until you've DMed on an NWN server yourself, you the playerbase, have got to cut the DMs some slack. - Flailer

he's mostly talking of the problem where you buy items and leave the store, upon leaving the store the theft script fires and takes the items back out of your inventory.

so don't put them in a box when buying them. leave items in your inventory and don't touch them till you leave the shop. that cuts most of the bugs out.
