Subject: vTank and Alinco looting issues
Its honestly almost comical. My guys keep looting missile weapons. Period. Bows, xbows, and TW items...anything...they might ignore 30 bows, then pick up a random xbow. When I ID it, alinco doesnt "classify it" with the (bow) or anything. I dont have it set to alert bows/xbows/tw, but yet I am looting them. Its not cause they are mana tanks, its not for value, I already disabled all that. But yet no matter WHAT I DO, my guys will all pickup missile weapons. Its not the end of the world, Im just trying to figure out why they bother.

Anyways if anyone else has had this chime in. And honestly, I have tried everything, Im a developer myself so all the obvious things, ive changed. I dont have this issue with swords or staffs or wands, etc. Everything works perfectly honestly...except for the missile stuff..oh and none of it is ever EVER near a perfect weapon, usually like 335 weild stuff with horrible stats haha. Theres no rhyme or reason for whats going on, hence why I just laugh when it happens and then place it back on the ground lol.

sure sounds as if something is set to pick up on a partical match is also grabbing the weapons for a hit.


i got tired of entering mana elixier, philfter, and whatever in the four or 5 variations(sizes) there in the trophy listing so shortened them to Not exact matchs of Mana

was really getting annoyed at all the mana X scrolls i was then later picking up, TILL it struck me it was catching on the mana incomplete match.

The thing is, what do they all have in common? Why xbow, atlatls, and bows? Also when I right click it, it doesnt say (Trophy) or (bow) etc, it just ID's the item. So its probably not that...

as my weak example above tried toshow

there may be something else with a partical hit common to the descrption or to the spell listing that is hooking the item.

In my case i wanted like stam or mana vials but used the not exact mana description and as part of the trophy, but it picked up on the mana in the scroll title definition and thus looted that.

IT was doing as i told it, not what i wanted it to do. fault was all mine.

I am 99% sure this is a bug in Alinco. It seems to happen to everyone who uses Alinco as a lootplugin (it doesn't happen with VTClassic).

If you want, you can always look through the Alinco3 source yourself and try to find the problem, then send a patch to Losado happy

Yes sure it is a bug in alinco but I can not reproduce it.
with the xp weekend I did run my new chars for many hours/days and picked up 1 item that did not match.
I also spend hours in manualy Identing to verify if al is working.

It could be that VT has recieved the ident object event sooner then Alinco or something in that direction.
again the main problem for now is that I can not reproduce the error on my pc's.
