A wooden tack and brush box

Pook · **Posted:** Fri May 11, 2012 11:35 am

A newbie (Kreesh) approached me and said he could not get his box out of his knapsack. He explained he had put something into the box and put it in there. Btw, the character, Kreesh said, the box was shrunk and then put into the box. He feels it is now back to its original (larger) size because he can not put nearly the same amount of stuff in the sack.

Do not know if this is a problem with the box or with shrink/enlarge of an item inside a container -

The item in question is: a wooden tack and brush box (brand new)
When he tries to take it out of the knapsack: It won't come off the ground.

There is some RP about what's in the box (undisclosed) but he'd be quite happy to have it recovered...

Resizing of the object won't prevent it from being removed from the container I don't believe. It's an unusual bug. It looks almost like the item in question had a flag added to it at some point where it was flagged as not able to be picked up (a room prop object like a fountain or some furniture objects in various areas), and therefore won't respond to get or take commands.

The wooden box is bought in a shop.
The problem is with the box itself.
Tested with shrink/enlarge.
Tested with a mage who acid blasted until the knapsack blew up,
and the box went on the ground... Points to the mage, who then realized after where he took us to test and what all we were doing -

Brenton exclaims 'Anyway, awkward conversation in the bathhouse, let's return!'

This is after I purchased 2 replacement boxes, not seeing that as the problem.

So - newbie is cured. We're getting him a new container. Contents of his box recovered after knapsack acid blasted to death.

Can some imm please go to Teron, which is where a curly NPC sells them and fix the item please. THANKS

And thanks to Brenton for his time to help figure out what was going on.

the only thing I can think of is something else was in the room that had a similar short desc as the box and the game bugged thinking you kept trying to get the room object instead of the box. I have seen that before. Which is fixed by changing rooms.

It was the box. Buying a new box produced the same results. The boxes were left unjunkable in the room where I dropped the two I had. The problem must be some flag on the box, I am guessing. We did all the talking and initial putzing with the box in 1 room, then more of it in the room I bought another 2 boxes, and lastly more in the room where Brenton at least got the newbie back his gear after blowing up the knapsack it was stuck inside. When that happened, the box went straight to the ground, not Brenton's inventory. Just weirdness.

Yeah, it's flagged as furniture, and therefore not subject to junk or get commands. Final strike would destroy it, though.
