Boot Sheathes?

[Desertman]

I have found over the past couple of RL months that the sheathes in boots, well, just seem to not work. I have bought multiple types of boots all with sheathes that I have used in the past on several occasions...and none of them will seem to hold a blade. Not a skinning knife, not a dagger, not a longknife...and I have tried multiple types of blades which all used to work in the past as well. Upon bugging this one time I had an immortal tell me that I was simply trying to use the wrong type of blades to sheathe...that only certain types of blades would sheathe in a pair of boots. Another time I had an immortal come down, fix the boots, and they would sheathe everything they used to. Has there been some sort of major change to boot sheathe code to make them seemingly useless? If so I personally think it really needs to be put back to the way it was. If not, and this is just a bug that seems to affect all boots then I suppose I should appologize for posting this thread, as I do not intend it to be a...."Hey fix the bug you immortal people"...I intend it to be more of a..."Put the code back the way it was because the way it is now blows"...sort of thread. Am I the only one having this problem?

If you run into a pair of boots like that, use the bug command.

bug boots The desc says there's a sheath for a knife, but no knives seem to fit in them.

I remember once the code changed and when I pulled my blade from my sheath, I couldn't put it back in. Just bug it. Halaster fixed it up for me.

The new boot script disallows weapons that are not daggers/knives (ie, longknives, jambaya(sp?), shortswords, etc).  Also, it also takes into account the size.  So if you find that a small, regular ol' knife doesn't fit, let us know.

Alternatively, the old boot script was written in a different code program, and it's got a few problems.  We've removed most of them from the boots, and I'll try to remember to take a look at fixing the rest of them tonight.

Ahhh yes. That explains...Actually Halaster did come down and fix that one pair of boots for me hehe...what a Joe eh? But yeah...I have tried multiple types of knives, daggers, longknives...all different types of each of different sized from skinning knives to short shortswords to throwing knives...nothing works. And yes...I bug them in that format every time.

I had this same problem dor a long time.  Eventually, I found a pair that didn't have the problem (I had bugged the first pair, and the second...) and junked the other ones...to get them out of the code database.

what do i do with the four boots that i have that dont sheathe anything?  just junk that shit from the game?

if it reloads, will the bug come back again or will junking it eliminate the problem forever?

Some boots don't have sheathes.

[Bogre]

Yup, but I think we're talking about ones that have a sheath in its desc and stuff, but are buggy and don't work as a sheath.

I've run into at least one pair of boots, that got enterprisingly switched, but a needed parameter wasn't set. This is likely the cause. Bug them, and they'll be reexamined.

And sometimes you are using the wrong command.

Sometimes "load" works for me, and others "put" works.
