Syntaxes: Load knife belt. ?

[Dracul]

help load>
LOAD                                                            (Equipment)

  This command allows your character to load various objects with other
objects. Presently, it can be used with crossbows, slings, and sheaths.
Syntax varies slightly, depending on the object.
  For crossbows and slings, the weapon and the projectile must both be in
your character's inventory for this command to work.
  For sheaths, the sheath must be worn on the appropriate location on
your character and the weapon to be loaded into the sheath must be in your
character's inventory.

Syntax:
  load crossbow <bolt>
  load sling <bullet>
  load <weapon> sheath

Examples:
  > get crossbow backpack
  > get bolt backpack
  > load crossbow bolt
  > ep crossbow

  > get sling backpack
  > get stone backpack
  > load sling stone
  > ep sling

  > wear wristsheath
  > get knife backpack
  > load knife wristsheath

l belt>
Made of leather, it has three small 'pouches' that can be used to
conveniently house small knives.


a leather knife belt

Okay, so Im pretty sure that sums things up with no IC info...now. I got it a long time ago...but Ive forgotten the code to actually load knife into a belt, wristsheath, etc. Help?

>load knife wristsheathe

>hold knife
>sheathe knife belt

Not all knives are loadable (to my knowledge), so that may be the problem. If you encounter one that doesn't work with the laid out syntax:

load (knife) wristsheath

and when looking at the item, see no reason why it wouldn't be able to, (size and protrusions are often reasons) then you should bug the item. Or idea it. Since its an idea and not a bug really.

on this subject, if I have a skinning knife . . . that I can't skin with...
is that a bug, a typo, or a idea?

the knife says "skinning" in the desc, but not in the assess, and when I EP it and try to skin, I can't.

[Delirium]

Going to take a wild stab and say typo.

That's what I'd use, since it's a problem with the object itself and not necessarily a bug with the game. Might be wrong though.

Also regarding the load issue - experience tells me that the knife has to be UNweilded and NOT being "held" for you to use the load command on it.

It is possible that your sheath is not coded as a sheath, but a normal container.  Try using the 'put' command to get your knife into the sheath.  If you are able to do so, while wearing the sheath, this is probably the case.  Remove the sheath, use the bug command targetting the sheath.

Now, if the knifebelt you have mentioned is the sheath item you are talking about, don't bother.  It has pouches, not sheathes, as far as the description goes.  That is probably a normal container by design.

I would simply consent to this...but I remember with previous characters being able to load knives in it.   (the echo being something like "and you load it with a SNAP" etc)  ...and it is also a container.

It may have been a code change...or something like that. etc.

There may be two similar items.

You stop using a dusty forked dagger.

87/87 86/86 105/111 walking>load forked belt
You load a forked dagger into a leather knife-belt with a *snap*.

And I've found it with the character in between the current one and that I've had problems.  It may simply be a code change...thats why I put it here.




edit:  ooooh wait...I noticed a difference.   the dash between knife-belt (the old) versus knife belt the new.   No way....lol...:X

[Agent_137]

that's great, i'd typo the new one. I mean, honestly. That's kind of silly.
