Single moltens can be stolen from molten stocks
« on: May 24, 2007, 06:28:52 am »
Certain players in Oja are using a bug to take portions of molten stocks away from other players without their knowlege.    I've seen this happen twice and have evidence for it happening a third time.  I dont know how they do it, but I believe it is a bug of some sort.   I did overhear one of the players bragging about it though.

This gambit is almost always used against inexperienced players, who dont know what happened.

Does anyone know how this is done and how to prevent it?

You can't select an item that is not yours, so I have no idea how this is done. In the next version this problem will be fixed anyway, as the item handling was rewritten from scratch.
We're not evil. We're simply amazing.

I've been told it may be that a person takes only part of the molten stock and puts it into the caster, then if you close and reopen the furnace or caster the partials become available.  I am going to test it when fewer people are around the equipment.

someone unknowingly did this to me too:P. They must have been so caught up smelting bronze stock that they didn't notice some steel stock in their inventory. They were kind enough to give it back when i noticed i was down some stock.

Well if the whole inv system is being rewrit, i guess we'll have much fun prodding it for more bugs  :beta:

can't wait to see the progress  \\o// keep up the good work fellas

EDIT: what you said starg sounds kinda like what mighta happened
