Bug:Item Dwarfs

[LinkN64]

I was playing and I went to Harnquist. All of a sudden the book and shovel were dwarfs! then in the middle there was a dwarf titled Ruby Crystals. Then it crashed,wouldn\'t let me back on,and took all of my items.(NOOOOOO!!!!!)

What did your mother tell you about eating those wild mushrooms...

I\'m serious,it was so strange...

Everything can be summed up with two words:  under development.  Planeshift is under development and is practically being modified daily to add additional features or content or to fix bugs introduced by adding new features and content.

The dwarf is a default model that is used for items that a specific model can not be found for.  Possibly we are seeing this now as a result of the devs modifying and recategorizing items in preparation for new features, perhaps smelting and crafting .  Only thing we can do is be patient.

In reference to your other thread: (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=21804&boardid=32&sid=1d864a106b5721e2719eaa0023160e23), it is not strictly a Mac specific problem.  Refer back to my first paragraph.

Seems that something is being touched at the server.

As you probably have seen with waybreads when you were able to play normally the game, the dwarf model has been used as a default one for some objects.
Possibly thats what happened when you were looking at those objects, simply loaded the default model, and like waybreads, they looked like dwarves.
Nothing to worry about, at least, not at this moment.

Couldn\'t have said it better myself.  

I guess great minds really do think alike.

As far as I have understood, something has been modified in the server in order to identify some corrupted data. This is causing some little trouble at the moment but it should be a transition for a better system.
