Unable to hold more than one item.

[DracoDanube]

Hello,

I used to be able to do this but now I can't.

I am unable to put more than one item in my hand. For example I can't put more than one steel stock in my hand when using the anvil.

Any ideas?


I have asked people in game and searched on this web site under:
    "Unable to hold more than one item"
    "more than one"  (too many results)
    "more than one item"

on this web site.

If this question has already been answered could you tell me what search criteria you used.

This should be in the in-game bugs section.

Either way some more information would be handy. What exactly happens when you try to equip more than one stock? It just doesn't work or does it give a message or what?

Lag can sometimes cause you not to see that you equiped your items but in fact you did equip them. So make sure you wait long enough before thinking it is a bug.

Do your items stack in the inventory? If not then there is the problem .. sometimes we still have items of the same kind not stacking because of various irregularities. If they won't stack in your inventory you can't stack them in your hands either of course.

If you know all there is to know about your problem and have repeatedly tried it you should report it as a bug.

So far I don't know anyone who complained about this though so it's odd.

As requested, more information. Shall I go ahead and issue this as a bug report?

Description:
=============

I used to be able to do this but now I can't.

I am unable to put more than one item in my hand. For example I can't
put more than one steel stock in my hand when using the anvil.

I posted this text on the PS forum:
http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=27371.0




Test case:
==========

- From the inventory window, drag more than one steel stock over to
  the right hand.




Result:
=======

Only one item is added to the hand.

System tab does not generate an error.




Back trace:
===========

I ran psclient from the command line to see if there were any
errors. psclient generates a lot of these:

   Got DR message for unknown entity nnnn.


For example, immediately after starting PS, then while I am standing
near the Harnquist's Forge I get:

<src/client/psclientdr.cpp:196 HandleDeadReckon>:
  Got DR message for unknown entity 2413.
  Got DR message for unknown entity 2305.
   Got DR message for unknown entity 162.

crystalspace.graphics3d.shader.fixed:
  Multitexture units: moderate 4

<src/client/psclientdr.cpp:196 HandleDeadReckon>:
  Got DR message for unknown entity 2305.
  Got DR message for unknown entity 2489.
  Got DR message for unknown entity 94.
  Got DR message for unknown entity 94.




Additional information:
=======================

Zan asked me if items stack in inventory?

Some times they do some times they don't. A batch of steel stocks I
made at Trasko Starhammer's shop will not stack on top of a batch I
made at Harnquist's and visa-versa.

The system tab in the communications window states:

   You cannot place this object in your inventory!

I have downloaded 3018 and the problem is the same.

I checked my bug report's status in the bug tracker and it has been marked as a: 'feature request'

Sigh.
