Eden's Guile boot's don't recharge any more

[Postman]

They were recharging before, but now in Dreadfell they don't. Burning star recharge ok. Is t a bug or intended behavior?
PS they were stored in Sher Tul before mulfanction

[Postman]

Choker of Dread seems doesn't recharge either

[gogis]

Had plenty occasional stuff wich not recharge aswell, but it's not specific item related, all my chokers and guiles worked just fine

[Postman]

The thing is, I suspect guile stopped working after being stored in Sher Tul for a while. Seems all artifacts which I wear without taking off are OK. Artifacts which I remove and put again sometimes(?) stop recharging.

I believe I have now fixed it

[deadram]

function _M:regenPower() in /game/engines/default/engine/interface/ObjectActivable.lua doesn't seem to be called for the affected items. I seem to be able to reproduce this bug with either the first or second rechargeable I pick up (with a new char) in b18. Usually ends up being a digger, but sometimes it's been the rod of recall XD

Ohh, but because the in-game description lists values for use_power.power, power, power_regen, and power_max these variables don't seem to be the cause.

I'd be interested to know how it was fixed, for curiosity sake

[darkgod]

Well the only possible cause for this to happen is that the objects are not correctly registered in the Game object.
I added in several places checks to ensure it is so.
That whole subsytem stinks anyway and is slated for rewrite

hummm, my search skills are failing me in middle age XD Any chance to get info on acquiring the svn copy? Just the web address will suffice Might even put in the effort to make it a wiki page for the tip

Last thread on the last page of the Development forum. Or, if you look at it another way, the first thread....

I didn't feel like going over the diff of the svn and b18, so here's my fix. It will restore entities (make items recharge) when you wear, take off, or pick up any item. If you just change the lua file, and load your game, drop and pick-up an item and save, then restore the old file (hurm... now even I'm confused )... You'll fix your broken recharging items, and be able to do the profile uploady thing... until an item breaks again XD
