ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Got it after Santascape and dropped it on the storage room of the Sher'Tul fortress at the earliest opportunity.
Sometimes later, I noticed that the axe no longer appeared as when found but sort of degraded to a plain '/',
like its tile was replaced by the equivalent "slash" ASCII graphic tile.

With debug enabled, it seems needing a 'object/axe_pink_evil.png' tile,
but that's not there in either v1.0.0 or v1.0.1 data.

What puzzles me though, is that the axe is seen normally on several "save screenshots",
those you get when saving the game and exiting (I often leave the game with the character at the storage room).
I've loaded a bunch of them and the axe appears as a '/' every time.

It's like the tile was kind of remembered through several saves and then flushed into oblivion...

Any clues?

Special tiles of special events are pushed with the event and placed into a virtual filesystem inside the savefile, so if the object is moved to an other save without the event it cant find it

Uhm, Ok. Not sure I understand this...

Actually, the first time I noticed the difference was loading the character with the v1.0.1
client to see if there were problems... I tested a few things out and didn't touch the v1.0.0 client for some days.
When today I loaded my character with v1.0.0 I was surprised to see that it also didn't display the axe as it's shown in the save screenshot. I was puzzled and "after" noticing the disappearance I rolled back a few complete
directory backups of that character up to when it completed the Santascape event. And was even more suprised to see that the axe wasn't showing up in the backups either.

Anyhow, no big issue. I can survive with the '/' tile for the remaining of the run
Cheers!

Edit:
Essence of Bearness and Heart of Poosh still display normally with that same save directory.

Edit2:
What would happen if I upload this item to the items vault?

Edit3:
I left the fortress, played a bit around and then used the Rod of Recall to get back to the fortress.
Surprisingly, the axe was looking "normal" in the storage room.
Saved and Quit the game. Reloaded after some time, the axe is shown as a '/'.
Left the fortress and explored the Far East a bit more...

[above sequence repeated several times]

For the records:
It seems that upon returning after a trip, the tile is correct.
It's never correct when reloading a save from there...

Don't panic! Keep playing

I'm still getting this bug

the '/' is pink

I am using the latest version of ashes of uh'rhok, stone wardens, badass death messages version 1.2.3, Dwarven Adventurer version 1.1.3(lets dwarf adventurers who donated use stone warden talents), and Breeding Pits Restoration Project version 1.1.5, which seems to work without any issues, and I'm of course using Items Vault version 1.2.0 as well; these are all of my addons.
