ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I love playing the Alchemist with the golem but noticed a serious bug. If you go to the golem command screen and tell the golem you wish to change its equipment then click on any of the equipment (weapons, armor) it will duplicate the item and replace whatever was last in the slot (if anything). You can drag and drop it to the slot and then it won't duplicate/replace as well as if you switch to the golem and change the inventory as the golem it doesn't do the duplicate/replace bug.

Additionally, noticed things randomly vanish (usually the plot items/artifacts like the recall rod) when the duplicate bug hits.

This has been reproducible after a uninstall and re-install. The item is duplicated completely. If you take 1 of the armors back into your inventory then say add a gem to it, ALL the duplicated armors have the same gem.

Just screwed up my best game to date by forgetting about the bug when I got a drakeskin armor drop (while at level 12) and quickly had the golem switch to the new armor (causing a duplicate) and lost my plot item that lets me identify anything picked up... -Sad Panda-


Hopefully in the next revision you can find this bug and remove it please...

Side note: Is there a way to use just 1 gem when installing it to the golem instead of losing the whole stack of that gem?

I can't reproduce this By the command menu you mean the "interact with golem talent" and selecing "I want to change your equipment" right? In this menu both dragging and clicking -> wield/wear seems to work for me.

Did you manage to reproduce it on a newly created character too? And have you put gems in the armors that bug out or anything like that?

Regarding your side note, I'm pretty sure it isnt possible at the moment, what I usually do is transfer gems I eventually want to put into gems into the golem as soon as I can, so I have at least one gem on my gem and can put the stack from my character in the other eye.

That was how I would do it and yes, newly created character can do it as well.

Step by step what I did. (will do it on my second monitor as I type this.)
1.) Created a human Cornac, Selected Alchemist under mage, Test Dummy for name
2.) Sat points
3.) Interact with Golem selected
4.) Change Equipment
5.) Remove armor (yes take it off)... and hmm it's gone. 0.o That's a new one
5a.) Found it in the human's inventory... transferred back to Golem
6.) Interact with Golem selected (then change equipment again)
7.) Click on armor and selected Wear/wield
8.) Armor remains in the golems inventory while a duplicate appears ON the golem.
9.) click and drag armor on golem into the golem's inventory (2 are now there).
10.) Click on either armor and select Wear/wield. Again armor remains there in inventory while a duplicate appears ON the golem.
11.) Can wash and repeat this as much as I want.

Once duplicated, say I did it 3 or 4 times I can transfer 1 of the duplicated armors to the human then install a gem to it. ALL of the armors on the golem as well as the one on the human now have the same gem. I can then sell each armor separately if I wish or transmogrify it.

That's a good idea and too bad you can't separate stacks yet.

UPDATE: Just turned off ALL addons and discovered the bug disappears. This bug looks like it isn't in the TOM'E coding but in an addon. Once I locate the addon that causes it, I'll post it here then post in the correct addon's forum what is going on.

Thanks Sebsebeleb for giving me the idea to turn them off by not having this issue! xD!! (Ishould have thought of this before posting there was a bug... )
