Autopickup having issues?

Post by SilverNexus »

Some weird things seem to be happening on the Metalforge server regarding autopickup.
Among these, as I have discovered, are:
  • All the checkboxes start enabled (rather than disabled)
    When any of the boxes are changed from the default values, any item you step on is listed with detailed information and flags in the message box
While not detrimental to the functionality of the game, it just gets annoying to see the information in the message box on every single item.

If this is, in fact, client related, rather than server related, then it applies to both the trunk revision of the client and the Windows snapshot release of the client, at minimum.

I'm not seeing this issue with the latest trunk client from SVN (r18461) when playing on the trunk server (r18489) and the metalforge server while using Xubuntu 12.04.

I was using the trunk client (r18496) on Ubuntu 10.10, while someone I know who encountered the same problem was using the 1.60.2 Windows client snapshot on Windows XP. and playing on the Metalforge server when this happened. It did not occur on the trunk server.

If I recall correctly, it did not happen a few weeks ago. It just started more recently, for no real reason.

If nothing is done to the autopickup check-boxes, it acts the exact same way as any other server: nothing (this would be because the "Don't Pickup" box is included in the every box starting enabled). It only creates a nuisance when the check-boxes are changed, particularly when "Don't Pickup" is unchecked. Then it automatically gives information in the nessage box about the top (and sometimes every) item in whatever stack the player stands on. Note that it does not give information about floors in this manner.
