Also, anyone care to look at the gem-eating armor script?

1) Gems still shatter on the first hit, even something like a diamond.

2) I can’t bless my hauberk, it seems the flare slot is still being blocked even after the padding changes.

3) Bring back manually changing gems, even if it destroys the gem! 🙂

The GM is no longer on staff that created them. I also did a lot of the fixes on these due to the GM being largely unavailable after they were released, so I’ll see if I can nail down the bug.

Okay, fixed the bug with padding taking the flare spot, however these armors are magic resistant. You could technically have flares added.

I cannot reproduce the gem shattering on first swing at all. I know this has been reported several times, but there must be something else at play that I would need to introduce to the testing. The timer on them is a real world timer, so being offline does reduce the timer. That’s the only thing I can think of, in which case, is intended as it currently stands.

Prying a gem out isn’t possible.

Thanks for taking another swing at these Wyrom, I remember when you did with the initial release. Its much appreciated!

I’ll be using the hauberk again this DR in the arena, so I’ll post if I see any wackiness.

I updated a lot with the gem-eating ability. There was a lot of repeated code, so I’m hoping that it’s a fluke there. There are only 3 things that can really cause the gem to shatter. It’s out of uses, it expired, or logging out for several hours (which technically is expiring). This is all based on the gem value.

Yeah, when it happened before it was with uncut diamonds that shattered within say 20 minutes on the first hit. I’ll keep an eye out for sure. Many thanks!

I guess I need to start doing research with it, I only know gems for 10 of the padding/resists lol. 🙂
