Lost Arrows...

Post by Rhytania » Sun Jan 04, 2004 5:18 am

If this goes in the bug section then please move, I wasnt sure to post here or there...

Anyway, it seems that when I flecth an arrow if I have another of the same wood and feather in my inventory one cancels the other out...I noticed this when I did 5 arrows but only had 1 arrow to put in my quiver...is it a bug or something that I should have known better but didnt?
thanks,

Just as a post here, is it possible to make things like containers or staves into something that cannot be used for fletching? Things like a wooden chest, or a staff of wood.

Other wood working than for fletching

A sort of 'Fletch stave' or 'Fletch crate' kind of command?

Not sure that the code for fletching would support that, or that it should.

The quests for learning the Fletching trade are quite specifically linked to the making of arrows or bolts. IE would have to be changed radically, along with a similar change to the code, in order for this to work.

For the making of wooden weapons and containers, the Construct command is probably better suited.
However, I would envisage a separate trade of Woodworking to cover this... perhaps then expanding into a Bowyer's trade for making bows and crossbows.

Sorry Ursan, you got me wrong. I posted that to make it NOT possible for staves and crates to be used as components for fletch. It happened to me before, and it seemed fairly... unrealistic, if anything else.

Hit the wrong target...

Apologies Llanthyr, though in my defence I'm a little short on sleep lately... and your posts do tend towards the short and sweet.

I may repost in a separate thread though.... the idea of a woodworking Trade might bear discussion.

Thanks for prompting my tired brain
