Isn't autoloot working properly? I don't know what can be making this happen.

My load is light, it is outdoors during the day.

[ Keyword ] Option
[+AUTOLOOT ] You automatically loot corpses.

Your pierce nearly bisects a frenzied dire rat's chest.
A frenzied dire rat is DEAD!

look in corpse

the corpse of a frenzied dire rat contains:
a rat head (perfect)

Your pierce nearly bisects a kobold sentry's head.
A kobold sentry is DEAD!

look in corpse

You get a electrum coin from the corpse of a kobold sentry.
You get a silver coin from the corpse of a kobold sentry.

look in corpse

the corpse of a kobold sentry contains:
8 copper coins (superb)
a silk headband fanned with dirty feathers (perfect)

Just tested autoloot on the testport, and it seems to be working. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is it possible your PC has all their inventory slots full? That is the most common cause of it not working.

Those never actually loot, I think they're generated on death rather than carried all along.

I don't know.

You give a small harp to a large, chitinous beetle.

Items: 0/5

Your pierce nearly bisects a large, chitinous beetle's head.
A large, chitinous beetle is DEAD!

> look in corpse

the corpse of a large, chitinous beetle contains:
a small harp (perfect)
a piece of beetle chitin (perfect)

The rat heads in particular don't loot because they are a quest item that only generates with a random prog on death. As far as I know, autoloot only works for items in inventory prior to death.

You give a small harp to a large, chitinous beetle.
You give a large, chitinous beetle some money.
A large, chitinous beetle is DEAD!
You get 10 copper coins from the corpse of a large, chitinous beetle.

Sure enough, the harp did not loot, but the coins did.
I'm sorry, I forgot there is a separate AUTOGOLD command. AUTOLOOT has broken before; last time it was a matter of whether the corpse could be seen, but I observed this in both light and dark, and with other test objects on other PCs.

Moving to confirmed.
