Portable Hole Sustinance

My character was very hungry, so I went to buy food at an inn in waterdeep. The shop was closed, but opening in 1 game hour. He was starving, so I didnt want to wander around town, since hunger lowers your regen. I looked away for a few minutes, checking a forum while I waited for the shop to open. My character idled into a portable hole. I brought him back to the world of the living, and he was suddenly neither thirsty nor hungry at all, instead he was too full to eat the stew I bought. I think this is a bug. Either that, or the portable hole is really a soup kitchen in disguise.

Might just be a failsafe to keep characters from dying of starvation if they idle out.

Exactly what it is. However players found doing this on purpose is ofcourse code abuse.

That needs to be changed...

Make it so that people who idle out (easy to check: they are all gathered in the same room) cannot die from thirst/hunger, but they shouldn't be set to full stomach.

As soon as this is fixed in hard code, please let me know and I'll remove the area program that makes them full.

This looks to have been fixed, including the area code. Moving to resolved bugs. Should anyone see signs that going idle does anything other than freeze thirst and hunger levels, please speak up! Thanks.

Still never noticed anyone magically filling up from idling out! I don't think this is happening anymore.
