There is a comment above the list when you do Choose Object "Must have a 'wear' flag set". Do those objects have that flag set?

The ultimate problem I'm having is that all objects with a wear flag after 'flag19' do not appear in the 'Choose object' box after clicking the equip button. Maybe this is built into area editor?


You are right, it is hard-coded, sorry. See this part:


  switch (m_iItemType)
    {
    case eAny: bUseThis = true; break;
    case eShopItem: bUseThis = object->cost > 0; break;
    case eWearItem: bUseThis = (object->wear_flags &
                                (
                                ITEM_WEAR_FINGER	  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_NECK		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_BODY		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_HEAD		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_LEGS		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_FEET		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_HANDS		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_ARMS		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_SHIELD	  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_ABOUT		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_WAIST		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_WRIST		  |
                                ITEM_WIELD		      |
                                ITEM_HOLD		        |
                                ITEM_DUAL_WIELD		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_EARS		  |
                                ITEM_WEAR_EYES		  |
                                ITEM_MISSILE_WIELD  
                                )) != 0; break;
    case eTakeItem: bUseThis = (object->wear_flags & ITEM_TAKE) != 0; break;
    case eContainerItem: bUseThis = object->item_type == ITEM_CONTAINER; break;
    }   // end of switch


As a work-around all I can suggest doing is add one of those wear types, as well as the one you want (eg. HOLD).

Thanks for all your help Nick, much appreciated.

I'm sure this has been answered somewhere, but do you plan on releasing any updates/patches or newer versions of Area Editor?

Also, in reference to this issue . . . I've expanded a little on your 'work around.' So for anyone else who may experience the issue, here's what you can do:

Workaround

  1. Edit an object's wear flags - Add the take wear flag, your desired wear flag, and the head wear flag (as head is likely to be at the top of most, if not all config files) to an object.
  2. Equipping - Equip the object on the desired mobile and choose the desired wear location (eg. wield if you're equipping a dagger). This will successfully create the reset.
  3. Return to the object - Remove the unnecessary wear flag. Which if followed from above would be the head wear flag.
  4. Save - The reset will work as desired, Area Editor will not view this as an error. And your mobile will be happy!

I don't have any immediate plans to release a new version. The source is publicly available if anyone wants to amend it to suit their own MUDs. I know it already doesn't support the nested resets in FUSS SMAUG which is quite fiddly to add.

Your idea for making the resets work is ingenious. The code I posted above is only used to populate the combo box for when you choose where to put the item, so removing the flag as you suggest won't cause any problems.
