[38c] Caravan left, items were reported as stolen
« on: April 11, 2008, 06:49:00 pm »

A kobold thief was shot to death by caravan guards as they were leaving. When the caravan left the map shortly afterward, I received an announcement spam notifying me that a thief had stolen an enormous amount of items. I received similar spams several more times, so I assume that the game thought the items that left with the caravan had been stolen by thieves, unless Kobolds can carry a small warehouse on their backs, which I doubt.

I don't have a save prior to this. I was also mucking about with the "Tile Editor" module in the Tweak utility to change parts of a river into magma, but I don't think that had anything to do with this.

Hey, by the way, when you use that Tile Editor module, it changes the temperature of a tile to 0 _unless_ you change the 0 to a new temperature (use 10050, that's basically room temperature)

Evidently you got a very bad deal on your trade.

See if your broker has any "Has been robbed blind by greedy merchants" thoughts XD

It just happened again, with the Elven caravan, when there were no kobolds around. I think I figured out the problem, too.

I have an evil race modded in (which I wasn't using at the time). To make the sieging "friendly" races more interesting for the evil race, I added [ITEM_THIEF] to one or two of them.

Apparently, allied races with [ITEM_THIEF] are reported to have stolen items when the caravans leave the map.

Worthy of the bugs list, maybe?
