Prisms not working
Description:
Used an axiomic(maybe) Prism and a few rl days later an Ooze prism and neither have been added to my -stream. (edit) Streams are still accessible just not via -stream.
Steps to Reproduce:
Use a prism charged for use
Expected Results:
proper summons added to -stream
Actual Result:
Nothing added to Stream
(Edit) Summons are still accessible just not via -stream
Notes:
Happened at approximately 1:38 Est in the Arcane tower.
Class is Weavemaster so I suspect its lacking coding for this. No big deal for me if it gets fixed but it would have been fun.

Re: Prisms not working
The -command shortcuts are usually the first 3 characters. Try -ooz, idk if that'll work tho. Worth a try.

Re: Prisms not working
That partially worked. I can "activate" the stream by typing it but the slaadi still summons. Typing other random streams to activate them has no result so the system knows I have it partially. Does anyone know the console command for the formians and I can test that too?
Re: Prisms not working
It's an elemental stream. Cast summon 9.

Re: Prisms not working
Oh this whole thing might be me confusing how it works. I thought it was tied into the three planar binding spells for them.
Re: Prisms not working
So for the normal conjuration (Summon IV, etc) type spells, the following streams work
Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Ooze.
Then for the planar streams (Summon Ally and stuff) you get
Celestial, Infernal, Yugoloth, Demon, Mechanus, Slaadi
And then for Dragon Knight feat you get
Red, Silver, Prismatic, Gold, Shadow and Dracolich
Note that Dracolich uses necromancy bonuses instead of conj
The confusion is really common.

Re: Prisms not working
Looks like the streams are still able to be summoned but its just not appearing when I type -stream. I'll update the initial post thanks for helping me figure this out everyone.
Re: Prisms not working
Are the Axiomatic and Ooze prisms your ONLY streams, by any chance?
Because I've seen that before. The original run of streams (fire, water, earth, air, abyssal, infernal, celestial) are the only ones that create the list. Its something like:
Book of Fire
10 create "Elemental" category
20 add -fir stream
Silver Dragon Book
10 create "Dragon" category
20 add -sil stream
whereas the Ooze Prism is just
10 add -ooz stream
I'm not sure how easy to understand this is, basically only the older stream sources actually create the list category, the new ones do not. Use a more generic option and it will add the lists, and those lists will contain the new streams.

Re: Prisms not working
They were. I finally got another stream to add to it and I can see both -Mec and -Slaad. Looks like the issue is what you say.

Re: Prisms not working
This is an issue with some constants falling behind after the addition of the Ooze and the Mechanus streams. A fix is in the pipeline. Thank you all for your own detailed reporting on exactly where you saw and replicated the issue!
Done.
