Stream-Book broken: Book of the Longest Winter

Post by SCP-079 » Mon Sep 13, 2021 4:43 pm

Description
==========
The stream-book "Book of the Longest Winter" does not seem to function as intended:

1) When used to summon a creature, it summons a Celestial Dog

2) When used to learn its stream, it is consumed and removed from inventory as other stream-books and the combat log displays the following:

"You have learned the Outsider - Eladrin summon stream. Use the -stream menu to activate it."

However, when opening the stream menu with the -stream command, no new stream is listed in the menu. Attempting to use -ela to quick-select the stream does not work, either (the command registers as invalid).


Steps to reproduce
----------------------------

1. Get a "Book of the Longest Winter"
2. Use the book to summon a creature / learn its stream


Expected result
-----------------------

Have a new stream added to your -stream menu.


Actual result
-------------------

No stream is added.

Thanks for the report, will get fixed soon!
Unfortunately books looted before the fix is live will not work as intended, even afterwards.

Thanks for the quick fix! :)

Now it works like a charm.

Also, it seems that books from before the fix will work, after all, if you put them in a fixture bookshelf and then take them back out. At least that worked for me.

Unfortunately I have to bump this, I got a book from a bookshelf in a dungeon, and without placing it in a bookcase or bookbag and just trying to read it, I do not get the stream added to my -stream options. After a chat with Kalopsia in PM they say:

When you find one, put it in a book bag and retrieve it before using it :) That will work in any case!
However, if you don't do this, it doesn't seem to work, so would it be possible that this could be moved back to open bugs?

Please let me know if you need more information!

Recently looted the book (about 2-3 days ago). It won't proc the menu that asks if you want to consume it to learn a stream.
