Item Containers Scrambling (Bookbags, etc)

Post by Miaou »

Description of Bug Experienced:
Since the server was updated to .16, I've noticed item containers have been acting very strangely. At first I thought it was resorting from newer items on the first page, but now I've realized it's shuffling items randomly.

Containers I've been able to notice this on are bookbags and gem pouches. It used to be that new items would go to the back (I wish it was the front instead), but now the inventories are basically randomizing.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Use an item container, put items in it.

Expected Result:
Items get placed in the final page, last listed item.

Actual Result:
Randomized location, container scrambles.

Screenshot(s)

Additional Information/Notes
Has happened since the server .16 update.

Still a major problem, that makes book bags really really really hard to use if you have more than one page of books. Less of an issue on other bags as they tend to have no more than 2-3 pages, but it is easy to get far more books since they're unique names.

Still happening, I tried to organize my gem bag today, before noticing they weren't in order.
Image Order they went in.
Image Order they ended up in, and there were none in there already.

We're aware, due to a change in how indexing works in 8193.16, this will require a less-than-straightforward fix. We ask that you be patient! Thank you!

After that reset I also got an issue where scrolls were sold from my second scroll case, the one lower in my inventory, instead than from the first one.

It may be related or not but I am putting it here and keeping watch on it.

With the recent update of the containers (content is displayed alphabetically) this issue is fixed.
