Smite not replenishing

Post by BcSpike »

Description of Bug Experienced:

According to the change log that was posted on 11-05-2021, smite should now gradually replenish uses every 10 minutes. If I understand the change log correctly, and if the way turn undead works is similar to smite, a use should be replenished 10 real minutes after using it. Currently it does not seem to do so. I've only tried it with smite evil so far so I do not know if smite good has the same problem. After 10 minutes, no uses had been replenished, after waiting another 10 I still didn't get another use. I stayed on the same server for the whole duration. My character does not have extra smiting, so he only gets one use, so perhaps only characters without extra smiting are affected.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:

Cast smite evil on an evil creature, wait 10 minutes.

Expected Result:

A new use of smite evil after 10 minutes.

Actual Result:

No new use of smite evil.

I will try to replicate and fix this.
Has anyone else noticed similar issues?

I just tested this, although to be fair I did it on a wyvern that isn't evil.. Either way, smite is burned and it doesn't show on CD list either.
Tried it on surface.

I'm unsure if this is related, but considering both changes were in the same update, turn undead probably runs of the same replenishment system. I just found out that if you reduce your turn undead uses to zero, the same thing happens and it won't replenish. The button greys out and both divine might and divine shield also won't work anymore.

Interesting observation!
This should help me find what's causing the issue.

Okay, so the 0 uses comment was a great hint for resolving this issue!
Basically what happened was NWN failing to recognize characters which have the feat if they have no uses left - which in turn skipped all the cooldown-related methods.

I've fixed this now, it should be live within the next few days.
