Problem with stealing (Black Gate)

Post by Ashley Penney »

Hi,

Slight problem here, but I'm not sure if it's the engine or just the actual
game. I'm finding that after I defeat enemies, and take their items, my
party members abandon me as a thief.

Surely anything won in combat is fair game? I encounted four knights in
the woods around Yew, and after defeating them, tried to eat their food.

Dupre abandoned me at this point. In fact, it's happened with food before,
so perhaps the problem lies within the food handling code. I took all of
their armour for my party without a problem.

Has anyone else encountered this?

There's been problems with the stealing/not-stealing code for a long
time, although it's been tweaked back and forth a couple times.
What version are you using? I'd hate for this to have reappeared.

Yes, it is an old bug, but I can't get it to happen anymore. If you submit a bug with a savegame at the area, I'll take a look.

I've had a similar problem, but the thing about it I've noticed that's changed from the origional, is your members won't forgive you after some time has passed. Is there a way to change this?

I've filed a bug on sourceforge (#500518 (and #500515, I managed to create a duplicate bug.))

Thanks!
