Items Disappearing

[thewalkingbox]

Hokay I did the obligatory search for 'Disspaearing items" in this part of the forum and didn't come up with anything so if this quey has alreayd been addressed well Blame the search function

Anyways,
For some bizarre reason in 1.27 I've been having issues with items idsspearing. For example Betty (my main character) carries a p90 around and one time I double clicked it to reload it (Compulsive reloader) and it dissapeared like a used stimpack of course there was a fair bit of coarse vulgarities and expletives afterward. (I forget which mission but I recall it been not long after teh p90 was found DEFINTLY before bunker delta)

Also in Oscaella I was piling up .50cal (alongside every other stealable item in the map) all in the same spot when suddenley I check shriek again and the 2500+ .50cal rounds dissapeared and are reduced to the 140 he was carrying.

Has anyone else spotted these bugs?
Is their any work arounds sides saving reloading and more saving and reloading?

Not encountered and haven't been able to recreate them.

But for a start you don't need to double click to reload, just left click once on a weapon and you'll reload it. Are you sure nothing else happened (like an explosion) that might of made the character drop the weapon?

As for the disappearing ammo, are you piling them up on the ground? If so have you removed all the other items from that spot? If you drop indentical items on the same spot they'll merge, but other items may obscure them. If you try picking everything up you might find the ammo hidden underneath, especially if you had dropped some (of the same type) there earlier.

When I played through to see how much I could find I would put one character on the exit grid and then load them up with all the stuff from a map while all the rest of the squad fetched and carried.

Otherwise are all the opponents dead? I know that they'll pick up a weapon if carrying some ammo that the weapon uses, but I can't remember if they'll pick up spare ammo for their weapons.

It's spelt "Disappearing Items", but meh.

Crapsticks THEY Merge?
Well that complicates matters a bit.
Anyways I'm pretty sure the map was empty bar my six characters and I was STANDING right next to the piles of goodies.
Hmm I'll try the passing over the line trick next time.

Perhaps stack would be a better term. But say you drop 50 rounds of ammo and then a BFG in the same spot. Depending on the graphic the gun will hide the ammo, but if you drop more of the same type of ammo in the same place instead of appearing above/in front of the gun it'll stack with the previous amount so it'll probably appear to disappear.
