Starting Items bug

[John Adams]

Just noticed that when you truncate your character_items table to repop players with Starting Items, the account_id column is not getting set. I don't think it uses it really, because the items are there and working... but just wanted you to know.

A second thing with this, and this may have been intentional, but starting_items populates into character_items each time you zone if you have no inventory. I thought it should be only on initial login... because as we're testing and blowing away our inventories, it keeps coming back like bad luggage.

The account_id field is used for the shared bank and these starting items aren't initially being place in the shared bank, so the field isn't needed.

Good point, I'll try to only check when they initially login.

Ahh, that's right. I think I was thrown off because any item I manually summon or gain via loot/gathering does provide an account ID. I didn't think it mattered, so if you do not, then please ignore the first part.

Thanks again.

It *should* be fixed in the latest (along with a bunch of other item/merchant fixes)

Hehe, merchant fixes?

You're gonna kill me. See my private post about a merchants revamp.
