Details:
I have added 2 dirks for the troubadour starting items, it will equip the first one, but the second one never shows up. If I give the character another one, I can equip it in dual wield mode manually.

To verify: this only occurs upon initial login right? Because using auto-equip works just fine, as specified in the bug report.

Edit:
Are you using two different item ids for the dual wielders? Maybe we need to make the item_id field in starting_items a non-key if troubs start with two of the same weapons?

This was starting_items had the same item_id that should be equipped into Pri/Sec on character create. The same (I assume) would happen if someone customized 2 ear or 2 finger slot items and they both were trying to go into the 1st slot on create.

What we might need is a "slot" in starting_items that works, where you can say what (valid) slot you want the item to go into. Make it an enum() with all the legal values? something like that.

[Scatman]

That'd be a good idea. Because right now item_id is a unique key so there's no way to really clarify that you want 2 dual wield weapons being equipped as opposed to one.

In the first version of layout files - for housing decorating - there was only that one item_id which, I assume, pointed to the item definition in the DB. The 2nd version of the layout files contained another number which identified each specific item. IDK if this has a bearing, just thought it may.

Huh? Wrong thread or am I missing something (most likely) ?

[Eradani]

Because right now item_id is a unique key so there's no way to....

That's what i was thinking that might pretain to.
