looting question

[Jack Rackham]

I really like the new looting interface. There is only one minor mismatch. I meet an enemy (in Rdm Dungeon) and he has as far as I can see a shotgun of some kind. When I check his items there is just this simple pistol1. A problem, yes because I´m equipping everyone with the appropriate ammunition. Where is he equipped, is it in LAi_equip?

A shotgun? There are no shotguns in the game at all! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
It might either have been a musket, musketoon, or most likely, a blunderbuss. If it was a blunderbuss, it might have blown up in his face before you could loot him. That's all I can think of at the moment... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Pieter, I may have used the word "shotgun" in a wrong way. I am well aware that there are only the bbuss, mtoon & the mket in the game.
The point is: when looting an enemy with either a throwing knife or this bbuss (I think) he will in both cases instead have a short pistol. May it be so that CCC pistollike items behave this way?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Uhm. For all I know, they shouldn't behave this way. I don't know why this happens. Someone help please!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

Well, I've noticed that discrepancy too, however I've written it off as due to the mod where you only pick up items (when looting) that are above a certain level of quality. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> I'm guessing if you "turn off" that mod and was able to pick up EVERY quality (or lack of quality) item you would actually get whatever they were carrying or shot at you with! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/slap.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":slap" border="0" alt="slap.gif" />

Yes, once quality of weapon is taken into account, then CCC's weapons are skipped because they are not part of the weapons mod.

Perhaps that is what is happening.
