ServerSpecOpt::ItemColorMask [POL096-2006-03-17]

[MontuZ]

With an ItemColorMask of 0x4FFF. You'll get etheral mounts with the colors; 0x4001 and 0x4002. But on server restart the core changes those colors to 1(Black) and 2(Blue).

I'm just guessing ItemColorMask isn't fully implemented yet?

[MuadDib]

Evidently not eh?

I'll take note to check the color mask during world and final save mate. Just give me some time to get it in.

[MontuZ]

Also if you have an item in itemdesc.cfg with a color of one of those two(0x4002/0x4001) same thing happends.

And take your time.

*Tried creating an item with the color set in itemdesc.cfg as 0x4002 when created color turns out to be 0x2.

*Tried saving an item with the color 0x4002 - Saved correctly.

*Restarted pol. When I logged back on to check the item, color was 0x2.

Imho you can't give the etheal color to an item, only to NPCs.

Are you running a windows or linux core? I ask because i implemented an etheral npc with the color 0x4001 about half a year ago and he never shows the behavior you described. I am using POL096-2006-01-18 (linux).
I will test it on my windows test server with the latest core in the evening.

He is referring to etheral mounts. For that, the mount peice (ship peices) must have color 0x4002, etc, for ethereal while mounted. So it is in fact items he is referring to (hence why the itemcolormask was needed).

[Pierce]

Yes my fault. I know he is talking about rideables, but i never log out on such a mount. The same here even if we do it another way. If i log off on an etheral mount (with no animation) it is black on login after server restart. If i dismount it has its normal etheral color, due to our system. If i mount it again, the mount is etheral. So we never see that behaviour. Cause we do this in tamed.src it is only detectable if the player don't dismount. But he has to, cause otherwise the mount goes wild

Fixed in 096 Final (next release).
