I am running POL 96.1. My servspecopt.cfg file has the following entries:
Code:
#
# DecayItems - Determines if the decay system is enabled or not.
#
DecayItems=1
#
# DefaultDecayTime - minimum number of minutes before movable items decay (are destroyed)
#
DefaultDecayTime=10
I created a robe, made sure it was set to moveable and have left it for over 24 hours lying on the ground and it still remains. I think this might be a bug or else I am misinterpreting the logic for the "DecayItems" setting in the specopt file.

Did you create it on the ground, and never move it? Did you check to make sure the decayat property was set? etc. Please, more info

I used the .create command which creates things on the ground. I never checked the decayat property though. I guess I assumed that created items would have that set to some default value.
I'll write a quick script to check the property and get back to you.

Maud,
Here is my read decay property script:
Code:
use uo;
use os;
include "include/client";
program read_decayat(who)
//
var item := target(who);
SendSysMessage (who, "DecayAt property set to " + item.decayat);
endprogram
It returns a value of 0. If memory serves me this means that the item will never decay. I wasn't aware that the create command set items decayat to 0. I'll look at that script and if it does I'll fix that.

Guess the problem was in the create command.
Thanks for the help Maud. Once again you've come to my rescue.
