Mining/Smelting Problem

I was mining near Minoc (mining camp) and smelting as I was going - firstly I got all different colours of metal from the one spot and secondly when I smelted Iron and Dull Copper it appears the Dull Copper combines with the Iron and I now have heaps of Dull Copper and no Iron. Is this normal?

This occured near the cave mouth and along that first ridge near the camp.

Your UOX3 Version V0.98-3.7
Your Razor Version V.1.0.11
Your UO Client Version 4.0.11c
Exactly what steps led up to your specific problem - mining at mining camp near Minoc.
Have you re-started the server - Yes
Has this happened multiple times / to multiple people? Not yet.
Anything else of importance.

Ah, I just remember something... we haven't updated the main download in quite some time, so you might avoid a lot of issues and bugs by downloading the experimental version instead... it has all the latest updates.

Backup the stuff you've done already (custom dfns, scripts, accounts, the shared folder which holds data for all items and npcs) and just replace your entire UOX3 folder with the experimental one.

I was mining near Britain tonight and it happened again - I got all ore types from one spot. I also smelted them all at a forge nearby and afterwards I could not find the normal iron ore ingots. So I mined again and smelted the iron ore first (10 ingots), then I smelted th dull copper amd ended up with 30 dull copper (s/be 20 ingots) and no iron ore ingots.
Incidently, the ingots don't auto stack with the previous smelt (they do stack when added manually. Also it was equally easy to smelt all ore types, meaning I didn't fail once even with Valorite.

I'll do some more testing later on.

It appears that iron ore ingots are combined with the next ore type smelted as it happened with Verite this time.

Also I haven't come across any Goldeen Ore in th mix.

Bug confirmed in 0.98-4.0.

If I first melt some iron ore, so I get iron ingots in my backpack, smelting a different type of ore, say copper, the newly created copper ingots will stack with the iron ingots and turn them into copper ingots.

Ok, I have a fix that I'll commit soon.
