Backpack/weight bug?

Post by Osprey »

It seems that I can put a hell of a lot of weight in my backpack (in the order of 1300 stones or at least 200 ore). I managed to stand in one spot and mine 4 different sites without emptying my backpack or smelting the ore. I wasn't able to move to try and add more although I did do it several times by emtying most of it and making several trips to deposit it. However, with an allowable weight of 390 stones I had to empty my backpack down to 330 stones otherwise I would lose stamina very fast.

As I recall, on OSI you were allowed to fit as much in your backpack as you wanted, you just couldn't move.

So as long as you are losing stamina when you attempt to move, I think it is working properly. Or am I off on this?

Yes and no! UO let's you have an overweight pack BUT if it's overweight by, say, less than 10 stones you carry it for quite a distance without losing stamina! If you're over by, say, more than 10 stones then you start losing stamina (whilst moving). After an overload of say 40 stones it will not allow you to accept anymore weight! ie you "lose" the ore (or whatever) to the ground where it decays immediately.

However, if you have a full pack, or slightly over in the case of very strong chars you can carry that full pack for a good distance without losing stamina. My query is regards a pack "limit" of 390 stones yet having to drop weight to 330 stones to not lose stamina whilst moving!

The current state of OSI shards is something I am still pretty familiar with. only quit a few weeks ago.

My character has just about every stat buff you can get on an OSI shard so I was able to actually hit multiple caps and play with it.

stat cap 225
with 6 month bonus 230
with +25 power scroll 255

effect to individual caps is the same

125, 130, 155 I believe

I managed with items to get 150 Str and 150 Dex with a 34 Int

so my total carrying capacity was 625 Stones however I could never load more than 617 into my pack. The pack itself has a weight limit on it. I think they changed that back with AoS.

I think we define in the actual source-code how much containers/backpacks can hold. At least, I seem to recall seeing such an entry at one point.
