Some food not working

Post by Jemrada »

Well really one that I can see at the moment. It is my steaks. I am unable to eat them and when they are put into the house your time to stay alive doesn't go up. It is like it is an item that isn't food. Any ideas on what to do?

Have you renamed the items at all? (i.e. do you have a file called Data\itemnames.txt in your server folder). Most likely reason i can think of is that the names arent aligned with the corresponding item definitions..
If you have renamed stuff, can u put up a copy & paste of your itemnames.txt file so we can check its ordered correctly.

yeh looks good to me too..
mmm.. Its not just stopping u eating em coz ur not hungry is it?
The time to die in house wouldnt necessarily go up when u add more food if the reason for your death is thirst or neglect rather than hunger..
Assuming no-one else is having this problem it might be a thing ill have to look at on your isle sometime.

i've noticed a thing where sometimes if you're only a <i>little</i> hungry or thirsty - ie you have some hunger but it's less than the gain you'd recieve by eating or drinking the item - it won't let you. you have to wait until you're additionally hungry.

if this sounds like it might be the case, grant yourself an item that has less "hunger subtracting benefits" and try that. or just wait till your hunger goes up a bit further.

was testing this on the island and was eating steaks fine while in-home.

he had other foods in his house too though, so his character might just be eating the other foods before getting hungrey enough to eat the steaks

in my limited experience with it, i do kinda remember the more "powerful" item (steaks, tea, etc) always being used last.

often i'd come back to an island and think "awesome! i haven't even gone through any steaks yet, don't need to worry about food for awhile still."

okay maybe i wouldn't think it exactly like that, heh.

anyway it makes me suspect that it's somethin like the above, where the autofeed tries to find the item that matches closest what level of hunger you have, and/or just picks the crap items first maybe.

if jem's curious, i guess one way to test which is closer to the truth of the matter would be jacking the hunger increase rate way up, and see if it starts going for the steaks instead.

then again it prolly doesn't really matter all that much... 8)
