Mob died from bloodloss carry no items/coins

Postby Yasik » Tue Feb 26, 2013 1:41 am

Mob dies from blood loss, almost never happens, but where's the loot? No items or coins, is this how it should be or is it bug?

I checked to make sure there were no caches. I couldn't find any reason the mob should load empty.

I checked too, those mobs never had any caches, coins and eq always loaded on mobs.
I believe this is somehow related that I had summons, who participated in fight and finished this particular mob.
Also, there's times, when Autokill is ON, but I dont finish mob automatically with attacks (must "kill mob" additionally when its stunned/morted), and spells/skills without target says "Nobody here by that name.", as if Autokill is OFF.
On lower levels this problem happens a lot, on higher - rarely.

One theory is that something interupts the transfer of the coins/objs from the mobile to the corpse, whether it be pet related or autokill.

Or a cache gets created and then somehow destroyed?

Or someone stole all the coins from the mob?

In any case, you'd prolly need to send more details to a coder. You say it happens all the time at low levels, but I make many test chars and haven't run across this yet.

This is definately related to pets. Despite autokill being on, you and your pet will both stop fighting if your pet lands the blow that morts a mob.

It is less noticable at high levels because you usually have more pets. You and the first pet are pulled out of the fight, but the remaining pets are still fighting and finish it off.

No idea about the missing coins issue. I have had it happen to me, (rarely) also on bloodloss. To clarify, bloodloss usually doesn't have this affect, but every time I've gotten no coins, it has been after bloodloss.

Other causes of no coins are: someone killed the mob while ptesting, or someone charmed the mob. I think it's nearly impossible to steal every coin from a mob. (Diminishing returns)

Unrelated: Is bloodloss neccessary? Bloodloss instantly or a few seconds after becoming morted happens frequently, mainly griefing newbies who don't deal enough damage to land killing blows. If a mob was immune to bloodloss for the first minute, that'd help the little people.

I wonder if when pet morts target, mud checks to see if pet has autokill on (which an npc never can), instead of checking player. I'll submit it to the bugs list and someone will take a crack at it when they get a chance.

Sounds like the big prob with bloodloss is the bug u mention. If the follower/autokill bug wasn't confusing the player by ceasing combat after mob is morted by the pet it wouldn't matter so much. Another 10 secs wouldn't hurt either.

I made some changes, keep an eye out and see if it has any affects.

If you are not engaged and your pet morts a creature, autokill will not work but if you are engaged and the pet gets last hit, hopefully now you will continue through the fight.

I lowered Bloodloss a few years ago because of the reasons in the previous post but lowered it again.

Changes in next reboot,

Made an example log to illustrate the situation. Me and my ghost, few minutes ago - ghost morted the mob, and all fight stopped, so I had to issue a command 'kill mob', while by design of Autokill I shouldn't.

Re: Mob died from bloodloss carry no items/coins

The change I made must not of worked and the issue is much deeper, such as your character is not the primary person engaged. Changing this will have some unwanted changes, such as you will take more damage than your mobs will.

I am not sure you guys really want this fixed, if the results are what I previously mentioned and figuring out a fix where this does not occur is not going to be easy and will take quite a bit of time and debugging. Time I just do not have atm.
