I’ve developed an issue of sorts. Could be intended, I dunno, but my Elementalism books keep getting stolen. I’ve managed to find a few thief’s and get back stolen stuff, but whenever one yoinks my book and poofs away, they never reappear. Couple times I assume they could have teleported to an out-of-bounds area where I couldn’t reach them, but even in the overworld, they don’t seem to come back with my books.
Is this either something that has an in-game solution like a way to thief-proof items, or can something be tweaked to stop total loss of stolen items with the thief not staying gone for good?
Alternatively, can someone confirm that I am in fact that unlucky and bad at finding thieves? Lol

Unlucky. If thieves steal stuff and end up hiding, there is a chance they are nearby waiting to be found. Eventually they can ride off into the sunset, never to be seen again with the stuff they stole. Thieves do skill checks to see if they can hide, steal, and stealth. So it isn't automatic. Some thieves have high skills while others can have average. If they pass all the required skill checks, there is then a 20% chance they will steal an item from your pack. This design makes thieves, "thieves", instead of the mindless UO versions that only know to "run at character and hit with weapon". In your particular example, they don't steal equipped items so having the spellbook equipped would avoid theft. But that is a very specific situation.
Egads, you can equip them! I swear I tried before but must have had something else already in the slot and wrote it off… neat, thanks!
Question, do thieves actually leave the game at some point, or is there a hidden army wandering my server armed with half full books?
OP
They go in the trinket/talisman slot. On EA's version, they were held in the hand. Djeryv changed it I assume to allow wizards to equip weapons and such while still holding a book. Assuming the book has magical properties when equipped.
Permanently deleted.
Awesome to know! Any chance for a notification for when the thief makes off for good? That way we know when to quit looking, or is there a general 1-minute rule or something?
Spectre - the trap update is awesome. Actually seeing the traps detected now really helps with avoiding them!
Would you consider adding in the automatic loot bag from Confictura? It's a nice QoL change to have random loot that is picked up via the [loot settings to go into a selected container without needing Razor's organizers.

Small request, in the status gump that you get from double-clicking your health bar; can we get a current/total display of max stats? I admit its because I don't want to do math in my head.
Also, about the multi-crafting buttons, I've also noticed that many crafting gumps stack up after a while. No big deal to close them all, just thought you should know

I’ve noticed that the monster races display their clothing in the side slots, would it be possible to do the same for humans wearing robes? It puts belt and pants on the right side, but the chest and arms still require removing the robe to get to
Don't know if you're interested in this bit, but the new crafting buttons don't auto-use the next unbroken tool. gotta close the gump and reopen it with a new tool. Only used it with Tailoring, so I can't say if its just the sewing kits or not.

This is a client layer issue that cannot do what you are expecting it to do. The robe covers a couple of layers no matter if I add icons for it or not. So let's say I made a side icon for a particular chest layer (there are a few of them by the way). As soon as you put on a robe, that icon would disappear until you take the robe off. This is why the two icons you are referencing are on the bottom left and a larger robe icon would cover it when equipped.
Correct. Not every tool is identical and the crafting system ONLY knows the tool you are currently using to craft. You have tools that have different properties at times. This is why I upped the uses to 100 to accommodate the "100" button.
a zero will not work, lowest setting would be 1. You could always add some bonding potions.
Drop this is your scripts folder.
As an additional query. How does one go about increasing the max character limit for names? I can't have the names I want because of the 16 character limit. I tried changing with admin but upon relogging I am prompted to change it again to fit the limit. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Whilst you were looking into the taming/bond setting. I wonder if you would consider enabling the ability to gain taming skill through killing stuff with your pets? For me personally It would certainly make leveling the taming skill less mundane. Again. Many thanks for your awesome work on this project. I am totally in love with this game now.
