Mining bug, also effects other things
 

Well this bug is annoying, basically in the mines, rocks appear on top of eachother on occasion. What this does, is when a player hits the rock, it won't even look like they are breaking it down, because there is another rock on top of it, that can't be broken. So basically you have to mine rocks that you can't even see the status of. Like another rock image is laying over the rock you are breaking. I have seen many minerals and half broken rocks get left behind this way.

Also, another thing I noticed in the mines, is that occasionally minerals just disappear when you finish mining a rock. What is happening, I believe, is that the mineral is "jumping" over to another mineral in the level, as to combine them.

For example, sometimes when I mine, I end up getting nothing, and other times, I end up getting 2 minerals. I think this is a bug having to do with the item drop thing where when you drop items near eachother, they group together.

Last but not least, the top left corner of the mines never has any rocks like it used to. I don't know if this is intentional, or what, but it would be nice if it dropped some there.

The "minerals droping ontop of eachother" bug SHOULD be fixed... I'll look at it more when the NPC server is back up.

I added a few more drop points in the upper left to give rocks a better chance of landing there.

Okay cool. Any news on the mineral jumping thing? It's happened a lot lately. I think that dropping thing is a little too inprecise anyway. You can drop an item like 10 tiles away and it will jump onto another item. It should be more like 2k1 gralats where you have to be really close to lay an item on another.

The jumping thing is another 'feature' that's built into the mudlib. I can't do anything about it.
