where: endirspoint indoors
when: just now
what:

so when doing my buying, melting, selling, storing routine of metals I encounterd this bug

Sudenly the conversation with the metal merchant changed to not his usual options, but instead a red "sell all items in the box". when I pressed this to.. sell my items in the box, the metal merchant gave me an investigation mission (presumably prospecting?) and not buying my metals (coper ingots)

and when I tried again, I got the message then I can only have 1 investigation active.


I do not have any investigation ranks in any job that gives that. The issue disappeared when I removed my own traders box and walked out and back in the area

Sounds like a weird oops from variables mixing up. Maybe someone else somewhere was talking to another job system NPC and the server assigned it to your guy instead. Happens with conversations sometimes, like when you see someone else's portal wand options.

Unless it can be replicated, though, it sounds like just a one-off "silly old game" bug.

Hmm. I am checking right now and can't seem to reproduce the error. It might be related to something with having metal trader ranks. I'll try a couple things.

Looks like this was a one-off bug. I tried with a metal trader PC w/ and without the job chest out and can not cause it to give me that error. I checked the variables of that specific merchant and they are correct to be a Metal trader that teaches that job. So I agree this must have been something random. If you can reproduce it again, please let me know all your job ranks and the like.

okey I can reproduce it, also I checked the menus and it seems that the "conversation" is a mesh up of the disabled player merchant system and a hunting job.

reproduction:
-put an item (I did copper ore) in the metal merchants chest. leave it be don't talk to the merchant
-put 2 items (I did 2 copper ingots) in my own chest then don't close the chest
-directly talk to the merchant (so it goes from your inventory+chest to the merchant conversation.

it happens 7/10 times and so far it seems to only happen at the endir metal merchant

my jobs are:
3 weapons smith
2 refiner
1 metal trader


Im happy to show it if you are unable to reproduce it

That is a very strange way to go about using those merchants. Good luck, Mahtan. Though I don't think it's worth the time of hunting down that weird bug, since the job system as it is won't remain for a whole lot longer and it's not causing any issues/exploits.

But feel free if you want to hunt for it, I guess.

That is really strange. But that is what causes dialog corruption when you have two things calling at the same time.

So since you get a dialog call when you close the chest, and you are talking to the NPC, it fires them both basically at the same time. Which is just a problem with NWN. I am not certain there is a way to fix that. I am guessing the variable happens to be the exact same on the metal trade chest as what the job system looks for when deciding what the Job NPCs are and this happens to be the same as one of the hunting NPCs so it makes this error happen.
