Game mode: * Single-player* Type of issue:Bug Server type: PvE Region:North America Mods?: Yes Edition: Steam
Bug Description:
When approaching an NPC merchant like Shawma the Strange or the Mountaineer, I see the option to “Purchase: for [whatever].” It does not say what to purchase, and if I click on it, I lose a fragment of power or gold coins or whatever the purchase requirement is, but I do not gain anything–no schematics, no rocknose egg.
This affects the Library of Esoteric Things, too. I can interact with the library, and I will get a popup saying that I have “accessed the dark libary.” However, I get no feat, and I get no scrolls. Fragments of power are consumed, however.
I have attempted to purchase rocknose eggs from Shawma without any mods activated. Same problem.
Finally, attempting a workaround of simply spawning the schematics also does not work. Both the schematics (ID 29000) and the rocknose egg (ID 19026) return “failed spawning 1x game item [id]” when admin mode is on. This makes me think that the item does not exist, which is odd.
Expected Behavior:
I expect to get the items or feats I am purchasing from NPCs or the Library of Esoteric Things.
Just to see if it’s a problem with all merchants or just NPCs that sell those specific items, I went to Sepermeru. All the merchants I checked there had no problem selling me items. Their purchase interaction also specified what I would be getting.
Example:
Instead of the button saying “Purchase: for 10 Gold Coins,” it would say “Purchase: Elephant Hide for 5 Gold Coins.”
This and the spawning error leads me to believe that for whatever reason those items simply do not exist in my game.
I also backed up my save and started a new single player game with no mods at all. I tried to spawn a rocknose egg and schematic again (with spawnitem 19026 1 and spawnitem 29000 1 respectively) and both returned spawn errors. So, it seems that those items simply don’t exist in my game, even though they should.
Edit: after validating files in the new game with no mods, the missing items are back. I will reload my old save game and try revalidating again.
Edit 2: Revalidating the files on Steam for my old save game did notify me that “one file will be reacquired”, but the items still don’t exist.
Ah, I found the issue! I had one mod that should have only added a few items to the game. It did add items to the game, but it also deleted a lot of them… somehow.
One Tap Truncheons is broken.
Removing that mod specifically and then re-validating the files twice fixed the issue. Re-validating files only once (which is what I tried at first) didn’t work. Twice worked.
