Dragon's tooth becomes un-pickup-able

[ridgerunner]

When fetching the Firestaff, I had to temporarily drop the DTS to make room in the inventory to fit it. I knew that I would have room later after ditching the spyware device onto the server, but when I came back to retrieve the sword, it was still there but had become "unselectable" and could not be picked up. I was pissed! The DTS is essential! (and I'm out $1500)

Reading the wiki, it sounds as though I'll have to beat one of the enemies who has one in order to get another one. Or can I spawn another one? (The wiki warns against spawning the DTS). I'm currently back in the corporate district talking with wolfie about the DXEditing mission...

I want my dragon's tooth sword back - Help!

When you go to DXI the maps change, ANYTHING you leave behind will be lost. The DTS being there sounds like a bug as it should have disappeared.

[ridgerunner]

But I never left DXI. All I did was go and place the spyware device on the server then came back.

Yeah don't mind Kee715, he seems to be jumping to conclusions

Dunno what would cause it to be unpickupable, I assume you've tried clearing out your inventory completely to see if that helps? Otherwise just type "summon weapontnmnanosword" and all should be well.

Thanks Jonas.

BTW - it took a while, but this game's now got me completely and hopelessly hooked. Thanks for the "as-good-or-better-than-the-original-DX" gameplay! (The shadowcode level was suburb). But I do sorely miss inventory stacking!

Sorry, I try not to assume anything. I must have misread what was typed.

Hey no problem, you're just trying to help

[Heft]

I had a similar problem at the same part. I needed to pick up the staff, and took the time to re-arrange some stuff (since I'd also just found ZP's rifle, and wanted room for that too). Dropped a few things, intending to pick them back up, and then I couldn't. Wasn't a big deal, I had a quick save right before that and I maybe dropped them in a different spot or timed it differently, I can't honestly remember.

But it wasn't just you.

This was mentioned in one of the bug topics, with pictures and everything.... Something to do with the admin office having screwy floors.

[Trestkon]

Yes, it's actually a BSP error of some sort. We know about it (I think Jonas just forgot) but haven't been able to repair it, yet.

As for the warning against spawning the dragons tooth: I haven't read it but I'd image its a warning to make sure you spawn the tnm version of the weapon rather than the deus ex version.
