FIXED EC Crash

Sometimes the EC crashes when I try to switch my backpack from grid view to list view. It doesn't happen everytime, but when it does happen, it continues to happen for a while, then eventually clear up.

This becomes an issue because there's another bug with the EC grid view, in that sometimes items being placed in the first few slots will "layer" on top of one another. This generally happens on the top row. Especially after you die and loot your corpse. What I mean by the "layer" is that, if I keep gold in the 1st slot for example, and I right click, or auto loot to my backpack (not other containers within my backpack, I haven't had this issue with them, just the actual character backpack) or even if I'm being awarded an invasion scroll, or an artifact, often times instead of being placed in the next available spot, it will just disappear. It's not truly gone though. It's sitting in the same spot as the gold. I can attempt to drag the gold, which is what is visually showing, but then it'll grab the new item that was placed on top and drag it instead.

Now, if there's already 2 items layered in the first slot, then it moves over to slot 2, then slot 3, etc.

This is really noticeable for me when I die and loot my corpse. Because most of my blessed items like spellbooks and such are in the top few rows, so they always stay there. Then I loot my corpse and often times instead of putting the items in the next "available" spot, it dumps them on top of my blessed items which were already in the pack.

So, sometimes I'll switch to list view to try to grab those "hidden" items and move them. Probably 40% of the time I attempt to switch my main backpack to list view my EC just locks up and stops responding.

I would post pics, but it's one of those things that I can't really demonstrate visually.

The slots bugging out does not happen on real UO. The crash is probably client related but the slots bugging out is the real issue. I'm waiting for Argalep to respond over at ServUO.

I’m pretty certain the original issue is a client bug, not server.

So the Crash if client side. There is not much we can do about that.

That being said the grid issue, which is the main issue here, should hopefully be fixed tomorrow. Dexter's new code is in but it will require Heritage going down for a little as it was core edits. I will update this post, along with a change log, when the changes are live so all you Enhanced Client users can test it out for us.

I pushed one more minor core fix. THis fixes breaking stacks. The remaining issue is when dragging a stacked item, its not bouncing back to its original stack when the drop fails. Very minor issue.

Alright so Dexter has fixed the issue with grid squares bugging out.

EC users please test this out for us and let us know.
