Skinning borked now?

[goodbadguy]

After a recent core change to how skinning works all of the creatures who are getting fully looted instantly vanish before they can be skinned. Anyone else?

Heh yea i just pestered vladimir with the same complaint...

Though, they don't always vanish for me, but it seems pretty random. I start to believe it has nothing to do with skinning (or herbing/mining) itself, any kind of mob sometimes just instantly disappears instead of staying for the normal looted despawn delay, for non-skinnable mobs the default delay is just so small that i didn't notice at first.

I also noticed that some mobs that only drop money are not lootable anymore...

[VladimirMangos]

money problem confirmed. Other part not clear how repeat. In any case i will implement official expected way work as reported (always show normal loot window possible empty before skinning has been possible), and if set in config speedup way with always attempt avoid show empty normal loot window. Current code work in some way middle for both. In some cases empty window show in some not show.

Please test with [9947]. For be sure that looted creature not despawned at timer expire increase Corpse.Decay.* maybe....

[Lynx3d]

Not solved with [9948]...still instantly disappearing after normal loot randomly.

Somehow tends to be a bit "bursty", like 5 times in a row disappearing, then works for a couple mobs etc...

I'm using:

Corpse.Decay.NORMAL = 120

Rate.Corpse.Decay.Looted = 0.2

So you *should* have plenty of time to target even non-skinnable mobs after looting etc.

Both cores i tested were running Linux if that matters, my system is running Ubuntu 10.04 64bit

[goodbadguy]

Seems fixed when testing on Windows but haven't tested on Linux yet.

[goodbadguy]

I haven't seen ti myself but my testers are reporting that it's still glitchy. Many times you can skin things and many time the body will disappear. No idea what the connection is or why it would be so random.

[VladimirMangos]

I can't repeat so not plan look more. If some problems exist then report strong way for repeating problem. Maybe this related to some client addons work...

[goodbadguy]

It's nothing to do with DB settings as I've tested by killing a Prairie Stalker (creature 2959) repeatedly and after looting the corpse will seemingly randomly either remain and be skinnable or vanish immediately.

[VladimirMangos]

With disabled client addons?

[goodbadguy]

No add-ons used at all. It's very strange. You can kill and loot the same skinable creature repeatedly and they become skinnable 10-15 times and then suddenly the next 5 kills they just vanish after looting.

[VladimirMangos]

must be fixed in [9959]

[goodbadguy]

Thank you for the attention to this matter.

Can you do something for the engineers skinning on mechanical mob (salvaging), it never worked

10x in advance

[VladimirMangos]

it not related core, just absent Db data and flags possible.
