Unconfirmed Bug Building permits with thief's knife

[The Nameless Pirate]

You can steal building permits with the thief's knife, which results in game balance issues and hilarious screenshots, should the player get hold of them.



Does anyone have an idea on how to make the "occupants" of such buildings immune to thief's knifes?

I have noticed that if you build the building you can't damage the "occupant", so they are "immune" to the knife.

If I recall, it used to be that those items wouldn't display or you couldn't transfer them.
Apparently something isn't working as intended there...

Have a look in the itemsbox.c file; that's the interface where you can move items between characters.

I found this in a couple of places:

       if (GetAttributeName(curItem) == "bladeX4") continue;// TIH simply never show fists in looting screens 7-7-06

Building permits are all given the name "building" even though they should have different item ID's, which is why they all show up as "Building Permit " (smiley included in the item description). So I tried adding:

       if (GetAttributeName(curItem) == "building") continue;

It didn't work. Building permits still show up and can be stolen.

"bladeX4" is an actual item ID. Perhaps adding an exact building item ID would work?
Maybe with an 'HasSubStr', you can catch them all?
