    Good Afternoon Co8 et al -

    I seem to have misplaced my extraplanar chest at merchants row location #5179.

    I cannot seem to find it in any of the shops, would someone out there please tell me which config file I need to examine to track down this location number?


    If its a binary file of some type please let me know that as well.

    Thank you for your time -

    I take it you have already tried to summon it and got a message saying where you left it, right?

    I believe 5179 is the row that runs directly opposite the Spruce Goose. You'll probably have to check each of the individual shops, as they share a single map.

    Thank you gentlemen for the generous application of your most beneficent wisdom.

    Well that was interesting.

    Looked all over couldn't find the chest. However. I did find the "gem encrusted throne" in one of the shops.

    Reloaded from a previous save while party was still in the temple.

    Opened the extra planar chest & everything looked normal, until I closed it!

    When I closed the chest a gem encrusted throne appeared!

    Opened the chest again, closed it, and a second throne appeared!

    Very curious.

    Left temple and went to the jeweler in homlet and sold the gem hoard.

    While still in jeweler's shop I tried to open the extra planer chest and got the lost chest message - which indicated that it was left in the jeweler's shop!

    No chest was present!

    So somehow the chest got corrupted & the complete loss of the chest was triggered by selling the gem hoard.

    Version info - NC 8.0.1 Win7-32

    Is this bug worth you time to investigate further? If so, please let me know what I can do to help!

    If not - that's fine too - y'all have done a hell of job I really appreciate Co8's hard work!

    It's a known bug about putting the gem hoard in the chest.

    Myself, I try to only put mundane objects in it.

    By any chance have you read the note that comes in the chest?

    Good Evening Sir Knight-

    > Have you read the note that comes in the chest?

    Ohh about a year ago or so I suppose....

    The accuracy of my recall seems to be inversely proportional to my age ;)

    ( And strangely, there seems to be a correlation to the quantity of alcohol consumed ...

    I think that hypothesis requires additional testing however. )

    Thanks for the follow-up !

    *Odd - the editor doesn't show that extra space?

    Myself I suffer from CRS quite often. ;)

    And for the record, the grey hairs are certainly winning the war of attrition currently being waged on my scalp. :p
