Spellbooks not going back into strap

McDougle

I've noticed my spellbooks randomly not going back in the strap but staying in my main pack  anyone else seen this 

McDougle

this is still happening what is the point of a strap if the books keep going into my main backpack...

Pawain

Is it the book you are switching to?  Or just random books?

McDougle

Well it's been demon and undead slayer plus my main book there were also deaths involved 

Chrille

If your strap is closed the book will go to main pack you need to have it open.

McDougle

I had died multiple times at rabbit spawn and such with it closed and they went back

Pawain

So the books you were not switching to stayed in the strap?  They need to know specific things to reproduce the issue and then solve.

McDougle

Ok will pay more attention i do know strap open or closed they go into main pack so far it's my demon undead and 49 sdi book 

McDougle

Also happens on two separate accounts

even with the strap open my spellbook going back into my main pack surely this is NOT working as intended?

I don't have my spellbook strap open, but most of them goes back into the spellbook strap
except demon, elemental and undead spellbook (they go back into main backpack).

==========
(I decided to test this out today)

I just tested this.
all books return to the spellbook strap when its open.
but when its not open, these 3 return to your main backpack.

I hid it behind my paperdoll, but upon log in, it remains in front of paperdoll.
I don't want to have to view it, to be able to use the spellbooks.
could it be fixed so that we don't have to have it open
to use the demon, elemental and undead slayer spellbooks?

McDougle

Yes i have noticed it's those 3 and somehow dying is involved 

Cinderella

just standing at your house and using the the demon slayer icon
(edited to switch to my demon slayer spellbook) and then switching to the other 
two slayers... when I log into CC, those books are immediately in my backpack.

but if I have it open (just as Chrill suggested above)
then they automatically go back into the strap.

I don't have to die for this to be duplicated.
but when I die, I have to open the spellbook strap,
runebook strap and first aid belt

I can't recall anywhere until those are opened.
even if the books are in slots, they are greyed out.
I would prefer it if we didn't have to have them open
for them to work properly

(“Cinderella, if you’re using CC, you don’t need the bandage belt to be open if you record a macro to use the bandages in the belt using UOassist, just make sure the macro is not set to use item type but keep it as use item, and ensure you restock the belt before it gets to 0 then you’ll never have to re-record”)

I don't use UOassist
but that is a good tip for those that do use it.

My spellbook strap was working fine and was returning to the strap regardless of whether it's open or closed.

Then I decide to perform a test and now some of my 50 SDI, spellweaving spellbook, orc slayer (invasion) and one scrapper slayers is not returning to the strap.

@Misk @Kyronix @Bleak

The bug that was first reported in the TC test was not resolved.

McDougle

I keep my strap open as that was suggest as an issue it happens a lot if you die and seems to dislike my 50sdi  and both demon (invasion) and undead slayer (khaldun ritualist book)

Seth

These are not working:
1) 50 sdi spellbooks
2) Scrapper - gargoyle slayer
3) Orc slayer - invasion
4) Spellweaving spellbooks

I tested the above but there could be more. I am not sure what caused the problem.

@Misk
@Bleak
@Kyronix

The spellbook straps are bugged.

I think the next M&G will need to talk about them, the best way to get attention from a panel of vip.
