Hi, Mike!

The LORD2 you're running isa buggy version -- it doesn't allow one to useweaspons or armor, so it's you to play the game as intended.

I mean, you could also describe in detail what the issue is and ask echicken if he can fix it. He fixed a bug I reported on Lord.

I was not able to describe it because I am not as familiar with the game,
but mro did describe it. Apparently, it will let you buy a weapon but then won't let you arm yourself with it.

Did you report it here, or...?

Thanks!

okay he's correct. i got the 5 bucks from mom to buy milk and i used it on a rusty dagger instead. i choose arm as weapon and it does not do it.

This appears to be correct based on the default lord2 configuration:

LORD II ITEM EDITOR Editing item (3 of 99)
√ (A) Name of the item : Milk
(B) Action string :
(C) Used as armour? : No
(D) Used as weapon? : No
(E) Can be sold? : No
(F) Ref. If "Usable"? : item3
(G) Use string : Guzzle the cow juice
(H) Gold value : 1
(I) Used only once? : Yes
(J) Breaks 1 out of : Never breaks.
(K) Description : A large jug, still fresh.
(L) Weapon Strength : 0
(M) Armour Defence : 0
(N) Quest item? : No
(*) Show all items.
([) Go back an account
(]) Go forward an account
(Q) Quit

just use the real lord2

I run both. This behavior seems consistent between them.

And you were referring to the rusty dagger, that appears to be armable:

LORD II ITEM EDITOR Editing item (4 of 99)
√ (A) Name of the item : Dagger
(B) Action string : You slash with your dagger
(C) Used as armour? : No
(D) Used as weapon? : Yes

Pretty sure I've armed/used the dagger too.

Is this the same weapon you're saying can't be armed?

Maybe the sysop needs to run 'jsexec l2cfg.js' and double-check that the weapon is usable as a weapon.

i sold the milk and bought the rusty dagger at the pawnshop on his bbs.
then i opened inventory and chose to equip it and it looked like it did, but then looked again and it's not equipt.

that's the quickest thing i could get to check his issue out.

Maybe I need to upgrade my lord2.js? It is dated 4/6/2020.

If I only want to upgrade the xtrn/lord and xtrn/lord2 directories from
git, how do I do that?

Thanks!

You can download the individual files from gitlab.synchro.net, e.g. https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/tree/master/xtrn/lord

Or you can download a nightly archive and just extract the files/directories you want from it:
