A Horse out of nowhere

[StarFury76 7]

Hm thats not my horse ... it appeared out of nowhere as a "drop" .... the second time it happend that way ...  the first one was the Inquisitor Girl which wants you to poison the Priestess at Seraphim Garden btw Monastery on the Dark Path an can be killed on the Light Path. The second was the Fire Elemental on the way to Easter Egg.

Yeah.    I can't seem to figure that one out.  It's been in the mod for a long time.  Somewhere there's a either a horse itemtype added to some item blueprint, or else a horse blueprint added to drop.txt.  I was never able to find it.

Wait, so a horse drops?!  What happens when you, ahm, you know... pick it up?!

It just stands around like an idle background creature.  Can't be picked up.

Obvious joke was obvious, I hope.

It's not outside the realm of possibility, with the right (wrong) classification in itemtype it could happen. Would be a good indicator of the source of the bug if so, but alas...

As a creature, a mount cannot be a drop, codewise. The associated trading item object(which uses said mount's model and textures), however, can and will, provided there's an entry in drop.txt. Normally, such entries a present for trader inventories only.

That's what's happening.  Either:

1) I slipped a horse "trader item" itemtype into a blueprint entry where it doesn't belong.

or

2) I put a horse blueprint into a drop list where it doesn't belong.

I searched and searched but couldn't find anything.  It doesn't help that there are about 80 horse itemtypes.

Yep, and if one checks them out, around 60 of those are indentical(in the CM Patch, at least).

Maybe one of Charon's automated tools could find the issue?!

Found it.  Itemtype is "11000" present in the magical Throwing Axe blueprint entry.  It's supposed to read "11100" which is a throwing axe itemtype.

newBlueprint = {
  id = 4261,
  name = "throw_axe_magic",
  palettebits = "1111111111111111",
  dmgvariation = 90,
  minconstraints = {1,5,0},
  lvljump = 1,
  usability = 0,
  allotment_pmfpi = {1000,0,0,0,0},
  uniquename = "",
  specialuseonly = 0,
  bonusgroup0 = {577,850,1,9,0},
  bonusgroup1 = {576,850,1,5,0},
  bonusgroup2 = {575,850,1,2,0},
  itemtypes = {11000,11101,13626,},
  wearergroups = {'WEARGROUP_DEFAULT',},
}
mgr.createBlueprint(4261, newBlueprint);

Mystery solved!  Will be corrected... at some point I guess.  Wish I had caught this before yesterday when I released the hotfix.
