[comp.sources.games.bugs] Omega, Two-handed weapon bug

JJones@sunkissed.aero.org (Jeffrey R. Jones) (08/04/88)

I found a rather obscure bug. I think I could have played for a year
and easily have never had it come up but stats say different I guess.
Here it is: I was weilding a +2 quarterstaff (and it forces you to
use the ready hand and the weapon hand) and I saved the game. When
I started back up again and unweilded my weapon (up-in-the-air), it
still left "quarterstaff +2" in the ready hand. 

So, I could unweild it also and now I have *2* +2 quarterstaffs. If
I weild either one it automatically takes up the two hand slots again,
but I still have an extra one to sell to the pawn shop (or whatever).
Also, if you drop either one and pick it back up, the name gets fudged
completely to something like "quarterstaff,+" or "qustaff   ;".

Anybody else fixed this yet?
