Copper pot level indicator

Postby Chrumps » Tue Jul 15, 2014 8:04 am

The level indicator in the copper pot works in a bit strange way. The level bar is full at 5l. It shows 160 at 8l and 200 at 10l which obviously refers to 5l capacity of a clay pot. Showing liters instead of percentage would more intuitive.

Are you using one of the custom clients or the standard one? This could potentially explain display errors.

Both the default client and the custom clients have the issue that they show copper pots as full at 5l but they can be filled to 10l. This has been brought up before.

this one is as old as providence. If you want to fill the pot up to 10l, just put some water inside, then refill it at a full (100l) barrel.

or just click twice with a bucket ...
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.

This was on our August agenda. As far as I know the buckets now drain up to 10L when filling up a pot on the test server. I'm not sure if the UI bar is accurately registering now but we will look into it.

I am using Kandarim client, just updated.

Copper pot fills up to 5l when is empty and filled from a full bucket. Second click makes it 10l. This can be considered a feature, when you need to fill it partially for whatever reasons. Funny I did not notice that until you wrote about it.

I am referring to the bug in the level bar itself. It has nothing to do with double right clicking. No matter how the bucket is filled the percentage is calculated in regards to 5l base instead of 10l when the pot is on a fireplace. When it is in the inventory amount of water is correct and moving water to and from a bucket works fine.
That makes me think that somewhere in the code there is still 5 instead of 10.
