Scout Archive

I, like many people, have macros set up to harvest corpses, easy, quick, and until now, painless.

I have noticed that if a command, or macro, is used to harvest a creature that does not contain that resource, the scout will gain no XP, no resources, and that corpse will no longer be lootable.

for example
'target corpse of nightspider
/harvest bone
'no gain and corpse is now useless

An easily avoided bug, but an irritating one at that.

Kind of ironic title really, the creatures this affects are insects/arachnids mostly....

Mord,

This happens every once in a while. I'll be standing over a Fambaa corpse, gloating to myself, trying to harvest it and I'll start getting the "You cannot extract resources from this dead Famby in your current state" (well, that's not verbatim ).

This results sometimes in me getting no scout XP and no hides, which is a real downer. I then have to remind myself that this is one less Famby creating humungous piles of crap for me to walk in and I'm happy again.

I've seen this happen as well M0rhal. I just keep using the radial menu to harvest. I have too many buttons in my toolbar as it is.

I sometimes fail on the first attempt as well. Just rerun the macro several times or try standing and rerun the macro.

I usually get that message when I'm too far from the corpse. Move closer and try again.

You can also get it if a Squad Leader has grouped you.

I've had both issues being described here.

1) Calling /harvest <resource> on a corpse without that resource

This one is extremely annoying, as you will not be able to harvest the correct resource afterwards

2) Receiving the "... current state..." message

This happens if you have "Stun", "Blind", "Dizzy" from the battle. Wait for them to wear off and you should be able to successfully harvest the resources from the corpse

If you have a Doctor handy, ask him to remove the states, and you can be on your way that much faster.

I've also tried harvesting before the harvest menu popped in - once I've done that, the system thinks I've already harvested - even though I didn't get anything off the corpse. Very annoying, but not too frequent....

I personallly have only experienced this problem while trying to harvest a non-existent resource, havent had any problems with harvesting while crouching, but then again, im usually running past the corpse while looting
