Thread: HOW TO STACK/UNSTACK... its buggy but it DOES WORK
Message Edited by AschMhaRhee on 08-31-2005 04:50 PM
It appears that there are some stacks that are not usable for restacking. I have a stack of 5 simple toolkits. When i check the radial on them, they do not have the options for Stack/Unstack. For the rest of my components that were stacked previously, they had the stack/unstack options and worked correctly using the method previously stated.
I think the trick for the ones that don't have the stack options is to borrow one from someone who has one that is working long enough to make a stack with yours then unstack one to give back to that person and hypothetically you should be able to continue stacking from there.
Yes, well, you have to start with ones that will stack first, and if they came out of AUKs and WUKs before they fixed the stacking they just are not going to stack unless you get some of the new stuff. Simple as that. SOOOOOOO... get or buy ones that will stack and use them as a base to stack all of your stuff. Doesn't matter when you got the comps, half of mine are from over a year ago and they all stacked.

EDIT - for some reason, Illegal core boosters just stacked when I added a single core booster to a satchel that had 7 singles in it. Makes no sense, 30 seconds before that I tried the same thing with reactive plating and mando intraframes, and they didn't stack.

I admit it takes some playing around with. I've a bounty hunter in my guild who gives me all the stuff he gets. Sometimes it stacks first thing and other times not. You can try a couple of things, put them in a bag in your house, make sure your inv doesn't auto sort, then drag them both into your inv so they fall next to each other. Second thing I've done is drag one on top of the other and then drag the single into another bag on my toon, it stacks sometimes after I drag it into the other bag, not actually showing up in the bag.
I don't know why it works this way but even with the BH loot I've had to do this on several occasions.
Once I get the stack option to show up on a group, I generally don't have a problem with any of the rest but was easier to start a stack I guess with all the BH loot we've got shoved in our houses.

Resi, since your on Starsider, let me know if you get it working, if you need some stacks to start you off let me know and I'll break off two for you. Got all nine types in stacks.
Thanks - I just logged, but tried a bunch of things, including what you suggested, and still can't get anythign to stack aside from the Illegal Core Boosters and Finely Crafted Toolkits. For the core boosters, 7 singles were already in a satchel and when I added one more single, they all stacked. For the toolkits, I have to drop them all, then pick up all the singles, then pick up a stack, and that stacked all of those. When I picked up a seconds small stack, it did not mix with the first one, but dropping them both and pick them up again fixed this.
For the other parts, I've tried moving from containers within inventory, backback, house, containers in house, etc. Nothing is working. None of these other parts have a "stack" option on the radial either. All of these other non-stacking ones have a small stack of 2 or 3 from after the last patch, but no radial option - can't even split them.
I'll keep working with it, maybe a hotfix will help (heh). My smuggler character's name is "Thirge," so you may hear form me if I get it working.
Reading the discussion notes seems to imply that not everything is working as intended on every server just thought Starsider might have actually been one of the ones which the patch was properly introduced.Didn't seem to have as much difficulty as some, don't know why the ones I have would be any different. Most all were stored on a vendor though, maybe it helped.
