#1042 Blacksmiths schedule

[Anonymous]

Somebody forgot to implement blacksmiths´
schedule in the game. In the original U7 they use the
forge until the sword pattern appears red, then take it
and put it in the anvil, hammer it and take it to the
cooling bin ( so the water dissapears ). When the
cooling bin is empty they go to the well ( note that every
blacksmith has one near his workshop ) to take water
with the bucket, return to workshop and fill the cooling
bin again. But in Exult there are a few differences: they
hammer the sword pattern with anything they have in
their hand, even if it´s empty! And they do not go to the
well for the water but fulfill the cooling bin with water
from... their pockets?!
I suggest someone to try it in the original in order
to see it so it can be implemented in Exult that way,
that is really more realistic.

This has been fixed a bit, at least now the blacksmith is using tongs and a hammer. Unfortunately when you look at the minoc blacksmith you see how much detail went into the originals blacksmith schedule.
Zorg picks up the tongs and the hammer when he needs them from his counter, refills the cooling bin etc...
I'm moving this back to the bugs page...

FYI, the NPCs did fill the buckets from water from their pockets if there was no well sufficiently close by (such as Menion in BG). In any event, I have started looking into it.
