[Exult-general] egg object weights

[Willem J. P. <pal...@pl...>]

There's a bug in the tracker about a 'naked' Avatar still carrying 3
stones. This is caused by the path eggs stored in the (usually
invisible) usecode container.

Specifically, in Game_object::get_weight(int,int):

return wt > 0 ? wt : 1;

(There's about 30 path eggs in there, which sums to about 3 stones.)


Jeff (or anyone else), do you remember why exactly that check is in
there?


I see 3 possible solutions:

- remove the check for zero weight altogether (or maybe just for SI,
depending on if it's needed in BG)? Or do we depend on it being non-zero
somewhere? (divisions by zero...)

- overload the get_weight function for Egg_object to return 0. Have to
make sure this doesn't allow you to pick up fire fields and stuff like
that, though :-) (and also check for divisions by zero)

- ignore all this and just skip the usecode container while determining
how much the avatar is carrying.
