Bags of Holding Tweak Issue

[sirnicklaus]

The Add Bags of Holding tweak doesn't make bags of holding carry any type of item in Icewind Dale as the description states they should.  Among the items that don't go into the bags are Terikan's Key, Forge Key, Note to Kerish, Note to Krilag, Krilag's Badge, Joril's Badge, and the other carrying containers (which may be on purpose; I'm not sure gem bags, potion bags, and scroll cases were intended to be able to go into bags of holding).

Now this is an interesting discovery. Items flagged with bit11--everything you've listed--are not allowed to be sold to stores, despite their item type being allowed. Internally, bags of holding are stores, so the same items are being restricted. I don't think I can allow these items into bags unless I also allow them to be sold.

Out of curiosity with the keys: Gerth in Kuldahar will typically buy keys from the party; what is the reason he won't buy those two in particular?

I take it the other types of carrying containers (or other bags of holding for that matter) are not intended to be able to go into a bag of holding?

Yeah, the engine won't allow bags inside of stores. It's also why you can't sell bags back to stores. As for those two keys, they're one of the items made unsellable by bit11:

• Caravan Contract (CONTRACT)
• Container of Razorvine Extract  (RAZOR)
• Copy of Marketh's Ring (RINGCOP)
• Eidan's Legacy Ring (EIDANRNG)

• Portrait of Marketh (PORTRAIT)
• Sack of Potatoes (POTATOES)
• Scribbled Note (SCRNOTE)
• Scroll [this is the note about how the TotLM portal works] (TORN)
• Selune's Caress (WEREAMUL)
• Skull [used to escape one of the TotLM areas] (SKULL1)
• Skull [used to escape one of the TotLM areas] (SKULL2)
• Supply List (LIST)
• Tarnished Ring (RINGLUR)
• Terikan's Key (TKEY)

• Vial of mysterious liquid (POISON)

Since these items can't be sold anyway thanks to bit11, the next version of Tweaks will remove bit11 and set the price to zero. This will allow them to be placed in bags but remain unsellable. Also it looks like I need to add some items to the bit11 list in Fixpack like Brother Perdiem's Badge.

What exactly is bit11 and what purpose does it currently serve in the game?

It seems that I'm able to sell both bags of holding, as well as all the other carrying containers, back to stores so long as they don't have any items inside of them.
