Combining Hammer and Chipper

[Anxt]

So, In my own custom story, and in many others, the combining of a hammer and chipper is required to accomplish things such as destroying padlocks.

Here's my problem: Combining them doesn't work for me. Whether it is in the script or not, the combination never works, and often prevents me from playing through custom stories.

I am wondering if there is an issue with my Inventory file, because I know that is where the combinations are placed for the main game, and I believe I recall seeing somewhere that in order to add a different combine function, the inventory file would have to be altered as well.

So, is it possible that my inventory file does not work properly? Or has somehow become messed up? I have tried updating the game, but it hasn't solved the issue.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Perhaps I can show you my inventory file for the main game for you to compare? :/

[Anxt]

That would be nice, if you could. This bug has been irritating me for a while now, I'm not sure what causes it.

This is what my inventory.hps looks like:

Well, I don't think it's the inventory file then, because mine is identical to that.

This is very frustrating

[skypeskype]

Hmm... I found this problem in someone else's custom story, although the creator said that it was working for him. He gave us a save file from after breaking the padlock. I know this isn't helping you, but I just felt like posting it. I'll try to remember what custom story it was. Everything I DO remember is that it had a storage with a brute in it and a prison-like area in there.

[Anxt]

I know the one you are talking about, but I am also having the same issue with my own custom story, plus The Sins We Hide, which I greatly enjoyed up until that point, and I would have loved to finish it, but I really don't want to go back through it again. I'd just like to find a solution so I can go back to actually playing through the custom stories people release

[ferryadams10]

Just use the Inventory.hps of the original game

[Anxt]

Custom stories default to the main game's inventory.hps. So it should already be using it.

[Acies]

Yes, this is weird indeed. Have you been editing your original inventory file?
