Bug with settings being saved
First off no reason to get hostile. I am only trying to get to the bottom of this issue and keep you informed because you are the author. So it is your mod I was right the first time. I tested this with only your mod installed and it is still an issue. The reason you have probably not heard from this by anyone else is that most everyone else want people to have the ability to pick up thralls and if that is the case then you would not even notice it is an issue once you remove the file go into admin and make the change. I don't want people to pick up thralls or pets.

Steps taken that can be reproduced
Install pickup+
Start server
Go into admin mode. Spawn a thrall place it down bring up the menu and disable pickup.
Use the command makemenormal. Can't pick up thrall.
Restart the server and load back in.
Can pick up thrall.
Go into admin
Look at thrall bring up the menu and the option to disable is gone.
Stop server delete Pickup+.sav
Restart server
Go into admin mode. Look at thrall bring up the menu and disable pickup.
Rinse and repeat. Same results every time.

If you need a server to test this on I can give you access on mine. Just send me a friend request on steam.

You should never occuse people of things you can't know. Why do you think I'm getting hostile? I answered you in detail and that in a normal way. I asked you to test only with Pickup+ to make sure, that this is what causes the problems - two times.
Before that specific test it is stupid for me to look for errors, because conan is very different in the way mods work together. But now you finally answered my question - nice.


Before I respond with my result I want to tell you two more things that are important.

1st) Who is right or not does not matter to me at all - thats just childish and nonsense. I'm not "old"... but too old for unproductive stuff like that. Before you pretend to be right, simply follow the things that I tell you, if you don't want to follow the "rules" of posting a bug.

2nd) You did not even read how to post a bug. Now opening a discussion too.. that are things that get me hostile. It is interesting that people are not willing to read the mod description, to look for informations, before posting bugs/problems.. that would save everyone so much time - even tho I answered you every time (like I do with all others) and now responding to this discussion.

Now my result:
After you gave me the reason to look for errors in the mod, I found the tiny error that was causing this. So there will be a fix. I'll announce now the upcoming release for tomorrow.

If you want to test it before, you can find it here:

Edit: I'll lock this thread after the release tomorrow. So you are able to respond if needed or wanted.

I was going to test just your mod but I had not had a chance yet because I had to set up a secondary server to do so.
You already had all the other information that you ask for in your bug template because I had been talking with you. So I just got straight to the point of how to reproduce the bug so you could and see there was an issue.

You can test your mod just as easily as anyone using it to see if it has a bug
You had multiple people tell you there may be something wrong with your mod however you chose to just dismiss them instead of looking into it yourself when after I finally got things set up it took me all of 10 min to find the problem.

When you say things like "Who is right or not does not matter to me at all - thats just childish and nonsense." and "" I will report back once I have figured it out so that you can maybe fix it or inform people they will have an issue if they use said mod." <- Also no... I can't fix compatibility issues (it is as compatible as it can be)." you sound hostile.
I said I was right the first time just meaning my first guess was right because I had speculated the second time we spoke that it may be a mod compatibility issue because I did not think there was an issue with your mod. Once again I had not had a chance to test it yet. It wasn't a whole "I was right you were wrong" thing. It was a "I was wrong thing". As for your other comment, a simple "great man thanks for looking into this let me know what you find" would have been fine or even an "ok sounds good" but you didn't even seem like you cared to post on your mod page if I had found an incompatibility issue.

And this whole freaking time all I have been trying to do was be kind and help you out even offering up my test server if you needed it. But whatever I'm not looking to get into some stupid internet feud. Good luck to you m8 I wish you the best with your mod and thank you for making it.

You got me totaly wrong - thanks internet.

This is no internet feud from my side, otherwise I wouldn't post the fix before the "official release" to give you the possibility to test it. And (but you can't know) I wouldn't have spend 1hr only to get the devkit work and to be able to get into that problem. In total I spent 1 1/2hrs sitting in front of my desk with 34°C in this room ;-)

If you posted the bug report template with the first post you did in the comments, you would have tested the "Pickup+ only option" directly. I would have known from the start, that Pickup+ only is causing the problem too, what would lead into investigation from my side. The whole thing would be solved in just 2 Posts... one (the bugreport template) from you and the answer with the result from me - thats what I ment!

Others with this problem reported that they fixed it with the first solution I gave you - so it should be understandable that I have to assume, that this problem is not pickup+ related and may be caused by mod compatibility. And you use many mods!

As long as other mods are activated, it is not worth testing (you can see this point different, but I need to take time for stuff like that and time is limited). Thats why the bugreport template exists - it saves time. And if you thought I make money with this mod and just be lazy -> I do not. From the beginning until now: 0€ ! But I said this mod will be free - so its fine.


It is totaly okay if you havn't been able to test the fix - I just thought that this could be some offer to you and to show, that I really just want to help.


Just don't take everything so negative. You can't read how people mean something and not everybody is bad these days.
Even my answer here was not ment to be negative, im just honest and direct - thats my person :-)

Good luck to you too!

I think some meanings just got lost in text form or hell, maybe I am just used to people being hostile these days. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way and I'm sorry I did not fill out the bug report template. I expect people in my community to read and follow my rules I should have respected yours. That was my bad. It won't happen again. Thank you for being patient with me and for the quick fix.

i m sorry i dont know where else to post this, but i cant use this mod on a server it says wrong version?
Firespark81 25 Jul, 2019 @ 10:54am 
Update is on your server. Then unsub and resub to it on steam.
nO Pa!N  [developer] 26 Jul, 2019 @ 6:28am 
@Firespark81: You don't need to excuse dude... everything is fine from my point of view. We solved the problem - that matters :)
Hopefully everything works now like expected.

Have a great day/weekend!

I'll close this discussion since it is solved and you answered oghentai420, too - thanks for that!!

Greetings from germany
