| Summary | 0013472: Trade goods in some shops do not appear in trade screen when talking to shopkeeper | ||||
| Description | Inside some shops in towns, trade goods will be visible and labeled with dollar signs as $available for trade$, but choosing the "Trade or settle debts" option in conversation with a shopkeeper will open a trade screen in which the shopkeeper's side is empty. As an example, I provide the following saved game: https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=17747 In this save, the adventurer is in an armorsmith's shop on the east side of a north-south street. There are two items for sale in the shop, but none appears in the trade screen when talking to either shopkeeper. You will also see this bug in many but not all nearby shops. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. In adventure mode, travel to a town. 2. Visit a shop that is stocked with goods marked for sale. 3. Talk to a shopkeeper and ask to trade. If the shopkeeper's side of the trade screen is empty, you have reproduced the bug. If not, leave the shop and repeat the procedure, starting at step 2. | ||||
| Additional Information | In the attached save, I have seen this bug happen in three different towns. It does not seem to be related to the shopkeeper's entity membership, or the location of the shop's coin chest. In the neighborhood shown in the save file, the bug seems to affect shops with west-facing or north-facing entrances, but I am not sure if that pattern exists everywhere. | ||||

This bug is extremely common, in the largest city in my latest world gen 0000001:0000001/3 shops are bugged. Two extra points though: 1.) Sometimes the bug only effects some of the items while others are available for sale as normal 2.) Sometimes different shopkeepers in the same shop will have different sets of goods available So the bug can be partial or total and is specific to each shopkeeper and not necessarily to each shop. Although in my experience if one shopkeeper is bugged the others are likely to be also. I have seen at least one east facing shop that was bugged so the door facing thing is probably a red herring. Edit: Also the version number should be updated because this bug still exists in 53.12. The severity should also probably be major given how common it is. |

Could the shopkeeper selling the available items not be present? If shopkeepers can share a shop, this must logically happen sometimes, unless the shopkeeper is never allowed to leave the shop (or all customers are expelled and the shop is locked when any of them leaves). |
