3.70 p1 problems with [WEIGHT:###] command

[Brygun]

For modding in our own items the Weight command lets us set a custom weight. Will post the code shortly.

In the BAC for making a boat the Finnish punt I'm seeing wrong weights coming out. The code phrasing appears correct to me and others. These middle steps are using the base item container. A dug out log could actually be used to hold liquids etc.


Instead of the 150 lbs or 100 lbs of steps its coming in at 23.2 pounds.
At 99 lbs it came in at 22.2 lbs.
Is it wierd that it has a decimal weight?

Guesses I 've made are
= that it using the base object but then 99 lbs came at at 22.2 not 23.2.
= That it has trouble with 3 digit weights but again 99 lbs also was wrong

I'm particularily concerned if the final weight will be wrong as it using a boat type base object whose ability to float is currently a mutiplier on weight. A tiny 22-23 lb weight will be a serious fail.

I am reasonably sure that in early versions this was tested as BAC was being built up but it has been some time since then.

I checked and a vanilla wooden tub has a weight of 2 lbs.

So where the heck is 100 lbs -> 23.2 lbs and 99 lbs -> 22.2 lbs coming from?

[Brygun]

Confirming the report the finished punt does weigh 90 as intended.

It thus seems in some way connected to using a container object, wooden tub, as the base object.

Why?

I dunno. 

[Brygun]

Game files are to big to post here. If needed I can email them for testing.

One can bypass the item list by changing them all to just {Rock}

It really does seem there is a weird base code thing about containers and changing the weight of the object (not its capacity)

Just to confirm, this weight problem is also in 3.80 beta.
