>>Would it be possible to set it up so we could CONVERT MECH TO ### OUTFITTING so it would fill outfitting to exactly ### ranks?

Not really - The demand for this is pretty low and you can figure that out by hand by trying different combinations before confirming them. The confirm works only if you've typed EXACTLY the same thing, so if you use a different number it won't confirm your previous attempt.

>>Would it be too complicated to get a CONVERT RESET for test that would drop our crafting skills back to 0 and restore our original mech lore? Would be useful for testing different scenarioes.

Not a bad idea. Done.

Excellent. I look forward to playing around with this tomorrow.

Something is seriously broken... just tried two partial conversions with two characters and ended up having almost all of my characters' Mech ranks vaporized.

I'm making a new thread for it since it's clearly a big bug.

-It doesn't seem to work and there's nothing in the HELP telling how to use it.

-I think converting ignores the crafting skill you've already gained. I had 20 outfitting, 0 forging, 437 mech. If I convert 18 mech to forging I end up with 50 forging, but if I convert 18 mech to outfitting I also end up with 50 ranks outfitting. I know with the way bits work I wouldn't end up with 70 outfitting there but I would think it would be higher than 50.

-Putting a part of your mech into a crafting skill is dropping your remaining mech to 0. I know someone already posted about this but figured it's worth mentioning anyway.

> convert 18 mech into forging
>You are about to convert 18 of your 437 ranks of Mech Lore into your Forging skill, leaving you with 50 ranks in >Forging and 419 ranks of Mech Lore.
>If this is what you want to do, please re-enter this command in the next 10 seconds.
> convert 18 mech into forging
>Conversion complete!

>Forging: 50 21% understanding (14/34)
>Mechanical Lore: 0 00.04% clear (0/34)

Fixed the part where Mech was getting wiped.

The command to restore your mech is CONVERT RESTORE.

Also fixed a bug where it was ignoring the ranks that you'd gained.

Looking much better now.

I thought we were only supposed to be able to convert mech into a single crafting skill once? I was able to convert mech into forging so it was 50 rank and then add more to get it to 100.

Also, I got hit with an increased TDP debt when I lost all my mech ranks before but they didn't get reset as part of this fix. It doesn't really matter that much since it's just test and shouldn't be a problem in the future, I just thought I'd mention it.

Yeah, just type TDP (gonna add a fix in there). I'm looking into warning you that your TDPs will be after the conversion before the confirm, too.

Updated the conversion mechanism to tell you how many TDPs you'd gain/lose.
