I've made a couple changes to the way agency lockers handle hand-held "accessory" items.

1) If you are holding two items and swap out one in the locker, your item in your right hand will go in the locker, the item in your left hand will go in your right, and the new item will go in your left. This is just a convenience thing to make it easier to rotate items in and out.

2) Lockers were never supposed to allow you to hold two of the same item. This was really a bug that I took a long time to fix. It should be fixed now. If you are already holding one of a particular item, and you try to get out another, it will force you to swap that same item out. So it should no longer be possible to hold two of the same.

If you have any comments, or experience problems with the new lockers, please let me know here.

Please tell me exactly what you were holding, and what you tried to get out of the locker when something disappeared. I need to figure out the conditions that cause the items to disappear.

Our clerk has recorded cameras stored but not cameras taken after that. I can only be sure of one camera disappearing becouse I was paying attention. Anyway the rest of the items seem to be working fine and I managed to store and retrieve our new 5th and only camera we have now in the locker. I hope this is clear enough.

I was holding a Russian fur hat, a white lab coat and a new camera.

Ben, I (at my other detective Dionne Dawson) was holding two chemist kits and wanted to swap them into two silver handed canes. Then 1 kit and 1 cane disappeared.

OK, did all of these problems happen when the person who lost the item started out holding two of the same?

I was holding one camera and a Tommy gun. When I went to swap the camera for a second Tommy the camera vanished.

I will also say that in the past 15 minutes I've been kicked back to the log-on page three times while putting items in or taking them out from the locker.

Yeah, I'm running into that problem too...
Still trying.

By the way, I've updated the clerk code, so it should now show when an item is swapped out, which it wasn't before.

Yes we are adjusting our locker to fit the new holding accassories rule. And yes I was holding a camera when I was trying to wear a second one.

OK, hopefully nobody should be getting kicked to the login screen now.

Are items still disappearing?
