Issue description
Lord Inut (the chicken man) does not spawn his bow or sword when he dies.

The event runs, and the death effect occurs, but neither item is spawned. In vanilla Arx, one of the two weapons would randomly spawn shortly after the npc explodes.

I've tried the SAM cheat, and it successfully spawns the bow in my inventory.
Steps to reproduce this issue
bug Here are some relevant files.

There is a save game (zipped), load it and chat to the man twice to reproduce the bug.

I've run the game with '--debug script=d'. It produces a lot of identify events for the items in my inventory, so I've filtered the log to only select those lines pertaining to the npc in question, human_base_0182, using the following grep command: 
  1. grep -n human_base_0182
 The filtered output and full output are both included.

Finally, there is the asl file that contains the script that is run. This is extracted from data2.pak, graph/obj3d/interactive/human_base/human_base_0182/.

By the way, I'm running Arx Libertatis 1.1.1-git + 32d96, on Kubuntu linux.

The Dropbox link is giving me an 404 error - is it set to public? Alternatively, you can upload the save file here if you create an account.

Oh, and please don't attach script files (or anything else) extracted from the .pak files unless you have explicit permission from Arkane/ZeniMax - others will be able to get them too if needed smileys/2.png

Oh, the bug tracker markup didn't like the space in the URL. Here's an updated link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vqplziygfm1m9bp/9NEIZm5q39/Arx

I've removed the copyright file, sorry, it didn't even occur to me.

Huh, interesting: it's broken in master, but works perfectly in 1.1.1. Git bisect time!

Also worth noting: when it doesn't work, Lord Inut also doesn't get as bright red as he should and instead the red color fades away before the explosion effect.

Was broken in commit d1008c6f7fa95bbfcec4a8c4b0539c265af4e215.

I'm not sure exactly why though - most likely a timing issue where Lord Inut is destroyed slightly before the items are spawned. The relevant part of the script is: 
  1. timersp 1 6 spawn item "<item>" me
  2. specialfx ylside_death

Looks like this may be cased by Cedric_ApplyLightingFirstPartRefactor() being executed before ARX_SCRIPT_Timer_Check().

Create a separate bug for the regression in the incinerate effect: Bug report 530 - Missing bright color at end of incinerate / ylside death effect
