EQEmulator Forums - COMMITTED: Fix for losing items in world containers

Problem: If you put an item in a world container such as a forge or an aug sealer, walk away or go linkdead, then somebody else uses the world container or the zone shuts down, your items are gone. See http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=25547

Solution: This patch will put any remaining items from a world container onto the user's cursor when the world container is closed. I *think* that live might only put the no drop items from a world container onto your cursor if you walk away with the window up and leave the tradeable items in there for the next person, but I believe that it returns them all to you if you go linkdead while using a world container. I don't have a live account to verify all the different scenarios and it seemed safest to always just put them on the cursor rather than missing some bizarre edge case and have people potentially lose items.

Code:

I tested walking away from the container while open, going linkdead with a container open, zoning with a container open, and dieing with a container open and all worked quite well.
