Ok this is a problem I have with more than one character and is kinda annoying. Mega insists on arming the weapon before every combat..but it goes from annoying to infuriating when I try to use the silverwood staff as my combat spell.. #sws is the spell command, but before mega will use it it insists on equipping the silverwood staff, problem is, if it is already equipped it just keeps trying and never casts the spell.... heeeeeelp!?!!? I am also getting really annoyed with my ranger for missing combat rounds doing the same thing. so annoyed I changed his weapon to garbage can. Using Megamud 1.03t.

type anything in as the weapon

doesn't work, to cast the silverwood staff spell mega tries to equip the silverwood staff...see below and note that I am holding the staff already:

Intersection of Temple St. & Stone St.
Also here: small guardsman, small guardsman.
Obvious exits: north, south, east, west
The small guardsman swings at you with their broadsword!

Purple is a massive, powerfully built Kang Druid with no hair and black eyes.
He moves very swiftly, and is hostile and rather unappealing. Purple appears
to be brilliant and seems to be in an enlightened state of mind. He is
unwounded.

He is equipped with:

golden hide tunic (Torso)
wyvernhide pants (Legs)
wyvernhide helm (Head)
wyvernhide gauntlets (Hands)
wyvernhide boots (Feet)
ruby-eyed skull ring (Finger)
fine platinum chain (Waist)
turquoise ring (Finger)
phoenix feather (Neck)
carved ivory mask (Ears)
crimson cloak (Back)
silverwood staff (Weapon Hand)

have you tried under combat checking the box that says use normal weapon for attack spells?outside of that I'm not sure how to fix the problem since the board you are playing doesn't seem to have the two-handed weapon issue.you could always try updating megamud to version u,but I'm not sure that would help.I'm pretty sure that staff spell wasn't meant to be scripted with.

I have tried use normal weap for attack spells...
what's the two handed weapon issue?
I can see why it's not intended to use silverwood staff for scripting, but I have seen it done, and it is a good spell for the level...plus like I said, I have this problem with other weaps and it is quite annoying when charas are constantly trying to equip a weapon they already have equipped...

The two handed issue is where Metro (BASTARDS) added (two handed) to the description of any two handed weapon when it is equipped.

Totally screws with Megamud (as you see) and no, loading 1.03u will not help with this problem.

this is why I said it doesn't seem to be the two-handed issue

Maybe using the message/response feature of mega to respond to "you do not have this unequipped...." with "i". does it properly cast the spell when it sees it equipped?
It's more than likely a setting attributed to either the spell or item in mega. take a look at both.
Haven't opened mega in a long time, but I do believe I was able to get in working when I played.
I'm half asleep,so forgive the run-on quality of my post, lol.

no it must be the 2handed thing, because inventory doesn't have any effect.. I fiddled with message/response to "kinda" get the staff spell working..but still pissed off by the equip weap rubbish..
