I created 6 custom items just a moment ago and there were several errors. First, it didn't give me any event notice that i had submitted images for the custom items. Second, it automatically accepted each and every custom item. Third, it didn't reduce any CPs for any of them. Fourth, they spawned at an invisible location again.
Don't I have to accept the Art for them to work or something? I'm not really sure, but I did just accept the images about 20 min ago, so maybe you should double check and see if things have changed.
Yes, the CPs will not be deducted and the items will not appear at their correct location until they have been accepted. Really it is just the event message that you initially receive that is flawed, because it leads you to believe the items have been approved, rather than having been submitted for approval.
Yeah, I thought it was something like this. When I created a custom item a while back, I noticed it, but I never really payed much attention because I directly accepted my images myself.
I know, for some weird reason, when CPing custom items in puts them in your invent, with no image and no location. Once I accept your images, then you get a location and an image. That is of course, IIRC. I might do some testing to figure out this all later.
Oh, the moment you accepted them i got the events and everything. I'm holding the items now. But I'm still pointing out that they were created before being accepted.
