I tried to investigate a way to fix the old mod, but couldn't figure it out.
The only thing I found in that process was that items that get stripped off of Lona during captures are supposed to get placed in the areas temporary storage when they disappear so they could be retrieved.
EDIT:
For reference, this is a piece of the
move_route
of the
ItemFootmanMid
item that calculates the length of the despawn timer for that item (Retrieved via the VX Ace Editor):
Code:
@wait_count = [600+60*$game_player.actor.scoutcraft_trait, 1800].min
So yeah, it is tied to the scoutcraft skill and caps at 1800 (SCU 20) for that item. Should be the same for all items though.
