Account: AKMatt
Character: Thyzykeelix
Problem: Wings not visible to other players or DMs.  Sometimes disappear on my client as well.

Here's a list of occurences and conditions:

1. Wings given in area Spirit Commune.  Myself, DM, and other players can see the wings.  Cloak is equipped.

2. Transition out of Spirit Commune into Bog Tunnels.  Wings not visible to DM or other players.  Still visible in my client.  Cloak still equipped.

3. Hanged Goblin.  Relog, and DM sets wings again.  Other players can see wings, as can I.  After another relog, the wings disappear to all involved.  Cloak still equipped.

4. Unequipped cloak and relogged in Hanged Goblin.  Wings become visible to me as long as cloak is unequipped.  Other players still cannot see.  Equipping cloak makes wings disappear for me, and they do not return unless I relog with the cloak unequipped.

5. Log in with no cloak equipped.  The wings are visible on my client in the Hanged Goblin.  I transition out into the Gobsquat.  Wings remain visible to me, but the first PC I encounter does not see them.

TLDR: Probably an engine bug.

Long version:

After some testing in single player mode, it seems like this is probably a bug in the Aurora engine, involving the use of wings with PCs using a non-default appearance.

The following steps were taken in single-player tests:

1. Export character from EfU.
2. Select as premade character in module PGCC v1.3
3. Unequip and equip cloak.  Wings appear on first unequip, and disappear when the cloak is re-equipped.  No amount of cloak toggling or transitioning will make them appear again without quitting and restarting the module.

4. Create a new character, identical to Thyzykeelix in build, no subrace engine in effect in module.
5. Speak with NPC that uses a set wing script, set Demon wings.
6. Equip cloak.  Wings disappear.
7. Unequip cloak.  Wings appear again.
8. ~DebugMode 1
9. ~SetAppearance 305
10. Equip cloak.  Wings disappear.
11. Unequip cloak. Wings do not reappear.  Toggling the cloak and transitioning do not make it reappear.
