Ok, I think I have everything working about as good as it is going to get. It seems to be pretty good. The only odd thing I noticed is that if I #nukeitem on an item in my Power Source slot, I sometimes get a bunch of client failed to move item messages. The item still gets removed and I don't see any other side effects. I tested in both SoF and in Titanium and everything else was very smooth. In SoF, the Power Source slot now gives stats if stats are set on it and the stats show up both client and server-side. I believe that Worn and Focus Effects should also work for the Power Source slot as well now. Another interesting thing I noticed is that if you equip a Power Source while running SoF and then log off and back in with Titanium on the same character, the Power Source will automatically move into your first available normal inventory (bag) slot.

So, the only thing left to do is figure out exactly how the Power Source works on Live and code that in at some point. Given that our code for Charms is able to work on any slot, it might even be possible to use it for the Power Source slot to make it simulate what it does on Live. If that is the case, then Power Source should be all done and the rest would just be adjusting the database or making scripts to give the Power Sources the features that they are supposed to have. There is no rush on this as for the time being (and probably for a long time to come), the only use for the Power Source slot will be for custom servers. But, I think it is a nice option to have either way. It could definitely make for some nice rewards considering that you could have extra focus effects, stats, or even a clicky on it that saves having to use another slot to have a readily available clicky at all times.

It has been updated to the SVN and I am going to get it going on SH as well. I will probably add Power Source slot to a few existing items that we have set to be able to use the Ammo slot, so it can be used in both. This way, maybe some people will actually get this tested and let me know if there are any problems.
