Hmm, i wasn't aware the printf functions could be used with this syntax. You live, you learn 8) I was trying to do a ghetto workaround with a second buffer string, and kept running into overflows. I'll give this a go when I get back home.

I'm guessing the one I viewed had garbage bits in it that the flag->string function didn't recognize, so it generated "none". Your copy likely had it set to zero, which I'm guessing the code checks before attempting to do the flag->string. Perhaps create a set of VALID_*_MASK for every flag bank, where * is the name of the bank, such as VALID_OBJEXTRA_MASK. The define would have all valid bit positions associated WITH that set of flags. A simple check like so… if(obj->extra & VALID_OBJEXTRA_MASK) would filter out possible garbage bits from corrupting system checks.

Seems to be the case with all the assists, in general. When switched to an assisting mob, I see this when trying to join the battle: You can't show your emotions. A blue silphania screams and attacks!

Fixed in next update.

fixed

Doesn't crash, but it seems to make the soul of shadow (what loads after saying arise fallen soul, purging the corpse, etc) act as a cart, being pulled by the player until they drop it. Looking into fixing this now.

Ruby (obj 4996) value was set to 0, as per Nibelung's suggestion. No dp gained via sacrificing it now.

If you think that's bad… Whisp had a mod where Infravision at night made everything RED without a light. I don't recall if the small region was fixed though. Actually, I like the RED at night infravision idea, but with the time scale, it's not all that impressive. :P

While on the topic of DAMAGE… you might want to check into the problem with having negative DAMROLL. The code (according to what I've seen on stat mob) performs a log() on the damroll and massages it to get the effective damroll. Well, if you have negative damrolls, that causes log() to go undefined, reading as infinite. I assume the code puts a cap on this as I've only seen reports of the damage being ~5k damage per HIT.
