I haven't gotton the newest act.build yet, but I think it still has this
bug. Whenever you edit a mob or object that is allready in the game, you
can seriously mess up those existing objects. It has to do with pointers
being splayed about, and can be fixed thusly:
add this at the top of do_osave:
struct obj_data *obj;
and farther down in the function, right after it logs the save to file:
/* Pointer update to fix crashes and fubard objects after edit (EA,
12/20/96) */
for (obj = object_list;obj;obj=obj->next)
if (GET_OBJ_VNUM(obj) == obj_new_vnum) {
obj->name = obj_proto[obj->item_number].name;
obj->short_description =
obj_proto[obj->item_number].short_description;
obj->description = obj_proto[obj->item_number].description;
obj->action_description =
obj_proto[obj->item_number].action_description;
}
the mob fix is similar, at the top of do_medit:
struct char_data *mob;
and after it notifys of mob save to file:
/* Pointer update to fix crashes and fubard mobs after edit (EA,
12/20/96) */
for (mob = character_list;mob;mob=mob->next)
if (GET_MOB_VNUM(mob) == mob_new_vnum) {
mob->player.name = mob_proto[mob->nr].player.name;
mob->player.short_descr = mob_proto[mob->nr].player.short_descr;
mob->player.long_descr = mob_proto[mob->nr].player.long_descr;
mob->player.description = mob_proto[mob->nr].player.description;
}
I hope that helps out a bit for all you OBuild users!
