You're right about that. I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing...
Instead of calling act() and extract_char() from within a spec_proc do it
in weather.c in another_hour(). In 'case 5' of the
'switch (time_info.hours)' command do the loop through the character_list
and act() and extract() on mobs that are shadow mobs.
