You mean that I have to manually change the world files every time someone
creates a friggin scroll?  That's about retarded if you ask me.  How do I go
about and fix this?  Should I force it in Oedit.c or fix it in the db.c boot
when it reads the object?  I tried to set the value in the world file to -1
and it worked, but I don't want to have to open every file up manually
whenever a builder edits a scroll.. :)

So, where do I fix it so it saves it down / reads it properly?

Kind regards,
