it looks to me like someone is being loaded into one of the rooms that
you "ripped out"..maybe they were set LOADROOM, or maybe you changed it
so that people would enter back into the game where they quit...a way to
fix this is take the offfending characters and set their loadroom to be
something that you know exists, or you can do what i did..i changed the
code so that if the room doesn't exist, it puts them in the start
room...here's my code:
if (!ch || room < 0 || room > top_of_world) {
sprintf(buf, "SYSERR: Char going to non-existant room.\r\n");
sprintf(buf, "%sSYSERR: %s trying to go to room %d.\r\n", buf,
GET_NAME(ch), room);
log_info(buf);
if (GET_LEVEL(ch) >= LVL_IMMORT)
room = real_room(1204);
else
room = real_room(3001);
}
later
