I just noticed that with HolyLight on, that invis mobs are still coming up
as "Someone" on act, even though I can see them in the room and look at
them. This "Someone" is created, by the PERS() macro in utils.h. Here is
what I have (same as stock bpl11):
#define PERS(ch, vict) (CAN_SEE(vict, ch) ? GET_NAME(ch) : "Someone")
All other occurances of CAN_SEE list the ch, before the vict. Perhaps they
need to be reversed in the macro to make things work properly?
I took the above thought and changed the PERS() macro to be:
#define PERS(ch, vict) (CAN_SEE(ch, vict) ? GET_NAME(ch) : "Someone")
^^^^^^^^
See the change?
This also required the following change in comm.c in perform_act():
case 'N':
- CHECK_NULL(vict_obj, PERS((struct char_data *) vict_obj), to);
+ CHECK_NULL(vict_obj, PERS(to, (struct char_data *) vict_obj));
break;
This cleared up the problem with PERS() returning "Someone" when it should
not.
George/Jeremy,
You may want to check bpl13 and see if this problem is still
around.
