If you have some major changes in your code it might mess up the patch. The third question is have you added other patches it might be reading them too. (OLC patches are exempted from this because they are further in the levels of the code.) Any of the previous could cause the patch to mess up. Here's what I had to do: make a back up of your current mud. get a clean pl10.tar.gz (the whole mud not the patch) then compile and cut and paste your old stuff in with a few minor changes. the data files are compatible I've done it :) This may not work or might be too time consuming if you have a lot of changed code, if you do I don't know what else to tell you...sorry.
