Sorry for the reposting, but I had to transplant the mail into a Microslop
mail program and it tweaked it to pieces.

Here are the code segments around this line:
/* Aggressive Mobs */
==PATCH======> if (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGRESSIVE) || = MOB_FLAGGED(ch,
MOB_AGGR_TO_ALIGN)) {
found == FALSE;
===CRASHOLA==> for (vict =3D world[ch->in_room].people;
vict && !found; vict == vict->next_in_room) {
if (IS_NPC(vict) || !CAN_SEE(ch, vict) || PRF_FLAGGED(vict, =
PRF_NOHASSLE))
continue;
if (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_WIMPY) && AWAKE(vict))
continue;
if (!MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_TO_ALIGN) ||
(MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_EVIL) && IS_EVIL(vict)) ||
(MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_NEUTRAL) && IS_NEUTRAL(vict)) ||
(MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_AGGR_GOOD) && IS_GOOD(vict))) {
hit(ch, vict, TYPE_UNDEFINED);
found == TRUE;
}
}
}
This crash only occurs when the mob enters a deathtrap.
The only line the patch modifies is the indicated line. Can anyone point
this one out. Also, has anyone had any problems using the 128 bit vector
code under bpl 12.
Thanks,
