Any help is greatly ( I don't like to give coding solutions [typically I'm not that smooth with mailer code anyways], but I'll give my two cents on the problem and how I think you can fix it. ) :) The problem is that the player's object/rent file isn't being saved until some point far after he dies, and that between his death (when he loses the objects) and the point that the rent file is supposed to be saved, there is some sort of interruption - probably the game crashes. The clearest solution would be to insert a way to save the player's rent file immediatelly after transfering all objects from the person to the corpse [fight.c: make_corpse()], therefore assuring that the objects cannot be duplicated. Good luck. :) - B.
