Try printing out the AFF2 flag and see if it loads onto your character.

I think all you need to do is follow one of those patches for 128 bit.
Its basically the same thing you are trying to code up, just it uses aff[x]
instead of aff and aff2 -- just an example.
ftp://ftp.circlemud.org/pub/CircleMUD/contrib/code/utils/128bit.patch
It's probably something you want to try looking at. It changes practically
all the flags.. so if you don't want to change it all, just take the parts
you want. Might want to read the README files as well.
