Someone reported this exact problem to me, and I came to the same
conclusion. I've looked around the archives, but this was the most recent
post I could find, and there was never a fix posted.
I am still at a loss after some debugging, but I've got some more details
to add if anyone knows the answer or can help me find it...
It seems to happen only to G type zone commands.
They are saving to disk correctly.
They appear to be loading from disk correctly in load_zones, when I print a
debug of ZCMD.arg4.
They appear to NOT be correct in reset_zone, when I print a debug of
ZCMD.arg4 it's always 0. But only for G type commands? I did a debug of an
M command by way of comparison, and it was correct in both places.
I think I'm missing something simple, but I just don't see it.
From load_zones:
} else {
if ((arg_num = sscanf(ptr, " %d %d %d %d %d ", &tmp, &ZCMD.arg1,
&ZCMD.arg2, &ZCMD.arg3, &ZCMD.arg4)) != 5) {
if (arg_num != 4)
error = 1;
}
}
From reset_zone:
case 'G': /* obj_to_char */
if (!mob) {
ZONE_ERROR("attempt to give obj to non-existant mob, command
disabled");
ZCMD.command = '*';
break;
}
if ((obj_index[ZCMD.arg1].number < ZCMD.arg2) &&
mob_load && (rand_number(1, 100) >= ZCMD.arg4)) {
obj = read_object(ZCMD.arg1, REAL);
obj_to_char(obj, mob);
load_otrigger(obj);
tobj = obj;
last_cmd = 1;
} else
last_cmd = 0;
tmob = NULL;
break;
Thoughts anyone?
