First, Its been 5 years, and I still find some stock ROM bugs. This one
eluded every mud coder I spoke to.. anyways.. here it is.
this is also on my buglisting.txt file on
www.mageslair.net/snippets/snippets.html page
Pets with SANC and HASTE (and some other spells) will duplicate affects.
This is
due to fread_pet loading the original pet and the original affects, then
loading
the affects on top of that. The fix has to do with save.c
in fread_pet.. move the int vnum to a global to the function instead of
local
to the Vnum read.
Next in the Affc section.
if (!check_pet_affected(vnum,paf))
{
paf->next = pet->affected;
pet->affected = paf;
} else{
free_affect(paf);
}
in place of the paf->next and pet->affected lines. This will enable the
check function
to determine if they should PUT the affect on the pet.
In db.c (where I put it) put the check function:
/* remove duplicate affects on pets */
bool check_pet_affected(int vnum, AFFECT_DATA *paf)
{
MOB_INDEX_DATA *petIndex;
petIndex = get_mob_index(vnum);
if (petIndex == NULL)
return FALSE;
if (paf->where == TO_AFFECTS)
if (IS_AFFECTED(petIndex, paf->bitvector))
return TRUE;
return FALSE;
}
put the function prototype in merc.h and you are done!!!
