- Hidden damage bug, fixed a few issues that I managed to find, but they
don't answer all of the weird things we've seen. The things fixed are:
- - When someone autoassists, two lines of damage were showing for the
wrong attacker. This is now fixed, but damage will not completely
combine for the first round of combat. As a side effect to this,
assisting mobs will only get one hit in the first round.
- - When your pet attacks a mob and the mob later targets you, damage
was sometimes hidden that round.
Fixed a couple of other things that might help this bug, but I have
absolutely not been able to recreate either the situation where
you insta-kill a mob with a backstab and see no damage, or, the
situation where you attack someone much much stronger than you and they
kill you in the first hit of retaliation without seeing a damage msg. If
you see this again, please post exactly which room you were in, what
affects you had on at the time, whether you are grouped / have a pet in
the room and if possible a log of the fight.
- SKIN: Important note on skin - Bregalad reported that con and wis
appeared not to affect skin bonuses as documented in the helpfile.
After checking the code, he is right. Con and Wis are now both
important for skin. I also added a slightly higher bonus chance to add
a stat if con is 500 or wis is 500 (higher chance for both). The way
it now works is that for each stat, con+wis will determine your chances
to add that stat to the item and, if successful, luck will determine
how much.
- A player auto-assisting another in PK will now trigger revenge. This
should also fix players with pk grace period auto-assisting without
losing the grace period. (Yig)
- When you try to summon someone into an area level locked above them, you
should now see a message that they could not reach you instead of just
getting a blank line. (Oladon)

- Cannot duplicate a situation where a mob just 'screams and attacks'
constantly without ever attacking. Let me know if you can recreate
this .. removing from buglist for now.
