Over the course of time, omega can forget about the names of things in your inventory. In a recent game, the following inventory lines got munged: -- d) right shoulder: h (really blessed cloak of true sight +1) >> e) belt: (really staff of enchantment) -- n> finger: +1 (really ring of protection +1) -- o> finger: blessed +1 (really blessed ring of self knowledge +1) None of the functions of the items get lost, just the names in the inventory. I haven't found where the descriptions get munged yet; perhaps the solution is simply to refresh the descriptions from the the Objects[] array every so often.
