<> Recently I have been experiencing the ole saved game bug in conjunction with an inventory bug. A friend of mine fights nymphs by going to a different room, dropping everything thats not in use, and then battling it out with the nymph. Well, several times after victory, when trying to pick things back up, everything I DIDN'T drop dissappears from the inventory, but the letters are not used for items I do pick up. Then the inventory will have blank lines in it and often will look like this: (d) ring mail (f) an arrow (q) A scroll called 'enco blah hlaby' (a) some food and then everything will suddenly be one item and the inventory will look something like: () A scroll called 'enco blah hlaby' () A scroll called 'enco blah hlaby' ( A scroll called 'enco blah hlaby' () A scroll called 'enco blah hlaby' () A scroll called 'enco blah hlaby' No letters or anything, and then if I try to use something I'm supposed to have, I end up going through the alphabet only to find that I have nothing!!!. Any ideas about what's going on??? A fix??? By the way, in every instance of the saved game bug, I would eventually see an error message: infinite tc= loop from rogue. What does this mean? Anyway, of course all this nonsense happens during a good game. The saved game bug does seem to disappear if you go down a level (if you can make it to the stairs) but it doesn't help this inventory problem at all. A lot of gobbledygook but if there are any explanations, I'd sure like to hear them. Kevin Ow-Wing @ AMDCAD (408) 749-2354 UUCPnet: {ihnp4,amd,gatech,resonex}!amdcad!kevin US MAIL: 901 Thompson Pl.
