Hey guys, heres my problem, I have everything set up for some new object varibles. I added acc, ra, di, fi, they work fine, but they just dont save, oset it and it shows on the ostat, I foldarea, reboot and it sets back to 0. I have the folda code dealing with objects below. I have such a headache over this..well thanks for helping if you can. 

    

               /* save objects */
    fprintf( fpout, "#OBJECTS\n" );
    for ( vnum = tarea->low_o_vnum; vnum <= tarea->hi_o_vnum; vnum++ )

Did you remember to add it to fread_obj? (Or something of that sort of function)

Don't forget to add it to create_object as well. This set the values on the object index onto the specific instances of those objects. This is often forgotten when people add new variables.

You also want to add it to make_object if your copying vnums through "ocreate <name> <vnum> <copyvnum>".

Ok, well, check this: Is it writing it to the area files or not? If it is, we can rule that part of it out, if not, we know where to look.

K, well that narrows it down. Are other changes to that same object being saved?

Ummm, did you recompile? Try a "make clean" then "make". Were there any errors or warnings?

Can you maybe show a complete sequence of what your doing? Is ther area assigned to you? Is the object set with the prototype flag when your setting it? Is the objects vnum within the boundries that area? do you have a specific instance on your character, or are you targetting it globally? When you foldarea, do you get the log message saying that it was saved? If you modify that specific objects weight with the prototype flag on, then foldarea and reboot, does the change to thte weight stick?

Ok, I loadup the object I created in the area I assign my self, and set it to prototype, I change the new values to 50 50 50 50, and I change a few other things just to see if they save I take the prototype flag off and foldarea then reboot. All the other options on the item that I set are still there except for the new ones. So the weight I changed and some of the v's that I changed all saved..but my new varibles didnt..


So then I tried this, I had the object while not in prototype mode, and changed the indivigual objects weight, and one of my created values. Then I saved my idivigual charecter and rebooted. The weight was still changed when it started up again but the new value didnt save.

Can you paste the object that you saved and are changing from the area file?
