Character corruption bug affecting new characters, working on fixing now.

I'll roll back his character first.

edit: *sigh* If I can find it... This is doubly bad for new characters, as not only does it alienate players - but they tend to be under a day or two old which makes restoring them either impossible or pointless.

His character should be close to a week old.

As for bug fixes, Ive just aquired visual c++ and I have been studying the engine on my free time. Im a fairly good programmer, but it impesses me a lot to see how insanely unique MS is, and how difficult it must have been to get this far through half-lifes rediculously limited & old engine.

It seems learning the engine isn't the most simple process, but once I get through understanding a few other concepts of the engine, I may be able to help you [mainly with bug fixes and optimizing, it's what im best at] if it's still needed by the time I have a natural understand.
Ive coded a few things for amx, some pure directx, simplified DX engines, and a couple rpg/mmorpg engines. Ive managed to compile the dll's without a problem, and edit a couple minor things. No biggy but its a start.

If you have a copy of VS2003 maybe I can hook you up with something, all my dependable coders vanish, and those of us that remain are hackers at best.

Granted, if you can actually do anything with it - I'll have to send you to Lord K and the MS:S team... But I'm convinced he eats the coders I send him.
