Not sure if this was a change you did now, or if it has been done earlier - but any particular reason why sea serpents/kraken have NPCAI=6 instead of 2? As far as I remember, they're very hostile creatures in UO

I changed them because they belong to the "predator" race, but if it's wrong just change it back.

Ah, well, so does (for instance) a dire wolf - and that has npcai 2 as well =) While they may all be predators, what makes them differ from other predators like bears, normal wolves, cougars, etc - is their default hostility towards human characters =P And therefor, NPCAI 2

Ok, then I'll create a new race for the normally non-hostile predators. Because without NPCAI 6 they would hunger to death

Oh? I was of the impression that only tame pets or npcs with NPCAI=6 would hunger? How exactly did it work, again?

There are two ways NPCs can hunger. As tamed NPC when the TAMEDHUNGER tag is set in the NPC dfn or as untamed NPC when the HUNGER tag is set in races.dfn. The "tamed hunger" may cause the pet to go wild again when the pet is starving, the "untamed hunger" can cause health loss when the NPC (or PC) is starving.

Ah.. right. Hm. What happens to an NPC with NPCAI=6, has HUNGER tag set in races.dfn and can't find anything to attack/eat?

It will hunger to death, just like in real-life

.

Edit: You can also set the value for the hunger damage to 0 in the HUNGER tag, then nothing will happen to it. It just continues searching for something to attack.

Memory usage looks really good with this and it seems faster. Are there any know drawbacks?

Not pertaining to this code, no..

I have however been having my own issues with spidermonkey. The latest build (I found a VC6 project file for it) is very sluggish in debug and crashes in release.

Yes. The "best" version I found so far is a CVS checkout from 25. January 2006, that still compiles using nmake and seems quite stable.

Doh! Typical error from me, writing the if-statement the exact other way around than I wanted it to work.

Look at the size of your worldfiles, 0.98-3.4t has more or less doubled every item/char I had in them. So I had to use a backup of my worldfiles that was made before using 0.98-3.4t and all works fine.
