Question Dex Stat crashing mud.

Hello,
So I decided to change the stat dex to an int. I increased that it can be set to 20,000. Well if you set dex over 18,000 it will disconnect the player. I can't find why.

Note: seems like dex is the only one that is crashing it. All others work fine.

Any ideas?

have you adjusted the places the stat is used?

Yes sir. It's crashing as soon as I copyover. Wis, str, and all that work fine. Don't know why Dex is crashing it. Try to recreate it and see if it happens to you. Copyover goes thru then crash.

I'm not sure I made myself clear.

All of these places, GET_DEX(ch) is used to lookup in an array:
github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/2f12752373.../act.movement.c#L595
github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/2f12752373...src/act.other.c#L117
github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/2f12752373...f8a4/src/fight.c#L92

We are in C here, so array[100000] is a valid statement, regardless of whether the array only has one element. This can cause all sorts of problems.

Unless you have fixed it, STRENGTH_APPLY_INDEX gives you the same problem.

Ah. Seemed I missed one. Silly me.

grep is your friend
