/** The total number of Room Flags */
#define NUM_ROOM_FLAGS 33 /* Jedi specific */

As stated it is every bitvector that uses "F". So its not just Rooms, but objects, zones, every thing I have that has past 31 bits.

It's not the room flag 32 that's causing problems, you're getting boot errors for room flags that go beyond 32.

From the very first line you're trying to load room flag 39.
Code:
SYSERR: room #702 has unknown room flag, bit 39 (0 through 32 known).
You're trying to use flags you don't have.

Not true at all. I use a-zABCDEF

And in the game I have no issues using the flags or displaying them.

That is an odd one, perhaps look everywhere "ROOM_DUMP" is used to see if it is modifying the value?

Working on it. I have reverted my old school jedimud flags we used for 30 new years which was upper case then over case. I'll see how that works. I'm also about to test my flags on tbamud-2020 to see if I get the same result

I’ve noticed the same issue. Errors are reported when using bit 32 and higher. To test this I used the 2020 release and added object affect flags and then created a new object using bits 4 (DET-ALIGN) and 32 (NEW31). The SYSERR for bit 35 doesn’t appear until bit 32 is added. Removing bit 4 will cause the bit 35 error to go away. Using more bits above 32 will result in additional errors.

From the .obj file – Flags are correct.
