Mob Flags not saving. was created by Liko
I added a new MOB_QM flag. It seems not to be saving/working correctly.

I want it to display

(QM) Bob stands here.

I defined all the right stuff in structs.h, constants.h, and act.informative.c. It just won't work. It displays nothing. I can set the flag. It shows the mob having the flag displayed. It just won't output the above example. Any suggestions?

Can you do a diff of your addition?

This might help:

Though it replaces a flag and doesn't add a new one. Did you increment the total number of flags?

Yes I also increased num_mob_flags

Okay, its saving correctly, it just doesn't want to output the QM when a player looks.

Here is what I'm using in list_one_char
Code:
if (IS_NPC(i)) { if(MOB_FLAGGED(i, MOB_QM)) send_to_char(ch, "(QM) "); }

It should be outputting, but it's not. The QM flag is registering as being set. Any ideas?

You placed the "QM" in the wrong spot. Keep in mind that npcs have 2 types of displays, 1) full long description "MobX is standing here looking your way." and altered description. "MobX is (position) here." I'm betting if you force your questmaster to sit or sleep you will see the flag. Just a guess though without seeing the whole list_one_char function.
