Resurrect has been disabled until such time as it's been debugged. It's causing far more work for me than I want. Messed up stats, incorrect exp....I'll look at when I have time, unless someone else wants to take a stab at fixing it Smile

I think it's re-enabled. The bug appears to be with weakness or something of the sorts.

To help track down this stat bug, I coded a quick function to make sure your stats are appropriate for your level. If they are not, a message will appear in both the info and score screens. You can also type "csc" to see if your stats add up.

You cast a resurrection spell on Sephiroth.
Target and backup have the same experience.
Your resurrection attempt failed.
### Juju just resurrected Sephiroth from the dead!

I put in some checks:

If the backup has the same EXP as the target, resurrection fails.
If the backup's stats do not add up, resurrection fails.

This means you can cast resurrect and not worry if it'll break; it will tell you "This won't work!" and will fail. The true bug is figuring out why the backup gets messed up, but atleast this will prevent any further damage.

I've tracked the ress bug down a little bit further: your character is backed up whenever you log on or off. So, if you die and log off, your backup is suddenly in Limbo and has the same EXP as you, meaning ress will fail.

I can't find any save code for login/logout, and the save function looks like it's working properly. With this info I should be able to figure it out soon, but in the mean time, if you die and want a ress, don't log off!

We've figured out the resurrect bug. The following characters were bugged:

Aldryn
Avril
Daerak
Daerik
Decius
Delta
Deltoid
Dhairn
Disaron
Duff
Ghost
Johny
Juju
Kur
Lark
Mauzzkyl
Savien
Sephiroth
Slim
Steel
Usagi
Wicked
Xerxes
Zale
Zares
Zenith

For some reason, their backup files were linked to the normal file. This means anytime you typed "save", a backup of you was created. If you were in Limbo and relogged, your backup would be saved over and resurrect would fail. This bug was difficult to find because none of the code was bad, but it had to do with the filesystem.

The backup files for these characters have been deleted. If you're currently in Limbo and need a ress, you'll need to talk to a DM.
