tbaMUD Continued development of the CircleMUD core

This is a list of cases I detected where the wearability of the item in the .obj file apparently does not match where a MOB is being told to wear it on load in the .zon file:

Most of these seem to just be confusions about where something is to be worn (particularly BODY -vs- ABOUT, and odd items like "badges").

However, some are clearly NOT mistakes (for example, Smurfette's bracelet IS a ring for most, but a bracelet for her). But, I have included all of them anyway, for completeness, and so you can make your own calls about them, as you did with the bad wields I sent earlier.

Of course, as always, I could just be confused about how this is supposed to work.

Thanks, most were improperly set. A few were shop items, and others were meant to be that way. You can equip a mob anywhere with any item without causing any problems. But I did fix them, thanks for pointing them out.

I left these alone:

Yep, that fixed most of them. I updated from subversion and I see a few more than your final list.

Here is the complete list I detect now:
Note: My codebase can't easily detect items worn in the "HOLD" slot, so those weren't/aren't included.

Thanks, I did miss a few.

Some are mistakes, such as confusing on body and about body. Some are errors in translation, such as wearing glasses on your head because there is no face slot. However, and it sounds as if you noticed this, I think Smurfette's bracelet was a joke about her size.

The place where I think I've seen the worst errors in translation is weapons. Most bases, including TBA, use numbers to represent different weapon types. However, TBA uses different numbers. So, for instance, if you're copying an area file from ROM, Diku or Smaug, you'll notice that whip you're remaking is weapon type 4 which creates a message something like: Your cat o nine tails whips the enemy. So if you enter 4, you'll end up with a message like: Your cat o nine tails bites the enemy.
