Topic: ^session_flags no longer correctly reset
The previous behavior of flags prefixed with ^ was that they would reset when a player logged off.
Currently it does not appear to always do this, leading to subtle bugs.
Re: ^session_flags no longer correctly reset
Are you sure this is what you are seeing?
The one non-obvious behavior right now is that ^flag, if not set, gets its value from the stored flag (without the ^), though it caches that value for the session (setting the permanent flag later does not change the ^flag). But I'd thought it has always been that way. I will look into this though.
Re: ^session_flags no longer correctly reset
I've had two instances where I had to reset a particular ^flag on a player to get some feature working again. I don't think I've ever used the same flag names without the ^ so those should be 0. Then again it has been over a decade since I last really worked on any of the scripts.
The most recent example was the ^active_storm flag on ~pr0phet~. Had to manually set that to 0.
Re: ^session_flags no longer correctly reset
Turns out it was worse than this. Since October 2024, all in-memory flags had been saving to disk instead. Probably not the greatest given the limited rewrite cycles of SSDs. Anyway, it's fixed now. Thanks for reporting this bug
