Using a default install of Version 1.4a for Windows. After a few weeks of running the server, we noticed random blindness fits affecting characters. After further examination, this was found to be caused as a side effect of curative spells. This did not happen in the beginning. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

Thanks

No idea offhand. Your best bet is to use gdb to track it down. But when you say Windows, I don't know if you meant using Cygwin or not.

SMAUG 1.4a ported to 32-bit windows.

Ah well then I don't think you can use gdb. Try comparing your skills.dat file to stock skills.dat?

This was an old old issue, and from memory had to do with saving skills.dat from within areaeditor, download another copy of skills.dat and all should be fine.
