The bugs are just piling up.

While playing Sword of Jade, I found that after fighting a few battles, my inventory was COMPLETELY filled with Up potions - 131 sets each.

Also, on some of their custom menus, the game just freezes randomly.

What version are you playing under? The random items bug surfaced earlier, but is thought to be squashed.

This is a new style of random items. Use the latest nightly to reproduce it. This bug is far worse, since it places over 10000 items into your inventory without warning after battle. Sword of Jade is where it happened.

Well that's just not good at all.

Ooh, no it isn't. Ok, this is my hypothesis as to what happened:

A long long time ago, when the Attack.bin lump was added, it was initialized to a certain size. Only the first 60 or so bytes of it was actually initialized to 0, however, as the rest was unused. Thus, the rest was filled with garbage.

Now, however, we're starting to occupy the rest of the unused space, and now the garbage (saved forever more in the Attack.bin in OHRRPGCE.NEW) is showing up in the new options.

Now, there's not much I can do, really. Ok, that's not true. I have an idea how to fix this, and prevent it from causing any more problems ever. I'll keep you posted.

Oh, the item-consuming attacks? Hrm, that IS unfortunate.
