Completion Notes

FINALLY! I think I got it...!

Progress Reports

Nov 07 2002
I found something in the code that was probably causing it. I'll need to reboot the MUD now (too many people at the moment) and then see if the bug still exists.
Nov 13 2002
I find something else in the code that might be breaking things. Apparently more than one light is being "turned off" when one light dies, and the remaining lights get cancelled by the one turning off. Let's see if this works...
Nov 14 2002
I found another problem. Turns out that when the fires expire, the room light count goes down... and when the fire is removed from the world, the light count goes down AGAIN, for the same object. Need to reboot to test.
