Inserting scrolls into spellbooks

I have rescripted the spell casting to use a slightly modified version of the spellStarter script in POL 96/97 Distro with my converted POL 95 to 96 Distro but I am having a problem with inserting scrolls into the spellbook. I have read the corechanges (well searched through for refs to scroll anyway) and found no special changes to make them insertable into a spellbook. They do get inserted or atleast appear to be but when I open the book the pages are blank. I can only drop one of each kind of scroll in the book. Which is normal and why I believe they are being inserted. When I use the .spellbook command that book appears empty as well.

Here is a typical entry in my itemdesc file for scrolls and the spellbook:

Try changing the class the scroll goes into from 'Item' to 'SpellScroll' ?

Thanks Austin.

I seem to be encountering some strange errors. The odd thing is that on my "scripting/test" server the whole thing works but when I replace (delete and copy over) the public server with the test server I begin to get these errors.

I have fixed my scroll problem somehow without using your suggestion but I will go ahead and change the class anyway as that is the new standard.

Austin,

My 096 scripts seem to insert scrolls just fine with the 64 scrolls defined as Item.
Any special reason for suggesting SpellScroll?

OldNGrey,

I also somehow fixed them without changing the class to SpellScroll. I did make the change anyway though in the event that is the way the cfg files are going. The strange thing is I don't know what I did to break it in the first place.

Maybe I'm just getting old.

*smiles wryly*

Perhaps I should ask the board admins to change my name to "OldNGreyer"/

Nope,
I officially adopted Grey from a former user of the IRC forums a number of years ago with he permission. You can't, so there.

From my meagre pickings of Austin's brain I would have thought changing to 'SpellScroll' would only have an effect on the isa(POLClass xxxxx ) stuff.

Hey no fair picking Austin's brain. From what he's told me he needs every bit of what he's got.

*grins*
