handler.c, obj_to_char

Locate:

   if( IS_OBJ_FLAG( obj, ITEM_PROTOTYPE ) )
   {
      if( !IS_IMMORTAL( ch ) && !IS_ACT_FLAG( ch, ACT_PROTOTYPE ) )
         return obj_to_room( obj, ch->in_room, ch );
   }

Change to:

   if( IS_OBJ_FLAG( obj, ITEM_PROTOTYPE ) )
   {
      if( !IS_IMMORTAL( ch ) && ( !IS_NPC(ch) || !IS_ACT_FLAG( ch, ACT_PROTOTYPE ) ) )
         return obj_to_room( obj, ch->in_room, ch );
   }

update.c, mobile_update

Locate:

         for( obj = ch->in_room->first_content; obj; obj = obj->next_content )
         {
            if( CAN_WEAR( obj, ITEM_TAKE ) && obj->cost > max && !IS_OBJ_FLAG( obj, ITEM_BURIED ) )
            {
               obj_best = obj;
               max = obj->cost;
            }
         }

Change to:

         for( obj = ch->in_room->first_content; obj; obj = obj->next_content )
         {
            if ( IS_OBJ_FLAG( obj, ITEM_PROTOTYPE ) && !IS_ACT_FLAG( ch, ACT_PROTOTYPE ) )
               continue;
            if( CAN_WEAR( obj, ITEM_TAKE ) && obj->cost > max && !IS_OBJ_FLAG( obj, ITEM_BURIED ) )
            {
               obj_best = obj;
               max = obj->cost;
            }
         }

mspecial.c, spec_janitor

Locate:

      if( !IS_WEAR_FLAG( trash, ITEM_TAKE ) || IS_OBJ_FLAG( trash, ITEM_BURIED ) )
         continue;

Below that, add:

      if( IS_OBJ_FLAG( trash, ITEM_PROTOTYPE ) && !IS_ACT_FLAG( ch, ACT_PROTOTYPE ) )
         continue;

Janitors and scavenger mobs do not check if the shiny objects they want are prototype. If the object is prototype, they will repeatedly issue echos to the effect that they have picked it up, when in fact they have not.
