My config +/- will add an act flag, or a pcflag, but for some odd reason it's not saving it to the player.
The defines have been set in mud.h in the player_flags enum as a PLR_ flag.
Every other flag is works completely fine, except the two new ones i created, they can be turned on or off, but when the player logs off, or a reboot, or a hotboot has been done, the flags are reset even though none of those flags are set to be removed from the player by any other means. and it's completely racking my mind..

The extended bitvector or EXT_BV for act - excepts up to 256 bits, and the enum for player_flags is carrying 134 bits, so I know it's not that the bitvector isn't being overloaded or anything as i've dbl checked. but the part I don't understand is how every other bit config is working in the config function but these two specific ones ive added, there's gotta be something stupid im missing because i need something to work lol.

I am more familiar with 1.4 than FUSS but I don't see anything here with an entry within const char *const plr_flags [] in build.c? I don't have FUSS running but that is the only thing I can see missing.

ok so you have them setup so you can set them but more to it all then just do_config part. Have to put where you added them in all the other places too for us to be able to help. wouldn't help to check the way it saves and loads the flags as well.

I don't think you have declare anything new to fread/load in new flags since they're all in one place within the pc_data or something. I am looking over a commit I did and I don't think I changed anything there.

Admittedly I am pretty new to coding/mud coding.

In do_config I added:

		set_char_color( AT_DGREEN, ch );
		send_to_char( "\n\r\n\rMap:       ", ch );
		set_char_color( AT_GREY, ch );
		ch_printf( ch, "%-12s\n\r", 
					xIS_SET(ch->act, PLR_MAPPER )	? "[+] MAPPER" : "[-] mapper");

and:

		else if ( !str_prefix( arg + 1, "mapper" ) )
			bit = PLR_MAPPER;

and in mud.h added in the enum for player_flags

PLR_MAPPER,

and in build.c within const plr_flags [] = added:

, "mapper"

Honestly that looks like it.

Double check how many bits you can set as well in mud.h? I think the standard is 128. I would be extremely cautious changing any of this though. Changing the alignment or number of these could offset where its looking for the flags and cause a lot of issues. I'd do a full backup before messing with it at all personally.

/*
 * Defines for extended bitvectors
 */
#ifndef INTBITS
  #define INTBITS	32
#endif
#define XBM		31	/* extended bitmask   ( INTBITS - 1 )	*/
#define RSV		5	/* right-shift value  ( sqrt(XBM+1) )	*/
#define XBI		4	/* integers in an extended bitvector	*/
#define MAX_BITS	XBI * INTBITS

ok its been ages since i messed with flags but lets see, while on the character set the flags on and save then look at your pfile and see what it saved for your act in your pfile then turn them off and save and see what it saved in your pfile. if it is different with them on and off great they are being set and it knows it and is saving the change. if not then you need to see why it isn't. If it is doing fine up to that point then you need to figure out why its loosing them on loading up the pfile.

I've since fixed the issue, thanks though guys.

Could you share your solution in case someone comes across the same issue?
