The V687 update brings some new, subtle changes to the Clan Lord universe. One new change is not so subtle: the problem concerning logs of wood inexplicably vanishing should now be resolved.
I had printed a copy of the script that powers the log of wood, read through it, and marked a lot of notes within the margins. The script is not small by any means – it filled six printed pages! I was mildly surprised that something as simple as a log of wood could be so lengthy and complex. Moreover, as I reread the script, I realized two things: (1) I was out of practice in debugging scripts (shame on me), which lead to (2) I could not locate the cause of the problem within the script.
As the update drew near, I made a comment to the other GMs regarding this bug. LogOfWoodGM responded by applying a patch to the script, and I would like to acknowledge that it was he – not I – who made the final fix. My heart was in the right place, but my brain was not.
