Day 67 - Unreachable

That is my quest, to follow that code…

In which we try to test some code, just to find it’s beyond our reach.

Test Every Day

Let’s keep barrelling through that config file, and come back to fill in the holes after. What’s next?

Ok, let’s get some samples of those log messages. I start up the production server and let it run for a while…

Nope, no indication that the NPCs are ever making it to the skill increase code. Glancing through some of the calling functions, it appears that NPCs always wind up in another code path. We get to mark this at @bug and move on.

Just so that I have some tests for today, I did the Underworld Portal Chant ones.
