I'm almost embarassed to post on the forum with a black screen bug, for as old as I am. ;) But oh well. I recently installed the sd_DynamicAreaLighting library, and ever since then, my nifty little game Survival has been having black screen problems on login. I've tried a few "temporary remedies" such as loops executing every 5 seconds, checking for null locations and transferring the player to a random set of x and y values within a certain range, these don't seem to work either. (However, strangely enough, a verb I added, which does the exact same thing the login does, seems to work fine:
src.density = 0
src.loc = locate(/area/start)
src.density = 1)
I believe the problem is located in the actual lighting library, as beforehand all black screen errors were easily fixed by setting the density of the mob to 0, transferring, and resetting the density. So those of you with access to this library, would you mind looking over the procs (specifically atom/New() and atom/movable/Move()), and trying to spot where any sort of problem may be arising? If we can't find anything there, I'll post some of my corresponding code.
