When I enter a map for the first time, sometimes the monsters don't notice me. They don't attack, they're not even moving. When I log out and re-enter again they usually start attacking. Weird... The reason might be that the friendly object "player" is not treated right, maybe it's even missing in the list of friendly objects when this happens. I tried as DM "dumpfriendlyobjects" on such a map, and I couldn't find anything in the logs. Looks like this bug appeared after checkin of Mark's patch concerning friendly_objects. But it could well be that the bug existed before and has only been "triggered" by one of the changes. I can remember similar things happening before, but it used to be much more rare. - Any ideas?
