[CF-Devel] player losing the friendly flag?

[Mark Wedel]

 As a note, I checked in some code last night that should fix this latest bug.

 I believe players can lose the friendly flag.  Anything that causes it to get
lost on monsters should also work for players.  So things like mood floors,
certain spells, etc, would work.

 My latest fix no longer requires players to be on the friendly list - instead,
when looking for enemies, we will also search the player list for anything
appropriate.  That should be more bullet proof, as if you get removed from the
player list, you can't do anything anyways.

      It would seem so, maybe it happens on start up?
