Engagement System (Minor) Fixes 05/07/2001 07:05 PM CDT
I released the new code for handling the "closes to <x> range" portion of the system. Hopefully, this code will solve a few previous bugs, and generally make the code much easier for us to develop and modify in the future.

The "23 <anything> at melee" has been fixed. The problem was that engagement sizes were checked only when a creature attempted to advance, but not when it was actually closing to various ranges. This was a problem for creatures only.

This code change only involves creatures closing to pole/melee range. In the hopefully near future, Changes to the advance verb similar to the fixes for creature advancement should help with future maintenance and kill off any bugs that arise from creatures and players handling engagement differently.
