fixing magma blast in v1.11n

i've been asked this like 3 times in the past day and a half. getting the magma blast spell in v1.11n is broken when you "ask gnome merchant magma scroll." that command executes block 2803 which is "The gnome merchant looks at you shrewdly..." it should be link to'd block 2804 but metro f'd up and it's not. so all you need to do to fix it is put in 2804 in the 'link to' field for block 2803 (and compile an update).

You know what's weird..is I'm running version 1.11n, and I've never touched that text block..but the mage on my BBS has that spell, it's not for sale, and I didn't give it to him..ahh well. Whenever something weird like this happens, shit on my board is always the opposite or some shit..it's weird.

I was able to get it on my board too. Maybe someone just had some funny dats.

i think this is why ....

what this means is when you install a new upgrade or even just a reinstall the changes WONT BE APPLIED until the update file has been run through. so if you install v1.11n over a v1.11m installation the dats wont have any of the v1.11n stats until the update file is processed. so dont just install N and then make a bunch of edits and compile an update because you'll basicly end up with dats from v1.11m and a dll for v1.11n.
being that this bug is a metro bug, and it's all over their forums, and every single legit 1.11n bbs has this problem, i think you guys did somethin' wrong :)

I know I didn't install correctly. But since I'm just in a testing phase right now, it doesn't really matter. I don't have any of the new items or anything that came with N, that'll all be taken care of when I open up to the public.
