the only change to extract_char is that it is now new_extract_char, with the bool for it. then the one if check if its death or not. everything else calls extract_char which then calls new_extrac with false for death, however in fight.c

   set_char_color( AT_DIEMSG, victim );
   if( victim->pcdata->mdeaths + victim->pcdata->pdeaths < 3 )
      do_help( victim, "new_death" );
   else
      do_help( victim, "_DIEMSG_" );

   new_extract_char( victim, FALSE, TRUE );
   if( !victim )
   {
      bug( "%s: oops! extract_char destroyed pc char", __FUNCTION__ );
      return;
   }

which is the only call that should tell extract that death is true.

Everything turns around in the end

Well, it's still very hard to say if it would work because we can only partially see the code, so . . . when you run the code, does it do what you expect?

If you want to see if you have leaks, you can run a tool like valgrind, if you have it available on your system.

By the way, did you put in that if (!victim) check in fight.c?

No i didn't, it was already there. The only thing I dont really know if its working correctly or not is this loaded objs business. In memory i have

IdxObjs: 88 Objs: 39(21)

Me being the only one on this confuses me some what. so theres 21 objects in the world but 39 ob those objs are worn or in another object? or is it 21 in the world that arn't worn or in something, and 39 that are worn and in something?

It might be 39 logical objs, but 21 object structure instances. Recall that objects can be grouped together ("stacked").

One thing you can try is just create corpses several times and see if that number goes up incorrectly or varies in some unexpected way. If it does, then you have a problem.

Objs: 48(29)
this is what happened after one of my players logged on an killed one of the mobs about 5 times. first number went up 5 from the blood she created, then 4 for the items she wearing? but if so that only accounts for the 48 and not the 29?
