Ah, that worked.
Thanks so much for everyone who helped!

One thing, old mobs now have that variable as "8,243,966,800,626,345,332". Why is this?

Glad to help. What likely happened was that it was trying to write out to the file, and the variable was null, so it created a random number it pulled from memory. Or, when it was trying to load the mobs without that number, same thing, read in from some random part of memory. Easiest thing to do is make it initialize the variable when it first creates the mob, in create_mobile I think, initialize it as 0, and then later on if the index is not zero, it would set it to whatever the appropriate value is.

Well, in create_mobile, I already have it set in there as

    mob->numattacks             = pMobIndex->numattacks;
    mob->mvr                    = pMobIndex->mvr;
    mob->speaks                 = pMobIndex->speaks;


So you want me to change it to..

    mob->mvr                    = 0;

No, sorry, not create_mobile, my bad, load_mobiles. Should have a section something like this:

	if ( letter == 'C' || letter == 'Z' ) /* Realms complex mob 	-Thoric  */
	{
	    pMobIndex->perm_str			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_int			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_wis			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_dex			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_con			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_cha			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_lck			= fread_number( fp );
 	    pMobIndex->saving_poison_death	= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_wand		= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_para_petri	= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_breath		= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_spell_staff	= fread_number( fp );
	    ln = fread_line( fp );
	    x1=x2=x3=x4=x5=x6=x7=0;
	    sscanf( ln, "%d %d %d %d %d %d %d",
		&x1, &x2, &x3, &x4, &x5, &x6, &x7 );
	    pMobIndex->race		= x1;
	    pMobIndex->height		= x3;
	    pMobIndex->weight		= x4;
	    pMobIndex->speaks		= x5;
	    pMobIndex->speaking		= x6;
	    pMobIndex->numattacks	= x7;
	    if ( !pMobIndex->speaks )
		pMobIndex->speaks = race_table[pMobIndex->race].language | LANG_BASIC;
	    if ( !pMobIndex->speaking )
		pMobIndex->speaking = race_table[pMobIndex->race].language;

	    ln = fread_line( fp );
	    x1=x2=x3=x4=x5=x6=x7=x8=0;
	    sscanf( ln, "%d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d",
		&x1, &x2, &x3, &x4, &x5, &x6, &x7, &x8 );
	    pMobIndex->hitroll		= x1;
	    pMobIndex->damroll		= x2;
	    pMobIndex->xflags		= x3;
	    pMobIndex->resistant	= x4;
	    pMobIndex->immune		= x5;
	    pMobIndex->susceptible	= x6;
	    pMobIndex->attacks		= x7;
	    pMobIndex->defenses		= x8;
	}
	else 
	{
	    pMobIndex->perm_str		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_dex		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_int		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_wis		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_cha		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_con		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_lck		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->race		= 0;
	    pMobIndex->xflags		= 0;
	    pMobIndex->resistant	= 0;
	    pMobIndex->immune		= 0;
	    pMobIndex->susceptible	= 0;
	    pMobIndex->numattacks	= 0;
	    pMobIndex->attacks		= 0;
	    pMobIndex->defenses		= 0;
	}

change it to such:, in the appropriate place, I think its:

	if ( letter == 'C' || letter == 'Z' ) /* Realms complex mob 	-Thoric  */
	{
	    pMobIndex->perm_str			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_int			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_wis			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_dex			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_con			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_cha			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_lck			= fread_number( fp );
 	    pMobIndex->saving_poison_death	= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_wand		= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_para_petri	= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_breath		= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_spell_staff	= fread_number( fp );
	    ln = fread_line( fp );
	    x1=x2=x3=x4=x5=x6=x7=0;
	    sscanf( ln, "%d %d %d %d %d %d %d",
		&x1, &x2, &x3, &x4, &x5, &x6, &x7 );
	    pMobIndex->race		= x1;
	    pMobIndex->height		= x3;
	    pMobIndex->weight		= x4;
	    pMobIndex->speaks		= x5;
	    pMobIndex->speaking		= x6;
	    pMobIndex->numattacks	= x7;
	    if ( !pMobIndex->speaks )
		pMobIndex->speaks = race_table[pMobIndex->race].language | LANG_BASIC;
	    if ( !pMobIndex->speaking )
		pMobIndex->speaking = race_table[pMobIndex->race].language;

	    ln = fread_line( fp );
	    x1=x2=x3=x4=x5=x6=x7=x8=0;
	    sscanf( ln, "%d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d",
		&x1, &x2, &x3, &x4, &x5, &x6, &x7, &x8 );
	    pMobIndex->hitroll		= x1;
	    pMobIndex->damroll		= x2;
	    pMobIndex->xflags		= x3;
	    pMobIndex->resistant	= x4;
	    pMobIndex->immune		= x5;
	    pMobIndex->susceptible	= x6;
	    pMobIndex->attacks		= x7;
	    pMobIndex->defenses		= x8;
	}
	else 
	{
	    pMobIndex->perm_str		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_dex		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_int		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_wis		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_cha		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_con		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->perm_lck		= 10;
	    pMobIndex->race		= 0;
	    pMobIndex->xflags		= 0;
	    pMobIndex->resistant	= 0;
	    pMobIndex->immune		= 0;
	    pMobIndex->susceptible	= 0;
	    pMobIndex->numattacks	= 0;
            pMobIndex->mvr              = 0;
	    pMobIndex->attacks		= 0;
	    pMobIndex->defenses		= 0;
	}

Just the part for non-complex mobs. If that doesn't work, it means that the value was written into the files, and if so, that something else entirely.

Well, uh, it looks like this right now

        }
        else
        {
            pMobIndex->perm_str         = 13;
            pMobIndex->perm_dex         = 13;
            pMobIndex->perm_int         = 13;
            pMobIndex->perm_wis         = 13;
            pMobIndex->perm_cha         = 13;
            pMobIndex->perm_con         = 13;
            pMobIndex->perm_lck         = 13;
            pMobIndex->race             = 0;
            pMobIndex->class            = 3;
            pMobIndex->xflags           = 0;
            pMobIndex->resistant        = 0;
            pMobIndex->immune           = 0;
            pMobIndex->susceptible      = 0;
            pMobIndex->numattacks       = 0;
            pMobIndex->mvr              = 5;
#ifdef XBI
            xCLEAR_BITS(pMobIndex->attacks);
            xCLEAR_BITS(pMobIndex->defenses);
#else
            pMobIndex->attacks          = 0;
            pMobIndex->defenses         = 0;

Looks a bit different than yours. I wanted 5 to be default when the mob is created.

thats for simple mobs, correct? So, either its loading that 8 trillion number when it should be setting it to 5, but I doubt thats its, so whats probably happening is that its setting the 8 trillion number for complex mobs when it has nothing to read in, so you could set it like such:

	if ( letter == 'C' || letter == 'Z' ) /* Realms complex mob 	-Thoric  */
	{
            pMobIndex->mvr                   = 5;
	    pMobIndex->perm_str			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_int			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_wis			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_dex			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_con			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_cha			= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->perm_lck			= fread_number( fp );
 	    pMobIndex->saving_poison_death	= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_wand		= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_para_petri	= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_breath		= fread_number( fp );
	    pMobIndex->saving_spell_staff	= fread_number( fp );
	    ln = fread_line( fp );
	    x1=x2=x3=x4=x5=x6=x7=0;
	    sscanf( ln, "%d %d %d %d %d %d %d",
		&x1, &x2, &x3, &x4, &x5, &x6, &x7 );
	    pMobIndex->race		= x1;
	    pMobIndex->height		= x3;
	    pMobIndex->weight		= x4;
	    pMobIndex->speaks		= x5;
	    pMobIndex->speaking		= x6;
	    pMobIndex->numattacks	= x7;

thus, initializing it to 5, and then it will change it if it is supposed to.

Well, that didn't change anything, still a large variable. Oh well, its not a problem, I was just wondering why. All I have to do is change the mobs variable to something lower.
