Add a mob holding a light source or have a bunch of balls of light load on the ground to be picked up. Also be sure the room isnt flagged as dark.

If you look inside handler.c you see this ...


/*
 * True if room is dark.
 */
bool room_is_dark( ROOM_INDEX_DATA *pRoomIndex )
{
    if ( !pRoomIndex )
    {
        bug( "room_is_dark: NULL pRoomIndex", 0 );
        return TRUE;
    }

    if ( pRoomIndex->light > 0 )
        return FALSE;

    if ( IS_SET(pRoomIndex->room_flags, ROOM_DARK) )
        return TRUE;

    if ( pRoomIndex->sector_type == SECT_INSIDE
    ||   pRoomIndex->sector_type == SECT_CITY )
        return FALSE;

    if ( time_info.sunlight == SUN_SET
    ||   time_info.sunlight == SUN_DARK )
        return TRUE;

    return FALSE;
}



Now it seems it shouldn't be dark if the room sector type is "inside" or "city" however my room 10300 seems to be marked "in a forest" for some reason. Try changing the sector type to "inside" and see if the problem goes away.

I guess it would help to look at Sector instead of flags in Rstat :P
