To start, I havn't touched the mental_state code, but it seems that without eating, avatars still loose their mental_state for some reason. Code follows:

case COND_FULL:
if( ch->level < LEVEL_AVATAR && ch->Class != CLASS_VAMPIRE )
{
set_char_color( AT_HUNGRY, ch );
send_to_char( "You are STARVING!\n\r", ch );
act( AT_HUNGRY, "$n is starved half to death!", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_ROOM );
if( !IS_PKILL( ch ) || number_bits( 1 ) == 0 )
worsen_mental_state( ch, 1 );
retcode = damage( ch, ch, 1, TYPE_UNDEFINED );
}
break;

case COND_THIRST:
if( ch->level < LEVEL_AVATAR && ch->Class != CLASS_VAMPIRE )
{
set_char_color( AT_THIRSTY, ch );
send_to_char( "You are DYING of THIRST!\n\r", ch );
act( AT_THIRSTY, "$n is dying of thirst!", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_ROOM );
worsen_mental_state( ch, IS_PKILL( ch ) ? 1 : 2 );
retcode = damage( ch, ch, 2, TYPE_UNDEFINED );
}
break;

case COND_BLOODTHIRST:
if( ch->level < LEVEL_AVATAR )
{
set_char_color( AT_BLOOD, ch );
send_to_char( "You are starved to feast on blood!\n\r", ch );
act( AT_BLOOD, "$n is suffering from lack of blood!", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_ROOM );
worsen_mental_state( ch, 2 );
retcode = damage( ch, ch, ch->max_hit / 20, TYPE_UNDEFINED );
}
break;

help. I don't see the problem in the code. The ch->level < Avatar seems to be right, I just don't see what could be causing the loss of mst

Well then, if they aren't getting those messages, that part of the code is fine, it's elsewhere that is changing their mental state.

That's basically the only thing to do with hunger, but not mentalstate at all.

I'm fairly certain that there's some code I've seen in fight.c someplace that lowers your mental state when you take a particularly hard hit. I forget exactly the specifics of what a "hard hit" is, but I do think that it lowers mental state during combat under some circumstances.

Maybe that's what you're having happen?

That really HURT!

ch->pcdata->maxhit / 4

something like that I think. I looked through, and it seemed like dying also messed up your mst, but I think it is still a bug somewhere in the eat/drinking part, but I'm not certant. I'e changes the hard hit part to maxhp/3, wich at this point is only one mob who can do that (Executioner, oddly enough).

Erm.. not exactly.

Look for calls to "worsen_mental_state" and that should answer your questions about where and how mental state is being lowered.

Hopefully that helps?
