OBJECT BUGS FIXED

by Hazed

There were a number of bugs to do with the object display commands, which have now been fixed.

The most noticeable bug was that if you examined an object in your inventory, you wouldn't see the description - you had to wear it then look at yourself before you could see it! The missing description has now been put back. Thanks to Jazir for spotting this problem.

Also in the inventory, the objects were displayed just using their names, not the articles "a", "the" or "some". Those have been put back now.

The flags that determine whether an object is being worn or carried were not getting cleared when they should - so if you were wearing an object and you gave it to another person, they would automatically wear it. You could also drop an object then pick it up again and find you were still wearing it, and even stash it in your ship's locker and retrieve it straight back into a worn state. Well, that's all been fixed: now when you give an object away, drop it or stash it, the flags get cleared.

Finally, a stray blank line in between the object descriptions when you examined somebody who was wearing more than one thing has now been removed.
