Summary0007815: world.dat code parsing flaw 1
DescriptionQuick dev details: The way CharacterLook (61,X <- world.dat marker) gets parsed needs to be checked over.

Preface: This bug took me a bit to crack, but I've figured it out now. Related in a minor way to 0007788, though I believe this is what really causes all the issues, perhaps including 0007482 too. Dupe of 0007613

Why it happens, educated guess: It's using the stat mechanics for Ice Age character base values as a default, if it can't find a valid Century/CharacterLook value.

Requirements to reproduce: at least 1 suit (snowsuit/heatsuit/advanced heatsuit), Time Of Magic unlocked.

How to (minorly) reproduce:

-Choose Ice Age/Cold Tolerant character.
-Equip a snowsuit.
ESC MENU SHOWS -> base stats: unchanged, Cold Tolerant still, no From Century line.
-Exit game.

How to identically reproduce:

-Choose Time Of Magic character.
MY STATS -> Base stats: 45/125%/350, From Century: Time Of Magic | WORLD.dat: 490 CharacterLook field, 1920501988 CharacterSeed field.
-Equip snowsuit.
ESC MENU SHOWS -> base stats: unchanged, Cold Tolerant now, no From Century line.
-Exit game.
WORLD.dat: 462 CharacterLook field.
-Rejoin game.
ESC MENU SHOWS -> base stats: CHANGED 45/105%/150, Cold Tolerant still, no From Century line.
-Remove snowsuit, equip heatsuit.
ESC MENU SHOWS -> base stats: 45/105%/150 (same, still changed), Heat Tolerant instead, no From Century line.
-Exit game.
WORLD.dat: 464 CharacterLook field.
-Rejoin game.
ESC MENU SHOWS -> base stats: 45/105%/150 (again, still the changed stats), Heat Tolerant still, no From Century line.
-Remove heatsuit.
ESC MENU SHOWS -> base stats: 45/105%/150 (soon to revert), Tolerant to neither, From Century: Time Of Magic
-Exit game.
WORLD.dat: 490 CharacterLook field.
-Rejoin game.
ESC MENU SHOWS -> base stats: ORIGINAL 45/125%/350, Tolerant to neither still, From Century: Time Of Magic

This sounds similar to 0007613, but a lot more details here. =)

Ah, I forgot about that one. That's the exact same problem as here (forgot about bat/micro-trex (?) that actually works on dinos and 'bots), with the exact same cause I'd bet. That one little field that decides the fate of a lot of data. Took me a few hours (for today) to diagnose it. Adding relations now.

Thanks!

* Fixed a bug where the stats of characters would be incorrectly set after loading from a savegame if they were wearing a suit or transmogrified into some other entity type.

Actually the world.dat stuff isn't wrong at all, but it's something else kind of related.
