Hydrites Sweep - Causes game crash..

Michael,

Sorry to bug you.. However there is an issue possibly with the novice OOII
build..

I've posted this information as an email to the sysop msg 789 I think..

Anyway I'll repost.

I was getting ready to make Spank your monkey into a pile of rubble for fun
and profit, and had picked up a duroplast from the base I have..

While going to the base, the Hydrite cleaning event occurred. (The Hydrites
are sweeping the lands clean)

Okay, so it was interesting to me that an item was left at my location.. it
was item # 45) transmitter.

When I tried to pick up said transmitter, the game dropped to shell , ie back
to the bbs..

When going back into the game, I noticed my duroplast was gone (Big deal
whoo-hoo) but the thing that I found interesting, was even though I had like
four slots open, I was unable to pick up my other duroplast I had in my base,
as the game said my slots were full..

Okay interesting.. So I went into the wastelands, because perhaps the item was
just hidden, and I was going to play with this issue..

I wasn't able to pick up other items either.... also, the duroplast item was
not usable next to the base.

So I'm heading back to the base, and fought a creature, and that worked well,
and then.. The hydrite event happened again...

With the same results.. and I tried to pick up the item again.. with the
same results..

I didn't go back into the game..

I figured you needed to know....

I haven't' gotten access to the forum yet , or I would have posted the bug
there.. UPDATE ( I JUST GOT ACCESS -- So i'm reposting this to the forum) !!! Thank You!!!

Thank you!
