Disappearing character action scripts

dreamrider

Expected Behavior:
Customization scripts, once set, will remain set and active for the character until game end or until changed by the player.

Bugged behavior:
Character customization scripts revert to CUSTOM (None) sometimes.

This seems to happen after a level-up, but not to every character and not every time. Intermittent.

Once it reverts to CUSTOM (None), the script apparently never recovers/pops back to player setting. It has to be noticed and re-set. Then it seems to be stable until some later level-up.

I have the vague impression that this happens more commonly with the "active check" scripts, mainly Thief scripts that involve Trap Checking; but those are the scripts that I am most likely to notice not performing and check on, so that may a skewed perception on my part.

There is also the possibility that the reversion to CUSTOM (None) does not occur until the next Save/Quit/Restart cycle, after the Level Up.


(BTW - what exactly does CUSTOM (None) script do? Does it generate ANY character actions/responses, or is it just "do nothing, wait for player input"? If it does do something, that should be explained somewhere in game.)

I thought I noticed this myself at one point, but shrugged it off as me making a mistake when I was last messing with characters and which script their using.

The only way I've seen this is via the character leaving the party (booted or petrified, then recruited again). Still looking, but did either of those things happen.
Thanks

Not to the character that lost script - Coran, in this case.

I believe that there MAY have been a REFORM PARTY event in which another was asked to leave.

Once again, I seem to have found an intermittent only problem. Does not happen with regularity, maybe once in 25 hours play.

Game WAS saved/stopped, and PC turned off, just before this latest occurance.
