I know you said recently Mask that a burn fix is coming.

I wanted to report, in the meantime, that all of a sudden it began working(ish). Meaning it started firing. However it wont stop until you end mac, /exit, or the server discos you for a patch (haha). I mean it spams like every 5 seconds, all toons, in EQBC (with a local MQ2Win echo) "Autobots Transform" from the Burn Sub Routine. I am assuming the burn1, burn2 etc fire. However, once the mob dies, they are stuck in that loop. I only report this now because I have not seen it before. I have only seen it simply not fire. I woke up this morning and all scroll backs were flooded with nothing else. It is "trying" to activate burn1, burn2 etc repetitively because mixed in the spam I see the "Spawn" msg that such and such isn't something (I can't remember the verbage, it's when you try to target something and mispell it or it hasn't spawned). AND possibly the invalid target msg.

I only post so you know, for some reason, it started firing the burn routine, and then gets stuck in an infinite loop. Previously, it just wouldn't fire. I hadn't changed this particular codebase. I mean if I am mucking with it I use kissassist9test. In this case, this is the virgin kissassist9 (6.1 beta from what, 6/1/16?).

Just thought someone should know...
 
I forgot to mention, my own Burn Text was mixed in the spam (something along the lines of Corncob his ASS!!! so I know it's mine). I have the mob in question BOTH in the KAInfo.INI (under appropriate zone) as well as BurnNameds=1 in the KA.Toon.ini.

Also, the reason why it was in a loop was because the mob has a lore item everyone in grp already had, so the corpse remained for however long. The toons trying to fire Burn had the corpse targeted.

Yes, I am just now getting to this (from early this morning). Like I said in another post, I keep a list, and work my way down it. I am just now getting to this. IF this is not helpful, please disregard.

I laughed out loud in an airport restaurant when I read "corncob his ass"
