Import NPC Thac0

[raif11152]

When I import an NPC the Thac0 in the Stat lock I import is always increased by 1. Like if I import a monster with thac0 15, it populates the field with a 16.

Bug or feature?

Found the issue. I'll submit the fix (their process wont do anything with it until NEXT Tuesday not the one coming up).

What it is doing right now is calculating the THACO based on HD, so 21-HD. This is a fallback method when it didnt find THACO. The issue was that my search pattern matching wasn't working as I expected (I come from regular expression and the LUA pattern matching isnt exactly the same).

Awesome. It's not much of an inconvenience. But it was a headscratcher. :)
