*Looting* appears above heads randomly

I have yet to see this but one of my players and atleast one of my staff has seen a situation where *Looting* appears above the head of a player even though that player was simply standing and doing nothing. I am told this also will cause a player to become unhidden as well.

A bit of background...we are running POL 95 with older WoD scripts that have been tweaked a bit. Actually tweaked a lot. Was just wondering if anyone has had this problem and what the fix might be.

We didn't have this occur until we upgraded to POL 95.

You know how you can use the Find option in Windows to find files and folders matching certain names? Well, you can also use it to find files containing certain text. Try that out looking thru your POL files for the word "looting". Something should come up, right?

I use Z-Tree Win (http://www.ztree.com)for all text string searches. Much better at finding stuff than Windows search.

Searched for text *looting* and found it right where I expected to find it. Only in the onrenove scripts attached to corpses and a couple other "use" scripts.

Think I may have fixed it. Had to do with a change in POL 95 parameters passed to the onremove scripts.

Thanks anyway.
