My attack data is going haywire when i try to edit any of the attacks or just scroll through them. It is setting bitsets randomly, altering captions/descriptions with garbage strings, etc.

This is happening on the The O.H.R.RPG.C.E version xocolatl+2 (released April 3 2009)

The RPG file i'm working with has been edited using a recent nightly build. Ironically I had to use the nightly build to avoid crashes that the xocolatl version was producing when editing NPC's (thread is a few down from this one actually). I'm not sure if there's some kind of reverse compatibility issue going on here or what this is.

Any idea? Thanks.

There's been changes to the Attack Data code and NPC code in the nightlies that isn't compatible with Xocolatl+2's Custom. Using X+2 to modify a game that's seen a nightly build causes these menus to not work properly.

Try editing the most recent release of Wandering Hamster in X+2 to see what I mean.

Once you have switched to a nightly build, you cannot go back to the stable release.

There was supposed to be a big read warning message in Xocolatl+2 that would warn you about that if you tried to open a game that had nightly-build data added to it, unfortunately the warning was broken :(

Stick with the nightylies. Sorry about the missing warning message.
I'll add a warning to the nightly download page.
