I changed two ISPs before writing here.

Well, if you looked at that link I posted, you'll see that there are a whole crapload more than 2 naughty IP addresses in your IP block.

What is it now? Still can't complete registration. But my current IP isn't listed on that service.

I'm trying to figure out the exact range of effect for this item. The function code isn't much use to me beyond now knowing the max effect distance, and confirming that "Armor" mode grants 1 HexenArmor (which I already knew from gameplay). What's the random range on Health or Mana?

[Gez]

The random number generators of the form "pr_whatever()" return a value between 0 and 255. There's a %50, so you get a result between 0 and 49. So, taking the addition into account, it gives between 50 and 99 health when used by a cleric, 50 and 99 of both mana types when used by a mage, and up to one point of each armor type when used by a fighter. And the range is up to 25 map units.

OK, that's what I was missing. I'll update the wiki page with it, since I think it's relevant enough.

(Note: The Fighter's Incant effect sucks. A piddly AC is nowhere near worth a possible full heal or a huge chunk of ammo. I don't know why Raven overrated the quality of Hexen's armor so much. Hiding them around like rare and powerful treasures, when one piece can barely last a handful of scuffles.)

Incidentally, I always wondered why they used internal methods for the Incant and Icon, but not the Flechette. Thanks to ZDoom's invdrop, it's actually possible to have one class pick up flechettes and distribute them amongst the party with their own effect.

[Gez]

They handled all these things the same way; the question is why did ZDoom change the flechettes but not the others.

[NeuralStunner]

I wonder why the wiki's been slow as molasses lately? Not just for me, either.

[randi]

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

[Nightfall]

Looks like the diff function is broken. After you try to use it, the wiki won't respond for a minute. The diff eventually comes up, though.

[NeuralStunner]

I can get to valid pages by address bar, invalid ones (E.G. typos) will lag for a long while.

[randi]

So, apparently the problem was the CheckSpambots extension. I've disabled it for now; hopefully the other anti-spam measures are sufficient.

StrCopy is not a valid function; it's actually StrCpy.

[KPu3uC B Poccuu]

I still unable to register there.

The A_RailAttack and A_CustomRailgun pages are missing the RGF_CENTERZ flag documentation.
