The raw files are also needed for OSS when using new sound scheme. Also new
"sounds" file should be installed in ~/.crossfire or  some sounds whould be
broken  (too loud)

The bug  sill  occures in some situations. For example when taking things
from container.

But raffles still don't work. Did you check it. I was trying to find the
bug - it seems server cannot find a free place for the boulder.

This totally broken boulder&gates mechanism. Such as used in new Scorn
gate house andin raffles.
However I cannot remember the grass problem.
Would you please stop "fixing" those imaginary problems?

Did you checked it.It is great, but it doesn't work with random maps (/!
entrances).
However it was really funny when I started loosing my teeth.

When you  move yourself from the container, you still have it opened in the
"below" window.

When you don't have any money (or have it all in  your  pouch)  server
crashes.

Other bugs:
When  I tried  "word   of  recall"  to return to Scorn  city (gate  doesn't
work - move_gate bug and possibly map bug) it didn't work (forces started
to come, but nothing happened).

Thats all for now.

And please release next version as soon as possible, but only tested, and
with bug-fixes for REPORTED bugs.

Greets,
  Jacek
