I mean I don't know how to use this:
"In short: %256, %65536" within the code. So first I get the value in y72
then I do what? because if I do y72%256 I get always 0. I am lost...
Look into the help: y72 means nothing when checking for morale/luck. You need to check y71.
Right, solved for morale and luck, now get correct results with %256.
But neither %256 or %65536 give me valid results for primary skills.
Solved creatures (65536), remains primary skills.
This allows reading on seer hut/quest guard both quest/reward + date limit (if any) on right-click.
Only this remaining unsolved:
!!VRz3&y70=6:S^+%Y72 %Z4^; y72 gets overflow
I don't see where you extract primary skill value from y72.
I tried and get strange values, both %256 and %65536 for y72. None is good.
This way then removed wrong code.
Ok, I got the right equation:
How is this translated in maths?
It is equivalent to (y72-1)%256+1, which is equivalent to y72%256 except when y72 is divisible by 256 (then it's 256 instead of 0). Since the bonus to a skill can not be 256 (or 0 for that matter), your expression is the same as the initial one.
Ok, so I leave it as it is right now then, thanks. Mod reuploaded with complete informations.
Ok, I have wrong value in the case the first y72 is correct, I guess is related to Seer hut number or position. How can we know when the result is garbage or ok?
A solution would be to start %256 process only if y72>100 I think? And let normal value if y72<100 as it is very unlikely that a mapmaker offers more than 100 bonus in a seer?
Just checked and I see the problem. Computer signed division just works weirdly. Forget everything I (and Berserker) said about %. Use & instead.

I don't know. Let's hope the problem goes away when you switch to & method.
I think I solved for primary skills:
This gave 100% correct results on "the lone knight" map, where there are 48 seer huts.
Now I have same problem with creatures, so I have to find again.
No, just use &(number-1) instead of %number. E.g. &255 instead of %256, &65535 instread of %65536. It works.
Alternatively, if you have such liking to % operation, check the result afterwards and if it is less than 0, and the divisor (256, 65536 etc.) to the result.
but I solved the creatures problem also using same way, you advice me to start again and use &?
All huts now work correct.
