NPC location loading woes

Last night I was greatly dismayed to discover that NPC locations for the current map are not restored when you load a saved game.

They are stored in the SAV file, but they are not restored when you load.

I have no idea how long this has been broken, and I am not even 100% sure that it has ever worked.

Does anybody remember NPC positions on the current map being restored when you save?

If so, does anybody remember when this stopped working.

*oh, my brain!*

Yes, it worked back when I released Metamorphosis. I think it was implemented around the same time.

Sorry, that probably doesn't narrow things down too much.

Interesting. Pepsi ranger tested versions back over 10 years, and did not find any where NPC location restoring worked.

I don't remember metemorphosis. I'll look it up in the game list.
