crossfire = cvs copy
crossfire-dev = my modified copy

diff in settings file should explain it all, but, in a nutshell, this patch lets server admins change whether items can be burned or turned into icecubes. For some players, this can be interesting, for others, merely annoying, so they should be allowed to choose, imo

enjoy the code

Seems to me your patch is reverted....

Also, items can be destroyed already. Just burning hands'em, enough to destroy.
Note that some items, including usually special quest items, can NOT be destroyed. This is precisely to avoid having to wait for a map reset.

As for icecubes, i think (but this would have to be checked) by changing the material you could prevent freezing/destroying.

Last but not least, i think the best place to post patches is the crossfire-devel mailing list. Many people on the list don't read forums here.

As for changing the materials--a lot of people downloading the server just want to play singleplayer and dont really want to edit every quest item to not burn/turn into an icecube... And I've already burnt 3 items from scorn royalty quest, my sister has burnt one of the 3 oldcity keys, and my brother managed to burn a strange key he needed to continue. I just shutdown the server and restarted, but some people don't really know the dm commands that well. As for mailing list / forum issue, I'll discuss that in the devel forum thread...

Not sure if that's fixed but special quest items can be destroyed using the alchemy spell.

That works, but there is an easier way IMO.

Use the map reset command with DM access

Remember to use the 'who command to find on what map(s) need to be reset first.

One thing about this patch if you use it - you will break a lot of maps. Sorry to be a buzz killer, but that's the way it works - a lot of maps rely on destroying objects to function properly. If you disable game functionality in this way - don't expect things to work properly.

just remember all the maps you will break with this patch...
