Fire Gecko Pelts

[SpellTrap]

I've made a script for fire geckos so that they should drop fire gecko pelts, another thing I made. One problem: no matter what item's PID I tell it to create in their inventory, it creates a golden gecko pelt. Here's the modified code, tell me if you see any errors. If you can't find any errors in this, any idea where the error would be? Also, this causes the display to say "You see: Gecko" instead of "Fire Gecko" or "Tough Fire Gecko". Thoughts?

Any ideas where the problem is?

[Kashluk]

I really have no idea. The script seems just fine... Maybe check if the game is using some other file, from some other source? I really don't know what could be causing this. Also, check that the Fire Gecko pelt is named / looks like a fire gecko pelt. The script might be working but you're not just seeing it correctly?

[SpellTrap]

It turns out I needed to tweak ecgecko, which is the script that random encounter fire geckos use.
