If you're referring to just #find as a command, I don't think it's a command included with the latest build:

Output from SQL command SELECT command FROM commands WHERE command LIKE '%find%'; ..

finditem
findnpctype
findspell
spfind

However, if you're referring to #finditem, make sure it's actually set into the database (SELECT access FROM commands WHERE command = 'finditem'), then reboot your server. That should take care of the problem.

The closest you can get to this, currently, is having access to the current player's account status through the $status variable (info can be found here and here). Unfortunately, there isn't anything that allows changing of the status. The #flag command can be run in-game, so I'm sure it wouldn't be EXTREMELY difficult to add support for it into the quests, but it would require some code tweaking.

I'm pretty sure that's doable, although I'm not 100% sure how you would do it with Regular Expressions. I messed around with it a little, but never came up with a working solution.

It's been reported to me on my server that players crash (possibly the zone?) when attacking each other in the arena, but after updating to CVS PEQ DB & Quests, I'm not sure if it's still happening or not.

The first question I would ask are what sizes are the spells_us.txt files that you are each using (for the server, and for the client)? Also, do you use any custom spells?
