Default Spawned Races
I have noticed that EQEmu will not properly spawn any race from any database that is over #race 255. Any spawns over this limit is started over back at 1. Example - In Plane of Storms the giants on the zone in side should be race 309 Air Golem but instead the emu reads them as race 53 Minotaur (309-256=53). Is there any way this can be fixed?

Looks to me like it's being caused by base_race being set as int8 in the code.

Well, yeah, having an 8-bit var would cause that, considering an 8-bit anything can only hold 256 different values . Maybe making it a 16-bit integer in one of the up and coming releases would be a good idea.

its int8, not unsigned int8 ... so its from -128 to 127, no 0 to 255.
