Glittering Caverns Big Bug

[Adaria]

Incoming wall of text, sorry guys. I hope this coupled with my bug report can help address the issue with little problems.

The bug report associated with this is 14197 and I submitted it from the glittering cavern itself.

So, I won't repeat the entire huge long bug report I submitted this morning, but my artisan Talia found a glittering cavern in my mine, but it doesn't look like one on the inside, and I can't mine in it or dig it out to make it bigger.

Not knowing how long they last I decided to post a partial log of finding it, it was, oh around eight to nine thirty or so central, so seven to eight thirty game time. I forget the exact time. Didn't have time to post this then and didn't think about it until later in the afternoon.

Below the log starts, just cut and pasted from my VIPMud log file, it's in two parts as you'll see.

Suddenly a portion of the mine wall crumbles away! When the dust clears you see a large cavern has been exposed!
[CHAT - Coanid]: I really feel for survivalists.
(Type stop to stop auto-prospecting.)
You continue mining the area with your sturdy steel pickaxe. (M:1690)
Using your expertise in mining, you selectively prospect the area in search of azurite.
Suddenly, the glint of minerals causes you to pause. As the dust clears you see you have discovered an azurite vein!
Roundtime: 9 seconds.

[CHAT - Dennis]: There's someone who recently has been departing every death because they're an off-hours player
chat Just do something risky for a bit and you'll work it off, it can even be mining or logging.

[Reinforced Mine Shaft]
This shaft is reinforced with perfectly placed supports and the walls, floor and ceiling are all smooth, hard stone. It is as stable as any mine shaft can be.
The area is poorly-lit. The area is mostly quiet.
You also notice some exquisite pine mine supports, some average pine mine supports, a celestial-blue cedar-planked wagon, a burning brass lantern, a lead vein, an azurite vein (x3) and a glittering cavern.
Obvious exits: north (dark), south (dark).

There you have it! Love the new mining system so far, and really excited that I finally got something other than shades or spiders. Oh and it spawned in my mine oh lord about six nort of the entrance, three northeast then one north? So ten deep I think? I don't know if the specific room it happened in is relevent.

Thanks again!!!
