problems casting spells on player character

[steffijade]

Hi there,
I`m having a little trouble with spell casting on my server. I searched the forums for a soloution a found a post concerning an issue with maps. I downloaded the maps file from sourceforge and this solved most of the problems I had with spell casting but I still have an issue with casting spells on my own player character.
Buff spells seem to work ok, they cast and the effects are updated when I check in the inventory window, but direct damage and healing spells don`t seem to have an effect. If for example I cast a DD spell on myself, the spell casts, the assosciated text appears and my mana decreases by the correct amount but no actual damage shows up either in the inventory window or on the hitpoint bar. The same applies for healing spells..mana is used but no change to the hp bar or in inv window.
DD spells work ok on mobs and I can see the hp drop for the targetted mob.

Any help/hints/advice on this would be appreciated,
thanks Steff.
