Purpose and default policy
Applies a tiered server bonus based on real character alignment, with two client affect icons. In the supplied examples, positive displayed alignment 1000/4000/8000/12000/20000 grants monster bonuses 1–5; negative -1/-4000/-8000/-12000/-20000 grants human bonuses 1–5. These are editable policy examples, not balance recommendations. Internal alignment uses ten times displayed units. Hiding displayed alignment does not remove bonuses; real alignment is used, as in the original.

M2City r1 fixes
The alignment delta now uses a wide intermediate before clamping, avoiding signed integer overflow for extreme changes. Refresh removes an opposite/stale alignment affect even when the expected bonus is already present. This handles inconsistent persisted state without touching unrelated affects. Normal tier transitions, neutral ranges and repeated matching refreshes retain the intended behavior.

Integration and persistence
Reserve IDs 750/751 on both client and server; change both sides together if occupied. Preserve the strongest-to-weakest table order and ensure POINT_* values fit the branch's apply-index type. Merge the ShowAlignment/UpdateAlignment hooks, lookup helper, death-preservation condition, client constants and UI entries. Pack the two supplied 32×32 TGA icons at their declared paths.
After persistent affects have finished loading for a logged-in player, call AlignmentBonus to reconcile stale saved values. Do not call before an asynchronous LoadAffect has completed. The exact completion hook depends on your branch and is not supplied here; reconcile it with ComputePoints and the existing affect save/load policy to prevent double application. The supplied ClearAffect instructions preserve these bonuses across death.
Test login/relogin, positive-to-negative transitions, each threshold, hidden alignment, death/revive and bonus recalculation on a disposable server before enabling for players. Merge instructions into your source, retaining unrelated behavior.

Validation and credits
All 12 original text/source files were read and both TGA icons decoded. Reviewed helpers compiled with a fake character/affect store and -ftrapv; twenty threshold cases, stale opposing state, repeated refresh, unrelated affects, extreme integer deltas and missing-character/descriptor guards passed. Actual persistence timing, network delivery, game calculations and client rendering remain untested. The original README credits EREMIT STUDIO and remains included. Exact public version/checksum was not independently established. Redistribution was confirmed by the supplying owner; underlying code/art is not relicensed.
