Anyone else experiencing crashes with the RPG Game Template?

When I enable day and night, I get the following message on startup: "invalid function arguments in daynight_startup." Then during game play, I see a black partially transparent box over the top left corner of my screen. If I turn the day night option off, there is no crash.

When fighting the skeleton I get the following message: "Script crash in damage_skeleton." I can't kill the skeleton with the mace, I can only kill it with the ring. The spider seems to work fine.

I've tried both the RPG Templates from AUM 108 and 109. Has anyone overcome these issues?
