I've looked everywhere I can think of in the source code to find out where in SmaugFUSS1.9 it defaults to class 3 if no class is chosen during the initial nanny functions when creating a new character.

I commented out the nanny_get_new_class/race functions to skip straight to the nanny_get_want_ripansi and have a mobile in the start area to change class/races

But it defaults them to class 3 automatically, which isn't the class I want it to default them to.

I realize I could switch the class numbers around to the desired class, but if someone wouldn't mind taking the time to show me where it handles that in the code I'd appreciate it.

I haven't been very successful in locating it, and it just seems odd that it defaults to race 0, and class 3... atleast to me. I'd like to see where and how in the code it handles that.

Where do you see a default class? When I make a new character under SmaugFUSS 1.9 this is what I see:

Enter your character's name, or type new: new

Choosing a name is one of the most important parts of this game...
Make sure to pick a name appropriate to the character you are going
to role play, and be sure that it suits a medieval theme.
If the name you select is not acceptable, you will be asked to choose
another one.

Please choose a name for your character: nick
Did I get that right, Nick (Y/N)? y

Make sure to use a password that won't be easily guessed by someone else.
Pick a good password for Nick: xxxxx

Please retype the password to confirm: xxxxx

What is your sex (M/F/N)? m

There is nothing there about defaulting to class 3, and it doesn't accept your just hitting <enter> - you have to choose one.

and...

/*
case CON_GET_NEW_CLASS:
   nanny_get_new_class( d, argument )
   break;
  
case CON_GET_NEW_RACE:
   nanny_get_new_race( d, argument );
   break;
 */


And have a mobile in the area to set the class and race to the desired ones... but even so, on creation... when you mstat the new player their race is 0 and their class is 3.

I was wondering why it choose 3 for class under these circumstances instead of 0 like race.

I did notice it was the same when you created a new mobile with mcreate, it sets the race to 0 and class to 3 automatically.

The function clear_char() in db.c is what you want to look at. In there, race is initialized to 0 and class is initialized to 3.

Ah, sorry for the delay. Had to go out of town for a few days.

Thank you very much Samson, I was very pleased to come home and see your response. You've been most helpful.
