Hello,

I'm having some problems when trying to edit some skill commands in a SWR based MUD. I have this skill, that players use with the command "recuperar recurso", but I want to change it to recuperar_recurso. If I edit it on skills.dat, it works but disappears both from slist and practice, so it looks like I'm missing something, but can't identify the problem.

You want players to type underscores?

Well, I don't mind if it is recuperar_recurso or recuperarrecurso, but I find the "..." a bit problematic. Also, what's the problem with underscores? It isn't something that you have to type in the heat of a battle.

It makes your users type in an unnatural way. It also just looks very clumsy.

You say you already have it working as two natural words. I just can't fathom why you'd want to change that into something inferior.

Yes, it's working now as two words, but the " " needed to the ability to work are a bit problematic in my opinion, so I just want to change it to a single word.

You said it is working now. So problematic in what way?


Anyway, can you post exactly what you changed?

In skills.dat:

#SKILL
Name recuperar recurso

to

#SKILL
Name recuperarrecurso

In db.c:

ASSIGN_GSN ( gsn_recover_resource, "recuperarrecurso");

But when doing it like this, the skill will simply dissapear from slist.
