thanx for the help with the update, it works like a charm now... although now i got a new problem... it seems whenever hit / hp goes over 3500 the pl function which appears on the prompt as a number, starts to go into negatives.. any idea how to fix this problem..

thanx

Probably because before you divide by 10 it goes over 35000, and you might be storing it into a short which only holds 32767.

Try this:


ch->pl = ((long) ch->max_hit * (long) ch->max_move) / 10L;
