Cool... A new catagory. I feel so special! =)

Oh! anyway, I am going to be re-writing some of the skills and spells and adding new ones. I treid this before and I think I missed something. So my quesiton is where all do you need to put info to change a spell. This is where I know of:

commands.dat(However I'm not sure how that works but I'll address that later)
magic.c
skills.c
skills2.c
fight.c
mud.h
special.c
tables.c

That's all I could find. Is there anymore you can think of? Or do I even need all that? Uhh... Now I'm confusing myself.

In commands.dat You have:

#COMMAND
Name at~
Code do_at <---- What is the Code? Is it what you set?
Position 100 <---- Same with the position?
Level 52
Log 0
End

Any help would be much appritiated

The always thankful

First, to answer this. The "code" is the name of the code handler that gets called. eg. if you type "at" it calls the function "do_at" in the C code.

Thus you could have multiple commands call the same code (eg. "say" and the quote symbol).

What you probably want if you want to add more skills/spells is to simply edit skills.dat. Here is an example entry:



#SKILL

Name         Wrath of Dominus~

Type         Spell

Info         0

Flags        33792

Target       2

Minpos       109

Slot         246

Mana         10

Code         spell_smaug

Dammsg       ~

Affect       '10' 13 '-75' -1

Affect       '10' 31 '-3' -1

Minlevel     51

End

A lot of spells are implemented with the code "spell_smaug" which handles things like multiple affects applying to a spell.

In this case this spell decreases hit (13) by 75 (-75) for a duration of 10. It also decreases luck (31) by 3 (-3) for a duration of 10.

Also,

The Position is the minimum position your char has to be to execute the command. 100 being POS_DEAD, 101 POS_MORTAL, (Just look at Mud.h) for them. If you are in a position less then the one stated, the command wont work.

heres the code


/*
 * Positions.
 */
typedef enum
{
  POS_DEAD, POS_MORTAL, POS_INCAP, POS_STUNNED, POS_SLEEPING, POS_BERSERK,
  POS_RESTING, POS_AGGRESSIVE, POS_SITTING, POS_FIGHTING, POS_DEFENSIVE,
  POS_EVASIVE, POS_STANDING, POS_MOUNTED, POS_SHOVE, POS_DRAG
} positions;

Also, as Nick has already stated, the code is the void function thats called to execute the command. In the case of a spell, it pulls void spell_smaug. In the case of a skill or command, it just pulls the void function in either skills.c or act_move.c (or anywhere really).
