Yes, I agree. There is a larger issue here than a single person solving a problem. The point of the forum is for the answer to be available to others so they can solve the same, or a similar, problem in the future.

If we don't see the solution, then we are foreever having to solve the same problem, which isn't always convenient if the person who happens to know the answer is asleep, for example.

Similarly, it is infuriating when we see a post about a complex problem, and then a final line "I solved the problem myself". It would be nice for the actual solution to be posted as part of the posting.

I'm not one who knows much about Rom, but hell, its sure like Smaug, so I knew it pretty well. 'course both derive from Merc/Diku, so thats why. If ya got anymore problems, feel free to post. Every one makes errors.

Hehe, gotta love posts being written as new info is being posted :P Anyway, bank_gold doesn't seem to be part of the stock pc_data struct so you need to either add it to the struct with appropriate code elsewhere (and maybe a banking system to go with it) OR you can simply change how the bounty is paid - have the Fairy Mofia deliver payments or something :) Probably the easiest route is to simply directly add the gold to the characters current carried gold instead of trying to autobank.


****edit****
HAHA, twice in the same night in the same thread, couldn't have done it any better if I'd tried.

I added int bank_gold; & int bank_silver to hte merc.h file and it seems to have removed the errors for now. You are correct about my first post I would have left it if i had noticed you replied to it but I was changing it and thought when I did that the original post was not seen by other people. I am sorry about that. Thanks for all the help though this site is very helpful.

Looks like they've called some things that aren't quite stock ROM pc_data struct compliant. Look in merc.h right around the line number it gives you and check how your pc_data struct references banked gold.

Also in the future as a kindness to other coders just starting out or having similar troubles, when you solve a problem and encounter a new one leave the original issue up and add another post. Answers out of context to their questions don't make a lot of sense usually, even to the people answering the original questions.

You mean in merc.h I don't have a merc.c ? If so how would I add the bank_gold to the pcdata section? this is what I have.

* Data which only PC's have.

struct pc_data

PC_DATA * next;
BUFFER * buffer;
bool valid;
char * pwd;
char * bamfin;

time_t last_idea;
time_t last_penalty;

Seems like the bank_gold is not a part of pc_data. Check merc.c to see what structure it is in.

Seems like maybe you didn't add bounty.c to your makefile going strictly by the link errors.

Here is the error message I'm getting.

c:\download\mud\startermudv3\rom24\src\bounty.c(225) : error C2039: 'bank_gold' : is not a member of 'pc_data'
c:\download\mud\startermudv3\rom24\src\merc.h(1521) : see declaration of 'pc_data'

This is the line in bounty.c

extract_obj(obj);
do_say(vch,"Very well, here is your payment.");
ch->pcdata->bank_gold += bounty->amount;

Do I need to edit something in the merc.h file to allow this payment to take place there are 21 total errors all refering to the declaration of 'pc_data' in merc.h. the entire bounty.c file is located at link below.

Assign ACT_BOUNTY to a free act flag. is the only random entry that was made to my merc.h

#define ACT_IS_HEALER (aa)
#define ACT_GAIN (bb)
#define ACT_UPDATE_ALWAYS (cc)
#define ACT_IS_CHANGER (dd)
#define ACT_BOUNTY (ee)

Any ideas I tried for hours now and can't quit figure out what i've done wrong. Here is the complete snippet info if needed. http://home.comcast.net/~cyberaww/full-bounty.txt
