| Hi, new to the forums - nice site :)
So, the problem I'm having is with adding a new language. I created a language for the drow race, called drow. I'm running Smaug 1.4, linux. I used the gnome language fix as a guide:
In act_comm.c I added LANG_DROW to the lang_array[], and "drow" to lang_names.
In mud.h I added #define LANG_DROW BV21 /* drow language */ , and also added it to the VALID_LANGS section, at the end as ... LANG_GNOMISH | LANG_DROW ).
I did make clean, and make. I created the skill for it, set it as a tongue, set guild -1, saved the skill table, shutdown, and added it manually to each class file. Did make clean, make again, and booted the mud.
Now, the problem I'm having is that I don't know a number for it so I can add it to the drow.race file - and setting it online via "setrace drow language drow" does nothing, even when I "setrace drow save" afterwards. So new drow start with only common. Logged on as my level 65, I tried to "mset bob speaks drow" and I get a system message that says, "Players may not know drow". I can walk the test character north to the language teacher, who I added the language to, and the player can learn it there.
Is there someway to change this so I don't get the system message that players cannot learn the language, and so that I can have drow start with it at creation? Same goes for the preexisting langs such as spiritual - I can change the name, etc, but the same thing happens when I try to give it to a player.
Thanks for any help. | | Top |

| wow, ok it took me 4 hours but I figured this out. I thought I'd post it here in case anyone else has a problem with this. It also affects the gnome languge fix that is available on the internet.
To create a new language:
in act_comm.c =
find lang_array[ ] add the new language just before LANG_UNKNOWN in: LANG_CLAN, LANG_GITH, LANG_UNKNOWN };
find lang_names[ ] add the new language just after "gith", in "clan", "gith", "" ];
in mud.h =
find #define LANG_GITH BV19 /* Gith language */
and after it, add #define LANG_DROW BV20 /* Drow language */
find #define VALID_LANGS and add LANG_DROW at the end, so that it reads LANG_GITH | LANG_DROW )
ok - this is what the available gnome language fix says to do. but I found that if you do this, when you try to give a new char the language, whether its gnome or drow or whatever, the game bugs and gives them only common. It also sends a "Players are not able to learn drow" message if you try to mset it. You also need to do this:
in mud.h =
find extern sh_int gsn_gith and add extern sh_int gsn_drow beneath it, following the same pattern.
then in build.c around line 2847, find VALID_LANG and add LANG_DROW to the end of the list, just the same as in mud.h
and, do the same in mpxset.c around line 957. There is a third (total) VALID_LANG chart here.
Without these, the language will not be given to players at creation.
******************
Edited to add this
******************
two more places, if you want it all nice and clean:
in db.c =
around line 193 add gsn_drow to the list of other languages,
around line 636, add assign_gsn( gsn_drow, "drow" );
in tongues.dat =
add the new language to the list at the very top
******************
Then, make clean. Then make. Boot the mud, logon, and do:
sset create skill drow
slookup drow
sset (whatever sn it is) type tongue
sset guild -1
sset save skill table
Then you have to add the language to every class file, and change the min level from 0 to 1 in skills.dat.
The language number for the race file is 2 to the power of the BV # of the language. | | Top |
