Hey guys,
I've been trying to add charisma, morale, and luck to RogueMUD, which is essentially (from what I can tell at least) Rom 2.4b6 with administrative commands, OLC, and color, so hopefully someone will be able to help me. I'm looking for guidance as to which functions, arrays, etc... generally need to be updated in order to add these sorts of things? Thanks in advance!

For the basics, should be nothing more than adding a field to pcdata or just char structs in general. Look for where strength is defined, and follow that example.

One of the header files. There are a lot there, so I'm not sure. Try merc.h; I think the field should be called 'str'.

Alright, so here's what I have:
in merc.h

int security; /* OLC */ /* Builder security */
sh_int volume; // Pueblo Volume
sh_int load_room;
};

Any ideas? Higher up, I have:

/*
* Per-class stuff.
*/

#define MAX_GUILD 1
#define MAX_STATS 5
#define STAT_STR 0
#define STAT_INT 1
#define STAT_WIS 2
#define STAT_DEX 3
#define STAT_CON 4

Figured I should add these
#define STAT_CHA 5
#define STAT_LCK 6
#define STAT_MORALE 7

and change MAX_STATS to 8

Hmm, interesting how they set this up.
 sh_int perm_stat[MAX_STATS];
sh_int mod_stat[MAX_STATS];

So for each new stat you will add, you'll have to increase MAX_STATS by 1, and may have to change the read/write code. I'm not familar with Rom, so that's all I really know offhand.

Where the data is written to file/loaded from file. Normally in save.c, at least in Smaug.

Zeno, you're the best! I had to make some small modifications in the race table as well, but everything appears to be working now. Thanks!!!
