also anyone have any input on how to get do look to show the vnum properly in a list ? I've got to show the object vnum but if there's multiple objects in your inventory it places all the vnums off to the top the lists the objects.

Basically, just add the variable to mud.h in the char_data struct, and then in fwrite_char and fread_char in save.c, you may need to add get_curr_<newstat> function in handler.c, just in case.

What Zeno said is correct. The get_curr_* functions are for ensuring that the values are 'sane' e.g. within allowed limits.

As for your second question you'll have to be a bit more precise about what you've done, what it does and what you need it to do. :)

OK. So you said you did something and it doesn't work - what did you do and how does it not work?

I added this to char *format_obj_to_char( OBJ_DATA *obj, CHAR_DATA *ch, bool fShort )

under the local functions in act_info.c

if( !IS_NPC(ch) && IS_IMMORTAL(ch) ) // helpmeiamlost
{
ch_printf( ch, "&Y(Ovnum %d)", obj->pIndexData->vnum );
}

I figured it'd show me the vnum of the object and it does but, if the object is in your inventory and you've got 2 different objects i.e. ones that wont combine. the vnums are displayed at the top of the inventory to the left and the objects are pused down towards the right.

Could you show me what it does? And the whole function for format_obj_to_char, so that I know what we're working with.

Also could you please format it using the [code] forum tag? Proper indents make it so much easier to follow. :)

OK, here's the problem. Note that the other commands are appending to a buffer, but you directly print to the character.


if (  (IS_AFFECTED(ch, AFF_DETECT_EVIL) ||
      ch->class==CLASS_PALADIN)
      && IS_OBJ_STAT(obj, ITEM_EVIL)   )
    strcat( buf, "(Red Aura) "  );

if( !IS_NPC(ch) && IS_IMMORTAL(ch) ) // helpmeiamlost
{
    ch_printf( ch, "&Y(Ovnum %d)", obj->pIndexData->vnum );
}


See what the difference is? ch_printf sends text directly to the character. But what the other parts do is to append to a buffer, that is later sent all at once to the character.

Be careful though, sprintf will overwrite the string if you don't keep it - you actually want to concatenate your vnum to the end of the string.
