Greetings,
I would like to make the following two changes to the act_info file but can't to even though they are quite elementary tasks.

I want to change in the who display from seeing:

2 Warrior Smaug the Fighter
--------------------------------------------
1 Player.

To:

Smaug the Fighter (Level 2 Warrior)
--------------------------------------------
1 Player.

The second change I want to make is in the basic room display for characters.

A New Room
There is lots of stuff here blah blah blah.
Exits: North, East
Smaug the Fighter is standing here.

To:

A New Room
There is lots of stuff here blah blah blah.
Exits: North, East
Smaug is standing here. <- hence removing the title in room descriptions for players.

Hope someone could please find some spare time to help me out, I'd really appreciate it,
Yaakov

The brief config changes it so it doesn't show the title in look, check into how that works.

Zeno's already answered the second issue, for the first issue, why can't you make that change? It should just be adding the parenthesis you want and changing the order of the parameters being called by the string of %s's in do_who.

Sadly I am very inapt in using and manipulating the code and cannot find a solution to these two on my own.

There are plenty of places you could learn C at.
