As I recall...Its been 4 months since I did this.
You have to add to the backstab multiplier table in constants.c
The title/exp table in constants.c
The various god levels and there numbers in structs.h
(note) dont change the names of the variables in structs.h if you dont
want to have to go through every chunk of the code and change every
other refrence to a new variable name.
If you are adding god lvls you have to change all the command lvl assignments
in interpreter.c
Hmmm...I am sure I am missing something, but if I think of it I will mail
it out.
I would be all willing to help write a FAQ concerning all these basic
coding questions...how about everyone interested send me a note and
we can discuss who will add what code/directions...I think it would save
this list a LOT of time if we answer these questions once and for all:)
