The following code is in boards.c:
/* search the room ch is standing in to find which board he's looking at */
int find_board(struct char_data * ch)
{
struct obj_data *obj;
int i;
for (obj = world[ch->in_room].contents; obj; obj = obj->next_content)
for (i = 0; i < NUM_OF_BOARDS; i++)
if (BOARD_RNUM(i) == GET_OBJ_RNUM(obj))
return i;
return -1;
}
So, circle simply looks for the first object in the room that is a board.
All you have to do is pass the actual argument entered to the find_board
routine. This way, if user enters write myboard, you can check for
"myboard" as an argument in the if statement.
If you want to allow 1.board and such, you can parse the argument for
that too.
If you want me to supply actual code for this, let me know. I'll write it
up and post it.
It's been a while, Haddixx...

uh, correct me if i'm wrong, but in the mag_summons function, should
not the act(mag_summon_msgs[fmsg], FALSE, ch, 0, mob, TO_ROOM) line
be mag_summon_msgs[msg] (i.e. msg, not fmsg, as the array index).
and the example for animate dead doesn't assign anything to fmsg...
