I posted it earlier and ran into the same problem. There will be a few
others that you will run into but they will be a little easier to sort out.
The error that you are receiving is that in utils.h in the section that
you added, you cut and past from the doc file (I did the same thing).
Well, there are a lot of odd codes at the end of the section that you cut
and pasted and you'll need to go into a text editor and goto the end of
each line (I used wordpad or dos editor) and backspace over all the blank
spaces that are extra at the end of the lines (for all the race lines). :)
I'm still working on a problem that I am having with races where when a
character is newly created, that if you type either score or who, the mud
crashes. But after it crashes all characters can do the commands fine.
I've only noted it on who and score when you have JUST created a new
character (no matter the race). Once the mud is brought back up, well,
everything works fine and dandy as far as I can tell (no crashes no errors,
etc).
