Hi all,
I've been trying to make it so object extra descriptions are
saved on objects when players quit/rent...in other words in the rent
file. I plan to use this with my string command. I got the name, short
descr, and long desc all to save but I'm having troubles getting the
extra descriptions to save. Here's what I've done so far:
In structs.h in struct obj_file_elem
char keyword[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
char extra_desc[512];
in objsave.c:
in Obj_from_store_to()
if(obj->ex_description) {
obj->ex_description->keyword = str_dup(object.keyword);
obj->ex_description->description = str_dup(object.extra_desc);
}
in Obj_to_store_from()
if(obj->ex_description) {
strcpy(object.keyword, obj->ex_description->keyword);
strcpy(object.extra_desc, obj->ex_description->description);
}
Everything compiles fine and I get no crashes when saving, renting, or
unrenting, but the object's extra description doesn't save...I realize
that the code above will only allow for the first keyword and extra
description to be saved, but I figured once I got one to save the rest
would be easy. Anyways if you have any ideas of what I did wrong, could
you please tell me...oh, and if you feeling extra generous, could you
please give me hints on how to save all the objects extra descriptions :)
Thanks in advance,
Bodega
