You'll need to add a struct char *rider and struct char *riding to the mob/pc shared structs. do_mount and do_dismount will handle the checks and assign the pointers as needed. A few small additions in do_simple_move check for skill level if you wish, and 'pull' the rider along with the mount. (Look to follower movement for examples). And lastly, the majority of the changes will be the actual visuals. These are split between actmove and actinfo. You'll need to show the mounted player leaving/arriving, standing in the room, etc. I string my mounts to the end of the players buffer, and treat the mount itself as a 'noshow/invis' entity. So, I get: Jarlinn sits mounted atop a black stallion.
