You still don't. The point of the modified code is that there are
different messages if you are sneaking or if you AREN'T sneaking.
While i'm at it, that percent check needs to be removed altogether.
What needs to happen is to move the check for successful sneaking in
the movement code....
int do_simple_move(struct char_data *ch, int dir, int need_specials_check)
. . .
if (!IS_AFFECTED(ch, AFF_SNEAK)) {
if (IS_NPC(ch))
becomes
if (!IS_AFFECTED(ch, AFF_SNEAK) && GET_SKILL(ch, SKILL_SNEAK) <
number(1, 101)) {
if (IS_NPC(ch))

Yeah, the character always get to TRY to sneak, but isn't always
successful.
Stock code doesn't make as much sense, in my opinion.
