Isn't some form of this already implemented on stock Circle? I don't
think it permits you to completely eliminate the keyword of the door,
though. If you can just use the direction (open e, open n, close s)
then you've completely obsoleleted the need for keywords since no-one
will bother to type "open trapdoor" when they can type "open d".
Anyway, if you still want to do it, it wouldn't be too hard. As simple
as changing find_door(). Find the lines:
} else { /* try to locate the keyword */
if (!*type) {
sprintf(buf2, "What is it you want to %s?\r\n", cmdname);
send_to_char(buf2, ch);
return -1;
}
for (door = 0; door < NUM_OF_DIRS; door++)
if (EXIT(ch, door))
if (EXIT(ch, door)->keyword)
if (isname(type, EXIT(ch, door)->keyword))
return door;
And add...
if ((door = search_block(type, dirs, FALSE)) != -1)
return door;
