Howdy ya'll, I'm not new to Circle MUD, but I am definitly _very_ new to coding so please bear with me here =). I am working on a spec_proc for a current zone I'm building, what I'd like it to do is to basically make a mob gecho, but only to the zone. The closest command I can find to this is shout, and I've figured that I could do the spec_proc something similar to: (i havent' checked if this works yet, so forgive any stupid errors) SPECIAL(announce) { ACMD(do_gen_comm); if (CMD || FIGHTING(ch)) return FALSE; case 1: do_gen_comm(ch, "The captain has turned off the no smoking sign.", 0, CMD_SHOUT); return TRUE; default: return FALSE; } I _think_ this would then show up something like: MobA shouts,'The captain has turned off the no smoking sign.' (only to the zone) But what I am trying to make it do is: MobA announces, 'The captain has turned off the no smoking sign.' (only to the zone) any ideas? suggestions? Also another very newbie-ish type question, when i did a grep on "shout" I got over a page of places it is listed (so I did it more specifically to narrow it down) anyways, my question is: is there some way in Linux that I can make it show the results of the grep in pages? (instead of just scrolling off so fast that I only see the last page worth).
