Ok, this is my first post. I am somewhat of an experienced C coder and have
been
killing myself over this simple problem. Below in the sprintf() statement
I try
to add color to Puff's shouts. As long as I keep it commented out, Puff
shouts fine.
If I uncomment the sprintf() line it will compile fine. However,
when Puff does shout the mud crashes with a "Bus-Error". I have seen
color implemented this way throught the code. Why is this wrong somehow?
Oh Dan, if this code looks familiar it because your post the other day
about "announce" is
exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks.
