Same functionality as the pet shop, except that it would provide personal keys, provided the char entered the keyword "pray" in room #3054, like so: strcpy(buf, "item_for_"); strcat(buf, GET_NAME(ch)); Heh...there also used to be a pretty funky feature with this spec proc, that most imps didn't know about at this time (1991-93). If you created a char with the names Redferne, Quifael, or Papi, there were special (and quite unbalancing) keys to their god rooms/areas you could get by praying at the Temple Altar. Redferne's key to his castle and vault netted 1mil coins. Quifael got you Quifael's Global Optimizer, a 3d5 +2 weapon...fairly substantial in those days. Papi's zone contained Papi's cat....a lvl 1 mob (i.e. easily charmed), with astronomical stats. Ahh, what a trip down memory lane that was. :) If you can, obtain a copy of Diku gamma source code. You'll really come to appreciate alot more what Jeremy has written and re-written for Circle. Not to dis the forefather's creation of course.... ;) We wouldn't be where we are without em.
