Hi there.. I got bored of everytime I put in a new spell, I had to update the helpfiles. *yawn* The same for skills. So I put in a little thingie in act.informative.c to do the thing for me. ACMD(do_spellhelp) { /* Also Do Skill Help *chuckle* */ int sortpos = 0; int sort_array[MAX_SKILLS+1]; int a = 0, b = 0, tmp = 0; int class = GET_CLASS(ch); char inpt[256]; extern char *pc_class_types[]; skip_spaces(&argument); one_argument(argument, inpt); for (a = 0;a < NUM_CLASSES;a++) { if (is_abbrev(inpt, pc_class_types[a])) { class = a; b = 1; sprintf(buf, "The complete overview of abilities for %ss\r\n", pc_class_type strcpy(buf2, buf); break; } } if (b != 1) { send_to_char("Sorry, you have to enter a valid class\r\n", ch); return; } for (a = 1; a < MAX_SKILLS; a++) sort_array[a] = a; for (a = 1; a < MAX_SKILLS - 1; a++) for (b = a + 1; b < MAX_SKILLS; b++) if (spell_info[sort_array[a]].min_level[class] > spell_info[sort_array[b]].min_level[class]) { tmp = sort_array[a]; sort_array[a] = sort_array[b]; sort_array[b] = tmp; } for (sortpos = 1; sortpos < MAX_SKILLS;sortpos++) { if (strcmp(spells[sort_array[sortpos]], "!UNUSED!")) if (spell_info[sort_array[sortpos]].min_level[class] < 101) { sprintf(buf, "%sLevel:%s %s%d%s %s%-20s%s ", CCWHT(ch, C_NRM), CCNRM(ch, C_NRM), CCBGRN(ch, C_NRM), spell_info[sort_array[sortpos]].min_level[class], CCNRM(ch, C_NRM), CCBGRN(ch, C_NRM), spells[sort_array[sortpos]], CCNRM(ch, C_NRM)); strcat(buf2, buf); if (spell_info[sort_array[sortpos]].violent || IS_SET(spell_info[sort_array[sortpos]].routines, MAG_DAMAGE)) sprintf(buf, "%sViolent%s", CCBBLU(ch, C_NRM), CCNRM(ch, C_NRM)); else sprintf(buf, "%sPeaceful%s", CCMAG(ch, C_NRM), CCNRM(ch, C_NRM)); strcat(buf2, buf); strcat(buf2, "\r\n"); } } page_string(ch->desc, buf2, 1); } All you need to do now, is to define the command in interpreter.c.. Okay, it's not nice (eg. All skills are peacefull. strangely enough..) and probably could do a little cosmetics somehow, but at least this will keep me away from updating the helpfiles all the time. :) /Serces +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://democracy.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
