Well I guess I'll break my, 'contribute to the list', cherry with
this function I whipped
up today. When a npc kills a pc, he'll 'brag/taunt/humiliate' his victim.
You get the idea, it's
nothing new.
One thing I must say, is that I originally wanted to just interface
with gen_comm, to
send it out over the gossip channel through normal means. Besides there
being !NPC checks througout
the function, it was convulted in and of itself. Not quite clear on these
SCMDS yet. :)
Wouldn't this be cleaner, if it were replaced with a
send_to_channel(channel, mesg);
function or macro?
I added this function to the end of comm.c, inserted all the proper
declarations in comm.*,
fight.c, etc. You'll also have to include screen.h to access the color
definitions, but that should be obvious. Feel free to contact me if you
have any problems with it, or just want to offer me a few
better insults than the pitiful lot I threw together ;)

I inserted a call to the function in the following place in fight.c.

if (!IS_NPC(victim)) {
sprintf(buf2, "%s killed by %s at %s", GET_NAME(victim), GET_NAME(ch),
world[victim->in_room].name);
mudlog(buf2, BRF, LVL_IMMORT, TRUE);
+ brag(ch, victim); /* Brag Function Call - Muerte 9/29/97 */
if (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_MEMORY))
forget(ch, victim);
}
______Code Follows_______
