Someone asked for this again, so here it is:
------------------------
Stock code gives you 4 hands: light, held, shield, wield.
Despite this you can't 'hold' two things at the same time. I didn't like
this, so I changed it.
I removed the 'light' position.
I added a flag for objs called LIGHT_ITEM.
I recoded the checks for wether someone is using a light item. (It loops
through all the EQ spots and checks for the flag or it the item
is of type 'LIGHT' and held.)
I renamed hold and wield to hold_1 and wield_1.
I added hold_2, and wield_2 positions.
Of V0-V3 on weapons, V0 was unused (claimed to be to-dam bonus, but was,
in reality, unused), so recoded that to be 0=one-handed, 1=two-handed.
I made a macro called ONE_HAND_FULL in utils.h. (See code below.)
I made a function called hands_full() in utils.c. (See code below.)
Of course, I had to re-code wear_message(), and perform_wear(). I'm going
to be a nice guy and stick the code for perform_wear() at the end. You
should be able to figure out wear_message() just fine. It's a simple
function.
That will give each player (and mobs) TWO HANDS and two hands only. They
can hold two items, wield two weapons, hold something and wield
something, wield something and wear a shield, wield a two-handed weapon,
or any combination like that.
Someone once told me: But wait! All light items are held (torches,
lanterns, candles and the like.) That would be making the game
more realistic at the same time as damaging its playability (and
therefore, reducing its fun!)
My response was similar to: What about those hats that spelunkers wear
with the flashlight built into them? How about a shield that
is magically imbued to glow? Or a glowing sword? etc. etc. etc.
