Don't know if this helps, but I differentiated between different types of
damage by the array in fight.c dam_message(ch,vict,hit_type,dam) or
something like that. Er...wait! No! It's near the top in some struct.
Don't ask me how to get the weapon type out of the object, you can
probably find the answer somewhere in structs.h.
the struct goes vaguely like this
hit 0
sting 1
whip 2
And on and on(about 15) It's up to you to decide which is which,
however(pierce,slash,bludgeon)
