My apologies for the length of the message, but I figured I'd be
thorough.
I've been trying to add dual-wield code, and ended up causing segv
crashes. I went back to the code before I started this, and did it step
by step, testing each change. I finally narrowed it down to something
related to adding the eq slot. The changes I'm listing below are the ONLY
changes made between the stable and unstable code. The crash occurs on
the death of a mob, and appears that the followers list for the victim is
getting messed up. My guess is some sort of OOB error, but I'm clueless
where it is. My thought is I'm missing something in adding the eq slot.
Can anyone point out if I have please?
structs.h
--------------
#define WEAR_WRIST_L 15
#define WEAR_WIELD 16
#define WEAR_HOLD 17
+ #define WEAR_WIELD_S 18
+
! #define NUM_WEARS 19 /* This must be the # of eq positions!! */
-------------
constants.c
-------------
"<worn around wrist> ",
! "<primary weapon> ",
! "<held> ",
+ "<secondary weapon> "
};
-------------
"Worn around left wrist",
! "Wielded primary",
"Held",
+ "Wielded secondary",
"\n"
};
-------------
At this point I've simply added the eq slot..I have not added the code for
actually wielding. But the changes above seem to be causing my problems.
I am open to the fact that this simply uncovered a problem that already
exists--but I might as well try the most obvious thing.

Thanks,

PS: I long since wrote the code for wielding and the use of the
skill, and they worked just fine--until the mob died. Sign
