if you are using linux,
int and long int are the same. but they will give you more than enough
rooms. (whatever 32,000X32,000) is (or there abouts)
its not that hard to do. what i recommend is this. set up theree
typdefs in structs.h
typedef long int ROOM_NUM
typedef long int MOB_NUM
typedef long int OBJ_NUM
then in all the functions that use vnums, replace the sh_int
declarations with the appropriate typedef.
ie sh_int mob_vnum would become
MOB_NUM mob_vnum
also make sure that you change all the external calls at the
tops of lots of the files.
a good way to do it is to just change a few then run a make clean
then a make and redirect the output from the make into a file so that
you can view it at your leisure
make >& make.log
then go in and fix each instance of the warning you get. if you want
i can do a grep on all my ROOM_NUM, OBJ_NUM and MOB_NUM declarations
which will give you an idea of where to look.
