Untested (yet) Suggestion: Change two handed weapons to different type--
ITEM_WEAR_2WIELD, for example. Check whether item is CAN_WEAR
ITEM_WEAR_2WIELD, if yes, do not allow DWIELD, if not, allow.
Pseudo code:
else if(GET_EQ(ch,WEAR_WIELD) && !IS_OBJ_STAT(GET_EQ(ch, WEAR_WIELD),
ITEM_WEAR_2WIELD))
{
send_to_char("You are already wielding a weapon which requires both
hands!\r\n", ch);
perform_remove(ch, WEAR_DWIELD);
}
---End code
The above code is just to give an idea of how to approach the suggestion, it
isn't a sure-fix.
(Please tell me if it works)
Hmm...
If you're already adding ITEM_WEAR_2WIELD, you can go around in the
look/examine code (and the equipment command code) and add a prefix to any
2WIELD item such as "Two Handed "...in he wield spot. Or you could come up
with something like that, that is, if you wanted to
Sounds annoying, because you've gotta add a new ITEM_WEAR_* define, and
change anything that it depends on in your code, but it should work.

Methinks this code checks if item wielded in WEAR_WIELD is not DWIELDable.

So both of those are always true, regardless of what type of weapon?
If so, is it possible that the WIELDed weapons are also DWIELDable and that
2 handed weapons have the ITEM_WEAR_DWIELD flag?
See my suggestion above.
