Hint: do_set() Also, the defaults should be reflected in places like clear_char() instead of load_char(). The keywords need to be arbitrary length, not 4 characters. Otherwise you end up with gems like "Hite" and "Wate" as keywords. Just split on the first colon and use that for comparisons. kill_ems == strip_cr sprintbits == sprintascii You're not taking advantage of the variable-argument log() function. See remove_player(). diskio.c: Actually, I'm fond of mmap(), but that doesn't mean I have a problem with your code. I'd have to question "why?" though. >I'll probably grab a copy of xapobjs and the ascii board patch this >weekend and start looking them over.

That obviously hasn't happened yet. :) -- George Greer | If it's about the CircleMUD mailing list, greerga@circlemud.org | mail owner-circle@post.queensu.ca instead. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
