Bragging Npc's - A ButterMud Production
		ButterMud - Telnet://betterbox.net:4000

    Players seem to really enjoy this one.  When someone on the mud dies
at the hands of an Npc, they end up having to suffer the humiliation of
the npc's taunts on the gossip channel!

   It goes in quick and easy.  Any questions/problems suggestions, feel
free to drop me some email.

Add the following to comm.h

__comm.h__

void    brag(struct char_data *ch, struct char_data *victim);
__

Add the following to fight.c

__fight.c__

/* External procedures */  
void brag(struct char_data * ch, struct char_data * victim); 

_Now call the brag fuction whenever an npc kills a player character.  I
added it within the following conditional, and works like a charm.

if (!IS_NPC(victim)) {
      sprintf(buf2, "%s killed by %s at %s", GET_NAME(victim),
GET_NAME(ch),
              world[victim->in_room].name);
      mudlog(buf2, BRF, LVL_IMMORT, TRUE);
    if (IS_NPC(ch))
      brag(ch, victim);    /* <- Insert brag call here */
      if (MOB_FLAGGED(ch, MOB_MEMORY))
        forget(ch, victim);
    }

Now add the following function to the end of comm.c

__comm.c__

void brag(struct char_data *ch, struct char_data *vict)
{

 /* Npc taunts slayed player characters.  Text goes out through gossip
    channel.  Muerte - Telnet://betterbox.net:4000                     */

  break;
  case 11:
