Now aren't we forgetting some things, here? First, code has to be
compiled and the MUD has to be rebooted for the game to take into
account the changes. Second, coding is tricky and someone can really
messy up while trying it online; problems would be difficult to come
by and a few minor errors can hold back that major code addition you
have been planning for quite a long spell of time. Third, it's all
too unsecure to have anyone except for those with the login to your
account be able to code anything. Unless you are planning on a script
language, I'd suggest staying *FAR* away from allowing builders to
add spec procs online; and if you are creating a script language, you
would need very good error-recovery or detection to pull it off without
having the MUD crash every 2 minutes.
Assigning spec procs, however, is easier done than said. :) Just have
a little e-proc ("Spec") that has the spec procs name and a function
that checks the e-procs name and assigns the spec proc to the index of
the mobile. (did that sound really confusing? It's easier to code
than to say)
