I was handpatching do_jail from the ftp site.. after completing it, first few files compiled fine got to ACMD(do_show) lines 2098 to 2114 in act.wizard.c. What bothers me is i hadn't made any changes to this command, please take a look at the lines i posted (2098-2114), probably just something I missed. shell: {156} % make make ../bin/circle gcc -c -g -O2 -Wall act.wizard.c act.wizard.c:2111: unterminated character constant *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. shell: {157} % heres the offending lines of code: strcpy(buf, "Godrooms\r\n--------------------------\r\n"); for (i = 0, j = 0; i < top_of_world; i++) if (ROOM_FLAGGED(i, ROOM_GODROOM)) sprintf(buf,"%s%2d: [%5d] %s\r\n",buf,++j,world[i].number,world[i].name); send_to_char(buf, ch); break; case 8: show_shops(ch, value); break; case 9: hcontrol_list_houses(ch); break; default: send_to_char("Sorry, I don't understand that.\r\n", ch); break; } }
