It by no means is the prettiest way of doing so, but you could go about it
by
copying the code for init spell level for each multiclass.
ie; init_spell_level_mage_thief etc. whatever you need. And then assign
that new half breed all the spells/skills it needs. If you want the
character to keep
its original spells/skills you could re assign them in the new
init_spell_level in class.c
and somewhere else in that file i believe is a place where you can set
skills to a certain
learned percentage (search for SKILL_SNEAK, pretty sure it uses that one as
an example) And in there put a check in if the player has been multi
classed, and if so
upon assignment of that particular skill, set it to 100%, or whatever your
mud uses.
This will allow for characters to gain back the spells/skills they had
previously, but only
when they re level to the original level the spell/skill was learned with
the first class. Another way I guess you could do it is in the init_spell
give them all the skills/spells
from the previous class at level 1, and then initialize them at 100%, but to
me if you're
a multiclassed mage, turned into a thief, I'd hate to be the person who got
in my way if
I'm a level 1 thief with a level 50 mage fireball. But its open to
interpurtation of course.
Just an idea of how you may be able to implement such a system, and its
completely off
the top of my head, and rushed quickly before I have dinner so take it face
value.
--Good luck,
