Ok, here's the thing. My opinion is that only a self concited, wanna-be programmer would bitch me out like that for asking for such SIMPLE help (By the way, you might wanna know I got fed up with the bull shit, and put in the mourge code on my own). Even if you people do know C as well as you say you do, you have spent all of your time reading books, and understanding it, and testing it, and shit like that. 'I' don't devote my life to learning C. I could learn it in 1 day if I wanted to, but I don't, I'll take it in stride and learn it slowly. But I think the amount I know is pretty fucking good for a 15 year old. I've spent VERY much time on my mud, and plan on spending YEARS more to make it the best mud around. NONE of the patches, and code snipets I got remained the same, I've added to all of them, or changed them in some way to make them better. I've added plenty of my own stuff, including mourge, now. I've made my own alias/poofin save code, I've added a few unique spec_procs (special procedures) for mobs, instead of takeing the time to patch in mobprog. And I could go on and on with what I've done. The point I'm trying to get across is that not all people have the time or patience to learn C code, or to run a mud. I happen to have both, and I've been looked at the wrong way by someone that THINKS they know who everyone is by how they ask for help. I admit, I'm not a really good programmer when it comes to C, but I am good enought to figure stuff out, yet not good enough to do it quick. What takes most coders about 5 minutes, takes me 30. There ARE people that run muds, that know NOTHING of C, and get people to code for them. They get they're muds running just fine. So don't automatically bitch at people for asking for your help, I don't know where you people read about subscribeing here, but where 'I' read, it said that this is a place to get help with your mud, and contribute to other's muds. I came here for both. When my mud is complete I will contribute what I feel I can let public. But for now, I'm here only for help, and I'll help out with simple C questions, and errors, and ANYTHING to do with UNIX.
