Actually, this is taken right from a stock copy of fight.c in change_alignment:
/* When ch kills a victim */
void change_alignment(struct char_data * ch, struct char_data * vict)
{
/* new alignment change algorithm: if you kill a monster with alignment A
* you move 1/16th of the way to having alignment -A. Simple and fast.
*/
GET_ALIGNMENT(ch) += (-GET_ALIGNMENT(vict) - GET_ALIGNMENT(ch)) >> 4;
}
So, it would appear that unless this is an incorrect procedure, then a good
character's alignment will change 1/16th of the way to evil if he kills a
good character, and vice versa for an evil character. In practice, however,
I don't really pay much attention to it. It could not work... I don't
really know. But the code is there.
