I took this a step farther. I replaced all of the !CLASS flags with
CCLASS_ONLY flags, just for those special items like I have placed on
guild guards and masters. (multiple class only flags are possible for
those that want to cover all spell casting class for example).
I added some new object flags, EDGED, NOCAST, SHINY NOSIY, HEAVY and a
couple others for racial abilities (NOCLAW NOMINOTAUR NOSPITBITE).
Nocast is for metal armor, and other anti-magic type things
edged is for clerics ( I figure the edict from the god is to not shed
blood, so a huge spiked or bladed shield might cause displeasure there
also).
Shiny affects hiding
Noisy affects sneaking.
Heavy affects backstab and circle and steal, and a couple other dex based
thigns.
to compliment the 1st 5 I put in 5 values in the pfile with the same name.
then I have 2 switches in handler.c that assign #'s to these pfile values
based on the wearpos of the item.
when a cleric casts it checks the value for edged, and does a % check.
same for mages and nocast, sneakers and noisy, hiders and shiny.
I have a couple of skills and spells to afect this a bit.
It is a pain to go through and reflag everything, but adds a bit more
realism (imho) to the game. Lets anyone wear anything if they can
live with the consequences.
