Hiya,
I'm working on saving the action descriptions of pieces of mail
and writeable objects (ITEM_NOTE) when people rent with them,
and putting the descs back on the paper when they log back on.
I mimiced the way titles etc are saved, and it all works fine.
The only thing I'm afraid of is that it will take a lot of HD
space once we get players (the MUD isn't open yet)
I'm using
char action_description[MAX_MAIL_LENGTH+1];
in struct obj_file_elem in structs.h and the rest is analogue
to how titles are stored/retrieved.
The action_description field in obj_file_elem only differs
from NULL when it's mail or a note, and MAX_MAIL_LENGTH is 4096.
Will it use 4096 HD space for -every- item, or will it just
use the space that's filled?
Anyone know more elegant ways of saving the text on
"virtual paper"?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
