ok..this post was kind of old (like a week), but i just got the chance to
reply..anyway, this is how i added race skills..
siv
i changed the spell_info struct to be like:
struct spell_info_type {
byte min_position; /* Position for caster */
int mana_min; /* Min amount of mana used by a spell (highest lev) */
int mana_max; /* Max amount of mana used by a spell (lowest lev) */
int mana_change; /* Change in mana used by spell from lev to lev */
-> int class_level[NUM_CLASSES];
-> int race_level[NUM_RACES];
int routines;
byte violent;
int targets; /* See below for use with TAR_XXX */
};
then in the assignment part, added another parameter (CLASS_SKILL or
RACE_SKILL) so that you would assign a skill like this:
spell_level(SPELL_HASTE, CLASS_MAGE, 35, CLASS_SKILL);
spell_level(SPELL_HASTE, RACE_IMP, 35, RACE_SKILL);
void spell_level(int spell, int which, int level, int race_or_class)
{
char buf[256];
int bad = 0;
if (spell < 0 || spell > TOP_SPELL_DEFINE) {
sprintf(buf, "SYSERR: attempting assign to illegal spellnum %d", spell);
log_info(buf);
return;
}
if (race_or_class == CLASS) {
if (which < 0 || which >= NUM_CLASSES) {
sprintf(buf, "SYSERR: assigning '%s' to illegal class %d",
skill_name(spell), which);
log_info(buf);
bad = 1;
}
} else if (race_or_class == RACE) {
if (which < 0 || which >= NUM_RACES) {
sprintf(buf, "SYSERR: assigning '%s' to illegal race %d",
skill_name(spell), which);
log_info(buf);
bad = 1;
}
} else {
log_info("SYSERR: trying to assign spell to something not race or class.\r\n");
bad = 1;
}
if (level < 1 || level > LVL_IMPL) {
sprintf(buf, "SYSERR: assigning '%s' to illegal level %d",
skill_name(spell), level);
log_info(buf);
bad = 1;
}
if (!bad) {
if (race_or_class == CLASS)
skill_info[spell].class_level[which] = level;
else
skill_info[spell].race_level[which] = level;
}
}
then in the guildmaster code..i something like this..that would tell them
to seek a race leader to practice race skills that show up when they type
'prac':
if ((skill_num < 1) ||
(GET_LEVEL(ch) < skill_info[skill_num].class_level[(int) GET_CLASS(ch)])) {
sprintf(buf, "You can not practice that %s here.\r\n", SPLSKL(ch));
send_to_char(buf, ch);
if ((skill_num > 0) &&
(GET_LEVEL(ch) >= skill_info[skill_num].race_level[(int) GET_RACE(ch)]))
send_to_char("You must seek a race leader to practice that.\r\n", ch);
return 1;
}
then i basically made a copy of the guildmaster code for race
leaders..let's see..and i changed list_skills to look like this:
void list_skills(struct char_data *ch)
{
int i, sortpos;
if (!GET_PRACTICES(ch))
strcpy(buf, "You have no practice sessions remaining.\r\n");
else
sprintf(buf, "You have %d practice session%s remaining.\r\n",
GET_PRACTICES(ch), (GET_PRACTICES(ch) == 1 ? "" : "s"));
sprintf(buf, "%sYou may practice the following %ss:\r\n", buf, SPLSKL(ch));
sprintf(buf, "%s(type 'skills' to get a list of skills you know)\r\n", buf);
strcpy(buf2, buf);
for (sortpos = 1; sortpos < MAX_SKILLS; sortpos++) {
i = spell_sort_info[sortpos];
if (strlen(buf2) >= MAX_STRING_LENGTH - 32) {
strcat(buf2, "**OVERFLOW**\r\n");
break;
}
if (((GET_LEVEL(ch) >= skill_info[i].class_level[(int) GET_CLASS(ch)]) ||
(GET_LEVEL(ch) >= skill_info[i].race_level[(int) GET_RACE(ch)]))
&& (GET_SKILL(ch, i) < 97)) {
sprintf(buf, "%-20s %s\r\n", spells[i], how_good(GET_SKILL(ch, i)));
strcat(buf2, buf);
}
}
page_string(ch->desc, buf2, 1);
}
