Newbie Messages Snippet was created by Liko

Hey guys,

I found an old snippet on the circlemud site for displaying newbie messages. I updated the code that allows toggling of a newbie flag. It also doesn't display while your writing anymore.

I hope you guys find some use for it.

I used your instructions, and added everything in the txt file, when I compile I get 1 error,

comm.o: In function: 'heartbeat': comm.c:999: undefined reference to `check_newbie'

here is the function:

Code:

if (!(heart_pulse % (SECS_PER_MUD_HOUR * PASSES_PER_SEC))) {  /* Tick ! */
    next_tick = SECS_PER_MUD_HOUR;  /* Reset tick coundown */
    weather_and_time(1);
    check_time_triggers();
    affect_update();
    point_update();
    check_timed_quests();
	check_newbie();
  }

Did you add check_newbie in comm.c?

Nope, following the text file it said to add the check_newbie function in act.informative.c

You need to add this in act.h and under void free_recent_players(void)

Code:

void check_newbie(void);

I did add that to act.h, per the text file, here's the code:

Code:

/* Utility Functions */
/** @todo Move to a utility library */
char *find_exdesc(char *word, struct extra_descr_data *list);
/** @todo Move to a mud centric string utility library */
void space_to_minus(char *str);
/** @todo Move to a help module? */
int search_help(const char *argument, int level);
void free_history(struct char_data *ch, int type);
void free_recent_players(void);
void check_newbie(void);

/* functions with subcommands */
/* do_commands */
ACMD(do_commands);
