Question Mobile Race Snippet

Hello,
I have developed a snippet that allows builders to set mobiles races thru medit. The snippet works for me because I have no mobs, but when I try to test it on tbaMUD, I am met with this error:

Here is the code:
db.c
I edited the ones in gnemob.c and genolc.c

I seem to need to make a check that if it is missing the 0 in the line it adds it. Does anyone know how to do this? I really want to release this snippet. It worked perfect in my mud.

It depends how the new code is writing the extra race information, but assuming it is adding on one additional value to this line you would write something like:
Each of the %d's is a number that sscanf looks for, and puts the value into the t[] character. Make sure t[] has at least 5 when you declare it. I think stock has plenty.

t[4] = 0; means the default race for existing mobs will be race #0, change that to what you need.

Once you boot the MUD up go through and save all the mob files and they should write the new race values to file, then you can comment in the exit(1); part to catch errors in formatting again.

if (sscanf(line, " %d %d %d %d %d ", t, t + 1, t + 2, t + 3, t + 4) != 5) { log("SYSERR: Format error in last line of mob #%d, converting..\n" "...expecting line of form '# # # # #'", nr); //exit(1); comment this out until you have saved all the mobs with the new format t[4] = 0; // arbitrarily set a default race if none was scanned above } GET_POS(mob_proto + i) = t[0]; GET_DEFAULT_POS(mob_proto + i) = t[1]; GET_SEX(mob_proto + i) = t[2]; GET_CLASS(mob_proto + i) = t[3]; GET_RACE(mob_proto + i) = t[4];

I may have got it fixed. Going to run a test on a clean TbaMUD and see what happens.
