Question Skill tan wont load objects

Oh and any ideas for imprevements such as better gear as high level, right now its mostly a low lvl skill

That error message will only appear if the in-game object VNUM doesn't exist.
Eg: if you deleted object 3095 and then tried to tan a shield, it would alert you that object 3095 isn't there.

The !corpse checks for a visible object in the room that matches 'itemname', it doesn't check if that object is a corpse. Like you can drop your sword and tan that at the moment

Oh crap, that is bad, how can i prevent that

I think the best way is to create a new item flag.
Eg: ITEM_IS_CORPSE or ITEM_IS_TANNABLE

Before you do though, have a think about whether all corpses should be tannable, or only some, and whether there will be any other uses for corpses (reanimation, skinning, cooking, ? ). Perhaps you only want certain corpses to be used for crafting.

Find the make_corpse() function and set your new flag in there. Add a check for the flag in do_tan and you're done.

Hmmm damn, thought it worked as it should...

corpses is also needed for animate dead. But makes sense that not all is tannable

Could it be possible to check if anything else then corpse is typed as itemname, then return ?
