Question Old patch from 1997

This is how I went about implementing death/kill/deathtrap counters for player characters. It's meaningless in terms of characters having view of the underlying engine, yet still satisfies their hunger for numbers in do_score. Shame to let all that extra space in the playerfile go to waste :) I also have a 'victories in the arena' counter, but left it out considering my arena being scratch code. Should be simple enough to add. jacobin@bellatlantic.net if you have any problems. -Jac A ButterMud Production - Telnet://betterbox.net:4000 Edit the follow spares in structs.h (player specials) __structs.h__ int spells_to_learn; /* How many can you learn yet this level*/ int rip_cnt; int kill_cnt; int dt_cnt;; int spare10; __ Add the following macros to utils.h __utils.h__ #define GET_RIP_CNT(ch) ((ch)->player_specials->saved.rip_cnt) #define GET_KILL_CNT(ch) ((ch)->player_specials->saved.kill_cnt) #define GET_DT_CNT(ch) ((ch)->player_specials->saved.dt_cnt) __ Add the following right before die(victim) is called. __fight.c__ if (!IS_NPC(victim)) GET_RIP_CNT(victim) += 1; if (!IS_NPC(ch)) GET_KILL_CNT(ch) += 1; __ Add the following right before the character is extracted when walking into a deathtrap. __act.movement.c__ GET_DT_CNT(ch) += 1; __ Report it within do_score __do.score__ sprintf(buf, "%sYou have died %d times and killed %d opponents.\r\n", buf, GET_RIP_CNT(ch), GET_KILL_CNT(ch)); sprintf(buf, "%sYou have walked into a deathtrap %d times.\r\n", buf, GET_DT_CNT(ch)); __ Now for the nosey wizards in stat_char __act.wizard.c__ sprintf(buf, "Rip: [%d], Kills: [%d], DeaathTraps: [%d]\r\n",GET_RIP_CNT(k), GET_KILL_CNT(k), GET_DT_CNT(k)); send_to_char(buf, ch); __ Reboot!

if (GET_RIP_CNT(ch) != 0) fprintf(fl, "RipC: %d\n", GET_RIP_CNT(ch));

GET_RIP_CNT(ch) = 0; .. .. case 'R': if (!strcmp(tag, "Room")) GET_LOADROOM(ch) = atoi(line); + else if (!strcmp(tag, "RipC")) GET_RIP_CNT(ch) = atoi(line); break;

This is what i added to save: load_char GET_RIP_CNT(ch) = 0; GET_KILL_CNT(ch) = 0; GET_DT_CNT(ch) = 0; case 'K': if (!strcmp(tag, "KillC")) GET_KILL_CNT(ch) = atoi(line); break; in case D else if (!strcmp(tag, "DtC")) GET_DT_CNT(ch) = atoi(line); in case R else if(!strcmp(tag, "RipC")) GET_RIP_CNT(ch) = atoi(line); save_char: if (GET_RIP_CNT(ch) != 0) fprintf(fl, "RipC: %d\n", GET_RIP_CNT(ch)); if (GET_KILL_CNT(ch) != 0) fprintf(fl, "KillC: %d\n", GET_KILL_CNT(ch)); if (GET_DT_CNT(ch) != 0) fprintf(fl, "DtC: %d\n", GET_DT_CNT(ch)); So why isnt it adding +1 to kill and rip. And why isnt it saving and loading right, what am i missing ?

void die(struct char_data * ch, struct char_data * killer) { gain_exp(ch, -(GET_EXP(ch) / 2)); if (!IS_NPC(ch)) { GET_RIP_CNT(ch) = GET_RIP_CNT(ch) + 1; REMOVE_BIT_AR(PLR_FLAGS(ch), PLR_KILLER); REMOVE_BIT_AR(PLR_FLAGS(ch), PLR_THIEF); } raw_kill(ch, killer); if (!IS_NPC(killer)) GET_KILL_CNT(killer) = GET_KILL_CNT(killer) + 1; }
