Gods? Who Needs them, beside me that is...

Hello all! I was hoping to see if there was anyone who could lend me a hand, or an ear. I am trying to create my own world, with my own gods. I have fail to find anything to help me create these deities to have the players to devote themselves too. I have both the server, and the code. I would like an easy fix, with just the server, but if I have to get my hands dirty, I will dive into the code. Also, which file would I have to hack to change the "Thoric gives you one gold coin for your sacrifice." into another god's name? Thanks for your time!

I'm not sure what exact question you are asking...

Are you asking for "gods" or are you asking how to create deities for your players to devote too? If you are talking about Deities, Then you do this;

setdeity <deity name> create

then

setdeity <deity name> <fields> <value>
to edit the deities the way you like..

Ah... ok.. now what are the flags/settings?

I saw the helpfile for makedeity, but there is no help for setdeity. I need to know what the numbers are for, for each flag.. Thanks!

My apologies... The first command you do is

Makedeity <deity name>

To create the deity file/name ..

Then you use

Setdeity <deity name> <field> <value>

And if you type setdeity with nothing after it, it should give you a list of all the commands you can use/flags.

Let me know if you need further help.

Again, Thanks! I found some docs with some flags on them. Now, all I need help with is change the 'sac' responds. Anyone know how to do that without editing the source? The area I wish to edit it the 'Thorak gives you a....' Also, any hints on creating Deities? One last thing(well, last one on THIS message ;) ), on the 'default' guilds, how does one 'choose' the leaders to these guilds? Been searching the helpfiles, helpdocs, and everything else! I found the setclan, but, it will not edit the default Guild of (class) in Darkhaven... So far, I remove the guild(n$) == and change it to class(n$) so the proper class may enter the building, until I find out how to make players into the guild leader(s)

Also, which file would I have to hack to change the "Thoric gives you one gold coin for your sacrifice." into another god's name?

This exact question is answered on the web page How to make changes, including compiling.

However, it involves changing the code.

Thank you. Hate to do that, tho, have don't have Unixs, so... Is there help on the flags for deities? Looked in the HOWTO, but, did not go into good details on the flags. I am having the most problems with the deity's class allow. Is there maybe another FAQ, or DOC that spells all of this out, that I may have missed? Really hope so, although, as many as I have printed out, I may have to go buy more ink LOL!

Ok, the thoric gives you 1 gold coin has a snippet somewhere that can make a table of gods and randomly print one out.
Also, the people who can add a person to a guild are set within the guild flags, #1 and the head of the guild can both invoke the command to add a user to a guild.
Also, as guilds are a tedious process, you may want to make a mobprog to let people signup for guilds if you plan on having common guilds.
The table/thoric requires recompiling, I should mention.
Sorry I cant provide you with the snippet, I dont have it.
If you dont want the table, just go in and change the line.
if your modifying the code, X-Tech's free X-FIND is a GUI version of essentually linux grep, so it can find text strings in files, useful when modifying code.
Hope that helped.

Heh... I need some help. Again. ^.^

As Master_Who said before, I'm having problems with my created deities.

The major one I've seen, is that players can't devote themselves to my deity that I created. No matter what class they are, it says "That deity will not accept your worship due to your class."

Thanks for the help,

Yeah.. got that problem too.. AND with the 'Wrong race' :( Next try is to use -1 b/c I have tried 0, or 0123456789 etc...

ok ive worked out you can set the race class and sex to -1 that will put it to none and then anyone can devote to it

minor problem ive found i dont know if its just the way ive done things when a player tries to supplicate object it crashes the whole mud also im not exactly sure how to change what the object is they supplicate

that is due to a bad copy of limbo.are there is a fixed bversion online at http://www.cs.utk.edu/~london/smaug/limbo.are
just put that in your area folder and it should clear up that and a few other problems
enjoy
