Ansi

How do i make my start screen ansi?
And how can i change it so that before you enter the mud it will ask for Ansi(Y/N)??

I presume you would want two screens, ANSI and non-ANSI. You could add another one to the help.are file. Eg. ANSIGREETING.

As for asking that question, you would want to change the "nanny" function.

Uh,what and wheres the "nanny" function?

In file comm.c

There are 3 or 4 places where "nanny" stands,which should i change?

There is only one nanny function. One other reference is the "function prototype" which declares what the function looks like. The other couple are where nanny is called.

I suggest that you get a good book on C programming, it is very difficult to teach C coding on a very large and complex program like a MUD server.

I can give hints about where to find things to change, but *how* to make the changes is outside of the scope of what I can do here, or I would be here all day.

The real nanny function start like this:


/*
* Deal with sockets that haven't logged in yet.
*/
void nanny( DESCRIPTOR_DATA *d, char *argument )
{
/* extern int lang_array[];
extern char *lang_names[];*/
char buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
char arg[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
CHAR_DATA *ch;
char *pwdnew;
char *p;
int iClass;
int iRace;
bool fOld, chk;

while ( isspace(*argument) )
argument++;

... and so on ...
