OK I was grateful for the help with alignment and now am working on classes ( I thought it would be just as easy lol ) but it wasn’t and now IM stuck I want my players to start with no class but found the code didn’t support that so I made a class called NONE and am trying to make the Nany.c set that automatically

This is what IM writhing in

Nanny_Fun(HANDLE_CON_GET_NEW_CLASS)
{
CharData *ch = CH(d);

ch->Class = NONE;

mud_info.stats.newbies++;
d_println(d, "{cWhat time zone do you live in? {x");
d->connected = CON_GET_TIMEZONE;

}

This is the error message IM getting when I compile

$ make install
20:24:53 : Compiling nanny.c...
nanny.c: In function `void HANDLE_CON_GET_NEW_CLASS(Descriptor*, const char*)':
nanny.c:638: error: `NONE' undeclared (first use this function)
nanny.c:638: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
function it appears in.)
make: *** [o/nanny.o] Error 1

IM guessing that I need to tell it to look in my class file to get NONE but I cant think of a way to do that. I may also have made a mistake or two in how IM setting it up too so any help and advice would be appreciated.

Might try to post this in the SMAUG prgramming forum. That way more programmers will see it

You say you "made a class called NONE". Did you put it into mud.h, that is where I would put the definition for it. Also might call it NO_CLASS or something more description.

You could remove the choose class at creation, and set a mob at the start who will mset the class on the new player to NONE before running them through a tutorial or something.

This thread is getting old i think, but here is a section from my nanny, this is what i did to go classless.


case CON_GET_NEW_SEX:
      switch ( argument[0] )
        {
        case 'm':
        case 'M':
          ch->sex = SEX_MALE;
          break;
        case 'f':
        case 'F':
          ch->sex = SEX_FEMALE;
          break;
        case 'n':
        case 'N':
          ch->sex = SEX_NEUTRAL;
          break;
        default:
          write_to_buffer( d, "That's not a sex.\n\rWhat IS your sex? ", 0 );
          return;
        }

      write_to_buffer( d, "\n\rYou may choose from the following races, or type help [race] to learn more:\n\r[", 0 );
      buf[0] = '\0';
      for ( iRace = 0; iRace < MAX_PC_RACE; iRace++ )
        {
          if (iRace != RACE_VAMPIRE
              && race_table[iRace]->race_name && race_table[iRace]->race_name[0] != '\0'
              && !IS_SET(race_table[iRace]->class_restriction, 1 << ch->class)
              && str_cmp(race_table[iRace]->race_name,"unused") )
            {
              if ( iRace > 0 )
                {
                  if ( strlen(buf)+strlen(race_table[iRace]->race_name) > 77 )
                    {
                      strcat( buf, "\n\r" );
                      write_to_buffer( d, buf, 0 );
                      buf[0] = '\0';
                    }
                  else
                    strcat( buf, " " );
                }
              strcat( buf, race_table[iRace]->race_name );
            }
        }
      strcat( buf, "]\n\r: " );
      write_to_buffer( d, buf, 0 );
      d->connected = CON_GET_NEW_RACE;
      break;



    case CON_GET_NEW_RACE:
        ch->class =  0;

Delete CON_GET_NEW_CLASS, replace GET_SEX with above and add the ch->class = class number at the start of get_new_race.

The real problem is how you display class in things like score and who, I cheated and made a citizen class, tho im thinking of changing that around a bit.
