I love the code and what not it is really cool...i'm just not sure what it means when it says to do the following... yea I know it said the novice coders shouldn't try to do it ...but, how do we become un noviced coders otherwise :P... anyways if anyone could give me an example of what to do to do the following i'd be greatly appriciative.

Then locate ALL calls to can_see in the following functions:

do_where [act_info.c]
indent_whogr [act_info.c]
do_who [act_info.c]
get_char_world [handler.c]
do_transfer [act_wiz.c]
do_gwhere [act_wiz.c]
do_gfighting [act_wiz.c]
do_bodybag [act_wiz.c]
do_users [act_wiz.c]
do_loadup [act_wiz.c]
do_ipcompare [act_wiz.c]

Add a TRUE argument to the calls.
Then locate ALL other calls to can_see and add a FALSE argument to those.
Then locate ALL calls to the PERS and MORPHPERS macros in the following functions:

do_group [act_comm.c]
do_where [act_info.c]
do_owhere [act_wiz.c]
do_owhere [grub.c]
do_vsearch [act_wiz.c]

Add a TRUE argument to the calls.
Then locate ALL other calls to the PERS and MORPHPERS macros and add a FALSE argument to those.

I can't provide an exact example, I'm in CISCO, but what you do is... find the can_see function where it is called, like:

if ( can_see(ch, victim) )

So it says to add TRUE, so do this

if ( can_see(ch, victim, TRUE) )

Just like that. It's a bool check of some sort, but those are only examples, not the real call.

Sound to me like you need to link in the math libraries.

In your makefile, confirm that you have -lm on your L_FLAGS line. If not, add it, should clear those errors right up.

Thanks Graven,
I missed that step in the Overland snippet...totally over looked it for some reason everything seems to work fine with the exception of fold_area and load_rooms..... not sure which one is causing the fault but if you edit any rooms and folda the mud crashes on a warmboot/copyover...saying the following....


Sat Oct 30 22:39:35 2004 :: [*****] FILE: limbo.are LINE: 782
Sat Oct 30 22:39:35 2004 :: [*****] BUG: Load_objects: # not found.

as an example...i can't figure it out...i had to add an extra set of room flags maybe that's it i'm not sure..if there's anyone that could lend me a hand i'd greatly appriciate it..

Nevermind i fixed it...something to do with the version stuff ...it didn't like it when you modified it for some reason...changed it back to 1 instead of 2 and now i've got no issues yet :)
