I made some new classes and when I make a new character and don't customize, the character has every skill and spell at 1% when I do the practice command but it says I have no spells or skills when I try to see them with the spell and skill command. How would I fix that in the code?

I also have no clue as to how to set what weapons they can choose from when creating a new character.

I'm not a big expert on ROM and can't answer your first question.

As for the weapons, I found this in const.c:



/* weapon selection table */

const	struct	weapon_type	weapon_table	[]	=

{

   { "sword",	OBJ_VNUM_SCHOOL_SWORD,	WEAPON_SWORD,	&gsn_sword	},

   { "mace",	OBJ_VNUM_SCHOOL_MACE,	WEAPON_MACE,	&gsn_mace 	},

   { "dagger",	OBJ_VNUM_SCHOOL_DAGGER,	WEAPON_DAGGER,	&gsn_dagger	},

   { "axe",	OBJ_VNUM_SCHOOL_AXE,	WEAPON_AXE,	&gsn_axe	},

   { "staff",	OBJ_VNUM_SCHOOL_STAFF,	WEAPON_SPEAR,	&gsn_spear	},

   { "flail",	OBJ_VNUM_SCHOOL_FLAIL,	WEAPON_FLAIL,	&gsn_flail	},

   { "whip",	OBJ_VNUM_SCHOOL_WHIP,	WEAPON_WHIP,	&gsn_whip	},

   { "polearm",	OBJ_VNUM_SCHOOL_POLEARM,WEAPON_POLEARM,	&gsn_polearm	},

   { NULL,	0,				0,	NULL		}

};

You might find more information in the help file doc/class.txt that came with ROM. Here is what it has to say about adding a new class:

Adding a new class

Here's how to add a new class:

Increment 'MAX_CLASS' in 'merc.h'
Add a new entry to 'class_table' in 'const.c'.
Add sn level numbers to 'skill_table' in 'const.c' for the new class. Set the level to 37 for all skills or spells which the class is unable to use.
Add an entire new block of titles to 'title_table' in 'const.c'.
Add new lines to 'pose_table' in act_comm.c. You need two lines at each level for that class. To keep the 'pose' messages from looking like 'emote' messages, avoid putting the name of the character (the '$n' construct) at the beginning of the line.
