Ok I've been reading all over hre and some people have posted certain things almost regarding my question but not really answering it.

1. Can the damage be displayed when you hit a mob like in rom 2.4?

Example of the rom 2.4 mud fight display.

Your wrath *** DEVASTATES *** the Crested Gibbon! [71]
The Crested Gibbon is poisoned by the venom on the Blade of Denmark.
Your wrath *** DEVASTATES *** the Crested Gibbon! [65]
The Crested Gibbon is poisoned by the venom on the Blade of Denmark.
Your wrath misses the Crested Gibbon.
Your wrath *** DEVASTATES *** the Crested Gibbon! [72]
Your wrath *** DEVASTATES *** the Crested Gibbon! [74]
Your wrath *** DEVASTATES *** the Crested Gibbon! [64]
The Crested Gibbon is DEAD!!
You receive 0 experience points.
The Crested Gibbon's heart is torn from his chest.

Also when they hit you it displayes the damage done.

I have gotten it to display the exp gained per hit from one of the posts I read but can't seem to find any help to make this display.

I have smaug 1.4a original I think but it does have most of the updates I've seen in the fuss but it just says smaug 1.4a. I haven't used the smaugfuss because it causes my colors to go nuts and rip nolonger works.

PLease any help would be great I have little codeing exp but I'm picking up fast.

Thanks for any help... :-)

Yep. Just display the 'dam' variable in the function where it sends the hit txt to the char.

For a start, I would look in fight.c, function new_dam_message:

Change:


    if ( dt == TYPE_HIT )
    {
        sprintf( buf1, "$n %s $N%c",  vp, punct );
        sprintf( buf2, "You %s $N%c", vs, punct );
        sprintf( buf3, "$n %s you%c", vp, punct );
    }

to:


    if ( dt == TYPE_HIT )
    {
        sprintf( buf1, "$n %s $N%c [%i]",  vp, punct, dam );
        sprintf( buf2, "You %s $N%c [%i]", vs, punct, dam );
        sprintf( buf3, "$n %s you%c [%i]", vp, punct, dam );
    }

And a bit further down, change ..


        sprintf( buf1, "$n's %s %s $N%c",  attack, vp, punct);
        sprintf( buf2, "Your %s %s $N%c",  attack, vp, punct);
        sprintf( buf3, "$n's %s %s you%c", attack, vp, punct);

to:


        sprintf( buf1, "$n's %s %s $N%c [%i]",  attack, vp, punct, dam);
        sprintf( buf2, "Your %s %s $N%c  [%i]",  attack, vp, punct, dam );
        sprintf( buf3, "$n's %s %s you%c [%i]", attack, vp, punct, dam );

You probably also want to change the nearby part for poisoned weapons too.

Once you have done that, it should look like this:



<840hp 100m 102mv> 

You scratch the guard. [5]

You dodge the guard's attack.

The guard's slash cuts you! [31]

The guard's slash hits you! [37]

You dodge the guard's attack.

What about for Windows?
What file do I edit?

Zeno USA Sun 25 Jul 2004 03:55 AM #5

You need the source, and a Windows compiler to do that.

Once you have those, just do the same.

Regardless of what version you are running, the modification will be to the damage display in fight.c - this of course requires you be able to recompile the code after you've edited the source code.
