In my first post, I said "I've put it in mob_index_data and char_data (in mud.h)" And value2 works fine, I've already tested it on players.

    unsigned long long  mvr;

Hmm, that could be why. How/where would I add the x8?

should be at the begining of the load_mobiles, the line:

int x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8;

should become

int x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7;
unsigned long long x8;

If x8 is used anywhere else, you might need to make a seperate vaiable for this, something like

int x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8;
unsigned long long x9;

and change the line to read
sscanf( ln, "%d %d %d %d %d %d %d %llu",
&x1, &x2, &x3, &x4, &x5, &x6, &x7, &x9 );

What about this line?

            ln = fread_line( fp );
            x1=x2=x3=x4=x5=x6=x7=x8=0;
            sscanf( ln, "%d %d %d %d %d %d %d %llu",
                &x1, &x2, &x3, &x4, &x5, &x6, &x7, &x9 );

I'm not sure I understand what your asking. All that line does is reset the values back to zero so that if something is not read in properly, it will set the x's with 0 instead of what they were previously declared as. If you don't use x9 before that, it will be set to 0 automatically. If you want to be safe, add x9 to that list.

So far, its still not working. I'll explain exactly what happens. I sign on the mud, copyover/reboot, mset the variable to 5, savearea, stat the mob, its still at 5, then copyover/reboot, loadarea, then stat the mob again. Its back to 0. Whats not working? Loading it, saving it, or we don't know?

Well, you can eliminate a few things by checking your area file to see if the value of 5 is where its supposed to be. If not, then its not writing to the file. I assume that you have the prototype flag on, so just check the appropriate line. If it is in the file, then the problem might be that it is being loaded into the mob index data, but not the mobs it self, you need to check create_mobile to move the data from the mob index into the inividual instances of the mob.

Argh, I don't see the variable. I set the value to 10, savearea, and open the area file. Then I close it, set it to 20, savearea, and open the area file again. Nothing changed, and I never did see the variable. I'll keep trying.

ok, to recap, the mob is set to prototype, and you mset its mvr to 10. Then you savearea. Then, you open the file with a text editor, go down to the mob you were editing, and the line is reading, what? 0? nothing at all? -1?

Nothing at all, I think. Right now I'm having a little different trouble.

gcc -c  -O -g3 -Wall -Wuninitialized    -DSMAUG     act_comm.c
In file included from /usr/include/bits/types.h:31,
                 from /usr/include/sys/types.h:31,
                 from act_comm.c:19:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/include/stddef.h:201: syntax error before "typedef"

This is new to me. I reverted the old change back to normal and I still get the error. Something wrong with my host?

Fixed that problem, whoops. Now, I set the mob variable to 7, savearea, and check the mob. I'm not really sure whats what, but I don't see a 7.

What you just posted is half of one mob and the other half of another. Each mob section starts at the #vnum. Make sure you're looking at the right mob. It would likely be the last number on the line.

Just a suggestion: mset the value to something totally unique, like (123454321) then do a search for that in the area file.

Ugh, sorry about that. I've been sick the last few days, and I can't think straight, lol. Ok, I set it to 987 and savearea, searched in the area file, found nothing.

Ok, so do you know which line it is supposed to be printing out? I beleive that the one you are using is for a "complex" mob, which is defined, at least in mine, as:

	if ( pMobIndex->perm_str != 13	||   pMobIndex->perm_int   != 13
	||   pMobIndex->perm_wis != 13	||   pMobIndex->perm_dex   != 13
	||   pMobIndex->perm_con != 13	||   pMobIndex->perm_cha   != 13
	||   pMobIndex->perm_lck != 13
	||   pMobIndex->hitroll  != 0	||   pMobIndex->damroll    != 0
	||   pMobIndex->race	 != 0
	||   pMobIndex->attacks	 != 0	||   pMobIndex->defenses   != 0
	||   pMobIndex->height	 != 0	||   pMobIndex->weight	   != 0
	||   pMobIndex->speaks	 != 0	||   pMobIndex->speaking   != 0
	||   pMobIndex->xflags	 != 0   ||   pMobIndex->numattacks != 0
	||   pMobIndex->vip_flags !=0)
	  complexmob = TRUE;
	else
	  complexmob = FALSE;

Which, as you notice, does not include your mvr variable. So, you might need to add it to this list to define it as a complex mob, like such:
	if ( pMobIndex->perm_str != 13	||   pMobIndex->perm_int   != 13
	||   pMobIndex->perm_wis != 13	||   pMobIndex->perm_dex   != 13
	||   pMobIndex->perm_con != 13	||   pMobIndex->perm_cha   != 13
	||   pMobIndex->perm_lck != 13
	||   pMobIndex->hitroll  != 0	||   pMobIndex->damroll    != 0
	||   pMobIndex->race	 != 0
	||   pMobIndex->attacks	 != 0	||   pMobIndex->defenses   != 0
	||   pMobIndex->height	 != 0	||   pMobIndex->weight	   != 0
	||   pMobIndex->speaks	 != 0	||   pMobIndex->speaking   != 0
	||   pMobIndex->xflags	 != 0   ||   pMobIndex->numattacks != 0
	||   pMobIndex->vip_flags !=0   
	||   pMobIndex->mvr        != 0)
	  complexmob = TRUE;
	else
	  complexmob = FALSE;

If it is not considered "complex", as in none of the above variables are set, then it will not write it out.

Looking at your last post, it is simple mob, as it has the "S" here:

#1302
shopkeeper~
A shopkeeper~
A shopkeeper stand here, selling things
~
~
1140850691 0 0 S
1 0 0 0d0+0 0d0+0
0 0
101 101 1


Of it were a complex mob, it would have been a C, I beleive. That is why it is not being written out. So add your variable to the list on that ifcheck, and it should then write it out.Hope that helps.
