| i havent really looked alot into this but i was wondering if anyone has changed or though of changing the vampire class from blood users to regular mana? i was pondering it recently.. talking to a couple staff members on LoD and i was thinking about keeping the blood condition code in there.. but rather just have them use mana to cast? im gonna look into it more but if anyone has any comments/ideas let me know :)

| This should be as simple as making them regain mana in the update.c routines, and spend mana instead of blood in the maigic.c do_cast routine.
You should do a grep (search in files, on Windows) for CONDITION_BLOOD (I think that's what it is) and then see if each case is one you want to keep or move to mana. |

| Be warned - you'll have to tinker with other stuff as well! Many other functions have special code to handle vampires, like do_report(), do_score(), do_group() and so on. Do a search for IS_VAMPIRE and you'll see what I mean.
The good news is that changing vampires back to using mana will mostly be a matter of removing all that special-case code. (I'm still considering making this same change, so let me know if it turns out well :) | | Top |
