to remove the auth for gaining conditions, i did so:

void gain_condition( CHAR_DATA *ch, int iCond, int value )
{
int condition;
ch_ret retcode = rNONE;

if ( value == 0 || IS_NPC(ch) || ch->level >= LEVEL_IMMORTAL/* || NOT_AUTHED(ch)*/)
return;

(commenting out the NOT_AUTHED part)

it appears after a few hours of testing, that my players now have hunger, but not thirst

this is the gain condition void for all conditions, so why isn't thirst working?

here is what my case COND_THIRST looks like:

case COND_THIRST:
if ( ch->level < LEVEL_AVATAR && ch->class != CLASS_VAMPIRE )
{
set_char_color( AT_THIRSTY, ch );
send_to_char( "You are really thirsty.\n\r", ch );
worsen_mental_state( ch, 1 );
act( AT_THIRSTY, "$n looks a little parched.", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_ROOM);
}
break;

this is in update.c around line 478

what am i missing

The issue here is also whether the thirst is increasing (or decreasing) - the part you posted just reports when it is low.

I cannot see anything wrong, and in stock SMAUG you get thirsty, it happens to me all the time.

Is your character an imm, or not? What sort of sector are you in? City or what?

What you need to do is put a breakpoint on gain_condition, and see what is happening to the thirst level.

Here is one approach. I used gdb, and put a breakpoint on gain_condition, and then added a small script to see what was happening to it (was it going up or down?). I note the thirst is gradually going down (ie. he is getting thirsty) however it is quite slow. You might need to be patient to get the thirst message. I put in a "bt" into the script to see where the gain_condition was called from.

I typed this:


break gain_condition if iCond == 2
commands
 silent
 printf "Gain condition for character %s, amount %i\n", ch->name, value
 printf "  -- current condition is %i\n",  ch->pcdata->condition[iCond]
 bt
 cont
 end

Output

  -- current condition is 41

I would do something like that to see if the condition is changing, is it going up or down, and why.

In about 10 minutes he only went from 44 to 41, so he won't be thirsty for quite a while yet.

Also, make sure the items they are selling *ARE* food. So, say you had an item named bread. Make sure you do:

oset bread type food
oset bread value0 10

That should be alright, I think. Then again, you may have done this already. Just something to be aware of.

both are working fine, and apparently always were
it seems it just takes a really long time to gain condition
