One of these days I'll remember all this shit. :P https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=19896#p19896 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:22:15 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (InfiniteAxis) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=19889#p19889 I'd like to mention that before we move on to modernizing the codebase or whatever we do, we still need to fix these helpfiles. I don't think any have been fixed. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=19889#p19889 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:28:18 CST SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Zeno) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=7838#p7838 HELP RESET needs to be updated to meet new reset fix. HELP OBJECTTYPES needs to be fixed. It says "Drink_con", which is wrong. The type is actually "drinkcon". https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=7838#p7838 Mon, 5 Jun 2006 14:34:26 CDT SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Zeno) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=6356#p6356 In help exflags, it lists: [code]PUSHTYPE | Players will be pushed or pulled by a type of force. PUSH | Players will be pushed or pulled with a degree of force.[/code] Which are not exit flags. I suppose remove those, since they belong in help redit. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=6356#p6356 Fri, 14 Oct 2005 20:24:57 CDT SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Zeno) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=6149#p6149 Unneeded help files The helps are done with <level>.<help> that way you remove the right one. Failure to use the level could cause you to remove the wrong ones. I would suggest looking at each one and making your own decision on if it should be removed or not from your mud.

[code] Remcon's Suggested Helpfiles ---------------------------- Written by Remcon of Lands of Pabulum What this code does ------------------- This is a general replacement for the stock help command. When a user types in a help for a topic which doesn't exist, the command will suggest other entries in the helpfiles which contain similar terms.

Since the only valid help entry it found was 51 it would then do "help '51'" again which, you guessed it would do it all again, it didnt actually crash it more or less https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=6129#p6129 Thu, 8 Sep 2005 20:29:33 CDT SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=5897#p5897 Since this is about helps and all and someone happened to mention that help ' wouldnt return the helpfile it should (since ' is a command and has a help file) i fiqured i would toss how i fixed it long ago on mine to allow help ' to display the help file for it [code] /* Moved into a separate function so it can be used for other things ie: online help editing -Thoric */ HELP_DATA *get_help(CHAR_DATA *ch, char *argument) { char argall[MIL], argone[MIL], argnew[MIL]; HELP_DATA *pHelp; https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=5897#p5897 Sat, 20 Aug 2005 21:44:54 CDT SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=5896#p5896 Sorry I am late on this reply but I hadnt read all this till today :) Stock SmaugFUSS help Handled help immo fine Handled help 1 <-> 100 fine Handled help righ fine Suggested Help added Handled help immo fine Handled help righ fine Handled help 1 <-> 100 fine (seen something in it though I didnt like so probably fix what it showed) // Should really put the opening only suggested helpfile on next line. *No help on '51' found. *Suggested Help Files: * 51 https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/stock-helpfiles-incorrect-list-1420/&p=5896#p5896 Sat, 20 Aug 2005 21:03:38 CDT SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Remcon)
