Hey everyone. I've recently been playing with the SmaugFUSS code and I seem to be having an issue with the dynamic command support. I am familiar with using it as I've used it in SWR before and implemented it myself following a snippet.

The issue I'm having is no matter what code I add, it simply doesn't register as code for a new command.

ie. Created code for command do_rfill, void do_rfill( CHAR_DATA *ch)

Compile, hotboot

cedit rfill create

It basically tells me the code doesn't exist.

Am I missing something?

cedit refill create do_refill

That's how I have to make commands anyway.

Or do cedit refill code do_refill

Maybe don't have to do that with dynamic stuff.

With my experience with dynamic command support, just typing "cedit rfill create" would be sufficient. With the DNS caching system in SMAUG, the cache command wasn't created but typing "cedit cache create" works perfectly.

It just seems like anything included on stock SmaugFUSS works fine but it's having an issue with anything that is new. I should also mention I've tried adding a few new commands all with the same result.

All functions that use the DECLARE_DO_FUN setup need to have both the *ch parameter and the const char* argument parameter.

So

void do_rfill( CHAR_DATA *ch)

is not going to work. You need

void do_rfill( CHAR_DATA *ch, const char* argument )

Even if the function never does anything with argument.

Thank you very much Samson. I'm assuming the const char* part is due to the code being compiled with g++?

In all my hobby experience with MUDs, I've always used C as opposed to C++ so I'm guessing this is where my confusion came from. Thanks again, its very much apprecaited.

lol i remember before that got added how annoying it was to add new commands. it really does save lots of time and as samson pointed out it is needed because it looks for those to build its list of possible commands.
