Is there a snippet around to install this? I am finding it difficult to convert the SWR/SWFotE stuff back to using C instead of C++, once I got everything to compile, I am getting a crash after I added the area loading part of the code in. I did the saving part first, hotbooted, saved the areas and everything worked, but now with the area loading stuff in, after a hotboot it crashed and the GDB is telling me this:

(gdb) bt

(gdb) list
6988                {
6989                   char *actflags = NULL;
6990
6991                   actflags = fread_flagstring( fp );
6992
6993                   while( actflags[0] != '\0' )
6994                   {
6995                      actflags = one_argument( actflags, flag );
6996                      value = get_actflag( flag );
6997                      if( value < 0 || value > 31 )

I have no idea what the tarea= means. Thanks.

id say above

6993                   while( actflags[0] != '\0' )

add in an

if( actflags == NULL ) break;

maybe toss in a bug message etc... You could check limbo.are for the actflags too. Id suggest looking at db.c 7654 and make sure it is sending the correct info for tarea to fread_fuss_mobile as well.

I ended up figuring it out. When I tried compiling the code using the stock copy and paste of the C++ version of that code, it gave me errors about the one_argument expecting a const char instead of a char *, so not thinking, I just changed how one_argument worked compared to SWR 1.3 FUSS one_argument code. It was what was causing the error. So I reverted back and removed the const char stuff out of that function and all was well. I think I am going to put together a snippet on how to added KEY'd area formats into an older version of SWR before the C++ changes. Thanks for the response Remcon.
