ok so far I've managed to get through it all easily but this part kind of confuses me :/.

5. Make the appropriate additions to tables.c for
do_balance, do_withdraw, and do_deposit.

No idea how to do that, or what to type... I've look through the file and found no hints to it :/..

Any help would be appreciated ! thanks in advance!

Well back before they added in for commands to be handled a different way you had to add in things so it could handle them correctly in tables.c. Chances are if you have a fairly recent download (Hmm I'd say one in the last 6-9 Months) you won't need to add in stuff for tables.c

hrm... Well ok I've got the code in, I can set the flags correctly yet when I go to do "cedit balance create" it gives me this error

Log: Raine: cedit balance create
Log: [*****] BUG: Error locating do_balance in symbol table. smaug: undefined symbol: do_balance
Command added.
Code do_balance not found.  Set to no code.

Any idea how to fix this? I have the same problem with withdraw and deposit as well =[

in mud.h try adding in near other DECLARE_DO_FUNs

DECLARE_DO_FUN( do_balance );
DECLARE_DO_FUN( do_deposit );
DECLARE_DO_FUN( do_withdrawl );

Those are redundent variables from bank.h.

Hrm I think the problem is that the mud.h isn't picking up the bank.h code =\. Should I hardcode it in?

make sure you have an include to bank.h in mud.h and yea you can remove them since its complaining about them. I don't think it would complain unless it was already included so you might want to check your tables.c and see if you do need to add stuff in there. The way tables.c worked is thus
for commands there has to be 2 additions per command
look for something like this

      if ( !str_cmp( name, "do_balzhur"                   ))    return do_balzhur;

and this

      if ( skill == do_balzhur                     )    return "do_balzhur";

If you have the old type tables then you will have to add 2 lines like that for each command addition in the correct spot. Like for balance doing it around the balzhur's will be fine. For deposit look for do_deities and put it around them and for withdrawl look for do_worth and put it around them.

Ok mud.h does have a link to bank.h, and the document did say to add stuff to tables.c but I don't know how to add them which is my problem from one of my previous posts it says what I'm too add, but I have no idea how to to be completely honest. Here it is again if you have any idea.

5. Make the appropriate additions to tables.c for
   do_balance, do_withdraw, and do_deposit.

but I couldn't find an area to add them, or much less what to include on them =\

Well thought I had made it clear in the previous post, but to clarify:

in tables.c
find

      if ( !str_cmp( name, "do_balzhur"                   ))    return do_balzhur;

after that add

      if ( !str_cmp( name, "do_balance"                   ))    return do_balance;

find

      if ( !str_cmp( name, "do_deities"                   ))    return do_deities;

after that add

      if ( !str_cmp( name, "do_deposit"                   ))    return do_deposit;

find

      if ( !str_cmp( name, "do_worth"                     ))    return do_worth;

after that add

      if ( !str_cmp( name, "do_withdrawl"                 ))    return do_withdrawl;

find

      if ( skill == do_balzhur                     )    return "do_balzhur";

after that add

      if ( skill == do_balance                     )    return "do_balance";

find

      if ( skill == do_deities                     )    return "do_deities";

after that add

      if ( skill == do_deposit                     )    return "do_deposit";

find

      if ( skill == do_worth                       )    return "do_worth";

after that add

      if ( skill == do_withdrawl                   )    return "do_withdrawl";

Reason why I had asked is because in my tables.c there is no area to find those if functions :/ I'm using SMAUGFUSS 1.8 if that helps :/

Yea that does help lol and then no you don't need to mess with the tables.c part
Make sure you do a make clean and give it another try.
While I've not actually tried running 1.8 (short of testing out the classes thing you were asking about) it should work fine on adding a new command.

Heh =p, well doing such would loop me back to post #3. =]

Ok, well on to testing this out in 1.8 (Not actually installing the bank code but just creating a command).

<24hp 145m 110mv> <#1200> cedit testing create
Log: Admin: cedit testing create
Command added.

<24hp 145m 110mv> <#1200> testing
You have used the testing command.

I only added a DECLARE_DO_FUN( do_testing ); to mud.h
added in the code for do_testing (it just simply sent a line saying you have used the testing command
and doing a make

As you can tell adding a command was very simple and went over without a single problem.
Best I can think of is to make sure bank.c is added into the Makefile to be compiled.

that's the problem, bank.c isn't being made into a bank.o heh... So I guess I need to go in and do it by hand =p. And here I was going to take today easy and just do some "simple" coding XD

Um, no, you don't want to "go in and do it by hand", you want to open the Makefile and add it to the list of c files.

How do I open the make file?

The same way that you'd open any of the other source files, with your text editor of choice. You open the file named Makefile and add

 bank.c

to the list of .c files which should look something like (mine undoubtedly has .c files that yours doesn't):

C_FILES = act_comm.c act_info.c act_move.c act_obj.c act_wiz.c alias.c arena.c ban.c \
          backup.c bank.c boards.c build.c buidty.c clans.c color.c comm.c comments.c \
          const.c db.c deity.c finger.c fight.c grub.c handler.c hashstr.c hiscores.c \
          hotboot.c imm_host.c interp.c magic.c makeobjs.c mapout.c mccp.c md5.c misc.c \
          mpxset.c mud_comm.c mud_prog.c news.c pfix.c planes.c player.c polymorph.c \
          quest.c ratings.c renumber.c reset.c save.c services.c shops.c skills.c slay.c \
          special.c sudoku.c tables.c tattoo.c track.c transfer.c update.c wedding.c

Yeah, that was the problem (not adding it to the list of make files) thanks everyone for your help =]

Glad to help where/when I can. Though I have to admit that you had me worried about you when you asked how to open the Makefile...

Does it help when I say I have no idea what I'm doing =p, I'm trying to learn C while building a mud at the same time (likes more hands on learning). =D!
