sorry to be such a pest.
I have come really far on this role and I am almost done.
Probably I should have learned about programming BEFORE programming, and...
If I had I wouldn't have had to ask questions, but...
I got my Pirate.des file completed no compile errors anymore.
the only thing I need now is to know where to get the utilities to convert des files to lev files..
That would be lev_comp (oddly enough) which should be built as part of Slash'EM. To do it properly you need to add level description files (.des) to either spec_levs or quest_levs (as appropriate) in dat/Makefile. Note that each level is listed twice (once as part of the dependencies and once as part of the command).
my problem I guess is in the util directory I have lev_comp.l and lev_comp.y
but no exe am I supposted to?
ahh nevermind its in the src directory
ok one last question I promise.
so I have an artifact that is a scroll of magic mapping
I list it as:
OBJECT:'?',"scroll of magic mapping",(04,01),blessed,0,"The Marauders Map"
and it doesn't accept it. what do I put in so it will generate the artifact?
oh its closed
lol a few years later, and I am thinking.... why didn't I just try somethings? THAT is USUALLY the answer, it is about trial and error, that is how you learn things.... help helps, but sometimes (like this issue) it was a simple solution, I just had to figure it out.
