Note from Samson: This is the corrected version of Sadiq's snippet and includes
all the necessary changes, including the corrections posted to the list after
the initial release.
Okies, here it is. This snippet will enable your mud to have a MUCH broader range
of vnums to build with. Specifically, it ups the range from roughly 32,700 to 2 billion.
The meat of the whole thing is simply to change the type cast of the relevant variables
from sh_int to int, and change the many places where the number 32,767 is actually coded
in, to 2,000,000,000.
I know some may question the fact that I decided to define MAX_VNUMS, and use that, through-
out the code, but I did it, to save on the finger-leather in the event that someone would
want to (although I couldn't begin to fathom why) 'upgrade' to a still larger range of
vnums. (With additional coding, it's possible to bump the limit to 4 billion, or even more)
A small word of warning here: Changing the cast of a variable to a larger type *will* cause
your mud to use a bit more memory. If you are on a quota'd system, keep an eye on the
memory you are using. The changes advocated herein won't bump your memory usage by earth-
shaking proportions, but it is a good thing to keep track of :)
Finally.....I don't consider this a snippet, per se, and so I don't require any credit, if
you happen to use it, on your mud. Feel free to pass this around, as you see fit. I've tried
to catch everything I could, but this is a formal statement that there is no guarantees
that this is complete, will work on your system, or is even worth adding, at all. I *did*,
however add this stuff to a stock smaug release, and got a pristine clean compile on a
RedHat 5.2 system, and tested the code lightly, in-game, with no problems, whatsoever.
Enjoy,
Sadiq
P.S. Be aware, also, that if you have added any new code to your mud, which involves the
vnums, you may have to alter it, to acommodate these code changes. The same basic rule
apply...change the cast of any variable that is to hold a vnum value to int, and change
any occurances of '32,767' (where relevant to vnums) to MAX_VNUMS.
